I absolutely love this place. The staff is always friendly and patient, the food is phenomenal, and the restaurant is very clean. Yes it's just tacos, but they are damn-good tacos. My favorites are the asada, adobada, and cachete. Pro-tip, get an asada taco and a cachete taco and then mix the two meats together. The fatty, tender cachete blends amazingly well with the perfectly cooked asada. The salsa bar isn't anything fancy, but it doesn't need to be. The line does get long sometimes but it's worth the wait. I make it a point to swing by here whenever I'm in the area.

Our cousins brought these tacos home for lunch and OMG... delicious and huge tacos. They were stuffed so much. Great tacos to try are the check, carne asada, pork and steamed beef. Definitely have to get these tacos again. Our cousins said that they are usually busy so come early.

Lilly's tacos! A staple when we come to Santa Barbara. I ordered the steak and marinated pork tacos. They were quite good and had all the condiments. The steak is very tender and you can tell they make all the ingredients fresh. If I had to choose I would get the steak tacos! The service was quite good! They lady at the front was nice and the food came out faster then a McDonald's drive through. And the ambiance was very nice too. It's a small taco shop and in the middle they have a condiment station with a lot of options to choose from. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star review instead of 5 is cause 14 dollars for 4 tacos is pretty expensive. If you don't mind dropping that much for 4 tacos I would check this place out.

The best tacos. I drive from Santa Paula to Goleta every time I want to eat the best
Very inexpensive taco place! It's been an early low cost taco place before the more recent taco craze. A simple place to eat if you chose to eat at their eating place..

I heard great things about this place but I think I have to agree with some of the other reviews in that their meat is either really juicy or dry and been sitting in a bucket for a long time. I sadly got the dry meat. They could improve by cooking it to order like most taco trucks. Otherwise the service was great and there was lots of seating room inside for large parties.

Tacos tasted good. Toppings are self-serve. It's a little dark inside, but everything else seemed good. I would revisit.

Located in a big plaza so parking is not an issue. You order at the front and get your food at the counter next to where you order. You get your food super fast and there's lots of seats. Lighting is somewhat dim. Tacos are fairly priced at 3 bucks each and they come with two tortillas so you can make two tacos with one. My appetite is decently large, and I usually order 3, but sometimes I get 4 if I'm really hungry and it's quite filling. I get the beef tongue and cheek and they are absolutely delicious. Super soft and melts in your mouth. I recommend getting the steamed meats over the grilled meats because I feel that they are more tender and less dry, but the grilled meats are good too. There is also an area in the middle of the restaurant with unlimited toppings such as onions, cilantro, salsas, etc.... Definitely recommend this place

Great food, super quick service. Limited menu which makes it easy to pick what you want.
