“My husband and I were visiting the Santa Barbara and Solvang area from Las Vegas. We came across this place. It was fantastic! The food was fresh and flavorful. The best Mexican food we have had in a long while. The owners/servers were so friendly. Wish they were located in Vegas so we could go every week.“

“Beautiful decor and ambiance! They had a great musician playing outside too. My family all loved what we got. I sampled everyone’s dishes at the table and they were all quite delicious! Very satisfying. A wonderful and memorable meal and night.“

“Never been to Santa Barbara but I believe this is the parent of the Los Arroyos in Carmel, Indiana. I could not find a page for them, so please forward my message if you can. I wanted to extend a huge thank you for the outstanding food and service we received at the Los Arroyos in Carmel last Friday afternoon to celebrate my husband’s and another’s retirement, you all did your very best to make it special and I truly appreciate you all!! Thank you so much!“

“Great food here for a reasonable price. Portions are great sized.“

“This is the absolute best place for Mexican food in Goleta. I have been coming here my entire life. The food is simple and delicious. It’s family owned and operated and they’re so so kind. If you want a good quick meal at a great price with excellent people, come to De Valle.

Vegetarian options: You can ask for anything without meat, very flexible.“

“Beautiful little ice cream shop, but oh so much more…most delicious sherbet type fresh fruit smoothies. All kind toppings. Healthy green drinks. Creative combinations. Definitely recommend that you check this little shop out. I can’t believe there was not a line out the door on such a hot day.???“

“El Sitio is a local Mexican food spot with a cult like following. As simple and straightforward as they come. Delicious!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of no-meat options.

Parking: There are a number of spots right in front of the restaurant, but the street parking can be limited.

Kid-friendliness: Mellow environment is kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a step into the restaurant, so it’s not wheelchair friendly.“

“Been in Goleta for a long time. Great place for breakfast. Servers are fun and friendly.“

“Great service! Our waitress was attentive and super sweet! Highly recommended!“

“Okay this place is amazing! The staff is always so wonderful too! Truly the closest thing to authentic homemade Mexican food. I understand that with any restaurant cross contamination is a thing but unfortunately here I occasionally end up with meat in my food, despite ordering veggie options. I just remove it and keep eating though so it's not an issue but I'm putting a 5/5 either way because it's so worth it. Other than that we eat here pretty often and I wish the company all the success in the world because they are so wonderful. Don't forget to order your horchata because it just ties the meal together.“

“Everything is gluten free. Massive portions, more than enough for two. It is a food truck parked in the outside eating area of a cider bar. Order your food, get your cider, and by the time you are seated the food is ready. They have lights and heaters as it gets cold outside so dress warmly. Food tastes great.

Dietary restrictions: Everything is gluten free. The "flour tortillas" are made from potato and rice flour.“

“Delicious Food! Excellent service, very friendly and delicious hand made tortillas“

“I just recently discovered the breakfast menu.. it's amazing. There's no real atmosphere in this Taco Bell. You generally use the kiosk. No real human interaction. They're always making the orders. General, at least the times I've been there. Which is totally fine. The food is done quickly.“

“My wife and I shared their chicken and tri tip combo and ate on the patio with our dog. I thought both meats were tasty. The beans were okay, but the rice was somewhat dry. There's not much decor outside, but the inside looks pleasant.“

“Oh my gosh, so where do my wife and I begin! The first thing we noticed upon getting off the freeway and Goleta was that there was so many taco bells. My wife and I had driven there to drop off a nestling Robin who had fallen out of its nest in the Wildlife Care Center off of Fairview Boulevard. Kind of just to see what the hype was about we decided to stop at one of the Taco Bell's before hopping back on the 101 South. We ordered on the kiosk so it was very sanitary and user-friendly and then immediately went outside to the nice patio area to wait. I know this is a review for Taco Bell but I cannot emphasize enough how great their food contrasts in comparison to just a regular Taco Bell! Their bean burritos were actually stuff the size of a small Chipotle burrito with tons of beans onions red sauce they actually grilled the tortillas! I'm very impressed as well by my wife's taco. As if that wasn't enough when we got our order, the employees recognized that it was kind of inundated with customers, and before even asking us I had already sent in a ploy to the pack to obtain the key, and he asked us would you guys like extra coupons for a free Taco for having to wait so long we apologize. We obliged and the employee looked her straight in the face with sincere not and handed a several free Taco coupons in response to an only 5 minute wait. We were not only Blown Away by the customer service and friendliness, but also by the cleanliness in lieu of covid-19, and most importantly the quality of their food. This wasn't just a regular Taco Bell and I hope that we can get ours and our city to also cook and regulate their employees with the same respect. The only discrepancy I have was the small parking lot very cramped on the left side of the building. Be advised you pull in from the north side of the lot and exit at the South. many people were confused“
