“Lunch at Natural Café was exactly what we needed!

We arrived very hungry and left completely satisfied. The menu offers an impressive variety of fresh, healthy dishes, and everything sounded so delicious that choosing what to order was the hardest part. There are so many mouthwatering options that you’ll find yourself wanting to try them all.

After placing our order, we barely had time to choose a table before our food arrived. Everything was served fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I ordered the salmon with pesto accompanied by an arugula salad, and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals as well, including the fish tacos, vegetarian burrito, and roasted chicken breast with marinara pasta.

The restaurant itself is bright, spacious, and comfortably air-conditioned, with plenty of natural light and greenery both inside and outside. The outdoor seating area is thoughtfully equipped with numerous umbrellas, providing welcome shade and comfort on sunny days.

Natural Café is a wonderful place to enjoy fresh, wholesome food in a relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“The food was pretty good. I had the Poke Theory bowl. It had good flavor and the bowls are about the right size for the price. The only issue I had was that the food had a lot of water in the bowl and so I felt it washed away some of the flavor. I also had the Galaxy Lemonade. It was really good and worth the try. Parking is limited. The seating is sort of small and only 5-7 tables in side. The owners are friendly and nice.“

“I took my granddaughter. I'm not used to high priced preppie food.

Parking: Very small parking spaces. Not everyone owns those "ultra smart" Smart cars!!!! No one owns them because they died from their own car crash.“

“Elubia’s Kitchen is a great, authentic Guatemalan spot in Isla Vista. It’s truly a hidden gem. I had the pupusas and they were excellent. Fresh and served the right way with incredible salsa.
They also have really good combo options. You can tell the food is made with care and tradition. I will definitely be ordering some of their pickup catering options next time we have a big gathering at home - the prices are very reasonable.
The best part is the family behind it. They are genuinely kind people, and that comes through in the experience. Elubia has created something truly amazing! Definitely worth stopping by.“

“i sat outside, it’s such a beautiful day and area, the ladies were very kind and respectful, and the food is so delicious. i tried their tacos dorados platillo. i can’t wait to bring friend here and i would recommend this place to others!! i also got chai latte, it was very yummy, way better that starbucks and old town coffees chai 😁“

“Who can go wrong with Kyle?“

Not doughy and rubbery or greasy ..bursting with flavor ! I had the raised top shelf and the banana cream pie. Ate it the next afternoon. Tasted like just made unreal Flavor !!“

“We love this place! Food is great“

“The Grill on the Alley is Hands down, our favorite Beverly Hills Go-To! Classic, Old school fantastic service, food, ambiance and menu. It's our first choice for taking out of town guests. Five Stars all the way. The Grill sets the standard for every other eatery. There are others... innovative chefs, beautiful design. But if you want classic BH top drawer, the Grill on the Alley never misses. II recommend the Liver and onions, The chicken pot pie, specials like the Seabass last night are outstanding. Brick Chicken, Lamb Chops, and the best Martini's!! Love this place forever and always.“

“This place is probably the healthiest spot to eat in Isla Vista & it’s bomb! Consistently craving it. The drinks are great too. Good quality food and lots of flavor - it’s basically a Mediterranean chipotle. The Moroccan hot sauce is HOT but delish. They just lowered their prices too. So worth“

“Food is wonderful we have crab cheese wonton fresh roll, spicy noddle shrimp chicken satay everything is testy, restaurant is super clean , the owner very nice 👍“

“Great ice cream and delicious 😋“

“Came here for dinner and can honestly say the food here is amazing! The food is so flavorful. It is on the pricey side but I totally think it's worth it. Nice portions and even had left overs! We came here for dinner and the atmosphere was nice and mellow, the staff was attentive and overall it was a nice experience. Lots of vegetarian options and plenty of parking!“

“I want to give a special compliment to the staff here.

Every time I come to this restaurant, everyone is friendly, professional, and welcoming. Today, I was waiting for a pickup order, and since the food wasn’t ready yet, I went back to sit in my car.

To my surprise, when the order was finished, one of the staff members actually brought it out to my car. That level of service is very rare these days.

At many restaurants, even when the order is ready, nobody bothers to let you know. But here, they genuinely care about their customers and go the extra mile.

It’s small gestures like this that make a big difference and keep people coming back. Great food is important, but outstanding customer service is what makes a restaurant truly special.

Thank you to the staff for your kindness and excellent service. Highly recommended“

“Saigon Noodle House is one of my favorite spots in Goleta. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently well made. The pineapple fried rice is a standout and something I order every time, and the egg rolls are always a hit.

The atmosphere is welcoming and you can tell there’s real care put into both the food and the service. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re looking for great Vietnamese food in the area.“

“Came here for the Pho, broth was fire, ordered the #6 and it came out to $14.95. My only complaint is that they went a little skimp on the noodles but the flavor was on point and came with all the fixings that a traditional Pho place comes with. Service was great, always checking on me and my cup was never empty. Overall good job!“
