My significant other has never tried pupusas before and I was craving for them, so when this showed up on our radar, we had to stop by.
They have clearly marked vegan options. Good customer service. And delicious food. Would definitely visit here again.

Such a good surprise!! It’s so rare to find a completely gf place and have it be this delicious! I got the pork and Guatemalan flower pupusas and my bf got 2 burritos, everything was so good! Also got the passion fruit and hibiscus drinks, which were perfectly refreshing. The girl at the front was super sweet and explained everything I asked, vibes were very chill and simple in the best way. Would 1000000% recommend and go back again!!
I first started ordering food from Elubia’s when they only had the food truck on Rutherford. We started going to the restaurant as soon as we learned of it.

Elubia's Kitchen Isla Vista offers a pleasant dining experience with a menu featuring tasty Latin food, particularly praised for its pupusas and garnachas. The food is considered pretty good, especially by Isla Vista standards, with the pupusas described as surprisingly yummy and the curtido and salsa roja receiving high marks. While the pricing is decent, some diners feel the portions could be more filling. However, the service at Elubia's is noted as an area needing improvement, with reports of long wait times and difficulties in reaching the restaurant by phone. Despite these service issues, the atmosphere is enjoyable, and many customers express a strong desire to return, highlighting it as a gem worth visiting in the Santa Barbara area.
