Disgusting food!!!!!
THIS REVIEW ONLY APPLIES TO SUMMER SESSION:
I absolutely hate how the hours are extremely arbitrary and inconsistent. So much downtime just to open for 1 hour at a time??
Nice place..

pretty atrocious
Got food poisoning multiple times from this dining common in 2019. Beware of the salad bar, they don't seem to replace the dressings often. I was ignored when I tried to warn them of the health & safety issue. I even tried escalating it to UCSB dining and they were incredibly dismissive.
I was a Gaucho for a couple of years and the UCSB dining commons are nothing but special to me. Pizza, burgers, pasta, sandwich bar, salad bar, waffle machine, unlimited soda, all-you-can-eat everything all with a simple card swipe! (or <$20 for non-students) Seriously, some of you guys' complaints make no sense. You really expect French Laundry quality here? Yeah right! This place's job is to provide us with glucose for our brains to complete our studies, and for that I'd say it's beyond satisfactory. Ranking of the DCs: 1. Ortega (sushi baby!) 2. DLG (late night cravings) 3. Carrillo (best breakfast) 4. Portola (too far, had it once)
LOVE THE FOOD
Better food than the other dining commons. Go here if you can.

Great food and atmosphere
Very good atmosphere
Probably the most hotel-like dining commons in the UCSB.
Just a simple i liked it sums it up pretty well.
You can get nice sushi rolls
