Food was great. The waitress that served us accidentally spilt an entire chimichurri oil ramekin all over me (okay, accidents happen) but it was quite weird for her to offer us something and then end up charging the full price anyway

First time using this place for a catering order for a party of 25. Got 25 individually packed lunches with 3 empanadas and everyone raved about how great the food was. Thanks again!!!

Amazing Argentine food in Santa Barbara! The empanadas and milanesas are my favorites, and you’ve got to try the Dulce de Leche dessert. The patio is a great place to eat, super cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and there’s parking right on-site. Definitely recommend!

Environment is pretty. Had higher expectations for the empanadas, they could have been a little more flavorful but otherwise would go back

Ok place. No AC seating. We were melting even on the shade. Little delay on getting our food. Other tables came after us and left before us. We ordered quick and together but we all got food at different time. Some people finished their meal and others were just waiting for food.

Delicious empanadas and sides. A very friendly atmosphere, and service. Luckily we were there during Santa Barbara’s Fiesta weekend and there was a local Flamenco dance show. A very memorable night. Outdoor seating in a casual atmosphere.
