Really friendly and helpful staff and wonderfully fresh and flavorful foods. Obviously we had to get the mole, and it did not disappoint. Even the kids burrito was made with care and quality.

I was craving Mexican food so badly 🌮🔥 and I’m SO happy this place did not disappoint! 😍👏
I got a mixed plate so I could try a little bit of everything—and it was all so good 🤤💯. The mole had just a tiny kick 🌶️, the beans were perfect 🫘, and the avocado was exactly how I like it—not too many onions, just right and nice and limey 🥑🍋.
The meat was super tender, and the flavors and sauces brought everything together beautifully 🍖🌮💥.
Absolutely hit the spot. Can’t wait to come back! 🙌🇲🇽

The tamales were excellent. The rice and beans were also very good. The only suggestion, the restaurant should give larger serving of salsa and chips.

Delicious meal - top notch mexican food. authentic, careful presentation, and thoughtful portions. The waitstaff is cheerful and prompt. The atmosphere is quiet, breezy, and pleasingly simple.
With entrees you receive a salsa flight - jalapeño salsa, avocado poblano salsa, serrano chili oil with pine nuts, and habanero crema. A small chips is also complementary.
The tacos are a bit pricy, but the food is well worth it. I got the guacamole to start (enough for 2-3 people) then the cabbage salad, and a large pozole. The large pozole is quite large, enough for 2 people almost. The cabbage salad is refreshing, hydrating, and a tad spicy. If you do an appetizer or 2, go with a smaller order size for sure. To go is available.
Will definitely go again next time i’m in town.

10/10 across the board. Fantastic food, excellent staff. We wanted to try the chilaquiles and these were done perfectly. The mocha was also delicious with my breakfast. We would definitely go here again!
I went to have dinner here to celebrate a graduation. We had a reservation for later but they took us early. The atmosphere is very relaxing and inviting. We started with some guacamole and their complimentary chips that were accompanied by a flight of assorted delicious salsas. Our entrees were all very delicious and were served promptly. The staff really topped off the evening by being friendly and helpful. The next time I am in Santa Barbara I will be returning to dine here again.

Great food - good, flexible service, tasting and interesting takes on Mexican food. Just great!
One warning, nothing to do with their place: the reservation system through Google currently goes through Toast; however, the restaurant does NOT get those reservations, even though Google sends a “confirmation!” They were barely able to accommodate us anyway on Mother’s Day, but just know you apparently need to SEPARATELY reserve through Open Table, or by phone! Very disconcerting - Google has apparently been notified MULTIPLE times, but has done nothing about it.
