These tacos were suuuuuuperrrr goood! We were cruising around and stopped here to eat and hit the cages. It's in a super lowkey spot & easy to miss as I almost missed it as we were riding by in our bikes. We got the 3 taco deal & they were all super good! I usually don't like anything raw but somehow these tacos changed my mind. Definitely would come back, service was okay as the cash register took a while to take our order since she was talking to people in there but in this case all the good beat the bad

SOOOOOOOO AMAZINGGGGG -- after a three hour drive, this was hitttttingg we each chose three tacos: 2 carne asada, gangnam style, grilled shrimp, spicy crispy shrimp and ahi poke (the poke was okay, we just aren't big on the wasabi flavors!) we also ordered the egg rolls which were stuffed and delicious! they did not skimp on the fillings which is great. service was great as well as ambiance, it's easy to miss right off the freeway but definitely worth the wait. it's busy for a reason! can't wait to have it again

Fun place to go to grab some tasty tacos. The parking lot can be a pain if going during peak hours. The "triple play" allows you to choose 3 tacos for your choice for about 10 bucks.

We loved finding this spot! The tacos were great, and it's so fun that you can watch or use the batting cages. We enjoyed it so much we came back three days later.

Great spot stopped by with the work crew and had some delicious tacos. Service was fairly quick and that salsa they make is perfect heat and the tomatillo salsa on the taquitos was flavorful and mild heat.

Every time I come to East Beach tacos I get the taquitos they are on point! The atmosphere is a chilled lay back vibe. Everybody walks up from the beach to get food.. For the longest time I just passed this place and had no idea I was missing out big time. it's Mexican American fusion type easy to eat food. I would definitely stop here if you want to snack or a quick bite to eat that's tasty and reasonably priced

Random spot, batting cages a block away from the beach, but the tacos were amazing. We came back two days in a row. The triple play is awesome - lets you pick your own three tacos! Carne asada, Chicken, Carnitas and plenty of seafood options - you really can't go wrong. Service was so warm and friendly - we were recognized on our return trip. Almost stuck around another day, just for another taco lunch!

Probably the best seafood tacos we've ever had -- the spicy shrimp, the ahi tuna hard taco, the battered cod...so amazing. It's an unassuming little hole-in-the-wall spot next to baseball batting cages and a couple blocks from East Beach, but they've got outdoor seating which was filled. Pro tip: get them in to go boxes, and walk down to the beach, and eat tacos in the sand while you hear the waves crash...

One of my favorite taco places in Santa Barbara. Right next to the batting cages. The grilled shrimp taco may be my favorite with the Bahn mi a very close second. The salsa that comes on the side is so spicy and flavorful it is incredible. Usually a wait, but well worth it. Parking is tough but there is a lot off of Calle Puerto Vallarta, so it's just a quick walk. Seating is outdoors so it can get chilly. Dog friendly. They also serve beer and sake.

Some of the best tacos in CA hands down. It's easy to miss, small entrance and shared parking with the batting cages but do yourself a favor and find this place.

I was just visiting area for the day and I was looking for a fish taco place. This place was amazing. Fast, service was excellent, very reasonable prices and the tacos were delicious!!!! I can’t wait to go back! I had the triple play and picked the Ahi tuna, grilled shrimp and grilled fish. The other photos were from food sitting in the window and it looked amazing! I will say I loved the salsa but be warned it’s hot! (And I’m from Texas!)
