One of the best breakfast burritos I've had great burrito. I have the chorizo and it's everything I wanted in a breakfast burrito.

Stopped in before 9am to try their small burrito special. From 6:30-9 there are an array of breakfast burritos for $5.95 plus tax. This is the perfect size burrito in my opinion. Opted for the egg, bacon and cheese version with hot salsa on the side. Delicious. Would come back to try the chorizo, egg and potato. The service was great, staff super friendly, clean, and cutely decorated. Also it smelled really good walking in. Enjoy!

Passing through Santa Barbra we had just seen this place on tv & decided to try it. Well worth the effort! We both had pozole & loved it! Such big servings too, neither of could totally finish. Loads of hominy, excellent pork and not fatty!! Highly recommend! Friendly staff & nice casual environment, small. We went on a Wednesday at lunch, no wait.

This was breakfast stop number two for my friend and I last weekend. Stopped in not knowing that Guy Fierri had stopped in here not once, but twice. Have to admit, was a little skeptical because I've been to a handful of places that Guy has been to - and I felt they were just OK. That's how i felt about Lito's. First off - parking on Haley. No issue. I saw what looked like it could be a parking lot behind. You'll have to ask though. We found parking basically right in front. Free too. Walk in. Order. Find a seat and your food will be served. Order first though. There's even a sign asking you to. Don't go hogging tables as the place isn't big - not a lot of seating. Place was about half filled when we got there. Stayed steady like that until we left. Service was great. Attentive. Friendly. Really nice. Makes me feel bad that I'm not a fan of the food. But I wasn't. Not that it was bad. It just didn't knock my socks off. I will say this though - if you like Menudo, the portions are great. If you look at the pics and see how the bowl is full of tripe. For my particular taste though, needed more acidity to mask the funkier notes of the tripe. The breakfast burrito was standard for me. Again, no wow factor for me. We didn't try either dish that Guy had on his visits. Not sure if I'd go back to try but ya never know.

I had a late lunch. I ordered the chicken enchilada lunch special. Very tasty and good service. The chips and salsa that came with it were delicious. The only drawback is it’s a small place with not a lot of seating. I was able to get a table as I got there for a late lunch. If you go during the lunch rush, you may have to wait for a table or order to go. I also ordered a machaca burrito to go. I ate that the next morning on my flight home. Burrito was huge, the size of a small baby. It was tasty as well.

Came for breakfast. Ordered the menudo, green chilaquiles and carnitas burrito to go. Everything was delicious. Chilaquiles were a little spicy for my buds, but still good. Carnitas taco was as big as a burrito.

This place is a must stop for me whenever I'm in Santa Barbara. Their breakfast burritos are excellent, staff is always very friendly, and they just updated the restaurant to vibe with their Santa Barbara surrounding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! 5/5 stars If you can, call ahead as it can get busy! Guy Fueri has been here and I can see why.
