Los Arroyos Downtown Mexican Restaurant

We love it. Everything was homemade, authentic and felt like eating at home. We had the Pozole and chili rellano. The tortillas are soooo yummy. Definitely coming back and recommending to all. I’m craving the food as I write this.

Authentic Mexican food with the quality of a sit-down restaurant and the service of a fast-food restaurant.

This was an average Mexican restaurant. The food was average. I probably would not return. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The serving sizes were generous quality was average at best.

Avoid the carnitas tacos like your tongue dependent on it. The meat was like splinters on a shingle.

Really friendly cashier and the place is super clean with a modern vibe. It gets pretty busy, and the seating fills up fast. When I was there, I saw four Santa Barbara police officers eating, which felt like a good sign.

The carne asada taco was full of flavor, tender meat, a little smoky, and seasoned just right. The rest of the food tasted fresh and had that real, authentic Mexican flavor.

Parking’s not the easiest, but once you're inside, it’s totally worth it. The salsa bar is awesome with lots of choices, all fresh and tasty. Definitely coming back.

Great place for vegetarians

Carnitas were burnt like they’ve been sitting there for hours and restroom was closed because the floor was a little wet.

This place is amazing. Great food, friendly service. Salsa bar was popping.

Food was delicious! great and fast service. Ordered burrito and tacos al pastor

Very good place and students discount. Thank you bro

It was fine but there are far better options. One thing important to note, if you've seen a menu or an advertisement that includes margaritas here, think again. It's a wine cooler, not a margarita. They dress it up and it tastes ok, it's just not a margarita and shouldn't be listed as such. We had the ceviche for an appetizer and if that was the only thing being graded this place would be all set. Bright, fresh and delicious but that's where my praise stops. I had the tacos de mar. Fish tacos. Bland and tasteless. The beans and rice were fine but, you know, it's beans and rice.....The wife enjoyed her empanadas but for me, a wine drink masquerading as a margarita and forgettable food can't be rewarded with anything more than three stars.

Food was delicious. You order up front and then they bring it out to you. Shall eating area but relaxing. Good music. The burrito mojado smothered in cheese and the veggie tacos were both good. The chops are served and then you have your choice of salsas that are self serve. We enjoyed our lunch there.

Loved the authentic food

Food was awful, over cooked and no flavor. I shared my comment with our server/bar tender and the manger took $5 off our $116 bill. Never came out to chat with me. I thought $5 was an insult. Wasnt looking for a bargain, food was just bad. Also, meal came out in 5 minutes after ordering so pre cooked and heated up. Dont eat here !!!
