New Mexican Restaurants in Santa Barbara, CA

“Tonight for delicious dinner, great specials,great service!👍🌈“

“Alma Fonda Fina is something special. Montecito can be a tough crowd- fussy people with more basic tastes. This is not your typical restaurant and I don’t think the neighborhood truly grasps how lucky they are to have it. The dishes here are so creative and really pack a punch- we got nearly everything on the dinner menu with our larger group, and the variety was incredible. Their halibut ceviche with passion fruit and grapefruit wasn’t like anything I’d ever had before. The Baja-style fish tacos were another favorite of ours, and so was the ribeye chicharron (our second time getting it, it doesn’t disappoint). And their house made tortillas just melted in our mouths - it was all truly authentic and presented beautifully. The service was solid and consistent, great recommendations and evenly paced.

This is probably one the best restaurants in the Santa Barbara area at the moment. There is magic happening in this kitchen, it’s not to be missed!“

“Great food, great staff. They serve menudo on weekends and it's the best around.“
