I had the burrito bowl and it was absolutely delicious. Very cute and authentic Mexican restaurant, totally plant-based and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend!

Everything is amazing. Don’t miss it.
Grab a menu when you head in the door then walk up to the counter when ready to order. Great soundtrack of hip music and very friendly staff.

Went here for brunch and loved it! The best blueberry pancake I’ve ever had. Breakfast tacos were on fresh flour tortillas with delicious tofu scramble. Can’t go wrong with the crunch wrap either. Very nice vibe inside too! Friendly service.

We ordered corn esquites, torta and chicken ceasar wrap. Everything was fresh and with tasty sauce/seasoning!

Got the al pastor burrito and chips and guac while in Santa Barbara a few weeks ago and both were great flavor and texture wise. I liked the (seitan?) al pastor in the burrito.

Unreal. The food was so good, I am obsessed. I live 6 hours away and I might drive here again next weekend. Do not skip. 😍😍😍

Rascal’s did not disappoint—they earned their 5-star review—and you don’t have to be a vegan to love it. Santa Barbara’s finest dining locales extend beyond State Street! This was our first visit to Rascal”s and we arrived just minutes before closing—both the owner and employees couldn’t have been more gracious, welcoming and thankful for our business. Now for the food: It’s absolutely exceptional. Everything is so fresh and delicious tasting. The bean tostada is the best I’ve ever had. Masa made from heirloom Mexican corn??! Yep. Apparently it makes a huge difference because this place has the Midas Touch in the kitchen. Loved the oyster mushroom tostada also and that delicious looking and tasting crispy flour shell thing filled with beans, etc. Absolutely the best tasting (and textured) tacos, tostadas and all things Mexican we’ve ever tasted. Owner said Kourtney Kardashian came in last week which certainly underscores the growing momentum of Rascal’s culinary reputation and bodes extremely well for future business success. I predict there’ll soon be a long line of hungry customers extending down the street for this absolutely delicious, authentic and reasonably priced Mexican cuisine. We can’t wait to return to Rascal’s!

Food is awesome! Service is good, the only thing is they are busy so a little slow but expected.
We got the crunch wrap, sopes, and Fritas,. All the food was on point! We also got churros. Overall great food and a must stop for vegans / vegetarians alike!
I tried the Crunchwrap, the torta and the agua fresca.
The crunchwrap was good, had some decent flavor and didn’t turn into a hot mess until about halfway through
The torta was a bit unimpressive and the agua fresca was just okay.
Will try again some day

Nothing much to write home about. The tacos were not very flavorful. The salsas were good though

I called in a rush since I didn’t know they closed at 2pm and when I went to pick up my order, the guy with the tattoos was superficial and the stereotypical California “fake nice” to me. My coworker noticed too even though I didn’t do anything rude to him. Food was meh

Had to support the only all vegan restaurant while visiting Santa Barbara. Pricey but at least the portions are large. Had the crunchwrap. Cashew cream sauce on point! It was really tasty but the second half fell apart when I picked it up. Cute place. Wish I had sat on the back patio (sunny day) because it was freezing inside, but didn’t see it until I walked to the restroom.
