    I was a bit confused at first because although the sign said "Burger Express" everything about it screamed Mexican Food (El Zarape is attached/next door).

They have shakes and smoothies choices of strawberries, mango and banana , also chocolate and cookies N Cream . They have heat warmers outside if needed . Well recommended to friends and family Definitely will be returning back here when I'm around the city .

    Stopped by this place on a recent visit to Santa Barbara…read more Not a lot of positive to say, but not bad enough to give it one star. That's for the worst of the worst. There was an indoor area, and we didn't know at the time, but there are separate outdoor waiter service areas and counter service. We did counter service. There were two people at registers. There was literally no one in front of us and no marked nor even obvious line area. Naturally we stand a few feet in front of one of the registers waiting for her to say, "can I help you" before we move to. Instead the woman (to make it worse, I think she was the patio manager because she was older than the others and seemed to be doing more things than just working a register) gives us the, "I need you to wait in the line area over there" and points to a barrel with no indication that it's a line. You know like the old David Spade skit. This already left a bad taste in my mouth because again there was no line marked, no one waiting, and it's not like we got up in her space or were being pushy. She was just power tripping. To make it worse, we came here because they literally have "full bar" painted on the outside of the building, and the other places around are mostly wine bars or beer gardens. BUT (keep reading)... One of the young people working calls us from the "line of just us" to help us (because of course the other woman wasn't going to). They have 3 specialty margaritas listed. I ask if I can just get a "regular margarita". She says "no because they only sell pre-made drinks". Uh, what about the FULL BAR? Then we sit down. They have a few long picnic bench style tables. They all had a party at them but they were big so we asked a group if we could share the opposite end. The other customers were cool and had no problem with it. BUT... There were no napkins nor condiments. When our food arrived, it was mediocre. We left unhappy but didn't make a fuss. As we were leaving, the power tripping woman thanked us for coming as if she hadn't just been a total B to us for no reason.

    THE BEST FISH TACOS IN TOWN!!!…read more Walked into this little spot on a Sunday afternoon & was met by the coolest host, Fiona. As a first timer, she was able to suggest a few awesome options to me & I went ahead and ordered their fish tacos (2 to be exact) with chips & salsa. Not only was the fish crispy & fried to perfection, but the sauce, pickled onions and avocado were on point! Seriously, the best fish taco I've had in Santa Barbara. Also, not pictured is their chocolate chip cookie which was out of this world! They also have some great outdoor seating which is always a favorite. Great atmosphere, well kept & clean, and perfectly located. I would highly recommend this spot to any seafood lover! Their service is IMPECCABLE, food is divine & location is ideal. Can't get any better than this!

    Great food. Casual setting. Wallet-friendly…read more I love this place!. I've been here multiple times for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each visit is a great experience. Some of my favorite menu items include the Fish & Chips, Baja Fish Taco, Ty's Muffin and the French Toast Sticks. I'm also a big fan their sesame vinaigrette salad dressing and the house tartar sauce. To complement your meal they offer a selection of soft drinks, juice, coffee, beer, wine, cocktails and even soft serve ice cream! OTA's sister restaurant Brophy Bros. is one of my favorites but OTA is a great option if you're seeking something thats a bit more casual and economical. Pro-tip: Ask for a side of tartar sauce to dip your fries. So good!

    Over all these years, I have avoided the Funky Zone for various silly reasons. But for a while now,…read morewhen I visit my friend's auto repair shop downtown, he always gets Turkey Burgers from here. Always looking for places to have solo lunch, I finally ventured to FZ. There's no sign. I drove by several times and parked, determined to find it. It was next to Lama Dog. I ordered at the window from a very friendly and efficient staff member. I found a nice bar-height communal table inside a super cool restored warehouse with awesome indie music jamming, also surrounded by big screens and sporting events. I ordered a bottled Arnold Palmer from the bar, not realizing the bottled drinks are self-serve. Nevertheless, the bartender kindly got it for me along with a glass of ice. Now here's the best part: the very best Turkey Burger I have ever had--way better than any take-out before. It's topped with garlic aioli, avocado, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and crispy skinny onion rings, just perfect. I also ordered the fries with truffle and Parmesan--absolutely delicious, though a bit too flavorful, which overshadowed the turkey burger's flavor. I've tried both sweet and regular potato fries here, and they are excellent too. This place really hits the spot. Can't wait to come back.

    We stopped by Lama Dog for a drink and were very happy to find this little "nook" inside serving…read morefood. Perfect for grabbing a bite to go with your beer. Got their Lobster Mac & Cheese. Was enough for us to share between two. Creamy and cheesy, but could've used more lobster. Would've expected a better lobster to macaroni ratio with this one. Prices are a little steeper here. It was $25 for the Lobster mac & cheese, which I would've been more open to with a bit more fish in the dish. Plus, when I go to grab a beer, I'm not necessarily wanting to pay $20+ for a burger without fries. That being said, it's still a good spot to grab some food while drinking a beer at Lama Dog.
