Chicken wet burrito
Luiza M.

Stumbled upon this place before going to a show at the Bowl, do not let the unassuming front keep you from going here, the food absolutely slapped and the service was excellent! As soon as I stepped foot inside I knew it was going to be delicious, they have an extensive menu of food and only serve beers and micheladas for alcohol. The service was so fast and attentive, such a good somewhat hidden gem in SB!

One of the famously hidden gems in Santa Barbara!!! Breast neighborhood Mexican restaurant, with the best food & price!!! It's not employees or stuff members, it's genuine people that will make you feel at peace and comfortable, just at abulitas home!

Service was little slow because they were busy. My friend and I still enjoyed our meal. The aguachiles were kinda spicy but the good kind, runny nose and flavor burning your tongue. The ceviche tostada portion was so big and filling! Great vibes and yummy food!

Green Chicken Enchilada and Red Chile Rellano
Sophia T.

Best Aguachiles in town! They are so sweet and spicy and the shrimp tastes so fresh! It just melts in your mouth like butter. Their green chicken enchiladas are amazing. And if you're drinking here you HAVE to get the micheladas. They are so giant and delicious.

Combo ceviche plate! The best in town!
Abbey F.

I was in the mood for the best ceviche in town so I had to go to Cesar's Place on Milpas. Very delicious and such a large portion!! I chose the combo option that came with fish, shrimp and octopus. All for $13! Such a deal for that amount I got. My husband got the carne asada plate which was also very generous. He enjoyed every bite! He assumed the green peppers were bell peppers but they're actually jalapeños! With seeds! Very spicy so beware. But also very delicious. It's just nice to know in advance. Yikes! Both dishes came with a side of chips and salsa (even for takeout which was awesome!) I love the salsa! It's very thin with seeds which makes me think it'll be very spicy, but it was actually a medium spiciness and really great flavor! A wonderful dinner to start my 5 day weekend. Yum!

Aguachile was so delicious!!!
Brit L.

The michelada's are so bomb !!! We also had the aguachile it was so so good Come try it yourself Found it on Yelp and can't wait to come back and try more things on the Menu Will be back thank you !!!!

By far the best micheladas in town!

Very bland carne asada. I've had better. I won't be back. However, the staff was friendly and the service was prompt. Very clean inside.

Went for breakfast. Had a coctel and michelada. Great michelada and pretty good coctel. Perfect to cure a hangover.

Cesar's is the best place to go for a michelada and seafood. A local favorite with great service and delicious food.

Absolutely best Mexican food I have tried in USA. Their Salsa options are amazing and food was…read moreabsolutely delicious. Ambience is pretty cool and they have outdoor seating as well. Service is great. 100% recommend it when you are in the town.

Los Agaves On De Lavina St. -- A Rare Review from Someone Who Hates Writing Reviews…read moreI spent 25 years owning a business. I know what good service looks like, and I know what entitled looks like. I never write reviews -- I watched Yelp destroy good people over bad nights, and I swore I'd stay out of it. Tonight changed that. I sat at the bar. It took the bartender over five minutes to acknowledge I existed. Another five to ten to deliver a Coke. I ordered dinner and waited forty minutes -- which I might have forgiven, except getting his attention was nearly impossible the entire night. No eye contact. Body language that made clear I was an inconvenience, not a guest. Every interaction felt like I was interrupting something more important. When I finally got him to check on my order, he went to the computer and discovered he'd never placed it. I walked out. I noticed the people around me weren't faring much better. The slowness wasn't just my experience -- it was the room. Los Agaves appears to be a popular place, and maybe on another night with another bartender it earns that reputation. But entitlement has a way of spreading when nobody checks it. I hope management is paying attention -- because a beautiful restaurant dies one invisible guest at a time.

Get the special (adobada, peppers, cheese), it is spectacular. That's all I tried though. Prices…read moreare reasonable. Be sure to order what you need because the line gets long and you don't want to get back in it if you didn't order enough beers. Bring cash. I didn't realize how hard it was to find a cash machine in SB. I found more bitcoin atms than cash atms which is wild. I stayed at a hotel near state st and walked back from here and it only took about 30 min, but I would recommend driving or taking a $6 uber.

Came here on a Saturday around 2 pm. We were planning to go to Los Agaves just a block away but…read morethey happened to be closed. Parking was very easy on the street and free. There was a line of people waiting. Took us a little over 30 minutes from getting in line, to ordering and receiving the food later. CASH ONLY. Their specials menu seems to change every day or so. We ordered a taco de hongo (sautéed mushrooms with epazote in a light cream sauce w/ 2 homemade corn tortillas), enchiladas de plaza (chicken breast, potato mushroom, red chile sauce, topped with cheese, chile pasilla strips, cream sauce, avocado and radish), a tamal norteño de puerco (pork tamal), #16 súper-rica especial (pork on 3 tortillas, a modelo, and a piña pepino agua fresca. All for around $63 without tip. They had a tomato salsa, salsa rojo, and salsa verde options. All were delicious. All of the food was excellent and super flavorful. I would say my favorite was definitely the tamal. So savory and the masa was the perfect texture. The pork tacos and mushroom taco were close behind, also delicious. The enchiladas were my least favorite. Still good but I just don't think I can be an enchiladas fan no matter how hard I try!! I just am not a fan of the texture of the tortillas when sauced up. Nevertheless, everything was finished up and nothing left behind. The agua fresca was also super good and refreshing. Very sweet and a little thick so we thinned it out a bit with some water. They have limited outdoor seating but a lot inside. A single bathroom right by the parking lot entrance. Nice and cute spot with hard workers. Would definitely come again!

Excellent higher-end Tapas restaurant well worth a visit. Be warned, the serving size is…read moresignificantly more generous than you would expect from tapas. We over ordered by 2-3 dishes and if you aren't starving I'd say 2 appetizers and 2 tapas is more than enough for any two people. Cocktails were great, service was highly attentive and considerate. As a Patatas Bravas enthusiast these were perfect, the sauce was more pepper forward than most which was a great touch. Jamon was delicious, but the bravas would have been great on their own. The croquettes with mushrooms were rich and filling, packing a whole lot of deliciousness into a small bite sized package. The prawns were lovely as well, but the Bravas stole the show. Next time I am coming back for just those and a couple of cocktails.

This place is hyped as a date place…read more It's in a fancy location near the beach, nice patio. It is good food but overhyped IMO. $16 for patatas bravas is a bit on the silly end. lts also one of thoses places that defaults to 20% tip on the low end. I have no problem with paying a 20% tip but the service was poor on my visit. We gave one instructions/request that were just completely disregarded. Very little in terms of service other than attempts to upsell with more Tapas when we were done. Sorry, just being honest.
