Perhaps the best Mexican food in Santa Barbara when considering over all meal options. Amazing…read moreselection from the mouth watering tacos to the wickedly delicious Red Chicken Mole. Their Chicken soup is my go to when it's cold or someone is sick. The truck is to make sure you add a couple squeezes of lime slices in the soup. Not only delicious but a natural cure all. Another highlight that cannot be overlooked.... One of the best selections of Agua frescas in town. You're basically looking at 3 different options that are all delicious. I really can't pick a favorite, I'm just saying you gotta try one. The only thing that can be tricky is the parking. Be patient and try not to cross Milpas unless you're using a lighted crosswalk. Get in there and grab yourself some of the best Mexican food Santa Barbara has to offer. . Id add an extra Star if I could! .. There .

Was craving a burrito BAD after making the drive up to SB for the weekend. Tacos Popeye wasn't me…read morefirst choice, but I'm very glad that this is where I ended up. Tacos Pipeye makes a hefty burrito filled with basically whatever meat you can think of. I got the carnitas this time -- a tried and true favorite -- but next time I find myself in the area I'll have to try the pork belly burrito. Two friends also ordered the steak and barbacoa burritos and both also looked divine. Service was super quick and super friendly as well, they've got it down to a science at Tacos Pipeye.

They do get pretty busy, but I found that calling ahead while driving over is the move because the food is ready right when I arrive. My go-to is the homemade corn asada quesadilla, and it never disappoints. Their salsas are all good, but the red spicy salsa is definitely my favorite. I also have a pretty sensitive stomach when it comes to eating out, and this place has honestly never let me down. Big thank you to the Mena team for always serving great food and great service. Definitely one of my favorite late-night spots!

We ordered the burger week special- double stacked burger with cheese, Guac, and chopped jalapeños- I can't remember all the ingredients, but it sure was worth the wait. For the past 3 years of ordering this jalapeño burger, it has never been dry, but so juicy! This is the place to go to for great salsa too! So far my fave is the guacamole salsa. The asada burrito was great too- had to buy one for the road :) Thank you for the friendly service and the tasty burger!

Everything we tried was delicious and tasted authentic (I am a Honduran native). We ordered: -Pollo con Tajadas (fried chicken served over fried plantains, with pickled onions, shredded cabbage, chismol/ pico de gallo, and a mayonnaise-based sauce): the chicken was crispy and well seasoned, the mix of flavors from everything else on the plate was delicious. -Yuca con chicharrón (yucca, pork grinds, shredded cabbage, chismol/ pico de gallo, tomato sauce): also delicious and flavorful -Baleada sencilla (flour tortilla, refried beans, Honduran cheese and sour cream): a staple of the Honduran cuisine. Delicious! Service was great, the owner was very friendly and accommodating to our group. We will be back soon!

You order at the counter, grab your toppings at the side bar, and wait for your freshly made tacos to come out. They call your name when your food is ready. They also have a small fridge with canned drink options. The tacos were really good! I usually stick to carne asada, but they also offer cabeza, lengua, and cachete -- cuts that are more unique and harder to find, so definitely try those if you want something different. It definitely feels like a local favorite. The line can get long but it moves pretty quickly. I went on a Saturday afternoon and street parking was easy to find.

A small counter to take orders, a limited selection but very selection delivered. One section had the order station and the kitchen, and two more sections were for seating. They had a kind of sauce station, which was nice as each customer can customize per their preference. This place was buzzing with people even on a Thursday afternoon, can't imagine on weekends. We got 3 tacos, each being $3.49, very affordable, but extremely tasty. I personally preferred adobada which was delicious. Chicken fajitas were great too. Definitely recommend this place for a quick bite or a full fledged meal.

Tourist trap, wouldn't come back …read more.. Location/Parking: located in a food hall with a bunch of other places to eat. I think there is a parking lot, but I ended up doing street parking about a three minute walk away since I couldn't find parking nearby. Service: workers were nice and friendly! Vibes: loud and busy since there are so many other establishments nearby. There are a lot of seats, so that shouldn't be too big of an issue. Food: I ordered the Sayulita Ceviche and my boyfriend got the El Cali burrito, but neither of us were impressed with our food. The ceviche was incredibly spicy (not surprised because of the habanero), but that was the only big flavor that I tasted. There wasn't enough acidity or freshness to the dish that I expect from ceviche. It was just very bland/spicy... The burrito was decent enough, but not for the price that we paid.
