I thought, if it's good enough for their chefs, it's good enough or me. The fish is excellent, the prices are reasonable and the guys are all very nice and helpful.

They have unique fruit and dairy popsicles, regular scoop ice cream, mangonadas, fruit cups, smoothies, and more. I mainly came in for some ice cream, but their produce prices are very good right now, so I will definitely be back to take advantage of that. The meat choices are endless from chicken, beef, pork, chorizo, longaniza, Cornish game hens, fajitas, and much more! There's plenty of fresh seafood to choose from as well as pre-made ceviches and aguachiles. They also have pre-made salsas that looked really good, and homemade flour tortillas. Parking is very limited here so you're better off parking on the street. Overall, a cute little market that I will definitely be shopping at for fresh produce and meats.

Thanks to server Lupita who was very friendly and helpful. One of the highlights is their two different Ceviches. Either shrimp and/or white fish, both are spicy and delicious. Conveniently located on Montecito Street, right next to Rudy's Mexican Food, across the street from Santa Cruz Market, a block from Brewhouse, and around the corner from Lavender Inn, Brisas del Mar, and Inn by the Harbor.

And you can even "build your own" Sandwich if the mood strikes you. For their BBQ Plates we've been big fans of their Chicken Plates, any of their Tri-Tip Plates, or simply going for it all with their Combo Plate. And any and all of their sides are pretty tasty. Depending on your mood, the salads of Macaroni, Potato, or Cole Slaw are very good. And their fresh meat selections are all good. Rib Eye, New York Steaks, Chuck Roast, Beef Brisket, Pork Ribs, and Stuffed Chicken Breasts. And now with Summer here, this is THE place to get your BBQ Meats. And you need to check out their Catering Menu. Lots of specialty plates for special occasions, and I am looking forward to getting their Holiday Offerings. Look for their trucks in the parking lot, which is on Calle Real, and is the same lot as Dune Coffee and Bowlero Santa Barbara.

We each got a sandwich and small side. My husband said his Italian sandwich was a B+ and coleslaw was ok. My Ruben sandwich was also a solid B+. Personally, i didn't enjoy how thick the pork was but I'm sure others would be into it. The potato salad didn't do it for me and I recommend getting chips as a side. There is a lot of seasoned and marinated meat to choose from. I want to go back and buy some for a bbq this summer.

He saw me, continued to walk away and put away boxes then when the white customers came, he immediately went to attend to them. Also there was a female staff with curly long brunet hair who made me feel like she thought I was going to seal while I kept walking between isles because it's my first time here. Monitoring robot with camera was following me around too. After spending nearly $200 here I felt this place was: Prejudice Very deprecating Very unprofessional We cannot change your character, but I can make you see how cruel your hate is

I've tried many spots and even a place like the Lure Fish house can't compare. Theirs is honestly flavorless compared to Santa Cruz market.. Their guac is also delicious! I come by here regularly to shop for pho spices individually, and a couple staples like cilantro, green onion, and limes. The only thing they don't have is cardamom but I visit Oriental Market for that. Also their bean sprouts are the best in the local area. I've checked sprouts, Ralph's, and even Oriental but they always are watery.. i think they don't store them right or receive the shipment properly. Santa Cruz has the best ones but you'll have to come when they are fresh! They are the best local Mexican market in Goleta imo!

This results in a very clean store, with all the quality goods you are looking for, and prices that are a bit high. They have an excellent bakery, tied to the Renaud's next door, great cheeses and meats, and a fantastic wine selection. It's also easy to get in and out once you find a parking spot and the self check out is always open because of the excellent booze selection and older people's inherent fear of technology. I don't shop here much, but if Trader Joe's doesn't have something it's on my way home and this parking lot is actually navigable, so I'll come through. I also come here if I'm trying to impress my friends with a fancy dessert or cut of meat.

I love that they introduce so much grilled veggies to the recipes, that's rich & original. Mexican food isn't just meat. Sometimes, all the original ingredients are cast away & all you get is meat but not here. They know what they're doing. Everything on the menu is on point & well priced. I like to preorder, they're always quite FYI the cucas on the Mesa & IV are not the same, I'll only go to Micheltorena because the portions seem larger & there is more variety & ingredients.
