ONE OF MY FAVORITE SPOTS IN SB!!!…read more This place has been one of my favorites for years. My best friend and I come every time I'm in town & they are always on point from the service, to the amazing food & beautiful drinks! Monday night our server was very attentive, quick with water refills (which I love) and very pleasant. We also sat inside for the first time as we usually sit on the outdoor patio which is no longer in place, and I was happy with the indoor ambiance. We ordered a variety of our favorites - the some brie sauce, date with a pig, PB&J sliders as well as some new items - the shrimp tacos & veggie sliders (both were outstanding). I cannot recommend this place enough & I would eat here every night if I could!

This restaurant has multiple booth tables for two people tucked in the back facing the open kitchen. It would be nice on a date night. We got six tapas and one entree. Enough for four of us. My favorite is cauliflower, beet it salad, and that is my jam. The lamb rack has tasty mushroom risotto- can't stop eating it! City parking offered 75 minutes free parking.

The pulpo tacos are a MUST and I don't even usually like octopus. It has such a nice smoky grilled flavor and it doesn't have that chewy texture. Service is really great and friendly as well, and their outdoor patio is perfect people watching!

I LOVED this restaurant. I have never been to a sit down restaurant where the mains were empanadas…read more Love the concept! They also have sandwiches and pizzas but I went for the empanadas because I can never say no to a baked empanada. I got the 3 empanada combo (carne, pollo, and their daily special) and picked the side of chimi papas. I also got to try my friend's side of the arugula salad. Everything was so delicious! The dough was so soft and the fillings were so flavorful. I also liked that they gave us a side of chimichurri, as it was the perfect amount of added freshness. The potato's were perfectly crispy and the salad was so fresh. It was the perfect portion for me. I wish I lived in Santa Barbra because I would be a returning customer for sure.

The interior is fantastic with dark dramatic details and funky art and the menu items all have whimsical names like "Date with a Pig". The signature pig sculpture in the center of the dining room serves as the unofficial greeter. We came for happy hour and they offer several specials on cocktails and menu items. I Highly recommended the Holy Crop cocktail with Elderflower- I ordered something different and had to order a second drink because I had to have my own Holy Crop. Service is 5/5 with a warm welcoming greeting and attentive service. Food is 5/5 for Spanish-fusion tapas. Don't expect Madrid-style tapas but Alcazar puts a flavorful spin on all their dishes. I recommend the Date with the Pig, the Lamburgini Sliders and the Gritz and Glamb. I was a little disappointed in the Papas Bravos. I'd like to see the potatoes a little more crispy and the spice level on the sauce raised a bit. I'm giving the overall experience a 5/5 because I appreciate the creativity in all the elements and the unique flavor profiles will keep me coming back.

We started with Bruschetta, being careful to use the proper Italian pronunciation since our host had recently traveled to Rome to pick up his daughter from a student exchange program. We then split the kale salad and the charcuterie/cheese plate. My daughter said she hated kale, but this salad converted her. It was good, but even better would have been to use baby kale. Being a beer aficionado, I appreciated the eight choices they had on draft. Being from South Texas, I may never find my way again, but for sure I can recommend it for its good food and welcoming atmosphere.

Get your ass over here now. I'm obsessed with birria and pretty much order them whenever I can, but beware not all birria is created equal! You're looking for a flavorful consume to dip the tacos in, cheese that pulls apart when you take a bite, and of course tender juicy birria! This place hits all those boxes AND the service was super fast and extremely friendly! A man greeted us as we were looking at the sign and gave great recommendations. We got the Yona special which is 3 queso tacos with your choice of meats and consumé to dip them in. You can choose 2 different ones. We got birria, pastor, and asada. All were great, but birria will always be king! He also offered us complimentary chips and there's a salsa bar. Overall 10/10 would absolutely return and suggest you stop reading and go check them out!

We shared the focaccia bread with their balsamic garlic sauce and their yoga pants salad. The bread was so fluffy and soft with a nice little crunch to the edge - loved their dipping sauce too. The salad was so fresh with beets, snap peas, sweet potatoes and other fresh vegetables. Loved how clean yet flavorful the food was. Will definitely come again. The staff was super friendly too.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the best experience here as I imagined it to be. I stopped by on a…read morewarm day and wanted to enjoy a Spritz. I walked in and spoke with the guy working the bar area. I wasn't sure if I had to order my drink there or if there was table service. He said he could take my order and then I could go find a table to sit at. I placed my order for a Spritz and found a table outside. It seemed like 15 minutes had passed by and still no drink. He tended to another table in front of me with a group of women he knew. I thought he would stop by my table after, but he didn't even acknowledge me. Finally, another staff member tended to me and I told her I had placed my order at the bar and was still waiting for it. She was very kind and quickly got it for me. My observation of this guy, was that he acknowledged everyone around me but for some reason never acknowledged me until my bill was ready. Such a bizarre experience! In any case, I still managed to enjoy myself and was glad the Eva waited on me. She was very kind and I appreciate her getting my drink and food in a timely manner. I ordered the Spanish cheese plate, which was the perfect snacking board. It comes with manchego, membrillo, corn nuts, cornichon, quince, strawberries, focaccia, and charcoal sourdough bread. This plate is great for two people. Overall, a not so great experience, but grateful that Eva came to the rescue! It left me unsure of whether I would come back, only time will tell.
