    First time visiting SB Biergarten and this place absolutely delivered. Perfect spot to grab a cold…read morebeer, catch up with friends, go on a casual date, or even just enjoy a solo afternoon in Santa Barbara. The atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and full of good energy from the moment we walked in. I had the MadeWest Hazy on draft served in an ice-cold Pint, exactly what you want on a warm Santa Barbara day. My girlfriend had a great time, and the whole experience felt effortless and fun. One of the coolest parts of the visit was meeting Chris, a local who told us this is one of his favorite hangout spots and where he brings his dog Harlo. He gave us some awesome local recommendations and really added to the laid back community vibe that makes this place special. The bartenders and hosts were all attentive, friendly, and professional. You could genuinely tell the staff enjoys what they do, and that energy carries throughout the entire place. It's refreshing to see hospitality thriving like this in Santa Barbara. Definitely adding this to my regular stop whenever I'm in SB. Great drinks, great people, great atmosphere. Highly recommend. - Ian Lantz

    I came across Takitos 8oh5 after a night out with friends. There were quite a few street vendors…read moreoutside, but Takitos intrigued me because the owner, Erick, was so friendly. We asked Erick to add all the toppings and add bacon. He made us the most delicious hot dogs that tasted gourmet. Everything about this hotdog was elevated, from the thick cut bacon to the delicious sauces Erick drizzled on the dogs. I would highly recommend getting a hot dog from this pop-up if you see it around town. I didn't ask Erick if they catered, I assume they do, but I would even recommend hiring them for your next event...really good quality quick comfort food! I have to add, I think a lot of the bad reviews are from people who stumbled upon this pop-up very late at night and assumedly drunk, so I would take some of the reviews that are bashing this spot with a grain of salt! Give this spot a try and let them know what you think! Erick was encouraging me to give him constructive feedback if I wasn't completely satisfied with my order, a really good sign of a good business looking to please their customers!

    I absolutely love Takitos 8oh5! I've watched this business grow from the corner, to inside of a…read morenight club! The menu is delicious and original and everyday grows bigger and more delicious! My favorite are the miso/sweet potato takitos. And the homemade salsa and guac are deeeeliiisshhhh!! Perfect late night food, when you leave the club with the munchies. I wish he was open 24/7! I highly recommended Takitos 8oh5. If you haven't tried them yet, get your butt down to the Wildcat between 1 and 3 am and get you some homemade delicious food! Tell him Alisha sent you!

    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.
