The line always moves fast and the food comes out quickly too. What compelled me to write this review was because I had a delicious pescado a la diabla, which was a daily special. The fish was a huge portion -- a whole filet with a delicious spicy sauce, perfectly cooked and flaky. The rice and beans are always great, perfectly seasoned and cooked. I also had a passionfruit margarita which was big and well balanced. The salsa bar is very good; the habanero salsa is really tasty but their old version without cream was one of the best salsa I ever had and I'm so sad they don't offer it anymore. It was legitimately spicy. I always love coming here with my friends after a movie so we can discuss the flick over some great mexican food.

The inside has a classic Santa Barbara feel to it and is warm and inviting. They also have a very organized take-out system, and their online ordering is really easy and convenient. The guacamole is fresh and while it's a little pricey, the portion os generous. The steak nachos had toppings spread throughout the chips, not just sitting on top which has been my experience at some other restaurants. The quesabirria special is my go to dish here, the meat is so tender and flavorful!

My go to is the lengua and the tripas which they only have in Fridays and the weekend. There is always a huge line at lunch so get there early or off peak hours.

My total was about $16 without a drink, which as a student is a bit pricey. however I felt like I got good value and it seems like they get slow buisness. I don't prefer it to free birds in Isla Vista but I found it to be filling, cheaper, and with a salsa bar I really enjoy. Maybe I'll stop by before work another time!

That's what caught my eye and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I also loved the seasoned chips and fries. the portions were good, and the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. I had trouble with the bathroom because at first i was given the wrong code, but I wasn't sure if it was me or the code so I tried a few times until it locked me out, and then I was given the correct code but I was locked out and the employee said I had to wait a few minutes. I ended up just leaving because I wanted to get on to my next errand and I knew I could go there. Anyway, good food, polite and professional staff, clean restaurant, easy to find location, parking behind the restaurant, and fair prices. I would stop here again!
