Very good Mexican food with a great price. Service was also amazing. Highly recommend coming here if you want cracked Mexican food.

My husband and I came here recently and had a tasty meal. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, though I had fully intended to order something more authentic. 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! read more

Went for taco tuesday, tacos were delicious and all meats were included in the taco tuesday deal. Shrimp, fish, chile verde and pastor were standouts. Homemade corn tortillas, slightly thicker and great flavor and texture. Really great (hot!) salsa bar and escabeche. Service was friendly and quick. Skip the margarita and get a cold mexican beer. read more

I've been coming here for a while and every time it's 5 stars. They have daily specials, make tortillas from scratch, and a daily happy hour! I haven't posted a review cause I'm nervous that a bunch of people are going to storm this place and the prices are going to go up, but honestly I'd rather see this place thriving! Stop by and try a daily special, or their happy hour taco combo! read more

This is a great atmosphere for a mid day work lunch. I love all of the various meat options they offer which include cabeza and tripa! Gives me the impression that they are authentic cooks in the kitchen. It's very clean and neatly decorated. When we brought in our reservation of about 20 people they had all our tables nicely set with chips, salsa, napkins, etc. It felt well prepared. I got the taco combo (1 carnitas, 1 pollo, 1 pastor) with rice and beans and added guacamole and sour cream. All the meats were delicious and the soft corn tortillas fresh. I absolutely love the chip cup for the beans and the best part is that it's fresh! I've been to many places where the bean chip cup is not edible but this one was delicious and that's a big win to me. My one mistake was biting the pepper that came in the beans which lot my mouth on fire for 10 minutes. Do not recommend. They have great specials here each day, the service is great and the food is fresh. read more

Let me start that we wee a party of 11. Plenty of space, clean restrooms, clean tables and authentic Mexican food. HOMEMADE tortillas!!!! Tortas de milanesa, bistec de milanesa, sopes, flautas, tacos de asada, pastor, and shrimp were all delicious. They had a small selection of alcoholic beverages but the have beer, margaritas and topo chico drinks. When we visit my son at UCSB we can take him for good Mexican food. Service was good. 1 waitress but it wasn't very busy. read more

One of the best Mexican food in town, only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars it's cause they say they open at 8am Saturdays and sundays and sometimes they won't answer the phones or doors till 8:25. I'm just trying to get some breakfast read more

Thank you so much to the all the staff at both locations for help and extra care put into catering my mother's memorial services. You went above and beyond with the best carnitas that my mother's family from Mexico loved. If you need catering don't hesitate, call them. You've earned a loyal catering/overall customer. Muchisimas gracias para todo! read more

Best Mexican restaurant I've tasted in town! We were first served an absolutely delightful ceviche, followed by refreshing beef soup. The portions are very generous--I ended up taking half of my dish home. The atmosphere is also very relaxing and comfortable. read more

You know how when you take a bite of something delicious, you do a little wiggle, a little happy food dance? No, just me? Well, this place had me doing it. The service is also amazing and dog friendly! They had outstanding happy hour specials, a salsa bar, cold beer and tasty chips with the perfect amount of seasoning! I do have one complaint......I ran out of room to eat everything . I almost forgot, look how the beans were served! Sometimes, it's the little things, too. Please, if you bring your dogs, be sure they are well-behaved, groomed, and on a leash. Please don't ruin it for the rest of us. read more

We are on vacation and needed something close to our hotel. It was pouring rain but Los Altos was open and had easy parking. We got seated right away and our order was placed quickly. I love the salsa bar that you can get your own salsa from. I only knocked off 1 star because they didn't have any chips left. Other than that our food was excellent. I got enchiladas with mole and chicken and cheese with green sauce. Great service too. read more

Ordered Birria de Chivo and was not satisfied. The portions of beans and rice were disappointing. The birria consomé was very thick with jalapeños and peas?? I mostly got bones and fat in my bowl. Ceviche lacks flavor because not cooked in lime/lemon juice. Friends did enjoy the aguachiles. No AC, No ice in water. Average service. read more

My husband and I have visited this restaurant twice and both times we left exclaiming it was the best food in town. We have had fresh seafood, burritos, salad, rice and beans and chicken fajita. Can I just say the chicken was cooked so perfectly that it was flavorful and cut like butter. Amazing. The tortillas tasted homemade. The salsa bar has delicious options and even their water has cucumber and lime in it. We watch the other plates go by to other tables and it all looks delicious. They go above and beyond to prepare and serve exceptional food. I highly recommend eating here. read more

Highly recommend this place! Very good food, very good agua frescas. The service is also very good. They made a mistake on my takeout order and the kindest lady drove to my work to get me the right order which was over the top service! Definitely recommend their Birria queso tacos and their taco combo plate. read more

I've written a review of Los Altos before and my opinion isn't changing.The prices have gone up( of course) ,but the service and the food quality is still first rate.Weekdays they have a special Monday through Friday,a beer special everyday, Happy Hour weekdays.My favorite is their seafood especially the 4 ways they prepare Tilapia and Sea Bass.My wife loves the shrimp cocktail and saves the sauce to mix with vodka( lol).You really can't go wrong with anything here.On out last visit we had nachos which easily fed all 3 of us.If you like Micheladas they are epic.Listen to me don't miss this gem.youll thank me!!It looks like a little hole in the wall but the experience is collosal!! read more

We had Los Altos cater our party and it was fantastic. The restaurant set everything up so professionally and decorated well and everyone raved about the food! They were a delight to work with and it all was just a wonderful experience! read more

So few Mexican restaurants hand make their own corn tortillas, and when they do, it's magic. The food at this restaurant is so good that you MUST try it. Drop everything and run in here. So far I've had the pollo mole plate and chile verde plate. Both were so authentic, home style tasting and excellent. My wife had a huge and delicious bowl of pozole. I can't wait to go back. I've heard the seafood is good! The staff is very friendly. My only complaint is that the place is a bit cavernous and drafty. Maybe they could make it feel a bit warmer and more intimate at dinner. read more

This restaurant is close to where my co-workers and I work, and we eat here fairly often, some co-workers eat here once a week religiously, for Taco Tuesday & Burrito Wednesday! Occasionally there are days we have time to walk over and dine in and we've almost always had a pleasant experience. One day we didn't. Our orders were wrong and a a staff member was not very receptive. But! After speak with Ashley the manager, she was very understanding and apologetic. Rather than refund us, we decided to come back and dine in the restaurant. We have to say we were extremely pleased with the food and service. I was able to speak with Ashley today, and she remembered our conversation and took care of us. We were not only very happy with the food, but we were over the moon with the level of service we received. A big thanks to Ashley and to the rest of the staff. We appreciate you and we'll definitely keep coming back! read more

2-2-25 I went this morning to pick up a menudo the worst Menudo I have ever tasted paid extra to get a pata and tortillas very little meat dark awful taste will never go there again very disappointing read more

Shockingly legit. I forgot I wanted to visit this place after reading about it a year ago and just wandered in. Apparently they have seafood down. I got a fish taco, which was freaking incredible, not greasy, fresh tortilla. El Pastor taco, also great. Huarache plate... two kinds of meat. I figured that was a little bit of a gamble, but it turned out to be freaking excellent, not slimy, a perfect crunch, and perfect tanginess. Everything seemed really fresh, not too oily, really healthy. The Jamaica was great. Definitely coming back and bringing my parents. Legit. read more

Oh first off the service was quick and the food was amazing, place is very comfortable. Makes you feel at home

Ambiance and service is good. Loved the shrimp soup they served us. Shrimp diablas was spicy but good. Great and refreshing aguas frescas, they have a good portion too. Only critique I have is on the ceviche mixto. The flavor was just not there - maybe just a bad day. Overall good dining experience! I will be coming back on for their taco deals. read more

Only go if you have LOTS of time & patience to spare. My department of 11 people went there for lunch at 11:30am on a Thursday. No one was there, so we got seated right away. Took our drink & food order quickly. We patiently waited.. But oh boy.., when the clock struck 12... and there were more people coming in... Our food order came staggering out.. orders were mixed with other customers in restaurant. Half our group got their food & was finished by the time the rest of our group got their food. Waitress ignored our calls & we had to get up to flag them down. We also had to get up to get drinks refilled at the bar. One person in our group kept getting the wrong order/food that she just decided not to eat. At the end, the waitress blamed us & told us to "call ahead next time". The problem wasn't that we didn't "call ahead", the problem was they are very disorganized & need more staff! One of my coworker said he ate there when they first opened & said the service was exactly the same: slow & unorganized. Also: forget about phone or to-go orders.. you'll be waiting a long time if there's more than 5 people inside. And double check your food to make sure it's correct. Would I go back? No. Would I recommend? No. Food was good though (the 2 stars) but not worth the headache. read more

10/10 must try everything was very savory we had the caldo de res,botana and torta de asada every thing was delicious the horchata was very good aswell,the food taste like a lot of love was put into it if it that makes sense.The bathrooms are very clean,service is very speedy and friendly and attentive,definitely a must try and will be coming back. read more

The food itself was amazing. However the service was less than stellar. We ordered two enchiladas- one red and green. We got a mole one and a green one. To fix the problem the server asked if we wanted another one instead- this time she asked us again and we said "the Green was so good we will just a second one." She proceeded to bring out a red one. I also got a side of French fries that didn't appear. That being said it's clearly a new restaurant and it can take a while to find the right groove. The server should start writing stuff down tho. read more

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. A chicken burrito should have a good amount of chicken inside. It was a mostly rice burrito. Otherwise, service was good, and ambiance is old town Goleta. read more

This restaurant's food is simply delicious! You can see and taste the freshness of the food. I had a ceviche which is served with a salad (super fresh ingredients). My husband and I also had a garlic shrimp dish which was finger lickin' good! I haven't even mentioned the home made tortillas which were out of this world, something about the softness of the corn tortilla dough. Ashley, the server was amazing. Old fashion great customer service! Super attentive to our needs. She kept checking in on us to see if needed anything, we felt bad because we kept ordering things but she complied with a smile every time, the whole time! You have to try this place. It was so clean and the decor made it so inviting. We can't wait to come back. read more

Los Altos is a great addition to old Town Goleta. The food was deliciously well-prepared and served by friendly staff. The menu has a great variety of options to choose from. I'm looking forward to returning soon to try out some of their Pambazo Los Lagos and Molcajete Mariscos. They have a generous Happy Hour with refreshing drinks too. Welcome to the Goodland! read more

The Staff were very attentive and served us in the late hours of the evening without complaint. Dinning is open with booths and picnic like tables for larger groups. The food was awesome. I had steak fajita, Others had the chili Reno, chicken, fajita chips, and salsa guacamole. In a few split the large bowl of Molcajete San Miguel. All tortillas were homemade. (flour and corn) read more

I have been here twice and the food is amazing! We got the chorizos con huevo, French toast, and omelette plate and it was all good! The French toast was 10/10 so I recommend their breakfast. I have also tried the mariscos and michelada and they have been very good. The place was nice and clean especially the restrooms! The service was great as well. read more

Everything about the food at this restaurant is1st rate. I also have the best Michelada I've ever had. The service was very good, including a complementary shrimp soup, which was delicious. The only downside is the interior is the same as the previous restaurant. Not as comfortable as I would like, and I would suggest redoing it. Even so, that is not going to keep me from coming back again and again. I love this place. read more

This is a fantastic authentic Mexican spot. Usually I am hesitant when there is a very large menu but both the fish taco and the salsa verde enchiladas were fresh and incredible. The fish was cooked to perfection and not dried out at all, even though it wasn't fried! I can't wait to come back here to try more things on the menu! The service was fantastic as well. read more

Four for lunch today; two has chile verde burritos, one chile verde bowl, one camarones in garlic sauce. The latter two came with warm tortillas, rice and beans. The food was good, perhaps influenced by the cuisine of NW Mexico - Culiacan, Mazatlan, etc; not too spicy, I needed the Cholula, which they fortumately have on all the tables. Service was good, with Lupita giving us plenty of attention. The place is well-appointed and clean. Small parking lot to the rear, maybe twelve spaces, on H/C (taken by a monster truck with no disabled tag (A/H). Bottom line, good basic Mexican food on the mild side. Also, a good selection of mariscos - half-a-dozen shrimp dishes plus other seafood. Another plus for me was that they had Negra Modelo, my go-to with Mexican food. read more
