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

So there I was at the top of Milpas heading down and hungry…read more So many places to eat and many that I've enjoyed. It was just the unknown and instinct that I stopped here, Sofi's Hot Dogs. I asked her what's good, she said tacos and so, I got a burrito. Man and what a burrito! Asada, beans, cheese, cilantro and onions all wrapped in a giant flour tortilla. Both salsas had definite heat. Was wary of the alien green salsa...it was hot habanero for sure. So tasty on the burrito. No long line, no frills, authentic, friendly!

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 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!

Burger Week, "Birria" burger special, available week of February 19-25, 2026…read more We are long time customers of the (now closed) Goleta Mesa Burger. We had to try their "Birria". Delicious, juicy, flavor is totally on point! Don't miss this special, it's well worth the trouble getting in and out of the parking lot.

Super flavorful, cooked right, and not overcomplicated. Just a solid, satisfying bite every time. The birria burger with the dipping sauce was the standout though. Crispy edges, rich flavor, and that consommé on the side to dunk it in took it to another level. It gets messy but that is kind of the point. Had to add a side of sweet potato fries too. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and the perfect balance to all that burger action. They definitely showed up for Burger Week.
