A drunk Cucas breakfast at burrito hit all of college and now, five years later, can confirm it still hits. With an entire menu dedicated to breakfast burritos, you can't go wrong with any of them. Top it with the spicy red salsa and the tangy green for balance and this may just be the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. read more

I got the crispy tacos and they were delicious. They're literally the best bang for your buck. Topped with lettuce, guacamole and crème The lady at the counter was very nice and personable when taking my order. Restaurants was over all pretty clean. I'll be back for sure ! read more

Super Cucas - Three Hard Shell Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Isla Vista, California

I love this place the people are sooo nice and my favorite thing to get is the protein breakfast burrito it is so good.

We used Super Cucas to cater a birthday party. It was really easy to pick up at the restaurant. 2 meats, rice, beans, tortillas, 2 types of salsa and diced cilantro and onion. Quantities were great and we could have easily fed 5 more people than the amount we purchased for. This place is generous with their catering and the quality is top notch. We are definitely going to get food here again for catering! read more

Vegan taquitos were AMAZINGGG so filling for like 6$? love it ! However i wanted to venture out and try the vegan asada , i will for sure be sticking with the vegan chorizo . The asada was a very spongy and odd texture idk what they flavor or put on it but it's like super SOUR like picked but other than that still love my super cucas read more

The food is tasty and there is a salsa bar. 10% off after 10:00PM. Good value, not as crowded .

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! SPOKE TO THE MANAGER AND AN EMPLOYEE WHO WERE SO RUDE AND REFUSED TO LET ME SPEAK. I do not leave reviews but I had to leave a review here as this restaurant was nothing but disrespectful during our interaction. The manager did not hold his employees accountable for being disrespectful. The manager followed up with being disrespectful as well. read more

Not the best tasting food but it's really quite good for the price. My rec for pis the Al pastor super taco, the fries with meat, and the super nachos. Very fast and open late read more

The atmosphere was good, and the service is good. However, the food was pretty mid. I might come back one day to try something else and maybe change my review. read more

Food was...fine. Service was even worse. The lady at the register was extremely rude and passive-aggressive. Asked if the bathrooms had a code and she said "...yea". Had to actually ask for the code as she was about to dismiss me and move on to the next customer. She also brought out a sign that said "Bathrooms are for paying customers only." (which I was) so I don't understand her attitude about it. Later, she closed the bathrooms altogether--understandable it was getting late--but the problem was that there were people already in there and she almost blocked them from exiting by putting a LITERAL BENCH in front of the bathrooms entrance. Overall did not enjoy the experience and will not be returning. Noticed multiple other customers having this experience as well. read more

Amazing breakfast burritos. The best in the area. I bought these for my coworkers and they were extremely excited. This is a great locals spot. read more

Super Cucas is my take out go-to! Their protein breakfast burrito is so good and their mar y tierra menu options are delicious + super filling! I love the occasional green juice or jamaica agua fresca too. Service is usually super speedy. When I call in an order I can usually pick it up within 10 minutes. read more

I'm honestly disappointed with the service we received today. As regulars, we've always supported Super Cuca's, but the attitude from the male staff member during our recent visit was completely uncalled for. We used one of the water cups for salsa instead of taking five of the small plastic containers--which would've amounted to the same volume or more (actually confirmed). We even explained that it was a more eco-conscious and reasonable option. Instead of understanding or even politely declining, the staff member responded rudely, with unnecessary attitude, and proceeded to argue that "the rule is the rule" and that he "doesn't care, he's not going to reason with me"." It's not just about the policy--it's about how it was enforced with zero respect or hospitality. We weren't trying to break any rules; we were trying to be thoughtful. The way we were spoken to today was incredibly off-putting and left a sour taste, no pun intended. Super Cuca's might have decent food, but customer service matters--and today it was extremely subpar. Disappointed to be treated this way after being loyal customers. ** FOR THE RECORD WE ORDERED 2 BURRITOS AND QUESADILLA- WE ALSO ATE IN THE DINER** read more

this is the best burrito I've ever had. i went in November for my schools avid trip and i cant stop thinking about it. i live 5 hours away from my burrito. everytime im hungry all i can do is mourn my burrito. i want it so badly. genuinely all my friends hear is me complain about wanting this burrito. read more

Such yummy vegan options they have a whole menu with more than one thing ngl I get the rascals vegan number 2 like once every two weeks. Also drinks are amazing and food is ready fast. read more

Discovered Super Cuca's when I started studying at UCSB last year. Trying the place out in October of 2019, I was immediately impressed with the friendly service and the quality of their Green Breakfast Burrito ($8.29), which came with well seasoned potatoes, eggs, guacamole, broccoli, and spinach. A delicious, filling, and protein-rich breakfast (and I could only finish half.) I'm lactose intolerant, and the cashier taking my order as well as the cook were super helpful and easily accommodated me, using fresh eggs instead of ones scrambled with milk, and being sure to use oil on the griddle. After that, I came back for the vegan menu, which sadly isn't posted on their website but is printed up and lives by the register (and I posted a pic last year: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/super-cucas-isla-vista?select=I-sCPQNhJQPug1v0RGXvkg). The vegan chorizo burrito ($6.99) is so good! After having one in January 2020 just before pandemic madness began, I didn't visit Super Cuca's again until this morning, when a friend and I walked over and got burritos to eat on the beach. I'm very serious about my Covid-safety so my friend offered to go inside, picked up our burritos, and off we went to enjoy vegan chorizo on the beach. Just over a year later and it's as good as I remember - the soy chorizo blends perfectly with the mushrooms, spinach, and potatoes! Kind of missed eating in the shabby interior, which reminds me of so many taquerias I used to frequent growing up in San Francisco. But biting a burrito while waves crash on the beach, who can beat that? If you're not keen on the interior, just walk over to the beach. It's less than five minutes away. read more

We got our food very fast and the burrito was huge but it wasn't the best. It kind of lacked flavor in general. I really wanted to like this but it just was kind of bland. And one burrito was $16 so I would say it's very expensive for what it's worth. read more

Heard this place had great breakfast burritos and I was excited to try. Was pretty optimistic when I got there and they had all those awards on the wall. It was actually the worst breakfast burrito I've had in my life. Not sure how a restaurant could make a breakfast burrito actually tasteless. 0 flavor or anything. read more

Service is prompt - not friendly Good was good! Not the best but it's tasty Ambiance is chill - read more

I told a friend of mine I was heading to Isla Vista and she said you have to go to Super Cucas. I got one of their signature burritos and it was STRAIGHT FIRE!! I grew up in East San Jose and lived downtown there for 30 years so I know good authentic Mexican food. I liked Freebirds like everyone else back in my UCSB days, but it doesn't compete with Super Cucas. Their food has a depth of flavor, freshness and quality you can taste. Apparently, they have other locations so it seems like they have taken their more authentic flavorful food and not dumbed it down for the college kids. If you're driving through Santa Barbara or live locally, Stop in IV and get yourself some fantastic Mexican food at Super Cucas. read more

Made with real ingredients but flavorless like Taco Bell. If you are in the area and are hungry and desperate for a large portion of Mexican food, yes it would be an option to go to. Fortunately, the service was quick and we got our food out fast and hot. The ambience was ghetto read more

Just your average burrito. Ordered the super burrito and should've been the mid burrito because there was an ok amount of carne asada but it was bland af. Salsa saved the burrito but honestly should gone down the street. Service was quick and ambiance was chill. I'm only rating the burrito, not their other stuff. read more

Super Cucas - Mexican Near Me - Isla Vista, California

my only qualm with this place is every single time I have asked for extra cheese, whether it be in a breakfast burrito, or enchiladas, it's never included. I'm not expecting anything for free whatsoever, I ask for this expecting to pay for it but also expecting to receive it. I've brought it up multiple times but it's brushed off :/ I ordered over the phone for pickup today and the person ringing me up didn't charge me for it, I'm guessing because it wasn't written on the order ticket by the person taking the order, which also means the cooks don't see it because it isn't there on the ticket, which means it starts with the person taking the order. If it was a one-time mistake, okay fine, but it's every time, and it's the only reasonably priced Mexican restaurant within walking distance, and I don't have a vehicle, so if I want Mexican food without spending an arm and a leg or getting a Lyft or paying even more for delivery fees with Uber eat, this is the only option :( read more

Best burrito I've ever had!!! I'm 48 and I live in San Francisco. We don't have a shortage of burritos. I had the Mar y Tiara. Shrimp and carne asada. Janero was so quick to tell you what to get. The carne is soooo good. The veggies were so flavorful. Perfect placement of meats, shrimp and everything else. That you get a perfect bite everything me. We were sad to be finishing our burritos. Thinking we won't ever have the same burrito again when we go home. So I bought another one to go to savor for tonight. The food is made of pure love!!! The watermelon juice is also a must have. Overall great experience. Janero was also very friendly and made our experience memorable. read more

Fries with meat are FIRE, best asada fries in SB especially for the price. The portion is pretty generous and you get a ton of sour cream, guac, beans, cheese all the good stuff. Perfect portion for two people or one big hungry dude. The fries were so crispy and perfectly cooked, all the toppings were fresh and the asada was juicy. Breakfast burritos are good too but mine had undercooked potatoes, probably bad luck. The service is also fast; overall the food is excellent and reasonably priced for the area. To sum it up: fast, not expensive, great asada fries and burritos. read more

They did not put cheese on the nachos I ordered! This is insane! Half of Nachos are the cheese and they literally did not put it. Very disappointing the first time I got the nachos here they were great... no quality control sadly. Less than a table spoon of cheese on top but NONE on the actual chips. And there was part of a French fry in the nachos! (I did not order any French fries) read more

Super Cucas is really tasty and the portion sizes are so generous. They're also open late which is always great when you're in a college town. I love that they have a menu that offers every style of meat veganized (including soy pastor!) I'd love to try the vegan fries with meat (asada fries) and the breakfast burritos on my next visit. The portions are huge so I would recommend splitting or saving for 2 meals. read more

This place is amazing! Food is fresh and delicious and the staff is outstanding. The organization I work for had some confusion in placing an order for 30 burritos in advance and when I showed up they weren't ready. I was a little panicked, but Jenaro and the staff went right to, making them fresh from scratch and having me on the road in 15 minutes. Great food and great service read more

Flavorless, bland, dull, unexciting, overpriced, palette insulting garbage. I will never order from here again.

Affordable. Huge Portions. Great Salsa. Vegan Options. Inside A Bit Dirty. Stopped by this place while attending Freshman Orientation with our daughter. First impressions were that the place was quite dirty in the dining area. In a college town, I guess the rush on a Friday night can lead to such conditions. Ordered a 'Regular Veggie Burrito' with no cheese or sour cream, and I had quite the appetite after a day of walking around UC Santa Barbara. While we waited for our food, we partook in some chips (that were fresh made) and salsa from the salsa bar. The chips were great and so was the base salsa; smoky, flavorful and just the right spiciness. When the burrito arrived, I was shocked at how BIG it was, especially considering how it was the 'Regular' and not the 'Super' size. Anyways, it was flavorful, held together in the tortilla well, and was amazing when paired with the aforementioned salsa. For the value, this should be a student destination on those lonely, hungry nights! read more

kept me alive during my school years. I love cucas. Good service and great food. Can get overcrowded.

I'm so mad it took me over a year of being a student at UCSB to hear about this place (go ahead and judge me - I'm a grad student). What I really love about this place is how affordable their lunch items especially given how much food you get! I paid $5 for three chicken taquitos and a friend of mine paid $10 for two tacos thinking one wasn't enough, but she definitely was wrong! Super Cucas' has a variety of Mexican cuisine and I doubt you'll have trouble finding your favorite on the menu. In addition to being affordable and delicious, they also offer fresh squeezed juices for $5-8 (just as good and even better than some of the other bougie places in town). I've also heard amazing things about their breakfast menu, so I definitely plan to be back. read more

I came to Super Cucas because I was super hungry. This was our first time here but last time coming here! My husband and I were standing there and the cashier didn't even acknowledged us. He never said I'll be right with you or at least say hi but no! He was calling out orders and giving out the food that was being taken out. We still kept standing there and he never said anything. I felt invisible!! That's bad customer service. I work customer service on a daily and I never treat my customers that way! My husband and I decided to take our business elsewhere! Now I'm super Hangry! read more

Here's a competitor and alternative to the overcrowded Freebirds. Last time I checked they have better variety of meats and better prices than Freebirds. One tip I'd give is ask for no beans and rice and they can give you more meat than expected. The burritos are always a safe option, can't go wrong with it. Add more stuff at the solid salsa bar. My friend prefers the Meat and Fries which is like nachos but more interesting. With that in mind though, my personal favorite is the Tostada Bowl which comes with your choice of meat (Beef, Chicken, Pastor) and free guacamole. The reason why is because I love the tostada bowl itself has a really tasty mix of soft-while-fried texture that I can't find elsewhere in IV or any other Mexican restaurant in Santa Barbara County. If you're attending UCSB, give this place a go at least once in your tenure. read more
