    Delicious tacos!! They had a lot of seating too and there were a lot of customers going in and out

    Sopitos
    Maya M.

    Decided to stop here for an early dinner on Mother's Day! We all loved it here and the food was great! My mom ordered the sopitos that reminded her of the way my grandma made it. The girl that took our order was so sweet!! Great place in SB and we will be back soon. Lots of good seating options and very clean too :) (The salsa is super yummy too!)

    Torta Cubana
    Rusty D.

    One of the staples of Mexican food in Santa Barbara. Everything here is delicious! Staff is so nice! Picking up food from the restaurant is easy and if you want to eat there, lovely choice also. I love getting the Torta Cubana there because it's amazing! All the flavors are there and it's great every time. Their avocado salsa is one of my favorite salsas there is! It's got some kick to it! Don't hesitate to go here. Should be the first choice before any other place in town. We will be back!

    Burrito with shredded chicken (avocado not included)

    The employees here are so nice! The place is clean and open and the service is quick as well. I ordered the burrito and to my surprise, they had shredded chicken and I was elated. This burrito was so yummy and the perfect comfort food. Thank you!

    The chicharron gordita and asada taco.

    The food was so good. First time here and so happy I checked it out. You order at the counter, I chose an asada taco and a chicharron gordita. There's a salsa bar to help yourself. Very friendly and fast service. I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in town!

    This is a pretty authentic Mexican place. The flavor of the Spanish rice and the carne asada hit the spot. The burritos we ordered were delicious. The staff who helped us were friendly. I'm not too keen with the cleanliness of the place though. I'll probably go back for a pick-up and dine from home again. Mobile pay / Apple Pay is available.

    Nasty meat, big portions.

    SUS ASF. Weird cashier didn't give me my receipt until I asked for it. There was a totally RANDOM charge on there for $1.50 and only THEN did she let me know it was for LETTUCE. I think it's a scam and she is keeping the money. That behavior is super sus to me. She didn't let me know lettuce would be extra, let alone that much. It was only until I asked for the receipt that she let me know... SMH. The milanesa was disgusting. The asada is alright. The green salsa has this expired-fridge taste. The only positive thing I can say about this place is the cleanliness. It's relatively clean. I've been here a few times now and will definitely not be coming back. Time to look for a new spot for when we come down to SB.

    Los Agaves On De Lavina St. -- A Rare Review from Someone Who Hates Writing Reviews…read moreI spent 25 years owning a business. I know what good service looks like, and I know what entitled looks like. I never write reviews -- I watched Yelp destroy good people over bad nights, and I swore I'd stay out of it. Tonight changed that. I sat at the bar. It took the bartender over five minutes to acknowledge I existed. Another five to ten to deliver a Coke. I ordered dinner and waited forty minutes -- which I might have forgiven, except getting his attention was nearly impossible the entire night. No eye contact. Body language that made clear I was an inconvenience, not a guest. Every interaction felt like I was interrupting something more important. When I finally got him to check on my order, he went to the computer and discovered he'd never placed it. I walked out. I noticed the people around me weren't faring much better. The slowness wasn't just my experience -- it was the room. Los Agaves appears to be a popular place, and maybe on another night with another bartender it earns that reputation. But entitlement has a way of spreading when nobody checks it. I hope management is paying attention -- because a beautiful restaurant dies one invisible guest at a time.

    Back to table service! Yay!!!…read more Attractive and very clean restaurant with great service. Truly delicious Mexican food. I love pozole - Cc's rendition is top notch and comes with all the extras to put in the soup including avocado, chopped onion, a whole fried tortilla to break up into the broth and Mexican oregano (the small is more than enough for one hungry person or to share with two).Homemade chips come with a four salsa selection ranging substantially hot to a delicate tomatillo green. I tried my tablemate's tacos, all three varieties were very very good. I've had takeout from here, but it's really worth going in person because the food is nuanced and best when piping hot as it's made.

    Tourist trap, wouldn't come back …read more.. Location/Parking: located in a food hall with a bunch of other places to eat. I think there is a parking lot, but I ended up doing street parking about a three minute walk away since I couldn't find parking nearby. Service: workers were nice and friendly! Vibes: loud and busy since there are so many other establishments nearby. There are a lot of seats, so that shouldn't be too big of an issue. Food: I ordered the Sayulita Ceviche and my boyfriend got the El Cali burrito, but neither of us were impressed with our food. The ceviche was incredibly spicy (not surprised because of the habanero), but that was the only big flavor that I tasted. There wasn't enough acidity or freshness to the dish that I expect from ceviche. It was just very bland/spicy... The burrito was decent enough, but not for the price that we paid.

There was a line of people waiting. Took us a little over 30 minutes from getting in line, to ordering and receiving the food later. CASH ONLY. Their specials menu seems to change every day or so. We ordered a taco de hongo (sautéed mushrooms with epazote in a light cream sauce w/ 2 homemade corn tortillas), enchiladas de plaza (chicken breast, potato mushroom, red chile sauce, topped with cheese, chile pasilla strips, cream sauce, avocado and radish), a tamal norteño de puerco (pork tamal), #16 súper-rica especial (pork on 3 tortillas, a modelo, and a piña pepino agua fresca. All for around $63 without tip. They had a tomato salsa, salsa rojo, and salsa verde options. All were delicious. All of the food was excellent and super flavorful. I would say my favorite was definitely the tamal. So savory and the masa was the perfect texture. The pork tacos and mushroom taco were close behind, also delicious. The enchiladas were my least favorite. Still good but I just don't think I can be an enchiladas fan no matter how hard I try!! I just am not a fan of the texture of the tortillas when sauced up. Nevertheless, everything was finished up and nothing left behind. The agua fresca was also super good and refreshing. Very sweet and a little thick so we thinned it out a bit with some water. They have limited outdoor seating but a lot inside. A single bathroom right by the parking lot entrance. Nice and cute spot with hard workers. Would definitely come again!

We over ordered by 2-3 dishes and if you aren't starving I'd say 2 appetizers and 2 tapas is more than enough for any two people. Cocktails were great, service was highly attentive and considerate. As a Patatas Bravas enthusiast these were perfect, the sauce was more pepper forward than most which was a great touch. Jamon was delicious, but the bravas would have been great on their own. The croquettes with mushrooms were rich and filling, packing a whole lot of deliciousness into a small bite sized package. The prawns were lovely as well, but the Bravas stole the show. Next time I am coming back for just those and a couple of cocktails.

    This place is hyped as a date place…read more It's in a fancy location near the beach, nice patio. It is good food but overhyped IMO. $16 for patatas bravas is a bit on the silly end. lts also one of thoses places that defaults to 20% tip on the low end. I have no problem with paying a 20% tip but the service was poor on my visit. We gave one instructions/request that were just completely disregarded. Very little in terms of service other than attempts to upsell with more Tapas when we were done. Sorry, just being honest.
