    Yummy huraches carne asada
    Kelly K.

    Hit or miss. I went back for the huraches and was disappointed. Not like the first time I got them. The meat was actually cold like precooked and out of the fridge?!! Definitely not freshly cooked. And the corn cake also disappointed. Just when I thought I found a great place....

    a food truck parked in a parking lot

    O.M.G. How did I not hear of this place earlier? These tacos are probably the best I've had in SB. Seriously delicious. It's a truck in a parking lot that looks sketch. I went when it was lonely and just me. Ordered two asada and two al pastor. Very affordable! I love the spicy salsa they have. The asada is such a good cut and seasoned just right. So is the al pastor. I'm definitely coming back and bringing friends.

    Must eat while in SB, every time!!!! Today we're enjoying the 805 jalapeño wrapped burrito Asada burrito is the way to go; this spot is a food truck located inside a little square with many local businesses like a grocery store with all the drinks you may want Great to take togo to the beach or for a quick dinner Opens at 5:30 pm

    Al pastor and chicharron
    Connie C.

    I'm always looking for a good taco spot that has more than your standard al pastor and carne asada meats. Taqueria Mena had all my favorite options: lengua, tripa, and buche - all of which were delicious and cooked perfectly! They also had champurrado on the menu but sadly they were out when I arrived. The price point was a bit high for these tacos ($16 for 6 tacos) but they were generous on the meat portions. The truck located in the corner of a parking lot next to a laundromat and market.

    Cabeza burrito and mushroom quesadilla

    Very good! Got the mushroom quesadilla and what I thought I ordered was a torta but I got a burrito. I asked for spicy salsa. The quesadilla turned quite soggy but that's the nature of cooked mushrooms so it's not their fault. The veg inside was fresh and still crunchy. The burrito (cabeza) was delicious. The spicy salsa was also very good. Had a slight bite but nothing unreasonable. Portions were good. They're on the corner of San Andres and Micheltorena and park behind the Foodland grocery store. I went at 11pm and both the service and patrons were very nice. I will definitely go back.

    Ho. lee. Sheeeee…read more... The tacos came out naked, on paper plates, which was actually the taqueria experience I'd been looking for (it's Milpas, so, options...). Still, there's clearly a post-millennial, new generation vibe to the place, digital screen menus, slightly limited menu (no conventional chicken filling), 20-something brothers running the place, so I'd changed my expectations. For a second I was disappointed, before I remembered my original expectations. Then I got a good look at the house-made tortillas (pics posted). When I got to the salsa bar, I did another double take. Is that...? PEANUT salsa, bro. Spicy. Done, I'm done. I've got nothing else.

    Visited twice in one day -- that should tell you everything…read more I make a point of hitting up a different taco spot whenever I'm in Santa Barbara, and this trip I did both locations back to back: the diner on Milpas, then the food truck near the SB Bowl a few hours later. Standout was the rajas con queso -- genuinely one of the best versions I've had, and somehow even better from the truck than the diner. Also tried pastor, cabeza, carnitas, and shrimp, and every single one delivered. No weak link on the menu. What I appreciate about Pipeye is that it's not a tourist-line spot -- it's the kind of place locals actually recommend when you ask. I posed that exact question to a Mexican family, and after a beat of consideration, their answer was Tacos Pipeye. That tracked with everything I'd already experienced. If you're comparing SB taco spots -- La Super-Rica gets the tourist attention, but ask around and you'll hear El Bajío and Lilly's come up just as often among people who eat here regularly. Pipeye belongs in that conversation too, and for me, it's currently at the top. Diner and food truck both worth seeking out. Will be back next visit.

    This company is awful in business. We rented the pizza truck and we specifically ask for the black…read moretruck. I repeated and emphasized so many times that I only want the black truck. I paid in full 6 months in advance just to make sure that I will get the black truck for my wedding. Guess what they brought on my wedding day, The white truck that I did not like. No phone calls beforehand, no apologies. Melissa and her husband were crooks and I don't believe they have a black truck. They just show it on their website, but I think it's non existence. Very deceitful. If there is less than one star, that's what I would give them.

Not only was the pizza some of the best pizza I have every had (I am not kidding, multiple guests asked for their business card), but they were extremely professional, clean, and well organized. So many guests told me how surpisingly well oiled of a machine they were. If a pizza was almost out of slices, they already had another one less than 30 seconds away from being ready. On top of being great food and the fasts buffet I have ever experienced, their set up was beautiful! My family and friends were so worried when I said I was going to have pizza for my somewhat fancy wedding and every single one of them was blown away at how upscale they made pizza. 1000/10 would recommend
