It's basically behind the Flir HQ and then the building to the left. The daily menu always changes with some set specials of the week.

You can look at the menu on their website and even download to pre-order. Rarely do I have to wait to place an order when I'm there.

While my daughter made a beeline for Subway, I took the more adventurous route and headed straight for The Root Burger a spot we definitely don't have back home. I ordered the Swiss Mushroom Burger, and let me tell you... wow. The melted cheese hugged every inch of that juicy patty, the mushrooms were perfectly sautéed, and the bun was soft enough to make you close your eyes for a second longer than you meant to. Truly a pleasant surprise in a college food court. I'd order it again without hesitation. The fries? Solid. Crispy enough to keep you reaching back in the bag. The wedged salad? Ehh... let's just say it wasn't the star of the show. Not terrible, but definitely something I could've skipped and been just as happy. Service was fast, kind, and efficient exactly what you want when you're wrangling kids on a school trip and trying to sneak in a good meal. All in all, The Root Burger delivered a tasty, satisfying experience. If you find yourself on the UCSB campus, go ahead and treat yourself. Your taste buds will thank you.

Everything on this menu is beach side American/California comfort food. I loveee their veggie grilled cheese sandwich and from the perfect amount of butter on each side of the warm toasted bread and the fact that it's on sourdough and has a nice chewy crunch and the American or velveeta cheese oozing with veggies mmmmmm. I hope they make another location. The location is inside a ucen center in the university eatery hall. You have to pay for parking and it's a bit of a walk but worth it.

This review is better late than never...I am honestly not much of a sandwich person, but this is…read moreabsolutely the best sandwich shop in town. Two weekends ago, we hosted a birthday party for my seven year old. We wanted to have sandwiches for these adults and these were an absolute hit. Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo because people ate it too fast to get a good one :) We ordered the turkey sub. The servings were so generously cut. Everything was so fresh and delicious from the lettuce to the bread. One mom came up to me and asked where the sandwich was from because she also said it was the best one she's ever had in town. We went to a birthday party a few weeks before where they also had a party sub and it was amazing as well. I heard several people complimenting that host as well. Thank you Valentino's for not just your delicious sandwiches but your friendly service both in person and on the phone (ordered via phone a few days before), your timeliness, and awesome staff! The subs are served on a large piece of wood which they ask you to bring back when finished. I brought it back right after the party because there were no leftovers LOL. They were so nice and friendly even then. Valentino's is the best! Can't wait to try more and order for other parties!

The pork was cooked to perfection: savory, juicy, and full of flavor and fat. The peppers were charred but not burnt. The melted cheese was plentiful. Combined with thin tortillas and sautéed onions and I can't even begin to fathom a better combination of satiating, mouth-watering ingredients. My wife's potato taquitos were also a hit, in addition to their house-made guac and chips and salsa. The ambience was lowkey for a cozy Wednesday afternoon, and the dining room is decorated with such colorful flare. Our server was incredibly sweet and gave us wonderful recommendations for our next visit, too! I genuinely wish I lived in Santa Barbara purely so I could go back and eat the adobado every day of my life. I'll be obsessing over those tacos until the moment get in my belly again. They legitimately reminded me what it feels like to be alive and how grateful I am to get to exist on this wandering space rock, in this moment in time. God bless Del Pueblo Café.

We had actually never been to the inside dining area until recently, and what a fun and festive spot. Thanks to Giselle, Victor, and Jackie for helping us maneuver through their extensive menu, and always with lots of good food suggestions. And whether you're there for their Breakfast Plates, Appetizers, Burritos, or Combination Plates, they also have delicious beverages for everyone. We also just went to try their Santa Barbara Independent Coffee Week offerings. And they were incredibly delicious. Definitely need to mention my favorites, Mi Plátano Canelo Latte and La Lucha Latte. This little slice of heaven is located in the Magnolia Shopping Center, across from Ralph's, and a couple doors down from Shalhoob's Magnolia.

The price was fair, especially considering it was a pretty big burrito. When I placed the order, the lady asked over the phone if I wanted to add beans. I said yes because I figured the beans would help keep the burrito from being too dry. Unfortunately, there ended up being so many beans that they completely overpowered everything else. I couldn't taste the egg at all, and I could barely taste the chorizo and potatoes. It honestly ended up tasting more like a bean burrito than papas con chorizo. For me, the food was probably a 1-star experience. On the positive side, the service was good, the order was ready quickly, the price was fair, and the burrito was a good size. I also liked that they had their different salsas available with little containers, so I could grab them without having to ask. Overall, I'd give the experience 3 stars. I would probably give them another try and order the papas con chorizo without the beans next time, because I'd like to see how it tastes when the ingredients aren't overpowered by the beans.
