Reviews
I love Tri-tip, but here the chicken is so good that it is a cointoss on which I would choose! Which is why I usually get the combo option.
We recently discovered the burrito bowl! We go to the salsa bar and get Pico de Gallo, Original Salsa, Marinated Onions, and Limes...and add it all to the bowl.
It is a very large meal for 1 person, but we are both full if we share it! Our friend ate the whole thing by himself and was full 4 hours later!
Images below is what it looked like when we split it onto 2 plates. We also had Guacamole and added it to the plates.
I definitely recommend their Guacamole!
Also the burrito bowl comes with homemade tortilla chips! So good! Don't forget the salsa/ guacamole to dip in!
Food is great their is just a heavy set cashier that seems a little
Indifferent to me. Her tone of voice is a little stand offish and body language and I observed her with other custermers right after me which she was super friendly and animated with so it’s just me she appears to not like.
Been coming her 18 years
It's been a few times I've ordered 1/2 tri tip plate & have asked for Rare (red) if they don't understand but when it cost this much and u at least bring it back to show them it had char marks and over cooked didn't order beef jerky is disappointing that she wouldn't replace it. I presume I need to check all my food b4 I leave with any order
Run (don't walk), because the chicken IS all that! And...go straight to the chicken, don't need anything else.
Seriously...this restaurant has been recommended to me more than once, I'm so glad we came
This is a place that I forget about sometimes, but then when I have it, I ask myself why don't I come here more often? The food has the perfect balance between great taste and value. I would definitely get the combo burrito. It's the best thing on the menu. You can also get a piece meal, which is really good, especially if you're trying to eat healthy, but the burrito is the best way to go.
Very kind to first responders/medical staff, etc to offer free drinks. Food was amazing. My burrito was huge and it totally fell apart but that’s okay because it was so good. The chicken was flavorful as were the salsas. Decor was great too. If I’m ever back in Santa Barbara again, I’d love to come by again.
Absolutely loved this place. It's kind of like El Pollo Loco, but soooo much better. The chicken flavoring is much like I just mentioned, but with more flavor, juicy and plump. Their smoked meat was delicious as well. Definitely a place I would go back to if I'm ever in SB again.
Food is delicious here. Hubby had the chicken tri-tip burrito and I had the tri-tip quesadilla. Lots of flavor and the quality of the food for the price is great. Definitely coming back.
