    Adobada Taco
    Kelly K.

    One of the most expensive places for Mexican food in Santa Barbara, especially considering it is takeout only. Location is strange. I never would have found it just driving by. Saw reviews online and sought it out. A number of people were outside waiting for the orders. I placed an order quickly and opted to just order one taco to try their food for the first time. Got a pork taco. It was served on a paper plate with a few radish slices, two lemon wedges and a condiment container with very water green hot chile hot sauce. One tortilla. Flavor was good but I have had better. There was cilantro (no flavor) and the pork meat was fine but nothing special. It was better than anything other tacos I have had in the county...though pricier. Service was good though there is no place to dine here.

    Tucked away by tue airport this place a is gem. They have a variety of pan dulce to choose from as well as different Mexican breakfast and lunch options. They offer breakfast all day. They have you staple items such as tacos, burritos and tortas, as well as tamales. The tamales es silicosis and flavorful and not dry. The breakfast burrito was delicious but only complaint that more meat -protein is needed. Their pan concha delicious and have both smaller and bigger size options. The service is extremely friendly and personable. This place is small and more for order and quick pick up.

    This is the best hole in the wall Mexican place in Goleta, and possibly, the Santa Barbara area. The workers here are always so friendly. The prices are good, the portions are large, and the flavors are fire. The name isn't fully appropriate; while they have baked goods, it's the savory things that are the stars. Can't go wrong with their burritos or specials.

    Avocado egg and bacon burrito, it also has cheese with mild green salsa.

    I was looking for a place to eat.And I found this little bakery. I was not really familiar with the area, but I thought I'd give it a chance. I'm so glad I did, I order an avocado egg burrito she offered adding bacon. I accepted and asked for extra crispy bacon. I was tempted by the pastries because they looked delicious. I ordered champurado and three tamales. Everything is really good. Nice portions and good flavor. Salsa was perfect. It looked clean and they are very friendly as I was acknowledged immediately. They do have some signage on a stand outfront, showing daily specials that they offer. They also have coffee for sale, sodas and chips. So if you've never been to this little place give them a try.

    I came to this place, not knowing what to expect given that Mexican pan dulce is a hit or miss in California. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I bit into the soft, warm and buttery texture of each pan dulce I purchased. I was not disappointed. The service was actually really friendly and pleasant. The ambience is best described as traditional roots that satisfies the palettes of both the older/younger generation.

    Excellent service. A bit pricey but that's Santa Barbara. You would think they'd cater to the locals. This stuff is fresh, elevated and made authentically. I spent a lot of money to impress the office staff. I got burritos, tortas, tamales, bread and atole. Too bad it was soooooo spicy, we had difficulty eating. Even the most seasoned pro, regretted the red salsa. I'm a lightweight, I didn't think each item would be that spicy. I mean a torta, they soaked it with spice. I couldn't even pick it out. The best was the chorizo burrito, but maybe it's because it's the only thing we could taste. 0 for the spice. The things we could eat were very good. Watch out for this one.

    Enjoyed a wonderful lunch here today! Welcomed in by Ms. Juanita and Ms. Erica. So warm and gracious! This isn't just a bakery, but full breakfast and lunch items. I went with the trip tip sandwich, which was loaded with goodness!! Put this on your next lunch outing. Better yet, pick up a box of baked goods for your next family or work event!! Thank you ladies! Enjoyed the visit and delicious lunch!!

    Definitely a hole in the wall spot in Santa Barbara, especially since it's tucked away from other spots. The workers were so kind and convincing, got me to buy a lot more food than I need; but I do not regret it since everything was amazing. The horchata was like the cherry on top, I feel like it's a must with their burrito. Only downside is that I wish there was space to sit down and eat.

    While in Santa Barbara, we found this hidden gem in Goleta. They serve breakfast, lunch and have various Mexican baked items. The breakfast burritos are a good size and loaded with tasty goodness. We tried the Chorizo, Bacon, and the Machaca con Huevos breakfast burritos. You can go wrong with any, but I really enjoyed the Machaca burrito. We also got some concha bread that was very good as well. There are many more Mexican pastries to choose from. The staff and service was great. The bakery cafe doesn't have any seating inside and only a small bench outside, so mainly take out. Check this place out for some good eats! Happy Nom Nom!

Got lemon berry, red velvet, strawberry, peace cupcake, lemon, and a chocolate chip swirl cupcake. Me and my boyfriend both loved the lemon berry cupcake the most. It was a lemon cake filled with mixed berries, a lemon buttercream, and more berries on top! So so good! We were impressed that the cake was still moist despite being a day old! :) Overall, lovely spot and will definitely return! So good!

Personally, I'm partial to the Goleta location since it offers a small breakfast and lunch menu My go-tos are the Spring Greens Sandwich, Trout Toast, and the Farmer's Market Frittata, which always feels fresh and seasonal. I'm also mildly obsessed with their Olive Rosemary Focaccia and the jalapeño basil cashew spread. Honestly, I'd put that spread on just about anything. Service is counter style with friendly staff, and there's a beautiful glass case showcasing the day's dishes and fresh breads. I love a good visual moment when deciding what to order, and this place definitely delivers. Just note that popular items can sell out, so going earlier is better. Their bread menu changes depending on the season and produce availability, which keeps things interesting. You'll also find gluten-free options, sweets, and dry goods if you want to take a little something home. The patio is cute and sun-filled, perfect for lingering with coffee and a pastry. Parking is street parking only, but on weekdays there's usually ample neighborhood parking nearby. Just note they're closed Sundays and Mondays, so plan your carb pilgrimage accordingly.
