    Asada fries

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Bacon burrito and coffee
    Miss I.

    We found this place on yelp as we were looking for a good breakfast burrito on our drive through SB. This place was sooo good, we got bacon burrito, chorizo burrito, and coffee. The burritos were delicious and hit the spot, they come with potatoes and peppers. We booked marked this spot.

The young lady up front was very welcoming and provided amazing service! This place has been so popular on social media and they are known for their matcha specials. If you follow them on instagram they post their daily specials and provide great updates of their inventory and wait times (a genius idea may I add). My personal favorites were the matcha einspanner and their strawberry matcha latte. For mochi donuts I especially enjoyed their lemon blueberry ricotta and brown butter turon specials. Inside they have nice seating and some stools but it gets very busy so the seating area can fill up. They also provide umbrellas if there is a long line and a hot sun outside.

We also tried the mochi donuts, mango cheesecake was good but Thai tea Oreo was weird. Ube muffin was decent but overpriced for the size. Wish we could've tried the brioche but they don't sell them until noon. Overall solid spot for matcha and pastries!
