If you are craving some tacos/burritos then you won't be disappointed.

Admired the "Best of Northern Santa Barbara County" awards from several recent years while we perused the menu. An oyster cocktail (a dozen raw, shucked oysters in yummy gazpacho-like tomato and lime, cucumber and onion) $23.99. Fantastic! Also the Camarones Ensenada (house special bacon-wrapped shrimp)- plate, served with tasty refried beans and fluffy, spicy rice $24.99. The bacon wrapped shrimp were very fresh and wrapped so perfectly in an origami-like crispy bacon shell. I loved, loved those. On Sundays they make fresh corn tortillas right there in the dining room. The photo won't do them justice - they were heaven. A tasty fish taco ($6.99) to cleanse the palette, plus a great horchata ($3.99). We lingered and were so impressed by the warm and wonderful service. We saw one of their cocktails made with mint and need to go back soon to try it! The owner was at the register and he is so nice. The parking lot is a bit hectic but not agro. This restaurant is killing it! Will be back!

Food is excellent my husband ordered a steak and shrimp plate the steak was flavorful and cooked just the way he liked it. I tried a shrimp tostada and fish tacos those were tasty. My only complaint was that the taco gobernador was very spicy I enjoy spicy and can handle spicy but this was overpowering I had to put lemon and salt on it. The ambiance is great plenty of seating the inside hasn't changed it's nostalgic to me and reminds me of when I used to come here when I was younger. Definitely recommend here for Mexican seafood.

My family and I had this spot to go because it was a little too small and tight for my grandmother who is in a wheelchair. I was disappointed to hear that they were out of vegan pho and I've been craving pho on a gloomy day. They did still had the Vegan Vermicelli Bowl (Vietnamese noodle salad topped with tofu and a side of ginger sauce for $12.95). My non-vegan family had the #4 Pho Bo Vien (Beef meat ball for $14.95), #1 Pho Dac Biet (Thinly sliced beel, brisket, tripe, tendon, and beef meat ball for $16.95), #8 Al-Pho Combination Rice Plate Choose any 2 meats: Pork chop, Chicken, Short ribs for $19.95), and $14.95 #13 Bun Thit Heo Nuong Grilled pork for $14.95. For the pho, additional meat is $2.50, and rice/vermicelli plates for $3. Six piece Al Pho wings were $10.95. They are fried with peanuts and you can choose between two sauces: super spicy ghost chili sauce or hoisin sauce. The prices were affordable especially for the size of the dishes. The staff who took our order were nice and the people in the kitchen worked quick. There are restrooms in the back. They sold cute planters as well. Will be back if we are in the area.

Tonight was different...the meals all came out together and were served very properly.

In fact the food and service was so good that we asked if the chef could come out...he did...and we all gave him a standing ovation. The only downside is that I've lived in the area for a dozen years and have never been there...that will definitely change.

To start with despite the restaurant being literally empty, we had to wait for 10 minutes. Apparently they didn't plan properly in the server department. Once seated our server was pleasant and brought drinks and biscuits in short order then apparently forgot when we asked for more . I decided to order the Mariners Seafood Boil even though it was $51.00 because the menu picture looked great. However, what we received was in no way what was pictured on the menu. The lobster tail was about 2 inches long! I wish I'd thought to take a picture because it was so small it was almost laughable. Except it was costing me $51.00. The 6 snow crab legs were so small I couldn't get the meat out of them and the several shrimp were about the size of a thimble. I can't tell you how stupid I felt for forking over $51.00 for these tiny items swimming in a half inch of melted butter. This time I WILL NOT go back. I have to add the fact that my husband's fish sandwich and fries were really good according to him and mom's Mariner Seafood Boil had reasonably sized crab legs. Im still not going back.

The manager was very transparent about the all you can eat for a party of 1 with a kid. Had to pay half of an adult price for adult but kids would have been free if I had brought my wife. Food was solid. It seems like the beef items and steak were really good. Pork items were solid but not quite as good. I loved the new York steak. They didn't limit quantity on that steak. I had a 12oz steak to myself. Speciality steak was great as well. Spicy pork bulgohi was pre made and you didn't have to cook it. Never had that before. It's one of my favorite dishes and found it to be solid but not my favorite like it usually is. Service was great and efficient. Servers were friendly. This place definitely fits the need for an all you can eat Korean bbq place. Check it out.

The tostada was loaded and chopped shrimp, beans, lettuce, avocado and cotija cheese. I could have ate one and been full.
