Went last week, go each week we stay in Carp annually. Disappointed in the other three places we dined, seem to have gotten lazy. Food was excellent Service terrific and pleasant Margaritas are the best in town. read more

I went for lunch, and was happy to see they have a great deal for weekday lunch time. At this restaurant, you seat yourself. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to eat outside. I ordered the bean tostada, which came with rice and beans. It was a large portion, so I ate half and brought the other half home. Tables are also given complimentary chips and salsa. The staff was friendly and attentive. This was a great spot to have lunch at! read more

6 pm midweek with friends. Place gets busy but we were able to walk in. I ordered the pork chile verde burrito. It was huge, hot, and fantastic. I was so happy. I loved it!! The pork was plentiful and tender, the verde sauce was delicious. The red and the green salas were both good, but the green was absolutely the winner. This guy is hefty and runs about $20. Normal people would have leftovers, I did not. Service was good but a little slow on the return, it was busy. Great dinner. Support local! read more

Delgado's Mexican Restaurant - Birria Tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Carpinteria, California

I ordered the carne asada plate, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The best part of the meal was actually the rice and beans they were flavorful and well made. The restaurant itself was okay. It's your typical mom-and-pop Mexican restaurant nothing fancy, but comfortable enough for a casual meal. The grilled onion was undercooked and still hard, while the jalapeño was actually pretty good and had a nice level of spice. The biggest letdown was the carne asada. It had almost no seasoning and tasted only like plain beef. I even tried adding salt, but it didn't improve the flavor. I also requested the steak medium-well, but it came out closer to medium. The salsa served with the chips was another disappointment. It tasted like it came straight from a can rather than being made fresh. My husband ordered the chile relleno, and that wasn't what we expected either. Instead of the traditional chile relleno with a light egg batter, fried until golden, and topped with tomato sauce, it was simply a chile stuffed with cheese and meat. While it wasn't necessarily bad, it wasn't a traditional chile relleno. The service was okay, but it wasn't very attentive. We seated ourselves, placed our order, and after our food was delivered, no one checked back on us. When we were ready to leave, we had to flag someone down just to get the check. Being in California especially in the Santa Barbara area I expected much more from a Mexican restaurant. There is so much incredible Mexican food throughout the state that this meal fell below my expectations. The rice, beans, and jalapeño were the only highlights. Unfortunately, the main dishes lacked the seasoning and preparation I was hoping for, and I honestly feel I could have made a more flavorful meal at home. read more

Pretty dam good food and margaritas along with good service- gets busy and street parking is hard to find - but well worth it.

The food was mediocre as was the service. We ordered a couple of margaritas which were pretty good, one was a prickly pear and the other a Cadillac. The prickly pear was much tastier. We also shared some guacamole which was ok and queso fundido which, honestly, i would never order again. Delgados is located in a great spot and has a wide open patio, very welcoming. I may come back for drinks but not necessarily the food. read more

Food: Burrito Traditional EXCELLENT. A little $$ but I think worthwhile. Service: good but, we were two of four people in restaurant. It was early. Ambiance: okay not bad. read more

We are visiting close by and we're craving Mexican food. We found the food and service (Juan was our server) fantastic. We shared the fajitas and found it was plenty for the two of us. We enjoyed the family friendly atmosphere and will be back next time we are in town read more

I was spending the night in Carpinteria and Delgado's was just down the street of my lodging. Everything was just outstanding. First off, their Salsa is propably the best I've ever had. Secondly, I had the Clase Azul Plata Margarita (x3) and I was just amazing. All the services were on point and I must say that I've found a true gem in Carpinteria. If you are in the area, check them out. read more

What's amazing is everything! It was a fabulous day on Wednesday, and I decided to go because of recommendations on yelp. I ordered 2 chili relleno. My server Jay was so attentive. Jay gets kudos for smiling service while also serving a huge birthday party group. The atmosphere was fun, and I spoke to several of the party people, it was just fun as can be! The video of the restaurant from the beginning is fantastic! Thank you, Delgados read more

Staying in Carpinteria for a few days for work and this one was close to the Best Western. I thought I might try it since like all the other taco spots were closed at 7! Crazy. I wanted something a bit more healthy so I chose the shrimp enchiladas and asked the server to substitute the rice and beans for the caesar salad. Not bad! It was very good and the verde salsa was good. They also gave some chips and salsa and at first the salsa was a bit "tomato-y" like it came out of a can haha but I got used to it. So here is where I had the gripe, the server was great and he gave me the salad, but when I got the bill they charged me for the entire meal + the salad. But the server fixed that right up. I asked for a non itemized bill, and they said they would do it after I paid. But, apparently they didn't or couldn't do it. So that was my only gripe. I'd love to try this place out again the next time I go down for work! read more

I called in an order. Chille relleno burrito with carne asada. They did not even mention that the steak was a 10$ add on .....the burrito was super small too. Never eating there again. What a total rip off read more

The food is really good and the service is always amazing. Would definitely recommended

The place was hip and happening on a Friday night but they were very accommodating for a group of 11. We had to wait quite a while, which was to be expected. The service was amazing and attentive and the food was delicious. read more

We have a lot of great Mexican food choices in our area but this is one of the best - sometimes really busy and staff is often on the run but they are always good - the mango margaritas rock read more

Surprised to find some real good Mexican food. We loved it and will be back The Pasole was fabulous. The Carnitas were plentiful and delish. We will be back and have recommended you to local friends. The staff were friendly, and welcoming. read more

My wife and myself were just here for the weekend visiting from the Inland Empire, Corona to be exact, we decided to try out Delgado's Mexican Restaurant. We heard good things about this place, this was some of the best authentic Mexican food we've had in awhile.......... And the waitress Samantha was a sweetheart, she was so kind and friendly and gave us a brief history of the restaurant. Can't wait to come back and enjoy some more delicious food! read more

The good: Hostess and waitstaff were fantastic Solid chips and salsa, though a bit mild Food is good Sat relatively quickly The bad: Ignored by bartender after hostess let us know we could sit at bar and order a drink while we waited on table GLASS PITCHER IN ICE BOX One drink (beer) was much later than the other (marg). No heads up to switching keg or anything, salsa refill never arrived Maybe a shade pricey for the quality To sum up: If you're in the area and want Mexican food, it's fine. Plenty of history as they've been in business 75+ years. Friendly staff, family environment. Seems to be a neighborhood spot. Willing to chalk up a couple miscues to Saturday night service, but glass in ice is a no-go. Can find better value elsewhere read more

First time here! Service was amazing, food was amazing and authentic! Will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area again! Vibe was great! 100% recommend! read more

I made a special trip out to try the chicken hard shell tacos and they were great! Margaritas were good too! The place was very busy on a Wednesday early evening and they were under staffed but they tried their best to be attentive to all. It must mean all the food is very enjoyable here. read more

Service was great and the restaurant itself is beautiful. The food however was not the best. I ordered the combo plate with a chicken flauta and tamal. The tamal was incredibly dry that when you cut off a piece it just crumbled on the plate and did not taste very fresh. I know tamales are very laborious to make and don't expect them to be made to order, but these were not enjoyable. The flauta tasted good but the crispiness was ruined by the excessive bean broth that all the food was sitting in. It would be nice if the beans came in a separate bowl so the rest of the food doesn't get soggy. Loved the service, location and atmosphere, but the food was not my favorite. read more

You can always count on Delgado's! Great service, yummy food, wonderful casual atmosphere. Highly recommend enchiladas suizas. I visit Carp once or twice or a year and it's not a complete trip to Carp without a delicious meal at Delgado's! read more

Delgado's Mexican Restaurant - Jamaica margarita - Mexican Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Delgado's is a great Mexican food spot in the beach side town of Carpinteria. Lots of good margaritas and beer options. I went for the Delgado's grande margarita which was a great decision My wife had the flautas which she thoroughly enjoyed. However, I went with their house specialty, which was a trio of amazing sopes. Glad I asked about pork options since the menu only mentioned pork chile verde but they also had al pastor off menu which was incredible!! The masa of the sope was perfect!! Messy and welcomed. Definitely make a stop here if you get the chance. read more

The service was good and the place is beautiful! I imagine a lot of people come here for the alcohol and not the food. The food is atrocious. Calling it Mexican food is in insult to Mexico. Never again will I return here or recommend this place to anyone. read more

Fantastic food and service. All their peppers are grown locally on the owner's ranch -- I talked to the waiter about it for a bit. He was very knowledgable about the food and the restaurant! The food was perfect, portions were generous. Was trying to spend close to my company's food reimbursement limit on a work trip and didn't get remotely close at this place, but it was absolutely worth it! read more

What a way to spend a Sunday morning. The outdoor seating was just amazing and the service was spectacular. The food was even better! Very, very authentic Mexican food that was prepared exactly how it was asked for. To top it all off, they even added some whipped cream to my coffee with no hesitation. Will be coming back super soon. read more
