Three stars is probably a tad on the generous side, but I liked Domingo's well enough. Good service, breakfast not fabulous but perfectly fine, and I liked the booths and the down-home atmosphere, although the decor seemed a little forced. Domingo's would probably grow on me if I lived in the area and went a couple more times. As it was, it was at least a nice counterpoint to Santa Barbara's uber-preciousness. read more

Me and my boyfriend went there twice, the brunch was soooo good, my favorite is hot chocolate! Definitely will back to there again

LOVE Domingo's! Such great atmosphere, customer service and the food is delicious!!

fire meal. great service. love the staff. mimosa options are all time. indoor aesthetic is exceptional. 5/5 stars

I love this place so much! My dad and I go here whenever we can and we always order the same thing: huevos rancheros. It's definitely the best thing on the menu, and I recommend it to anyone who comes here. The staff is so friendly and because we come so often, they have memorized our orders. The cafe has a homey vibe, and is the perfect place to come with family. This is one of my favorite breakfast restaurants in the area. I recommend trying it. read more

I didn't read any of the reviews so as not to be influenced on what to write. Domingo's is a local haunt so you won't find any tourists here. The food is prepared with fresh ingredients and very flavorful. The problem I have with this place is the portly male waiter that would not accommodate my order in any way. He wouldn't let me substitute pancakes for biscuits (which they had already stopped serving), didn't know if the kitchen still had breakfast potatoes, wouldn't let me order 2 pancakes instead of 3, wouldn't let me substitute potatoes for fruit and was just basically "bad news". I had been there the day before for breakfast and had ZERO problems with my pleasant and lovely waitress. All that aside, I recommend Domingo's because of the great food & fair prices. Domingo's is in Old Town Goleta and has yet to be overrun by "techies" and computer geeks, all locals here, I love it. I might go back, not sure. read more

Great breakfast! Chorizo scramble is fantastic and the kids menu was perfect for our 5 year old.

It is bizarre how few excellent breakfast houses there are in Santa Barbara. Domingos is my favorite place to get breakfast in Santa Barbara and I have lived here for almost 10 years. They make excellent egg and potato breakfasts and they have great Mexican lunches. The staff is always wonderful and their cupcakes could be in a high-end bakery in Beverly hills. read more

Looking for a decent cheap breakfast near Santa Barbara? Look no further. This place offers decent servings and prices. The atmosphere is homey and pretty charming. read more

My little 6 year tradition when I bring my car up from the south to be serviced-Nice staff. Free Wi-Fi. Breakfast burrito is always great! My empty iced tea glass is always refilled by the wonderful servers. Delightful place! read more

It's just a great solid spot. I'll come here for breakfast sometimes when my car is in the shop and hop on the wifi. Bacon, eggs, coffee and some toast, and some salsa to go with em, friendly staff. What more do you want? It's a mainstay for me. read more

My favorite breakfast place! They have wonderful customer service and yummy food. Highly recommended!

This is an amalgamation of three days worth of breakfasts. Can you tell we enjoyed the place? At dinner on Thursday night we asked our waitress for a recommendation for breakfast. We are so glad she recommended Domingo's Cafe! We ended up coming here three days in a row until leaving town again. The eggs were never overdone - scrambled was perfect, over easy was perfect. The bacon wasn't bad and the service was great. Pancakes were nothing special, the waffle wasn't good, so I'd just recommend the two egg breakfast. I had both the potatoes and the hash browns, both weren't too shabby, especially mixed with eggs over easy. The food was always filling and my 3 year old approved of her breakfasts each time. The prices were fair and my husband was even full - always a difficult prospect. We'd go again. It may not be the best food ever, but it was good, service was excellent and it was very kid-friendly. read more

Skeptical walking in but possibly the best breakfast my husband and I have ever had! The Santa Barbara omelet and joes goleta omelet were beyond amazing! So glad we ventured out of our resort (The Bacara) for a little local fare! read more

Went back. I still like the Mexi/Dinner fusion going on, but the price is up there, and the service is a bit lacking. Very nice serving staff, just not a lot of them. It's a seat yourself sign at the door, so you have to flag people for service. Again very nice staff, they really do care, they have a loyal local following. The food is good, but basic dinner/mexi food, it shouldn't take long to flips eggs and hashbrowns out. But it does take some time for them to get it out to you, the kitchen is probably small and under-staffed as well. Just can't support the large dinning room capacity. I want to give it the 4 stars, but just being honest with 3. read more

Service was very friendly. Lots of breakfast options, but food was just ok. Tortillas were flimsy and beans were a little dry from the heat lamp. Prices seemed a little high. read more

I am moving to the SB area so I decided to try this place based off of yelp reviews. The food was very flavorful and decent portions. The waiter and individual who sat us down were very abrupt and not polite whatsoever. I would recommend take-out considering the food was delicious but the service was sub-par as best. read more

You can't judge a book by its cover or a restaurant based on how it looks especially here. This place is the bomb. Hands down. Their pancakes are incredible. I'm serious. And their posole is bomb as well. The service was great and everyone was accommodating. I felt I was in a little town with all the locals. Must come back. read more

Food was brought to the table quickly and was served hot. Hottest food we have had while on the road for four days. Delicious food/prompt service. Highly recommend. read more

Came here with a group of friends based on the 4- star yelp reviews. There weren't many customers there when we first arrived. Unfortunately, the service was very slow and the food was below mediocre. To add to the slow service and low quality of food, we had to return 3 scramble orders because it didn't have any eggs. Our server did try and accommodate splitting the bills but it seemed you have added to more confusion. I wish I could give them a positive review but Domingo's just didn't merit more than a star. read more

I don't like giving bad reviews--especially when the restaurant has such nice service--but the food was subpar and overpriced. My blueberry pancakes were just regular pancakes with three blueberries placed on top; and they cost a dollar more. My egg order came wrong. Nobody in my party was satisfied. Overall, the food was probably below ihop standard--but actually more expensive. It is a cute little place, though. And to be fair, we only went for breakfast so I can't speak for the lunch or dinner menu. read more

We ordered take out breakfast during quarantine. I had the Denver omelette and they through in some spinach per my request which was nice. Hubs had the Chile relleno. I requested fruit instead of potato and it was a very nice selection of fruit. Very yummy. read more

This place had been on my list for a while, so I finally decided to try it today. The service was good and the atmosphere is very homey. I felt the food was alright though and not worth returning for. The french toast needed the maple syrup cause otherwise the toast itself was hard to eat and tasted like it had soaked in the egg too long. The enchilada omelette was okay. The best part about the dish was the hashbrowns. Those were great. read more

This is the place to go for casual breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Family run with great customer service. Good sized portions for a moderate price. The same or better quality and experience as other local go-to places without the long lines and the staff trying to move you along to reseat the table. read more

Great little place. The service was friendly and fast. The breakfast was delicious.

Excellent friendly service. I went for lunch, but their breakfast menu is impressive. Variety across the board from burgers and sandwiches to more Mexican dishes like tostadas. The tortilla soup was delicious and the food came out quickly. You get what you pay for, that's for sure! read more

Domingos is one of the hidden gems we found on our trip to Santa Barbra. The food was excellent we actually went back there twice while on our trip and it felt like we couldn't make a bad choice from the menu. Our waiter was Thomas and he had a great sense of humor and he out of his way to make us feel like family. That being said when you go bring your appetite and you won't be let down. We will be stopping in again when we are back that way. read more

Awesome cute small town feel place. Great food and service. Hot !! Maple syrup. I'll be back for sure.

Thomas and his lovely staff made this breakfast experience so welcoming and delicious! I felt like one of the family when Thomas brought my Belgian waffle to the table and I said, "it would be amazing if you had whipped cream and strawberries to top it off." Without hesitation, he took my plate and came back not a minute later with strawberries and whipped cream even though it wasn't on their menu! My wish was his command! Every staff member was so friendly and smiling. It was obvious that in this family-owned business, they truly love what they do. We were time crunched to get to the airport which was very close and they wasted no time in bringing our order to the table. If I lived in Goleta, I would be a frequent customer--just like the couple the staff were so happy to see and hugged the returning customers as if they were family. This is a special place and it's not just for their food. Their welcoming spirit was felt. Thank you my friends for everything this morning. ---your new friend from Mesa, AZ read more

Yum! We had the huevos rancheros and Joe's omelet and both were so delicious. The side of chorizo was amazing.

Nice home style dinner. Food is simple and consistent with a variety menu. Service was good and place is clean. If in need of a quick fix for eggs it's a solid spot. read more

This restaurant is yet another Robert Irvine sledge hammer special waiting to happen, but I love this place with great muchness (not a real word, I know, but that is how I feel so work with me). Domingo's is and is not your average breakfast joint. "What the hell does that mean?", you ask. The menu has all the usual suspects, pancakes, waffles, biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, etc. What makes this place great is that I can pretty much literally top a pancake with an enchilada of my choice if I really felt the urge or gorge on one of my favorite Mexican dishes, Machaca and it would all be solid, well prepared food. For the traditional Mexi-breakfast lovers, they also make a mean Menudo. Service is what you'd expect from the cast of Alice minus the sharp-tongued, hash slinging, disgruntled short order cook screaming at the servers. Not slow, not fast, not poor and not over enthusiastic, just a hard, middle of the road service atmosphere. Do not go here if you are looking for fancy. This is your tasty, multi cultural gut bombing, hangover curing, church crowd if you show up too late on a Sunday, blast from the breakfast past. read more

Domingos is a great option for Sunday Brunch! I love their breakfast menu. My family and I have stopped by in several occasions and never been disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I'm gonna start by saying this, I'm straight up Mexican. Not Hispanic, not Latino but full blooded Mexican, Home Depot Certified! Going to a restaurant with the word "cafe" in it, you would never expect some authentic Mexican dishes. I've tried so many different places and nothing compares to the Menudo here! Those who know about Menudo should know that if its not cleaned right it has a scent that's not pleasing. This place has the best Menudo I have ever tried. Whoever is in the back prepping it knows what the hell they're doing. Overall this place is worth it! That's gonna be my new spot on Sunday's, please believe it! read more

The guy who waited on us was funny and personable. He started our day off with a nice vibe! Had the egg, potato, cheese and sausage burrito which was huge (I could only eat half of it) and it was delicious. Put some mild salsa on top to give it more flavor too. My sister had the heuvos rancheros which she enjoyed. We are a bit particular about our Mexican rice but we gave the thumbs up on the rice that came with it. Good fresh b-fast for a decent price. They also have free wifi there if you think turning off your phone for a few minutes is the end of the world. If I was a local, I would prob consider getting my groggy non-morning ass up for breakfast more often. read more

Okay food for breakfast. Waitress, older woman with long hair with a bow in it, needs to get out of the service industry. Seriously rude. Asked for more creamer and she said "I only have 8 hands!" Our meal was peppered with uneccesary snide comments any time we made a request, like for more water, an unprovoked "I'm doing the best I can!" and more comments such as these followed. I realize we were a large group of 16, but we put no extra demands on her and were all on the same ticket. We were patient knowing it's difficult serving so many people at one table, but our patience was rewarded with rudeness. If you eat here, avoid her. read more

I had breakfast at Domingo's on a whim and was pleasantry surprised. Very clean, good food, and very friendly service. I'll definitely eat there again. read more

Had pancakes, bacon and eggs. The pancakes were way above average and the server was excellent. When in Goleta, I will be back.

One of the best diner experiences. The owner/host was awesome and super attentive. Even though chilaquiles wasn't on the specials menu that day, he asked the chef if he'd be willing to make it because "worst the chef can do is say no!" The chef even came out to ask if I liked my chilaquiles. I did. Super tasty. My husband had the chorizo scramble and said it was awesome. Seriously great diner. If I'm ever back in SB, I'll be sure to eat here! read more

From the outside, Domingo's Cafe looks a bit shady and the neighboring buildings don't help that image either. But when we walked in and saw that the place was completely filled with people, we were quite surprised and relieved. Guess we should have known better...30+ reviews with a 4-star rating don't lie. Anyways, our food was fairly priced and pretty good. I got a Breakfast Burrito with bacon, generously filled with egg. The inside of the restaurant does look very old with a bunch of old posters and table cloths, but I guess it's fine. Only thing that caused me to take off a star was the wait time. It looked like since they were so busy they couldn't get to everyone in a timely fashion to take our orders. They let you sit wherever that's open, so I assume that doesn't help. read more
