Highly recommend for lunch, dinner, or happy hour! Not your typical Mexican spot -- elevated, creative, and so delicious. Santo Mezcal in Santa Barbara blew us away. Seafood-centric menu with a real mixology focus. The ribeye tacos were cooked perfectly, the Halibut Verde Ceviche was bright and fresh, and the salsas are next level. Drinks are super well-balanced, not too sweet. Nice, trendy, casual vibe. Worth a reservation -- it gets busy. This place was one of several great meals we've had in SB. Highly recommend!

We waited 10 more minutes then asked another waiter to call for him. He then showed up another 5 minutes after that. I ordered the $45 steak and Mole. I ordered medium rare. The steak turned out to be very thin so the medium rare order was barely cooked- there was no flavor. If I was a waiter and someone said medium rare, I would say "our restaurant serve a very thin piece of steak so you might want to go medium instead. But ye didn't say that and the steak was under cooked, the fat was still cold. The Anaheim pepper stuffed with cheese, the pepper was also under cooked. So t had a few grill marks, but the pepper was still a bit cold and too crunchy. The mole was very good. I wouldn't recommend this dish for anyone.

Corazon Cocina is a Mexican seafood restaurant located in the Santa Barbara Public Market in…read moredowntown Santa Barbara. It was featured on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list but started off as a pop-up. You get in line and order your food. Then you get a buzzer that rings when your food is ready. They have some dedicated seating for customers but you can sit anywhere in the public market. We got the al pastor ($6.95) and coliflor ($7.95) tacos. The sizes were bigger than normal but I thought they could've used a little salt and the al pastor was a little tough. The sal de mar ceviche ($23.95) could've used more salt and lime but it was still refreshing with the watermelon. For drinks both the passionfruit margarita ($21) and hibiscus margarita ($24) were good. You can ask for their three salsas of varying spice levels. The food and drinks were on the pricier side too but we didn't think the quality matched the price.

We ordered the #3 tacos and the #16 Especial Plate. The #16 was the standout: steak, melted cheese, and those hatch/pasilla chiles were an incredible combination. What I loved most was how much it felt like a true local institution. The line was full of people who clearly knew and loved the place. If you're passing through Santa Barbara and see a long line, don't turn around--get in it. It's worth the wait! Definitely recommend!

I started with a mocktail pina colada, which was yummy. It was creamy, refreshing and was a nice start to cooling off. They brought chips and salsa and I really enjoyed the green salsa, it was creaming and had substance. For my main dishes, I ordered the Pork Rib Mole Rojo, which was pork ribs served in a mole sauce. The mole was deep, smoky with a subtle sweet flavor that went really well with the pork. You can take it off the bone and put in on the tortilla that's provided and make a taco. I also tried the Pulpo Pesto, the grilled octopus with rice and pesto sauce. The octopus had a nice char and was cooked well, but I felt like it could have used a bit more seasoning to bring out the flavors. I thought the food was good and I enjoyed my experience here. I'd definitely come back to try some of the other dishes. It is a bit on the pricier side, but there are some really flavorful dishes worth checking out.

As soon as we walked in, the woman working the register seemed visibly annoyed that we had come in before closing and rolled her eyes at us. She immediately said, "Umm, we're closing, so you want to take it to go?" We were already planning on taking our food to go, so the attitude felt completely unnecessary. While we were waiting for our order, another customer walked up to ask her a question, and she continued staring down at her phone and completely ignored her. The woman actually had to say, "Excuse me?" just to get her attention. I completely understand wanting to wrap things up at the end of a shift, but if a business is still open, customers shouldn't be made to feel unwelcome for coming in during posted business hours. We specifically chose this place because of the great reviews, so this was a really disappointing first impression.
