Not much was open which is how we ended up here. The place was super hot so we decided to order our food to go and there was a super annoying drunk guy ahead of us in line. I felt bad for the 17 yo employee stuck interacting with them. We ordered a sandwich with shrimp in it. L said it was good but the title shouldn't mention shrimp as they were super teeny tiny and basically non existent. I got the gluten free fried rice bowl with chicken spicy. It was not spicy at all, and the chicken was a bit dry, however I could taste the flavor of the chicken and the meal was bland enough that I knew I would be okay. Earlier in the day before the bowl we went to a winery and I had a headache, so this food for me last night worked especially since we picked it up to go and had it at our Air BnB.

I'm not big into like the scenery but it's inviting. it's easy to get to, tons of parking, and near an ice cream joint. also it's a new business so I can't rag on it too hard. I got the smash burger and rings and it's a solid 7/10 to 7.6/10

This place is certainly better than the previous restaurant that was at this spot. It's only been…read moreopen for about 2 months but seems to be on the right track. Price is extremely fair and quality of food has been good so far. There's nothing over $18 on the menu at the moment. It has some great deals on tacos. Baja Fish Taco was excellent. Just $6 for one, or $11 for two. It comes with corn tortilla, spicy slaw, avocado, and salsa on the side. Poke Tacos were also excellent. Think the use of fried wontons as taco shells is a clever idea. They come with wasabi aioli and sesame seeds. They are on the smaller side so come in 2 for $9 or 3 for $12. Even thought the kids meals were pretty good. My kids got Bennett's Mac & Cheese and Chicken Tenders (5 pieces). They came with sides (chose sweet potato fries) and Honest Kids juice box. Mac & Cheese was good without being too heavy or oily, and chicken tenders were nice and crispy. The sweet potatoes were excellent. Ordered some mocktails which were good and refreshing. We got Passionate (passionfruit syrup, lime juice, soda) and Lily's Mule (ginger beer, lime juice, mint, soda). I plan to come back one more time with my family before heading back home on our last summer vacation.

**An Unforgettable Anniversary at Barbareno!**…read more Wow, what a night! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Barbareno, and it was nothing short of spectacular. He had reserved a table weeks in advance, and even though we ran a few minutes late due to the fiesta madness and Uber challenges, the staff was incredibly kind and understanding. Seriously, they turned what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth entry! Our server, Sierra, was an absolute gem--probably the best server I've encountered in ages! She kicked off the evening by walking us through the menu and setting the tone for our culinary adventure. Talk about being in good hands! To toast our special day, she even surprised us with complimentary champagne. Cheers to that! Now, let's dive into the food! We started with the **bread and butter**--trust me, don't skip it! Next up was the **bacon date preserve**, which was nothing short of incredible. Then came the acorn tagliatelle, made with wild mushrooms and acorn flour. I've never tasted anything quite like it! Unique and delicious! But the real star of the show was the **Santa Maria barbecue tri-tip**. Juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor--it's hands down the best tri-tip I've ever had. I'm still dreaming about it! To wrap up our meal, we indulged in the **dessert wine flight**--a must for anyone visiting! Each sip was a delightful surprise, and we finished with the **avocado mousse**, a light and unique dessert that felt like a perfect ending after a rich meal. As a dessert lover, I was thrilled to find something so indulgent yet refreshing! As if the evening couldn't get any better, the chef himself came to our table to check in. He was humble and genuinely cared about the experience he was providing. It's no wonder Barbareno is Michelin-rated! We can't wait to come back and bring the kids next time. Thank you, Barbareno, for making our anniversary so special and unforgettable!
