I am writing this review for a private event (taco party for a post-wedding event)…read more My wife and I recently had a wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and in the evening, wanted to have a taco truck for guests. We are very happy that we found Valerie and El Pastorcito to be able to host this. They were flexible (able to help brainstorm ideas when we couldn't host at the beach), easy to work with (Valerie was very open to suggestions), and courteous (especially around allergies). Many of the guests were very happy with the food (and one person even ate 11 tacos!)

Came here after a friend recommended their crispy tacos. I'm not one to usually order crispy tacos…read morebut I'm glad I did! These reminded me of home made tacos that my mom makes. Very crispy and delicious and fresh lettuce on top. The salsas pair very well with them too. I got two carnitas crispy tacos and was surprised when I found out it had some delicious stringy melted cheese inside! So good! I also ordered a taco of al pastor and asada. Both were good. They weren't super filled with meat like other taquerias but still good. The horchata is probably one of my favorites that I've tried in SB. I like my horchata watery and with cinnamon so that's why I like it. I'm not too fond of the milky horchata so I liked this one. I'd definitely come back and I recommend you all try the crispy tacos!

Absolutely horrible experience and horrible food. Staff were very rude and got my order wrong -…read moreafter I explained to them what I ordered, they tried to tell me that I said something different (which I know I didn't) and refused to give me the right item. This was even after I tipped them well. Then, I sat down and found hair in my food. This place was disgusting and not a well kept establishment. Never coming back here again- there's plenty of other places in SB that do laps around this busted joint. Don't waste your time

For starters this place doesn't really offer parking, so parking was a bit difficult considering it…read morewas in a residential area. The service was okay, you have Togo inside and order. But even when we walked in; no one really directed us, we had to ask if we needed to wait for someone to seat us, and the they told us we had to order and then choose where to sit. The restaurant itself seems okay, it's like someone's front yard with tables. The food itself wasn't good. I got chicken taquitos, and the chicken tasted fake. It felt like it was re-refried. If that makes sense. I personally felt like it was overpriced for the amount of food and the taste in the food. We also got a burrito and the burrito was pretty small, and basic. We got the chicken huarache, and the carne asada plate and I would say they were a bit tasteless. I don't think I'll be revisiting this place again if I'm being honest.

Our go-to place when visiting SB! The veggie tacos are my fav! As long as you ask to leave off…read morethe cheese, they are vegan. The assorted veggies are so good...celery (yum), peppers, onions, mushrooms... There are other vegan options, including their rice and beans. Plenty of patio seating. Very small parking lot, but it's a neighborhood favorite so I usually see people walking or biking over.

Food The portions are massive so you will be splitting with…read moresomeone or getting a to go box. Even my partner with a massive appetite could not finish their burrito. Love the massive menu and the different options. They have an entirely vegan menu option and bring their meat in from Rascal's. The best option from that was the Rascal's asada burrito and it was filled with meat, rice, and beans. So much flavor and the meat was so crispy in a good way. The two salsas they give you are both smoky and really good. The red is on the slightly spicy side, but nothing too crazy. Also got the vegan chorizo burrito and appreciated the chunks of potato that was added as well. We also got the three hardshell tacos and that was the best deal by far. The tacos were massive and came with plenty of lettuce and a huge dollop of guac. The guac was really good and for $8 it was crazy how much food you got. Truly the best deal and you could mix the meat that you had in each taco. Service You walk into the outdoor seating area and there are booths and tables that you can pick. You order at a counter and on one side there is a fresh meat market and small Mexican grocery store. They have fresh produce and plenty of traditional goods. On the right side, there is the counter with all of the menu above the counter. The menu is massive and broken out to each base you are looking for. The staff was super nice and worked the short line quickly. They did not stop and were helpful with getting us to go supplies when you need it. There is a place where you bus your dishes at the end. Ambiance It is a casual place for sure. No indoor seating and a full counter service where you bus your own table at the end. The bathroom is on the back side so you need to get the key from the counter. There is a pretty good sized parking lot, which is always a nice thing in Santa Barbara.

This place is 10/10 food is amazing!! It's so delicious and tasty. I ordered a chicken burrito and…read moreservice was fast to bring out the food to me. They have different salsas at a bar for your choice. It's also huge! And worth my money. I will be coming back for a burrito run. Also I ate my burrito before I could take a picture

Stumbled upon their food truck walking around IV late at night and was pleasantly surprised! Milpas…read moreis a great joint to get some quick grub to satisfy savory cravings. The truck was not too busy around 10 pm. It's parked near the IV Market and is just your usual no frills experience. Everyone working was nice and took my order quickly! I ordered a plate of pupusas, one of my favorite things ever. I love stuffed foods, pockets, etc, so of course I had to give these a try. I got pork and cheese filling, and it was pretty good! For about $11 you get two, some slaw, and salsa on the side. You can also grab other salsas to eat, which were good. My favorite was their creamy green one! The pupusa was well filled and the masa was good. Not dry and the cheese was nice! I haven't seen them parked out in IV for a while, but would totally be down to visit their store in SB! If you come across this spot, give it a try! Yum!

I am so sad but it's time to officially say goodbye to Gloria's tacos. They have exponentially…read moreincreased their prices since 2021 with no sign of stopping. The burritos went from $10 to now being $17!!! Mind you, the sizes of their burritos or tacos haven't gotten any bigger. Also that's a 70% increase, that is insanity.!!! At this point might as well go to los Agaves and get a side salad and chips, as well as unlimited Salsa with your food. Gloria, I hope you see this and rethink your prices because you've lost a loyal customer!

The place itself is nice and it's in a great spot right by the beach, so it's a nice place to stop by and get some food.

Actually devastating because there is no dessert on the menu. That is my only complaint…read more After a long day at work, we were grateful such savory restaurant was open so late. We got there around 9 and there was a decent amount of families having late night dinners like us. I only got tri tip because I wasn't that hungry but it was tasty, so juicy and flavorful I kept eating it. Presentation was simply uniform in shape and color. Love the grill marks. I also got pink lemonade. Classic. Guac tasted quite oily. Needs more salt. The burrito was certainly a two meal kind of dish. Pretty giant. Love the salsa bar. I would love to learn how to make the marinated onions. I could eat bucket fulls of it if I had the capacity.
