    Birria taco
    Erica H.

    This taco was the perfect bite. Driving up to Santa Barbara for the weekend, and just needed something to take the edge off. Stopped in Carpinteria and found this gem and had honestly the best taco I've had in a long while. The birria was moist, the corn tortilla fresh and salsa delicious. Do yourself a favor and stop by!

    Too salty and chewy meat
    Erika A.

    While this place sounded promising based on previous reviews, it left much to be desired. Frankly food was overpriced for the quality provided. The asada torta was soggy, salty and the meat itself was chewy. Hubby ordered the supper burrito, yet they forgot to add sour cream and pico de gallo. Another thing was the bathroom this place shares with the ice cream place, apparently was left locked from the previous night. And no one but rhe manager had keys to it.....and manager only comes in during the week.

    Half the salsa bar. Copious options, all labeled.
    Will L.

    This is a nice little hole-in-the-wall taqueria, with all the essentials: lots of menu options and lots of salsa. Actually, they really take salsa seriously, with an abundance of options you can select from, all labeled so no surprises. I ordered three tacos: two chicken and one pork. The thing about Don Roge: when you order chicken tacos, you get loads of chicken (and little else). When you order pork, you get loads of pork. You can then supplement your tacos with whatever salsas you want, and in any combination. I liked a combo of pico de gallo supplemented with salsa diabla. Wonderful (and super zippy)! Service consists of going to the counter to place your order. They're nice, friendly and super prompt. If you grab a seat, indoors (small, not many options) or outside (many more options, bigger tables), they'll bring your food out to you. You'll need to ask for napkins, which they'll gladly bring. (The overloaded tacos, which I loaded up even more, are a bit messy.) Anyway, Don Roge is now my go-to taqueria joint in Carpinteria, especially since Tacos-to-go across the street went the way of the dodo.

    Torta de asada
    Minerva G.

    On a trip to Carpinteria we found this little spot. It's Mexican food and right next door is an ice cream shop. They have a nice selection of food. We tried the nachos and a torta. The young man at the counter was friendly and patient. It's really small but the ambiance is quaint. Over the the experience was good. If you are in Carpinteria it's a must try.

    Quesa birria plate is delicious.  The consome is delicious. My daughter loved the carne asada taco
    DonnA M.

    Quesa birria tacos is a must . They are delicious! My daughter had the carne asada taco which she liked . The spicy avocado salsa is delicious. The service and the cook are amazing people.

    We were in town for a few days and this was the best meal we had here in Carpinteria. We tried their queso birria tacos and they were very good. You get plenty of shredded beef, cheese and the consome. It was so delicious and satisfying.

    Good service and friendly staff, nice ambiance, but the portions are awful, my asada burrito was mostly rice and beans and maybe 10% asada.

    Excellent brewery spot with great beer & relaxed service!…read more Located against the railroad track on the back side of the building, it's a bit difficult to find, but just drive all the way in to the large alley, I guess Maple Ave. Nice wide open set up, perfect for a cold beer on a warm day. Wife went for the Crimson Horizon, and she enjoued it. I got a sip and it was smoother butterier than the Firestone cali squeeze? I tried the Avocado Honey Ale since can't go wrong with description of amber honey ale! Was told it was a version of their kolsch with local honey. Wow, it was smooth with a bit of sweet finish, so addictive!!! Still had hours to drive so couldn't just have as many as I wanted, but I checked online and seemed Albertsons sold it so figured I can just pick them up back at home. But the gentleman resting at the bar told me he delivers their beer but only up to the hills. I guess maybe available in stores up to Camarillo, but not over that hill/mountain. I had to have more of it, and they had 6 packs in the cooler for purchase so went for a pack. The green cans are such delightful vessels to hold the even more delightful liquid inside. Wife even cut out the top and using the cute cans as planters, lol! The cans poured out at home was excellent as well, very fresh and refreshing and could get tiny hints of avocado on sips. Just a great beer! After browsing the brewery, it seems avocado honey ale is their signature beer, so I got lucky to choose that from the menu, lol. While enjoying the beer, the amtrak train blew it's horn to leave from the Carpinteria station, so we rushed out to wave and enjoy seeing that go by right in front as well. I am sure the locals were shaking their heads at our excitement of seeing the train go by, one gentleman when leaving even complimented my kid's dance moves from when we were out there to greet and send off the train, lol! Awesome local spot and great folks, just a very relaxing spot to enjoy the delicious avo honey ale! Just hidden so maybe not many visitors to Carpinteria find it, but I picked it out from search for brewery and chose this over the other one on the main streets. What a find for an out of towner! Hope they can expand out or grow their delivery area, maybe get it sent to total wine which must have a distribution center. Otherwise, this is a must stop for any SB trips for sure!

    Great vibes at Island Brewing Company! There's indoor or outdoor seating. I've also seen people…read morebring their own chairs to sit in. There's usually live music on the weekend and a food truck. Island Brewing Company has a variety of beers to choose from, but they are mostly known for their avocado honey ale. It's a smooth slightly sweet beer. I'm a fan of their hazy IPA too. If you're looking for a chill spot to drink a beer, this is the place to go.
