All the works really. Today I got a regular burrito, and it's loaded. There is rice beans, chicken, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo. My total was about $16 without a drink, which as a student is a bit pricey. however I felt like I got good value and it seems like they get slow buisness. I don't prefer it to free birds in Isla Vista but I found it to be filling, cheaper, and with a salsa bar I really enjoy. Maybe I'll stop by before work another time!

The burritos were generously big and tasty, but mostly rice and beans. It was a good grab for a road trip and everybody was satisfied.

Our server, Antonio, was friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. The rest of the staff was just as welcoming.

We'll definitely be back & highly recommend this location!

I was able to go with a buddy to catch up on life and there was nothing better than talking about life over perfectly cooked bacon and cheese enchiladas. They have a variety of food available including waffles and ice cream at the end of the buffet as well as an agua fresca dispenser. Their agua de sandia was INCREDIBLE! I couldn't help but give it a try! If I was in Goleta every weekend, this is where you'd find me. Looking forward to my next visit!

The salmon plate was good, with a chili relleno, beans, rice and corn salsa. The fish was a wee bit over-cooked, but tasted fine. The corn salsa might benefit from mango or some sweetness to go on the fish. In any event we were happy and full, with lots of leftovers going home.

I got their combo burrito (comes with chicken and tri-tip) with sour cream and chile asado. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and worked well with the tri tip as well. I also love it when they have pico de gallo at their salsa bar! I'm looking forward to going back super soon!

I think a container of the smoked salsa instead of whatever was in it would have been a better choice. Much more flavor. The chicken was dry but the skin had the grilled smokiness. The fact that the family meal didn't come with chips or guac is a crime. Do better.

To be honest, this place wasn't my first choice initially, but after a long day of partying, hunger won out--and I'm so glad it did! ​The service was impressively fast, which is exactly what you want when you're "hangry" at the end of the night. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful while we loaded up on a spread of a burrito, flautas, and tacos for the group. The food was way better than I expected; the flautas had that authentic, homemade style that hit the spot, and the tacos were solid. My friend finished the burrito with zero complaints, so it's safe to say everyone left happy. ​They also have a good beer selection to keep the vibes going. The only real downside--and the reason for four stars instead of five--is that they close surprisingly early. It's definitely not a late-night spot, so make sure you head over for an earlier dinner rather than waiting until the end of the night. If you're staying at the Hyatt, this is a must-try!

The complimentary chips were fresh, light, and warm! So delicious, I ate it within minutes with their mild red salsa that was chilled, runny, flavorful, and very very delicious. I love love love their salsa here and we refilled it another time, and they even gave us a container to take to go with a whole bag of FRESH CHIPS AND TOSTADAS. So generous!!! We ordered the chile verde and green aguachiles. The chile verde was absolutely scrumptious, but the meat could've been more tender for sure. It was stewed well and had great flavor but was pretty hard and dry. Their beans and rice was amazing and I couldn't get enough. Aguachiles are one of my favorite foods and I almost always order it if I see it. Their style was beautifully presented, spicy, and refreshing, although I would've liked it a little more chilled and the shrimp could use a little more attention to detail since 2 weren't deveined like the rest. It was definitely more on the raw side but I personally like it that way and I didn't have any stomachaches. It's beautiful on the patio especially during sunset. The chips, salsa, water never stopped flowing. I liked that they had multiple servers and bussers and food runners who all were incredibly kind and friendly. Each time they passed by our table they glanced at our food and drinks to see if we might need anything else before we asked for it. Incredibly thoughtful. When packing up I asked if I could get some salsa to go and she asked if I wanted chips, and I said just tostadas since I had leftover aguachile. She gave me BOTH!! Love it here, would come back a thousand percent.

Menu was really easy, no crazy amount of options - just tacos and you pick the meat. I ordered carne asada tacos and hubby got pork tacos. Tacos had a ton of meat, not fatty and there were many salsa options which were really good. You have to pay extra for grilled onions and jalapeño but it was worth it because it was such a great compliment to the tacos. You get your food pretty fast, can take it to go or sit and eat at one of the clean tables in the restaurant. Would definitely eat here again!

If that's what you want, you're in luck, but they were a bit expensive for what you received, and I'd rather have a fat flour tortilla burrito or authentic crunchy taco with cheese. The inside of the restaurant feels cold. Just a bunch of tables that you find and seat yourself to while you're waiting for your food to be made.
