Had an early dinner there on New Year’s Eve. First time there. Sat outside under warming heat lamps—cozy and a good spot for people watching. The scene inside was lively, too. The food was delicious—veggie enchiladas were well prepared and the Spanish potato tortilla was the best I’ve eaten anywhere. Service was great. We live South, so a 40 minute drive to Montecito, but well worth the drive. Can’t wait to return! View all feedback.

read moreThis restaurant offers huge portion sizes, even with their small plates, but the food quality is just mediocre. The noise level inside is high, so dining on the patio is recommended for a quieter experience. One reviewer mentioned a personable and efficient server. Some dishes, such as the paella, were found to be less flavorful than expected. Service can be hit or miss, with some experiencing missing or incorrect orders. However, when the food does arrive, it is described as delicious. The homemade corn tortillas and chile rellenos are highlighted as favorites. Overall, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, both indoors and outdoors. The Carne Asada and guacamole are recommended dishes, and the tequila offerings are also praised. Despite some service issues, the general consensus is positive, with many expressing a desire to return to the charming restaurant.
Great experience! Had a blast and food was amazing!
Food was bland and lackluster. Drinks and service were the only redeeming qualities
