My husband I had a delightful evening at Carlitos Café y Cantina. It was our first night in Santa Barbara we couldn't have asked for a better kick-off than to have really good Mexican food along with a festive atmosphere wonderful live music. The guacamole chips were delicious, as was my Blood Orange margarita. Our main courses were attractively presented exceptional in taste. I like, too, that you could have a Caesa... View all feedback.
What Angel Cristobalb doesn't like about Carlitos Cafe Y Cantina:
I remember the food was different. I asked the waiter if the chef is new because I saw a big difference in the food and presentation, and I was definitely right. They changed the chef. The flavor is totally different. View all feedback.
Love the atmosphere. Drinks are great and food is a little pricier for Mexican food, but it is worth every penny for the atmosphere and location. Fajitas are great! Pozole is also amazing.
The staff here is at the top. Absolutely conscious and fast. The food is really nice and the prices are good. Would definitely come back. Recommend to go aswell! Good with kids too.
I really wanted to like Carlitos. We've visited before and didn't love it. But we wanted to give him a second chance. Oh, good! The service was good. Super professional. The outdoor restaurant was also comfortable. And what a great location for Touring State Street. But we didn't love the nachos or Margaritas. There were too many black beans in the nachos. And her taste was OK. Nothing unforgettable. The Margarita Berry/jalapeno Margarita was delicious enough, but small for the price. There is just too much great Mexican farewell to SB to return to Carlitos.
I enjoyed my time in this restaurant. The staff was very friendly and our waitress Carlita was so The Guacamole was so good, had a nice heat. The steak was good, a little fat, but the taste was good. The Chile Relleno was my favorite!!
Awesome place to dine at. I absolutely enjoyed the Chicken Fajitas, salsas, guacamole appetizer, tortillas, mango margarita, and vegetables. A must try place, I didn't even get to finish all of my fajitas, and they were so delicious. Highly recommended. They have both outdoor and indoor seating available. Parking looked available on-site but we parked across the street.
