This is of our favorite stops when we travel through Dsnta Barbara. The food is delicious. However, due to its popularly the wait time can be 45 minutes in line if you arrive after 11:30 a.m. Several times we have given up! It's a no frills place, and not a typical Mexican restaurant - no chips, but great food. Love... More

This is simply great simple food, providing pur flavors. The food is best described as rustic, and is devoid of heavy handed sauces and seasonings. The vegetables are flame roasted to perfection (al dente). Each of the menu items provides a great balance of veggies, (marinated) meat, and usually a cheese. On the menu, there are some 20 fixed items... More

Don't expect to order bean burritos here. The food is unlike most California-Mexican food so don't expect the usual fare since this is unique, Chiappas-style cuisine. Small plates, usually takes two for a meal, allow you to try different flavours and offerings. The corn tortillas are made by hand, individually, as you order; and they are delicious! My favourites include... More

Great food... often a line. And for good reason. But you shouldn't go there as it'll make the line longer for me.

I moved to Santa Barbara a few years back and everytime I passed by, there was a line outside this restaurant...I asked several local Mexican friends about it and they told me not to bother with it as the food was terrible. I finally decided to find out for myself and went in for lunch. Guess what? my friends were... More

After reading the reviews and getting excited to go to this restaurant, I didn't find any lines around the block. In fact, I didn't find a line at all. I did find that the restaurant is closed on Wednesdays. I only gave this restaurant a rating because I had to in order to post this, but I thought it was... More

The long line in front of La Super-Rica is your first clue... The food at La Super-Rica is fresh and delicious. They feature an extensive menu consisting of various kinds of tacos as well as daily specials. The service is very friendly and everything is prepared to order. There is a very tiny parking lot (holds about 3 cars) so... More

Great place, a bit rustic,but the homemade tortilla's are awesome. I recommend the # 16 ,roasted pasilla chille w/cheese,pork and three tortilla's. Expect a wait if prime time (saturday @12-1pm) line goes out to the middle of the street.. Recommend, drop someone off for spot in line and u go park the vehicle where u can.
