Whenever I go to this place I see mostly locals which I love. This last time I went we got chicken enchiladas, and el filete de pescado empanizado. They were both soooo good. Everything from the tortillas to de beans tasted homemade. The service was okay, they were extremely busy. I will say last time we got fish it wasn't as tasty. The cóctel de camarones is always good. Overall I recommend this place.

The best Mexican seafood restaurant in Santa Barbara, CA. Get off at the Milpas exit when traveling on the 101 freeway. it's located about a mile down. Great food and customer service. Take out is available too. Founder of @ChicanocultureSB

I visited here with my dad. I ordered the pescado dorado (fried fish), and my dad ordered the filete de pescado a la mexicana (Fish fillet Mexican style). My dad tried my plate and his, and he loved both of them! My dad loves home made cooking, and is difficult to impress with dine out food, so this is a big accomplishment. The fried fish needed salt, but that's an easy fix (just pour salt). The seafood is great here. Update: I came here a second time. The camarones revolcados are great, and have a spicy kick to it. Still great food!

This restaurant does not only serve Mexican seafood dishes, but they also serve other typical Mexican dishes like enchiladas, tortas, and etc. They also have a breakfast menu . I highly recommend to order their micheladas which it's a mix of beer and spicy ingredients. The food ranges from average to very good. Their home made salsa are not the best, but they have other name brand salsas. My favorite dish is the ceviche de camaro.

Didn’t want to wait in line at Super-Rica so dropped in here after a local recommended it. Super fast service and everything was really tasty. Fresh salsa, big burritos and the Jamaica was delicious. I had the shrimp burrito and it was super yummy. Can’t wait to come back!
