General Notes
AMAZING tacos in Santa Barbara, easily one of the best taco joints I've been to. Very reasonably priced (the "triple play" is 3 tacos of your choice + chips for $11.50) and the food is delicious. I love that each meat / protein option is already pre-constructed with the perfect sauces + accompaniments for the best experience. The chips are also very good. Definitely worth a stop for a casual lunch.
Dishes Tasted
- ★★☆☆ carnitas -- pork, cabbage, guacamole, pico de gallo, lime vinaigrette, corn tortilla
- ★★★☆ ahi poke -- raw ahi tuna, napa cabbage, marinaded red onion, chili flakes, sesame seeds, wasabi aioli, wonton shell. The wonton shell and the wasabi aioli are an excellent touch
- ★★★★ gangnam style -- korean style marinaded steak, cabbage, cilantro, pickled daikon, carrot, cucumber, spicy chili vinegar, east beach aioli, corn tortilla. The pickled veggies add a nice contrast
- ★★★★ spicy crispy shrimp -- tempura shrimp, curly endive, pico de gallo, chipotle aioli, lime vinaigrette, corn tortilla. This one is REALLY GOOD, don't skip this one
- ★★☆☆ carne asada -- marinaded steak, cabbage, pico de gallo, guacamole, queso fresco, flour tortilla
- ★★★☆ batter up -- battered cod, cabbage, pico de gallo, east beach aioli, flour tortilla
