5.0 of 5 stars.
One of the best places to eat in all of Santa Barbara, and often the line to get in reflects this. However, the food is worth the wait. Nothing special about the atmosphere, but again, great eats.

Let me start by saying I had high expectations based on all the hype i've heard about this place. It consists of a dirty shack and a small area filled with filthy plasic furniture. The eating area is covered...

Great Mexican stand - lives up to the hype.Here's a clip from an article by Cindy Price in last week's NY Times surveying taquerias up and down the coast (NY is finally discovering real tacos!):"Do...

At first glance, this nondescript - except for its vivid turquoise paint job - shack hardly looks like the type of dive Julia Child would have visited once, let along frequented on a regular basis....

Alright...the food IS tasty, fresh & authentic. But some people here are way too effervecent in their praise. In terms of California standards, it is above average but doesn't hold a candle to the Taco Meccas...

This little hole in the wall taqueria is written about in all the travel magazines. I'm no connoiseur of Mexican food but it was the most authentic I've had in SB. Need a car to get to. Some may say...

This is a Santa Barbara landmark, praised by Julia Childs and me! The food is wholesome and tasty. Another review complains about the price. For the $13 they spent, this is a really great deal in Santa...

I tried this after seeing it on Best of Citysearch. I couldn't find this restaurant initially. They don't have a board visible even if you are in front of it. But it is difficult to miss the people waiting...

This place is the best ever. It takes at least 3 times before it grows on you, for some it's the first time. If you don't agree, then go to taco bell. This place rules the world. I haven't seen Mexican food...

This place is way overated. Not enough food for the price and what you do get is not all that good.

We were told by locals this is the place to try - we did so and were not disappointed. The food is very fresh, you can watch the cooks prepare your meal from scratch. The taste and quality shows. The prices...

Tried this place a couple of weeks ago when in town for the Santana concert at the SB Bowl. The food was authentic, tasty AND reasonably priced. Yes, there is a line usually we are told, and now we know why!...

Line up, order in Spanish, fight for a table, and BUEN PROVECHO. This is heaven in a (homemade) tortilla.

Julia Child loves this place, and now I know why. Any time of day you'll find a line, but it just doesn't matter. Watching the kitchen, chop, sizzle and prepare your authentic treats will make your mouth...

Looking at this humble street-corner shack, you'd never guess it's blessed with an endorsement by Julia Child. The tacos here are authentic and no-nonsense, with generous portions of filling piled onto fresh,...
