Best WLM Reviews
I've passed by this place many times but never stopped. Mostly because it's in a small shopping center with very little parking. A friend invited me for lunch though so I finally got to try it. I entered a utilitarian interior and was greeted by friendly people who got my order done fairly quickly. Prices are on the high side for a hole-in-the-wall but decent for Santa Barbara.
I ordered the tacos al pastor plate. It was pretty good, with fresh ingredients and lots of food. I tasted my friend's crispy mashed potato tacos and they were really good. Wouldn't mind having them again.
There are better places on Milpas, some of them a hole-in-the wall, and some of them more upscale but there's nothing to complain about here. The food is good.
Easy to find, off-street parking, inside dining or take-out. Large menu - leans more towards authentic Mexican than Mexican-American... Lots of seafood. The prices seemed high for the portion size and restaurant quality/condition, however the food was very fresh, the beer was cold, and the service was quick. Definitely geared towards a neighborhood or drop-in crowd - not a date, destination. Almost forgot - breakfast burritos are the opposite of lunch and dinner. Priced moderately, with a larger portion ????
Take back what I said about super coucas, this is the best Mexican food place in downtown SB. Like deadass, this place is so good. Paid like 12 bucks for a burrito, soda, and burrito bigger than those 32oz hydro flasks from 2019. I strongly recommend this place as nothing can beat it in quality and price
Great location on the upper East side of town.
Never a bad meal here.
Staff is very friendly and the food is great!
Sufficient parking on the lot as long as you are not there during the lunch rush hour. Plenty of street parking out back and front though.
It's a busy spot during lunch hour so get there before the lunch crowd. Getting it to go is also a good option as we have done many times when waiting in line isn't an option.
The servings are huge, they are not shy about filling your plate full of meat and veggies. Great for some leftovers for the next day or dinner.
The pastor plate is amazing. It's tangy and tasty. The carnitas plate is alsyo very good. Their tacos are filled with meat and easily twice the portion of other Mexican restaurants. Will have to try their Camarones dishes next time we are there! Variety of Salsas from mild to wild.
Highly recommend you trying this place out.
Classic Mexican food. Good selection of food and salsas. It’s not fancy but it’s good.
Go here. Come early. Get the menudo with Pata (weekends). Add an extra order of house-made tortillas. This place is beast mode. The lengua tacos are TOP SHELF!! And hit the salsa bar hard! Their sauces slap.
This is my 6-year olds absolute favorite burrito place. I can also vouch for the quality, even though it’s not my favorite (what up, Lito’s!). My go to at Buen Gusto is the tacos dorados with potato (though the the bean version is also delicious). Quality salsas in the salsa bar.
I got a fish and shrimp Taco, both were amazing. Highly impressed
