Lilly's Taqueria

Mexican restaurant · Lower State

"If Super-Rica is the king of Santa Barbara's Mexican food, Lilly's is the queen. Located in an old building up against a freeway overpass, this extremely popular taqueria doesn't clutter your vision with burritos or quesadillas. Lilly's is all tacos, all the time. Their marinated pork abodaba is a must-order, and while you may not have woken up thinking you'd eat beef lip tacos for lunch, you absolutely should here.
