The Best Restaurants in Santa Barbara, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"There’s no lack of great breakfast burritos options in Santa Barbara, but one of the best in town can be found at an unassuming Mexican spot, Lito’s, a few blocks away from the busy strip of Downtown. The small daytime only restaurant offers breakfast burritos of practically every variety, stuffed with ingredients like eggs, nopales, potatoes, beans, machaca, and more. Diners can try practically any ingredient combination in their burrito, making the options almost endless; a tender warm tortilla holds it all together without being too heavy. If a breakfast burrito isn’t on the agenda, Lito’s also serves things like taquitos and classic Mexican combination plates with carne asada." - Mona Holmes

Lito's Mexican Restaurant is a cozy spot with incredibly warm and attentive service that makes you feel right at home. We ordered the chilaquiles and a burrito, both were delicious and satisfying. The standout was the fresh, tasty salsa that elevated everything perfectly. Highly recommend for authentic Mexican flavors.

I’ve been here 4 times and found hair in my food on 2 of those occasions. First time my girlfriend and I went we found a big black hair in our salsa. I didn’t go back for a long time until eventually I got dragged by a group of friends that wanted their breakfast burritos badly enough to ignore my experience. The breakfast burritos are good and aren’t too expensive, so I came back for breakfast burritos a couple times after that. My third burrito had another massive black hair in it. I will not be returning, would not advise anyone else to, and would recommend this place be visited by the health department without warning.

Lito's Mexican Restaurant is a grand slam for a Mexican style breakfast. I had the breakfast burrito with eggs and sausage. For a little extra charge I added cheese and beans but wish I didn’t for get to add potatoes. The burrito was delicious. I was brought out chips with read salsa while I waited which were fantastic. When my burrito arrived I was given a very taste green salsa as well. It must be a locals hot spot because the very friendly staff knew most of the customers by name. Seating is some what limited but I was able to get the last seat without waiting and the turn over is pretty quick. Everyone I saw had a different meal and they all were mouth watering. The potions sizes are huge and I didn’t see a single plate of food I would love to try on any of the customers tables.

Nice Mexican food place. Pretty convenient if you stay at the marriot. The tacos were great.

Lito’s gets what most burrito spots forget: portions matter. The tri-tip burrito is loaded with real amounts of meat, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese in every bite. Not skimpy, not overpriced. You actually get the experience you’re paying for.

Stopped in for a breakfast burrito on our way to Paso Robles. The burrito was fresh, salsa was so good and it was a small, quaint place for a quick bite! They were also preparing ribs for a catering event that day that smelt and looked delicious!

Every time I am in Santa Barbara Lito’s is on my must stop places to get my favorite Carnitas burrito. Wendy is always so nice and remembered me today from when I worked for SBPD and come in all the time. I love the new remodel inside too.
