Taqueria Cuernavaca

Our FAVORITE Mexican place in Santa Barbara. We always stop here for lunch on roadtrips. The tortas are our go-to. I know the pictures don't look like much, but TRUST ME- they're SO good!!! My son had the quesadilla with el pastor and it's- a significant serving. Prices are fair, side salsas are great, facility is clean.

I had seen this taqueria before. Today I made the decision to stop and try their tacos, typical small double tortilla taco their sazon was OK, not perfect. I order 5 tacos 2 alpastor it wasn't bad nor good. 2 lengua tacos the meat seemed to be a combination of new and old. The other taco wasn't good at all. They have a self serve salsa bar with shop cilantro white onions rabanos and limes with 4 different salsas they are super spicy a little more than I would like it to be. They made me cry more than that unnamed woman who was unfaithful to me. Over all it was a good experience Thank you to Jeni for coming to my table and clean it .

Nice gem in Santa Barbara with good food. The quesadilla and tacos are delicious.

One of my fav. tacos restaurants in Santa Barbara

The first time I tried this place was a complete disappointment a few years back. I decided to give them another chance and they have improved the food. Still, the chicharrón they use for the gorditas is TOO WET. Chicharrón for gorditas must not be soaked in salsa verde, it mush be stirred fry with chile pasilla, or ancho, like the chicharrón prensado.

Ample outdoor seating, but that might have been because we arrived right before the lunch rush. Anyways, the food was pretty good, a little overpriced (we paid 40 bucks for everything pictured here) but the service was excellent. We ordered a variety of tacos (pastor and tripas), one gordita de chicharron/chile verde, one quesadilla of tripas, and one "gringa" (pastor and pineapple quesadilla). The salsas had a ton ot flavor, the tripas were crispy, and the food was just very fresh-tasting overall. I would come here again!

Absolutely the best value for your dollar and quality of food... I should rated this a1 star so no one comes and there would be lesser lines .. so yeah.. worst food ever don't ever come here and if you see me you should leave right away everyone is awfully cooked to perfection, stay home.. in fact you should go to Mexico for better food... Yea that's the ticket... Forget this review and buy a plane ticket to Mexico!!!😁😁😁😁

I’ve consistently had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The staff are always friendly, and the food is consistently well-prepared. I love the variety of affordable and delicious options they offer. The strawberry shake is perfectly balanced—just the right amount of sweetness. The enchiladas verdes are tasty and has a great spice to them. I also highly recommend the chorizo sopes. Their online ordering system is quick and user-friendly, and over the past two years, I’ve never encountered issues with my food, wait times, or service.
