    Tastes just like moms cooking. Come before rush, good food at good prices tend to be difficult to find seating.

    Amazing food, good prices and super-friendly staff. Can't say if it's the best Mexican restaurant in SB, but it's the best I've ever had. Try the Agave burrito!

    Umm...so good!! The ceviche tostada is FABULOUS (can be shared by 2 people) and the the Los Agaves Enchiladas are honestly amazing (had them with salad only instead of also with rice on the side)!!!

    Great Mexican food. The best Nachos I have eaten anywhere. There was a line out the door. No wonder. Prices are fair (not cheap) and food quality is excellent. I'll be back when we return to SB.

    The halibut & shrimp tacos were excellent. It comes with a lovely salad & yummy rice. My husband & son had the mole chicken enchiladas. They enjoyed them but my husband thought there was 2 much cheese

    The Molcajete is no joke! Comes to the table bubbling like lava in a lava rock bowl. Get the Sea & Earth version for a taste of everything (fish, shrimp, chicken, chorizo, steak).

    The Baja tacos are great. This place gets very crowded so try and go there during off peak hours. The food is definitely worth the wait.

    Having to wait in the line sucks, but the food is awesome. The mole is good but the avocado salsa is killer. Order take out and skip the line.

    Wow! This place is the best Mexican food I've had in a really long time! Fairly priced. Super busy, might be hard to get a table!

    All orders come at the same time, so do not order an entree if you are not starving. Delicious food!

    Try the Mar Y Tierra Molcajate, not always listed on the menu but worth asking for it. Enough for two people

    Kim Cameron, Valencia, CA - Black bean & corn salsa salsa, outstanding. I tried the Fajitas del Mar (shrimp, fish, bell pepper & onion) & it was excellent!!!

    Everything is fantastic here. Even the side of rice is premium - not the filler it often can be. Only regret is I couldn't eat more!

    come with a group if possible - because the entrees are delicious and usually too big for one person to finish!

    The breakfast quesadilla is awesome. Grab a cup of coffee. FYI, it does have cinnamon (which is delicious).

    The Chiles Norteños are spectacular. Fat pieces of perfectly cooked shrimp covered in melted cheese stuffed in a chile.

    Beans aren't vegetarian! Which is fine, but I wish it said it on their menu. We confirmed with the staff - they use meat-based seasonings.

    No one has anything on this place. Hands down the best mexican food in SB. (Los Arroyos doesn't even come close, though they are voted as the best).

    Steak mojado burrito was amazing. Avoid agaves burrito, just tastes like thousand island sauce over fish...

    Good food, but when its crazy busy prepare to be waiting forever for a table. People will try their best to get seated before you even though you were before them.
