“Mexican cuisine”

Enjoy inspired, fresh Mexican cuisine and award-winning margaritas across from the historic Arlington Theater in downtown Santa Barbara. Colorful umbrellas and a bubbling fountain accent our sun-filled patio while our dining room features lovely views and a cantina stocked with a fantastic collection of 100% Blue Agave tequilas. Add some lively Mexican and South American guitars and you have the makings of a fun filled evening.
