Arroyo Enchiladas
Not only did these enchiladas throw me back in time to my abuelitas enchiladas dish but the way the flavors melted in my mouth with that first bite was unforgettable. I don't remember tasting something so authentic since my last trip to Mexico! If you want to take a journey back into your abuelitas kitchen? Los arroyos is the only place to go!
Ceviche Tostada
My Favorite of all time is the Ceviche Tostada! Being first-generation Mexican and always knowing that my mother was the best Mexican cook of all time, I always go back to Los Arroyos. Nothing compares to my mother's food then Los Arroyos. Honestly, I have never had a bad dish here, but the Ceviche tostada is my go-to. I love drizzling it with the really hot roasted salsa (ok my mouth is watering) it's really the best! Never fishy always fresh and the kick of yummy lime is to die for. I will always go back to Los Arroyos it tops all the other Mexican restaurants in SB. I think it's because it's authentic and reminds me so much of my mother's cooking.
Fajitas
I love this restaurant!!! I come here often and love all their food but the steak FAJITAS are my favorite! Nice, hot, sizzling and juicy! Five stars!✨✨✨✨✨
Maria's Enchiladas
great name for a dish!!!!
BBQ Chicken Salad
This is my lunch time favorite! A beautifully delicious choice for when I'm feeling healthy-ish! The chicken is grilled perfectly with a toasty taste and spices, it comes in a bowl of crunchy deliciousness that encloses the salad and all it's beauty. The avocados, bbq chicken, and dressing all blend so perfectly. The extra crunch of the tostada shell makes it a perfect dish for your lunch time hustle. I've also tried their protein burrito, and it's one of my favorite burritos in town. Everything from this place has been an awesome hit, and I haven't had anything I didn't like from the menu.
Beans & Cheese Burrito
Everything you get from here is always so fresh, so authentic and so real! The cooks at every location are amazing and you can really tell they make their food with love!! I've tried many things on this menu but believe it or not, los arroyos literally has the best bean and cheese burrito I have ever tried in my life! I know it seems simple to make but believe me when I say I've gone to most of the Mexican restaurants in sb and it is sad how many of them choose to use canned beans or beans that are dried up from sitting all day for their burritos.
Tacos Gobernador
Per waitress' suggestion, this dish was delicious! A wonderful combo of succulent shrimp and pasilla.
Arroyo Enchiladas
What a fantastic dish! I typically go for a burrito or tacos (all of which are also delicious) but wanted to switch it up this time. The Arroyo Enchiladas were great. Fresh fish and shrimp combined with delicious fresh veggies all topped with a tangy sauce. I love Spanish rice and how they are presented along with the beans in a small tostada type thing just shows how much these people care about their food. I can't wait to come back and try more items on their menu!
Tacos al Pastor
The tacos al pastor are delicious! One of my favorite tacos across the board. A bit expensive at $15 for two tacos, but I still order them almost every time.
Taquitos Locos
The beef taquito's are incredible, perfectly crispy! The rice and beans compliment them so well because they are simple and authentic without any new age fluff added. Exactly the way it should be.
Chile Relleno
The best Chile Relleno!! The combo plate is a must with the tasty rice and refried beans. I also get a yummy crispy chicken taco to take home to enjoy later. I love their chips and salsa especially the one with the shredded cabbage. The best Mexican food in Santa Barbara hands down!
Crispy Taco
What I love most about Los Arroyos is the freshness of the food. I never EVER worry that there's going to be a weird piece of meat or brown lettuce anywhere, which is so often the case at Mexican restaurants. Service is impeccable and restaurants are always clean and not hectic, even when it's busy. I really appreciate their consistency -- I've been a customer since they only had one location in the teeny place that's now Norton's (next to their Figueroa Street location). It's definitely a favorite and hands down the highest quality food compared to other obvious comparable Mexican places.
Arroyo Molcajete
Favorite dish!! Always my to go dish with different types of meats and always super tasty! I love visiting the one in goleta the staff is always super friendly and they make you feel like part of the family !
Burrito Mojado
We ordered the burrito Mojado, and pozole and both were delicious!. The burrito Mojado was not only delicious, but it was a huge serving size. My husband eats ( A LOT) and he had a hard time finishing the whole thing. Definitely was worth it, and we will be back to try more! Thank you guys - your food never disappoints. ( Not to mention the pozole was by far the best in town. Keep up the good work and the great food! )
Tacos Gobernador
Tried these on the advice of our waitress & the dish was amazing! My son & I both got them s item & he loved it too! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Everything is always top notch at Los Arroyos! Will continue to go back & look forward to trying their other locations.
Pozole
Best pozole in town! Perfect level of spice. The avocado compliments the flavors wonderfully.
Chile Relleno
The best in Santa Barbara! The cheese they use is exquisite. My favorite Mexican food restaurant in town for all items. The quality is better then other places. Soooo delicious!
Soft Taco
Consistently fresh ingredients make for the best taco in Santa Barbara. Add to that the friendly and helpful staff and it all combines to make a great experience. Highly recommended!
Arroyo Molcajete
The way the mole tasted when I took my first bite.. was astounding. I got memories that rushed to my brain of my abuelitas dish back home. The mole I know is sweet yet not to sweet. This was a perfect touch and I can't remember the last time I tasted something so authentic other than when I went to go visit my familia in Mexico. I 100 percent recommend this dish if someone wants to go back in time to their childhood through this magical journey with food "Los Arroyos" is the only place to go.
Rajas con Queso
THESE WITH CHORIZO ARE THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER! I'm doing the keto/low carb diet and this is the perfect dish. Especially when you add sour cream and salsa. I often order this plus 1 extra to go with it. Nothing better in the world!
Chile Relleno
¡CHILE RELLENOS FOREVER! I love them as they are the best in town. Quality is top notch. I always get 2 a la carte. My daughter enjoys the bean and cheese burrito. Fresh. Veggie tacos are a favorite too.
Maria's Enchiladas
I got these with chicken and it's now my top 3 dishes to get when I eat here. I love salsa verde and the flavors of this dish were amazing!!
Chile Relleno
This is the BEST Chile Relleno! The flavors are so delicious and the Chile's are mostly mild (Mother Nature throws in some heat every once in a while). The cheese is perfect and not liquidy(new word) like some other restaurants. Get it solo or in the combo plate. I like it with the chicken taco! Mmm!
Chicken
The chicken tortilla soup (served Sundays and Tuesdays) is the best there is. The portion size, blend of spices, generous pieces of chicken and just the right amount of creaminess make this my 'go to" menu item.
Tostada Ranchera
My FAVORITE tostada! It's layered perfectly with beans, rice, and I get grilled veggies. This is the only tostada salad in Santa Barbara worth ordering! Often I get this to go and they package it in a perfect container. Top with your favorite salsa and salad dressing and it's a 10!
Diego's Nachos
If you haven't been here before, just know you will enjoy anything on the menu! This place has always been my go to Mexican restaurant in town because the quality is ALWAYS there unlike many others that can be hit or miss! Diego's chicken nachos are the best, all burritos are amazing (especially the deep fried one) & tacos are the best in town!! On top of that, this restaurant is owned by one of the most amazing, friendly & giving family in town! Thank you tony for all that you do!!
Homemade Sopes
It's what chefs' are chasing when trying to "deconstruct" a dish, but it is the dish. Fantastic.
Diego's Nachos
The best nachos!! The delicious chips combined with the high-quality ingredients used as toppings makes for a great flavor. The nachos are always served warm and look appealing as an added bonus. My favorite!
Crispy Taco
My family travels all the way from Westlake Village to enjoy the wonderful food at Los Arroyos. The crispy beef taco and Chile Relleno combo plate is my favorite. The service is always great, the food even better!
Pozole
Absolutely the Best Pozole in the World!!!
Ceviche Tostada
This was my favorite dish at the Camarillo location. It's still my favorite dish, just a much longer drive to get it!
Soft Taco
I had a chicken taco and it was very good!
Enchilada
I love their mole chicken enchiladas. I almost exclusively order them with black beans. When I am feeling like a salad, I order Mama's Salad with steak. This is my go to place in Santa Barbara. I have lived here since the 60's.
Chile Relleno
I consider myself a Chile Relleno "know it all..." this was by far the best I have enjoyed in all my travels from here in SoCal to Chicago as far east as we have traveled in our motor home and between. The sauce used is not too spicy and a bit on the sweet tangy side a perfect compliment to the rich cheesy center and egg battered crust. It's my GO-TO anytime I am visiting our place in SB or on my way home to WLV at the Camarillo location. Keep up the good work.
Soft Taco
Best tacos ever! Full of delicious meat or veggies and cheese (rajás) my favorite!
Pozole
Loved the Pozole, it has been the best one that i have tried in town so far, and worth every penny!
