Such bomb food. The alambres de pollo and the mixed one with all the meat is sooo good. I haven't tried everything there yet! Lol (but i will 😛) but i highly recommend this place. Fresh food made to order , you can tell in the presentation and the quality.. You have to try it ...😊👍🤙

Taqueria Cuernavaca and the employees are the best except for the owner. He is rude at all times. #Delicious Tacos, Lengua and Pastor. Gorditas with Chicharon Prensado are always good when Connie cooks them.

Cannot beat flavorful food that is fast and cheap. Got the beef tongue tacos, the meat was juicy, tender and it hit the spot.

Great food. Comida mui rico. Quality with consistency.

My most favorite place to enjoy authentic, delicious food! I truly recommend their carne asada. The meat is never dry. It's super juicy and flavorful! Tortas, gorditas, sopes,tacos, I could go on and on. Top it off with a good salsa and a refreshing, ice cold squirt!

I really slept on this place for a minute, but it’s honestly the best in town. The tacos are sooo good. So simple but flavorful. I haven’t tried much, but the chorizo, suadero, and asado tacos are top notch. They also have a good selection of vegetarian tacos

The nice gentleman at the counter recommended me the cabeza burrito. Best burrito I’ve ever had. Maybe the best thing I’ve ever eaten.

True, California Mexican food at its best. Burritos were stellar and the taquitos were a treat. Definitely my new go-to in Downtown Santa Barbara!

Really good tacos with a generous serving (including the veg ones) and every single one of their salsas are amazing. Bro just go

Tacos were very good. Had the chorizo and the Tonga (shredded chicken with chipotle sauce). Just solid tacos. Gonna go back and try a burrito sometime. Food was good and quick. Great spot, but more of a take out spot as it is small.

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!

Known for their alambres (sautéed and grilled meats and veg covered in melted cheese and served with corn tortillas) but I prefer their gorditas: crispy fried delight filled with your choice of protein (I chose chicken tinga) and lettuce, crema, queso. Pastor anything is also good (burrito, taco, etc). We also enjoyed the chicken taquito plate with rice and beans. Adequate salsa bar with 4 salsas, radish, cilantro, onion, lemon. Service is fast. Tacos are $2-$3; gorditas $4; burritos around $8; alambres around $12. Small parking lot but there’s plenty of street parking.

I liked this place. It is really simple, but the tacos were great (I had chorizo and al pastor). The chicharrón gordita was not as good as I'd hoped, though. I expect chicharrón to be crispier than that, though the gordita was great. There is a table outside, but most of the seating was inside.

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 .

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.

Alambre looks so sad, it could make a grown man cry. Bell peppers weren't even cooked. Taste was bland. Salsa was decent actually.
