Los Arroyos

EXCELLENT all-around…great selection of tequila, great atmosphere, and ANGEL the bartender makes a superb margarita (had the Cadillac). You won’t be disappointed!

Our favorite restaurant for Mexican food. We tried others but always come back here. Sit outside and enjoy a wonderful meal. This photo was from our recent wedding anniversary.

Great spot in downtown Montecito. Food great, outdoor patio, great service!

One of the best Mexican Restaurant I have ever been to. Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Must try if you’re in town!

Grew up going to their Camarillo location, but was very happy to see Los Arroyos thriving in a proper restaurant setting. The food was lovely as always. Some of the best mole I’ve had outside of Mexico!!! Their food is top notch and tastes amazing.

As I was headed down 101 South from Goleta during rush hour no less, I decided that rather than spend 25 minutes sitting in the car moving just inches every few minutes, it was best to get off the freeway and enjoy a leisurely dinner until traffic was flowing again. As a new arrival to the SB area, I opted for the first Mexican restaurant I spotted just off the freeway. The place is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Montecito on Coast Village Road. Parking was easy, hassle free and no meters! I slipped into a parking space right in front of Los Arroyos (1280 Coast Village Hiway). I was immediately greeted and seated at a lovely table (I chose to dine al fresco--it is Santa Barbara where the weather is beautiful, after all!). Camille was quick to get my order and before I could barely get started on the chips, my meal arrived. I ordered salmon enchiladas and while I am a salmon fan I have never tasted anything like what I just had. The sauce was creamy but not sickeningly rich; it was a a red-sauce base but didn't trigger heartburn. The salmon was fresh, cooked just right without being dry and overcooked, and it was topped with thin slices of avocado. In a word, it was otherworldly. Guacamole was equally appealing to the taste buds-- not your everyday, smashed up avocado with some generic Pico di gallo tossed in. Same with the salad--fresh, crispy and served with house Ranch. Los Arroyos takes Mexican food to a whole other level with their secret recipes. (I asked what was in their salsa and, true to chef culture, was politely informed it was proprietary). To top it all off, they have an impressive offering of wine, beer, and mixed drinks--Justin cab never disappoints! Definitely a 5-star dining experience across the board! I'll be back.

This was the second time my daughter and I had eaten at Los Arroyos and it was just as delicious as the first time! She ordered the shrimp tacos & I ordered the salmon tacos. Both entrees included black beans served in a crisp corn tortilla "bowl" and a serving of Mexican rice. My daughter never liked black beans until she had them here. She loved them!! I had a good sized portion of salmon in each taco which was very tender and juicy. My daughter had a generous amount of shrimp in her tacos. The restaurant was very clean and the service was great. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The parking lot isn't very big as there are many shops located on the same street, but there's some parking in front of the restaurant. We'll definitely be back!

I had a beautiful lunch on the relaxing patio with one of my dearest friends. The food was tasty, the atmosphere lovely and the waiter had a fun sense of humor 😃🌮

All of what we ordered was rich in flavor. We even purchased a pint of their green salsa because it was so good and we make homemade Mexican salsa all the time. The molcajete was a work of art and the salsa it swims in is delicious.

We were here for the weekend. Guests here were very friendly, as well as hosts! Our drinks are very good! It was a nice evening listening to Live Mariachi as we enjoyed our meal

Absolutely great food, drinks and service. We went 2 nights in a row. That good.

Everything Was really Good, lots of Flavor, Almost seemed Authentic Mexican Food, It Was a Long Wait But other than that I Like it there

Love the food!! Great cocktails and the bartender is awesome...get in here and enjoy..

Tasty Mexican restaurant. We enjoyed a basic lunch of chips and Guac and then fajitas. Everything was tasty. Great space, had our little dog with us outside. Very comfortable and enjoyable space for food and conversation.

We’re a group of four riders from Orange County and stopped by Los Arroyos in Montecito for lunch while visiting Santa Barbara. Food was tasty, service was okay, and prices were reasonable. A great casual spot for a quick bite.

Loved their homemade guacamole.... 🙏 Cofee can get an upgrade, it was burned or smoked las time I visited.

The ribs were super dry, like if they cooked them and after warmed up or something, not good. Meat was ok, quesadillas with langusyones was average

It’s so seriously overpriced. We live right around the corner and despite the convenience we do not find it worth the cost for what you get. We tried it again for burrito week and got the chicken runaway burrito for $9, which is a very reasonable price for a chicken bean and cheese w/guac burrito, without rice mind you, normally around $20, more if you add rice. Guacamole was entirely on the first ⅓ of the burrito, terrible distribution, mouthful of guac. The flour tortilla was moist and borderline soggy, not a nice texture, it seemed like they attempted to sear the tortilla but did it in a hurry. We attempted to sear it better on our skillet at home. Burrito week should be a time to market their burritos as the best so we would want to return for the rest of the year, this was not the case here and we do not plan on returning which is a bummer because it’s the closest Mexican restaurant to us. I leave a poor review because I feel like if I called management it would fall on deaf ears and nothing would change. This is Montecito’s tourist trap.
