NileGuide Expert tip:
You can't go wrong with the rock shrimp soft tacos and a classic margarita.
Description:
Sizzling Fajitas, rock shrimp soft tacos, spicy enchiladas, and more are dished up at this Santa Ynez go-to for Mexican eats. More than 60 premium blue agave tequilas line the shelves of the extensive bar, so don't miss an opportunity to imbibe in one of their specialty margaritas (pomegranate margs are popular). Though the restaurant is located in a western-stlye town smack dab in front a feed store, don't be fooled--the food is authentic with handmade tortillas and an open fire grill, and it's the perfect place to cozy up by the fire with a date or to simply feed the need after a long day of wine tasting. Owner Carlos Lopez-Hollis comes from a family with a long history of feeding Central Coasters--his folks opened Carlitos in Santa Barbara 32 years ago and Cava in Montecito 13 years ago.
