Los Agaves

Los Agaves, 4.5 out of 5 based on 5 ratings

Tile floors, wood-and-tile tables and paintings of Mexico, including a couple of large canvases featuring the namesake agave, the source of all tequila, bring a touch of Mexico to the casual, comfortable dining room, but it’s the food that completes the picture. The owner, Carlos Luna, pulls from countless recipes that his grandmother in Guadalajara, Mexico used to prepare for him. Everything is made by hand daily, the tamales, the tortillas, the salsas. There are no preservatives, no MSG, no canned products, everything is made from scratch. Good ingredients and careful cooking are reflected in a menu full of delicious regional dishes from central and southern Mexico, Puebla, Oaxaca and Guadalajara, in particular. Guests order at the counter, and their food is delivered to their table.

Agree with all the other reviews

I read the reviews of this place and had to give it a try. And it is wonderful. The tropical influence is more than noticeable and delicious. Love the Los Agaves enchiladas - to die for.

Best mexican food in town

This is our new favorite Mexican food in Santa Barbara, which is quite a statement since we have so many. This place is leaps and bounds ahead of the pack and it is because the food is so unique. It must be owners Spanish influence and the sauces are incredible, very tropical tasting and imaginative dishes. We love this place and wish them great success.

Yummy birthday celebration

A bunch of our friends celebrated a couple of birthdays at this somewhat new restaurant and had a great time. The food was distinctly different than your typical mexican food and had a refreshing and tasty Yucatan presence. I heard that the the owner is from Guadalajara. I had the Agaves enchiladas and they were excellent. Halibut and shrimp with peppers and a delicious sauce that had just the right amount of kick and lots of flavor. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals and the ambiance was great. A nice mixed crowd, and the place was packed. Highly recommend as our new favorite Mexican restaurant in town.

Great food at a great price

Had an excellent lunch with my girlfriends. The place is lively and fun without being stiff. THe food was really good and reasonable priced. I had the prawns with salmon on the pineapple that I saw in the Dining and Destinations magazine and it was tasty. This will be one of our new favorites.
