Best patio & margaritas in SB!! This is one of our absolute favorite places to enjoy an afternoon in Santa Barbara. Family owned and operated with great service, yummy food and fun ambiance.

The food and drinks were phenomenal! The staff. Went above and beyond to accommodate a large group during a busy fiesta Friday. The food is delicious and tasty and fresh. The happy hour menu was fun and plenty to choose from. Their regular menu features many delicious items as well. Definitely one of the best sit down Mexican food places in town.

I came here with a group of friends for happy hour and I must say I was very happy with La Playa Azul’s margaritas. I tried the classic and the spicy margaritas, both were really good. Also I loved how often they came to table with free chips. The nachos and the guacamole was pretty good too. The restaurant has beautiful decoration. The outside patio is very welcoming. Honestly next time I come back to Santa Barbara I’ll go to La Playa Azul!

EXCELLENT service! Tasty food, yummy drinks! La Playa Azul Cafe is one of the oldest, and one of the BEST Mexican Restaurants in Santa Barbara! It’s on Santa Barbara Street. I went with an out-of-town guest who wanted “good Mexican food ” and this places checks all the boxes. Food=5 Stars, Service =5 Stars, etc. Located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. Lots of things to see within walking distance. Check them out!

Great menu, reasonable prices, big portions. The chips and salsa were delicious as well. The many vegetarian options were appreciated as well as delicious. We got the veggie enchiladas, halibut, and crab enchiladas. For drinks, we got the roasted pineapple margarita. For parking, we parked at one of the Public Parking garage, some are 5 or 10 walking distance.

Amazing place in a great setting. Makes you feel like you’re on holiday. We had chicken fajitas which were super fresh and sizzling hot. Margaritas were great too. Free nachos and salsa are a great touch too.

Get the chile rellenos! You will not be disappointed. Service was quick, but not overly friendly. We were all very pleased with our meals. Hope to visit again next time we are in Santa Barbara. The patio was cozy and inviting.

Ray K

Firstly, the outside patio at night is the prettiest in downtown Santa Barbara. Burrito was spicy and delicious. The meat and veggies on the fajitas were hot and fresh – no chewy pieces! Staff was very friendly and attentive. Pitchers of margs were a little pricy for the size, but they were strong and did the job! Will definitely be back
