Same meal plan pricing, same all-you-can-eat food as DLG. Only problem is that the food quality here is more… variable… than at DLG.

I don’t normally write reviews, but I guess as a student at UCSB I thought this might be a relevant experience.

I was a Gaucho for a couple of years and the UCSB dining commons are nothing but special to me. Pizza, burgers, pasta, sandwich bar, salad bar, waffle machine, unlimited soda, all-you-can-eat everything all with a simple card swipe! (or <$20 for non-students) Seriously, some of you guys' complaints make no sense. You really expect French Laundry quality here? Yeah right! This place's job is to provide us with glucose for our brains to complete our studies, and for that I'd say it's beyond satisfactory. Ranking of the DCs: 1. Ortega (sushi baby!) 2. DLG (late night cravings) 3. Carrillo (best breakfast) 4. Portola (too far, had it once)

I love the fact that they have sushi, but it typically has cooked fish (likely to prevent diseases). Also, it has an almost eerie atmosphere due to the lighting, and has a painting of the Odyssey — a bit offputting if you’ve taken Classics 40 with the Gucci Dr. Gallucci

Good selection, good taste, but questionable dish cleanliness. A new investment in utensils should be carried out. My spoon today had battle scars.

Good for lunch; has basic burger stands, fries, 2 main dishes and at least 2 types of sushi. Wouldn’t go for dinner.
