    This place does 1 thing and they excel at it. Authentic tacos, and if I could leave more than 5 stars I would. Staff were awesome, place was clean and most importantly, tacos were stellar.

    Wow. I thought I knew good tacos living in Orange County. But, I have to say this place has an absolutely delicious selection of more of the uncommon meats: maciza (steamed beef), cachete (beef cheek), lengua (beef tongue), and cabeza (beef head). The cachete is A MUST GET! It's the most tender, juiciest, and with just the right amount of fattiness beef cheek I've had. Quick, fast, and friendly service with a nice indoor ambience. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

    This place is ok. I got asada tacos, the meat was a little too big for me, I like the meat more diced, they had a nice salsa bar. The tacos come with just meat, so you have to add the toppings you like.

    We tried all the grilled selections. Beef and pork are amazing. Chicken and tripes are good! Crispy tripe is much much better than the other choice of tripe. Red pepper sauce is spicy. Definitely will come again.

    The meat had great flavor. The tortillas were not dry or hard. I had asada and cabeza. They were both amazing. I would just add more items to the menu. That's also a veggie option for those that don't eat meat.

    I eat here once in a while. They are a little pricey but good.

    These tacos are on point! We hadn't planned on having dinner here, but a friend had recommended it, so we thought we would try a taco before going to dinner. Long story short, these tacos were so delicious we kept going back for more and had to cancel our dinner reservation. The salsas are amazing. I am still dreaming of these tacos weeks later!

    The meat is well prepared, and you get a very healthy serving of it. The tacos are incredible, and require very little "dressing up" to be tasty; I go with lime and radish. Friendly and helpful staff. Healthy choice of Mexican sodas and drinks. Your trip to SB is not complete without stopping by any of Lilly's locations. If you stop by on a weekend, grab a fried Tripa taco ;)

    Absolutely legit tacos. Self serve bar for onions, cilantro, and hot sauces that are actually mild, medium, death. Good value too. Love this place.

    Love this place! My daughter brought me here 5+ years ago when she attended UCSB. 3 tacos with generous portions of meat or veggies. And a fabulous salsa bar!! Service is quick, and prices are reasonable! I will stop, again, on my way back to NorCal.

    Such a great hidden gem. We love to stop by here when visiting our son up at school. I had the carne, pork and chicken tacos. The meat was tasty and the tortillas freshly made. So good

    These are the best tacos in the area I don't care what people have to say about any other location. Everywhere else is expensive and lame

  • 5/5 Ken C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very much enjoyed the carne asada and pork tacos. Tried both the downtown and Goleta location and they are very consistent with the quality of the food and friendly service.

    I'm my top 3 taco places in Santa Barbara. Nothing flour handled here if you are looking for a place to bring a friend with Celiac Disease.
