Sandbar, Santa Barbara CA

Drovee up on Thanksgiving day from LA, nice drive, food was good.appetizer before the big meal.outdoor type of set up, clean restrooms and it's along the state street shops.:) Good $!

Good food, service was a little slow but understandable, server was kinda busy. Anyways I enjoyed my breakfast.

Loved the vibe. Food was spicy? Everything in the menu we ordered was full of spice but loved it.

Good food and location in a prime location. The service especially the wait system needs to be improved. For drinks we had Moscow Mule, Pomegranate Margarita, Baja Michelada and Red wine. The pomegranate Margarita is very unique. We ordered Nachos and Guac and Habanero Wings for starters. Guac was yummy and Wings was the best - fully cooked and the flavors just fill the mouth with every bite. For main course we had Fish Tacos and it was delicious.

Great ambience, quick and pleasant service and really fresh food. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that my palate was not at intrigued by the food. The Habanero Wings were too salty but not hot enough, the BBQ wings were too sugary. The wings were cooked very well, with a perfect crisp, neither too much not too little. The grilled fish taco was already too soggy by the time it came to the table and the fajita lacked character. The cooking and presentation was done masterfully but unfortunately not tastefully enough. The bar for Mexican food is pretty high, and it is not quite the same thing if it doesn't excite palate. I might go there again, but if you are looking to have a nice romantic Mexican dinner date, definitely go there for the ambience.

2nd time I have eaten at the sandbar and it was great.hostess was polite, waitress was excellent, Mango crate on tap was top shelf. I ordered the Braised beef burrito supreme and it was delicious. Wife had a cheese chicken quesadilla and loved it. We like all types of Mexican food but have to put sandbar right at top.

Great service, great drinks at average state street cost. Food was alright but not incredible. Really the only gripe was table space. It was pretty cramped and uncomfortable and it seemed like it's a common (but understandable) theme throughout. Our waitress Jamie was really attentive and kind. Food came out hot. I ordered the Mahi Mahi burrito and though it wasn't bad, I might recommend trying something else.

Lunch stop, patient polite waitstaff, great fresh chips & salsa.terrific food, spiced just right.

Micheladas are great, ask for no ice though. Food was awesome. Staff were cool. Definitely a young adult place.

Super lovely spot. Was greeted with chips & salsa and a smiley friendly server. Margs are way yummy and food came super fast and we ate it even faster, it was so good. Wish I could take this place everywhere I go. Not sure what they’re paying the chef but he needs a raise. Get one of everything. That’s all.

The food was great I tried the new birra burrito and the meat had so much flavor and the meat had enough juice but not to much where the burrtio got soggy. The cheese on top of the burrtio was to crispy to eat so didn't really add to the flavor but other than that it was still a very good burrito I also had the steak fajitas and that was also a great spicy dish. Would came back to this place.

Great spot on state street for Mexican fare. Portions weren't too huge which was perfect. Food was tasty. The free chips were overseasoned- way too salty, and I love salt.

Yummy! Wide variety of mexican inspired and traditional items, great for people watching, was crowded but staff still attentive and friendly. Prices fair for area
$$$

I felt the waitresses were attentive to their customers. But I would say the food quality was not as good. Others in my party thought the same about their meal. They have plenty of TVs for watching sport witch is great and drinks are ok in price.

I just discovered this Mexican restaurant and I’m not disappointed! The food is really good! Kind of fancy and it’s great and it’s very affordable. I’ll definitely come back.
