"My friend and I came here for my belated birthday celebration and were impressed with the Benedict selection! It was a bit cool so we decided to sit by the window with the shade where we could still feel the the warmth from sun and it was perfect. Looking at their menu, I really want some veggies but the crab cakes looked good so our kind server Manuel suggested to add crab cakes to the SB sunshine Benedict and it turned out amazing! My friend did the same but with Canadian bacon and she loved it as well. We were both very happy how the veggies were done perfectly looking just like the pic on the menu ! Later we found out the courteous young man at the front counter is also named Manuel then we discovered they're father and son. Thank you for the delicious Benedict and the great service! We'll be back:"

"THE BEST EMPANADAS ! After our almost one week vacation in Cambria my wife and I decided to make a stopover in Santa Barbara on the way home. A good reason to have dinner and then breakfast at two of our fav spots. Soon after getting settled in our casita at The Eagle Inn we headed straight here to buy some delicious Empanadas.....the best Empanadas we have ever enjoyed ! No problem scoring a parking spot on their small private lot at around 6.30pm. A very pleasant cashier named Florencia helped us with our dinner order at the service counter. We both ordered COMBOS...2 Empanadas side of choice and 3 Empanadas side of choice. My wife chose 1 x Pollo Pulled free-range Mary's chicken, onions and bell peppers , 1 x Serrano Prosciutto ham, mozzarella, garlic, wild arugula and a side of Chimi Papas Chimichurri oven roasted potatoes, spices, topped with aioli sauce . I selected 1 x Carne Sunfed Ranch grass-fed ground beef, onions, bell peppers, green olives and free-range hard-boiled egg , 1 x Serrano, 1 x Hongas Crimini mushrooms, organic spinach, caramelized red onions, mozzarella and a side of Chimi Papas. On any other day in warmer weather we probably would have dined here but it was getting late and the weather was pretty lousy. PRETTY QUICK ! There were a couple of walk-in pickups while we waited but apart from that it was pretty quiet. Florencia neatly packed our dinner order into take-out boxes and placed them on the counter. We paid and headed back to home base....The Eagle Inn. By 7pm we had it all ready to eat on the little table in our courtyard. Of course I brought my own beer to enjoy with dinner. WHAT CAN I SAY ! When you buy the best Empanadas you can't go wrong. I personally loved the Carne the best and the Serrano is always a winner but trust me they are all great. The delicious Chimi Papas with the provided side sauces tasted fabulous. VERY HARD TO BEAT !"

"Had a great lunch here, food was delicious and well prepared and the service was fast and friendly. Was looking for a place for lunch and we saw how packed it was as we drove by so we decided to try it. Service was friendly and made great recommendations. We had seafood tacos and the tropical seviche. The tacos were fantastic, breaded and fried fish and shrimp were delicious and the toppings/sauce were right on. I had not had tropical seviche before, and it was awesome! Made with whole shrimp and octopus it had a very... well duh... tropical flavor to it with nice pineapple taste and very different than traditional seviche I have had. The portions were also generous for the price."
