Food is top notch central/south American. Not just plain mexican; great variety and very tasty Almost everything they have is gluten free. Tortillas are made fresh with your food. Don't be scared off by the outside appearance. Small and looks like a dive. I wish they were near my house; I would be there several times a week!
Carlitos Café y Cantina

1324 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, USA
First time here. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful even though it was extremely busy. The chips and salsas were very good and gluten-free. I had the chicken enchiladas. I requested extra sauce and sliced radishes. It was delicious. My companion had the steak fajitas, the meat was cooked to perfection but it was a bit bland. On the plus side they have lots of gluten-free choices.
