We were not ready for the phenomenal service and great drinks. The food was delicious and easily marked for gf (perfect for my wife who has celiac). Definitely try the wings with buffalo sauce (the yuzu touch makes it bright and tart), their coconut shrimp (divine and gf!!), and their bison burger (cooked perfectly through and through). Watch the video, see the presentation on the drinks. My wife loved her Mai tai, and my whisky drink which I cannot remember the name of, was fabulous in all the ways. Make sure to ask for Aaron, he was awesome and made wonderful suggestions. And then go for a beautiful stroll down the pier when you’re all done. It’s a perfect introduction to Santa Barbara.

We live in LA! We were visiting Solvang & came upon this resturant on our way back, because of its gluten free options specially the Fish & chips & calamari. I haven’t found many restaurants that offer gluten free versions of these two dishes. The salmon & burger was outstanding too. We really wanted to try the food but the kitchen was about to close when we called. The resturant manager “Carlos” made an exception to still serve us last minute & take our orders. He provided us with 5 star service & made us feel so special & made our night. He is by far the nicest most understand & caring resturant manager that I have met. We will definitely be back & loved the place. Thanks to Carlos!! One good person can make a huge diffrence & we are super grateful & appreciative. Highly suggest this place.

Delicious.. perfectly cook Black Cod. The swordfish was equally executed flawlessly. The cool vibe and attentive service make this a great spot to dine when in Santa Barbara. Gluten free was also very easy to order with many options marked on the menu.

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!

My wife was looking for a gluten-free pizza place and found it on Google. We didn’t realize that we were in an area in Santa Barbara called The Funk Zone, which was a very neat area that was very lively and fun to experience. This place has a walk up window where you order and all seating is outside. The food was very delicious, and it was just a nice atmosphere overall.

Popular restaurant and bakery in downtown Santa Barbara. Great place for breakfast on the weekends. A wide variety of Danish baked goods along with some other non-Danish items. Some gluten-free items also available. All the baked items I’ve tried were good to very good. Depending on the item, you may be able to ask for a small taste before purchase. Many items available by the piece for dine- in or takeout, as well as entire baked items such as pies, cakes, and large pastries. Special occasion cakes can also be pre-ordered, such as birthday cakes. Indoor and outdoor dining available, with outdoor dining being a good place to people watch as this block tends to be somewhat busy with pedestrian traffic. Parking available via multiple nearby public lots off of Chapala Street and Anacapa Street. Boutique shopping also available in the nearby La Arcada shopping center.

I'm not used to eating at Gluten free restaurants, but this place had some surprising dishes. First off, wasn't too excited to be going here in the first place. Not much looked appealing. Ordered the salmon. And I was pleasantly surprised. It was very tasty. Also had this Kung pow cauliflower appetizer (I hate cauliflower) that was so delicious. Wow, so good! Overall, it was a great experience.

I cannot complain, and hope more people start going here. I ordered an amazing Gluten Free Crust, Hawaiian style pizza (The Meigs Rd Pizza. Soft, charred Neapolitan crust with tangy BBQ sauce, succulent ham, crispy bacon, juicy pineapple, and sharp red onions with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro. I replaced the babecue sauce with their tasty marinara sauce, along with sliced jalapenos. You can order their different pizzas with any of their crust options. They also have appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and I think she said they have pasta, or are hoping to start serving pasta dishes soon. There are TVs near the bar area, so you can watch your favorite team. As of now (May 2025), their beer $7, and wine $9 (and champagne) are cans and bottles. If I counted correctly, they have 20 tap handles, but the entire system needs repairs. Let's help them and give them our business, and hopefully they will be able to get the taps & lines repaired soon I cannot say enough about this tasty pizza & great service. I really wish I could eat wheat flour again; Because their deep dish pizza looked amazing, and was screaming my name. The owner said she would like to try and learn how to make gluten-free deep dish. Maybe one day I can have one from them. The server and the owner were both absolutely amazing, and I cannot wait to eat there again. I live 2.5 hours away, and found this place just because they were open late, and had a gluten-free crust option. I have to be down there again this Thursday for work, and I already know where I am going to eat.

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.

The sweet (manzanita) and hongos empanadas and aragula salad are excellent. The empanada dough has all the right firmness, thickness, and taste. This is the first time I have tasted Argentinian empanadas and I highly recommend Buena Onda empanadas. Also, Brandon, our server is very attentive and patient about checking the ingredients for my friend who can only eat gluten-free food. This restaurant really deserves a five-star rating.

I used to come here 25 years ago in college and I thought I would go with my Daughter. I was pleasantly surprised with all the vegan options and you can make it gluten free with a bowl. The green salsa was Good and plentiful. I would recommend if you want a good burrito.

Via Maestra 42 is a gem in Santa Barbara! The quality of the food is simply outstanding (especially the desserts!). My partner is gluten free, and the restaurant was able to accommodate quite remarkably. For example, their GF ravioli was delicious. It was the first time we've been to an Italian restaurant that does GF quite well. The service is equally impeccable. During our visit, the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about providing an excellent dining experience. This is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine. Highly, highly recommended!

Since visiting Oaxaca many years ago, I have yet to experience such incredible moles and foods. Truly one of the best meala I've had in Santa Barbara. The drinks, entrees, and dishes are rich, complex, bright, acidic and perfectly spiced. The moles are gluten free and there were many vegetarian options as well. Took my partner there for his birthday and were blown away by the incredible service and taste.
