Great Mexican Food!, 3/17/2010
Reviewer: J. Martinez

Pulling into the few parking spaces available, we were a bit skeptical. The building is dated and not much to look at but once we were seated and received our food, we were believers. The food was great all around, the service a bit slow but certainly worth the wait. We were served some of the best chile colorado and chile verde we have ever tasted. Will certainly be back. This eatery is a must stop when in SB for really great mexican food.

It was only okay

Because of the reviews I looked forward to our visit as we were looking for fish, simply prepared. Had the whole fish and the fish tacos. Both were okay. Chips and salsa were only okay. Nothing special. Nothing to go back for. Nice service.

This restaurant is great… The menu is diverse and probably has the best Mole in town. They have homemade corn tortillas and big portions. I have eaten there several times and think this is one of the best sit-down Mexican restaurants in SB (I will continue to order food from there).

Our family eats here one or two times a week, we love it! Chips and salsa are great and the enchiladas are a favorite with our whole family. I love that it is a family run business too. Keep up the great work!!!

Muy Sabroso y El Ultimo Mole, Mole, Mole!!!
Reviewer: Jim Binns
from San Pedro, CA
In the movie "Frida", one scene warned that a wife whom could not fix a savory plate of Mole for Diego Rivera, was in a doomed relationship. I fancy myself as a 'Mole' aficionado and Altamirano's Mole is amongst the best I have ever enjoyed. Mouthful of flavor with a solid backdrop of ancho chili seasoning and warm enough to embody fully flavored dark brown sauce with the surprising twist of raisin sweetness, that makes this Mole unique and memorable. If a traditional plate of Mole Poblano is your starting point, this Altamirano version, should resonate as a brilliantly unique variation. Diego Rivera would have been very pleased and I plan to continue this Altamirano relationship for many years to come. Dining room is a cafe style, clean and features an open presentation kitchen.

Nice experience

We visited this restaurant today and were not disappointed. My wife had the chile coronado based on a review here and was very pleased. I had the chile relleno and tamale plate which was very good, and I also had an outstanding fish taco. We both had agua de jamaica which we just discovered and enjoy very much.
