Stellar service + Good food = Return Customers
Reviewer: Sophie from Santa Barbara, CA
I am a Santa Barbara local so I eat out a lot. I know good service when I get it and Cafe del Sol is where it's at! We had a very honest, knowledgable server who was efficient with our time and made great recommendations. The busboys were just as great - always filling our water glasses, replenishing alcoholic beverages, chips & salsa, etc. quickly and attentively. The food was good - not my new favorite - but still good. The menu has a little bit of an identity crisis going on - steaks, omelettes (yes, for dinner), salads, Mexican food (GREAT), etc. but there's something for everyone! The desserts were AMAZING. Definitely recommend their version of the apple pie a'la mode - wonderful. I'll be back to Cafe del Sol. PS - we didn't sit outside but I would imagine that the bird refuge view from their patio is nice to enjoy.

Great in every aspect
Reviewer: Larry from Santa Barbara, CA
What a great place. They offer great service, great food,and go out of their way to make your visit an excellent experience. The host was the most understanding person we have ever met in a restaurant. New Year's eve he went way out of his way to make sure that we were taken care of. We have traveled all over the world and have never experienced such service.


Margaritas GOOD, Food MEH
Reviewer: M B from Santa Barbara, CA
Plain and simple: the margaritas here are good, the food is overpriced for its mediocre quality. I'll come back only for margaritas. Restaurant owners: please drop the food prices to something comparable to the area's offerings. I can go to Panino to get a sandwich twice as good for half the cost. Should I have tried your Mexican options instead? Perhaps - but if only they weren't more expensive than the other options on the menu. One would expect the Mexican options to be cheaper than the alternatives at a Mexican restaurant. Friendly service, but nothing out of the ordinary.


Excellent!
Reviewer: Madison from Santa Barbara, CA
Our family has been here decently often over many years and has always loved it. The service was incredible and the greek chicken is amazing! It's nice to get to a place that isn't stuffy like Montecito but crazy like downtown. This is a place, as a lifetime resident of Santa Barbara, that I would definitely recommend.


Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
Reviewer: Susi Cherry from Lafayette, CA
Our experience dining at Cafe del Sol was wonderful. The meal was delicious and the service perfect. The Shrimp Fajitas were so delicious that we returned the next night with friends to enjoy dining experience again.


The Most Home Feeling Restaurant
Reviewer: Eric from Santa Barbara, CA
I ate at Cafe Del Sol two days ago and its one of the most home feeling restaurants i have ever eaten. The service of the waiters and buss boys were off the charts. everytime i needed something wheather it be salsa or another margarita they were on top of it, always two steps ahead. Also the comfort of the manager Alfredo who showed us such a great time and the great food.I extremely suggest all to go and to try the greek enchilada. you wouldn't regret it


Best Hidding Locals Spot in Town
Reviewer: Sara from Santa Barbara, CA
With the many TVs in the bar and the AMAZINGLY FRIENDLY bartenders I cant get enough of this place! Dinner, lunch, and breakfast is awesome! I recomend the shrimp bisque if its on specail that day. Also have to try the cheesecake it is homemade and a different flavor everyday!!


Always the Best
Reviewer: Terry from Santa Barbara, CA
We have been eating here since the restaurant was in the Upper Village. Alfredo is the best! The food and service are consistently excellent. I can dine alone here without hesitation. Jack and Emelie Sears pride themselves with quality and a friendly atmosphere. Our favorite place!


Great, BUT
Reviewer: Mike B. from Santa Barbara, CA
Great location, great drinks, very able bartenders. The service in the bar area is on the ball, only there when you want them. The food in the restaurant area is nothing special, good, not very good, overpriced for the quality and quanity. The service in the restaurant was I felt slow and even worse, when our check arrived, it included the order from the table next to us. Our server said he had not caught that and would fix it. That was NICE of him, BUT should not have happened. We might return for drinks before going elsewhere for dinner.


The most consistent of all...
