Little Alex’s is coming to upper State Street in the former home of Fresco Café. The eatery closed in Montecito in 2021 after 32 years in business.

“We are excited to announce that Little Alex’s will be reopening soon,” says co-owner Josh Briner. “Come see us at our new location at 3987 State Street in the 5 Points Shopping Center.  We expect to open in early March. Lynette and the Briner family along with the Santamaria family will be working together again to provide the same great food and service that they have provided for years.  We are maintaining our family friendly atmosphere with an elevated look. We miss our old home of 30 years in Montecito and all of the great customers and friends that were created, and we’re excited for the opportunity to serve our local community again. We can’t wait to see all our valued customers at our new central Santa Barbara location.”

They are keeping all of the original breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu items that customers enjoyed for three decades in Montecito as well as some new items including a number of draft beers from local craft breweries and their famous chicken soup, taco salad, rajas tacos, and chile rellenos.
