High price for okay food Okay food. High prices. Good service and fun to eat outside. Live music some evenings. Great guacamole.
Upscale Mexican A fantastic upscale Mexican food restaurant! Itâs well worth the trek up State Street. Check out the Arlington while youâre up there. However, if youâre in the mood for super authenticâ¦you should probably head to Milpas Street instead.
Great Atmosphere The Carlitos Cafe and Cantina has great Santa Barbara atmosphere. While enjoying State street wander in and treat yourself to a great Mexican meal. This is no fast food place, service is good.

Great food in a perfect location – If you've ever been to Santa Barbara you've probably been by Carlitos. Right across from the beautiful Arlington theatre on State St. it's right in the heart of the city.

Great margaritas, crispy tortilla chips with spectacular salsa, and authentic mexican dishes make for a memorable meal. I usually try real hard to order something new but, if the waiter carries a plate of sizzling faji... read more

I found a tight parking spot out front and did what I thought was a pretty impressive parallel parking job to snag the spot. We sat down and ordered beers, then the bus boy came out with the chips and accused me of hitting his truck whi... read more
Average, average, average and maybe a bit below – If you are looking for great Mexican food this restaurant will disappoint. I ordered the filet brochette, medium rare and what I got was chunks of something definately not filet filled with gristle and well done. It took awhile to find a server and send it back and longer still to find my server to order a replacement. The chicken enchiladas came and were actually grilled chunks of chicken mixed with tomattilos, tomatoes, peppers and onions atop 3 cheese enchiladas that were ... read more
