" I had a mixed experience at Santa Bárbara. The food was solid and decidedly authentic — the flavors were comforting and reminded me of home cooking. The downfall was the service being slower than I would have liked, coupled with the dining area being compact. Such a heartfelt place for authenticity but could use improvements here and there. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Santa Bárbara was somewhat bittersweet. While the ambience was charming, I found the service to be very slow, and there were miscommunications regarding our order. Luckily, the tacos were very tasty, and I enjoyed the flavor combinations. Overall, I'd say it’s worth checking out if you're craving authentic Mexican, just prepare for a wait. " (*Curated Review*)
