Review by Manley Flatley

September 14, 2024

Sandbar Cocina y Tequila is an absolute gem in Santa Barbara! 💖 The vibrant atmosphere paired with trendy decor instantly sets the mood. I tried the fish tacos and they were bursting with flavor, perfectly complemented by their signature margarita - refreshing and not too sweet! 🌮🍹

The fast service was a plus, allowing us to enjoy happy hour specials without a long wait. With plenty of seating options, including a lovely outdoor area next to the fireplace, it's perfect for both casual lunch dates and lively dinners with friends.

Definitely a spot to return to! 🌟
