Food Scene

Hands down the best Mexican food in Santa Barbara, a bit on the high end but quality of ingredients comes through. Also, they serve a great Mexican style breakfast!

Mitchell Sjerven is one of the most talented restauranteurs in Santa Barbara. He also has the Wine Cask which is great, but I prefer Bouchon, very high quality California cuisine.

Amazing venue, open air, small enough to be intimate, big enough to get huge acts. And I know how to get great tickets as a local. I might be able to hook you up.

Best Surf Shop in town, started by legendary Renny Yater who has been shaping surfboards and Santa Barbara for 50 years. Good spot for all things for the beach, from a towel to a 2k board or rentals.

At the end of Tunnel, great walk/hike, if there's water then you can hike up to a series of pretty pools and waterfalls (seven falls). But--be prepared and hike smart, i.e., water, good shoes, phone.

Drinks & Nightlife

Best fish, best views (you can see the urchin boats unloading right there) and a real local favorite even though many travelers discover it. Get there early, though, there's always a wait.
