Elubia's Kitchen - SB Cider — Restaurant in Goleta

Elubia’s Kitchen is a hidden gem in Isla Vista!

If you love Mexican food and want to try something new, you have to check this place out. Elubia’s serves amazing Salvadoran and Guatemalan dishes that are full of flavor and made with love.

It's tucked away in a small area behind some other businesses, so bring your hunting specs! Good luck! Don't...

Great stuff and a glorious menu offering authentic...
