Deja Vu cafe — Restaurant in Isla Vista

My days of partying are long behind me. Perhaps once a year I do anything fun at all. But I understand the beauty and psychology of late night garbage meals. These folks have it down to a science, and few do it better.

There’s very few places outside of NYC bodegas and Instagram Reels where one can find food this decadent and depraved. Hey Chef! Go ahead and put chicken strips, bacon, a fried egg, french fries, and buffalo sauce into a tortilla and fry the thing. Might as well pour a beer into it too. Who cares. It's not normal. But when they serve it here, I’ll slop it up with a smile on my face.

The atmosphere is distinctly that of a college town whose primary food crowd arrives at midnight. Pictures of a more reckless past on the walls, a digital jukebox (which seems to default to Travis Scott Radio), and employees that are sick of people forgetting their order numbers. Who could want more? The service is quick, and there are multiple burgers with jalapeno poppers just shoved right in the middle. Slop slop slop it up.

The surprising thing is that the value here really isn’t bad. The Gaucho Burger (a real classic) remains around ten dollars, even in these trying times. There’s bacon and avocado on there, which I thought by now would be additions reserved only for those of the 1%. The important thing is that you don’t ask questions, and that you request extra chipotle sauce on the side and dip everything...

I don’t do much reviews but this place is so good The food is cheap the quality is so good for the price I would recommend this place for a late night meal and I wouldn’t go with the competitors (high price wack sb munchies 🤢) that’s a whole different story though i’ve ordered twice from this place and I am honestly surprised that I’ve never ordered sooner their burgers good they have pretty good tenders for the price The burritos like again pretty good for the price I would definitely recommend it if you’re high or drunk or even hungry for a late night meal definitely give this place a try if you’re...

I would give them less than one star but unfortunately 1 star is all we can give them when I call to find out just to reassure myself that they did not have any shellfish the owner or whoever that picked up Said their restaurant named so fast that it was barely Audible it seemed like they didn't understand English very well so I asked if they were currently serving any sort of shellfish and then listed what shellfish I meant the person sat there for a second didn't respond and then they hung up on me when I called back twice thinking maybe it was a mistake they...
