El Sitio Restaurant - De La Vina — Restaurant in Santa Barbara

A burrito is severely overpriced almost at $13 when all it is just meat, rice and beans. After paying I told them no rice, I'd prefer grilled onion inside my burrito as a substitute and I was told it would cost extra, so I angrily said I wasn't going to pay more for their already overpriced burrito. I was asked if I still didn't want rice and I asked them if it cost less if I get it without rice and they said no... I told them to keep the rice in my burrito since I was going to be charged for it no matter what. The person after me ordered a burrito and wanted extras but was told it would cost more to which they refused. Moments later a cook asked her if she wanted cheese in it and was told they weren't going to charge her extra...nice to witness double standards. This is why I prefer Mexican street food vendors instead of brick and mortar mom and pop Mexican restaurants bcoz street vendors give you way more portions, liads variety of toppings at no extra cost, flavors and bang...

I am updating my review, due to the concern and reply from the owner. I appreciate you offering me a replacement meal sir, but it is not necessary. Just the acknowledgement from you is good for me. I understand that things can go wrong every once in while. Thank you Not a place for me.. Someone suggested that I try them, stop by this morning for a breakfast burrito. Ordered a potato, chorizo, and egg burrito. Looked good and with the first bite of the burrito the tortilla on the side and bottom just fell apart. Asked the staff to give me a plate to eat the burrito with a fork instead. No one offered to remake the burrito or offered to wrap it in another tortilla. Also it was the first time in 30 years eating Mexican food that my burrito had chunks of some sort of sausage and did not taste like chorizo. The meat is always pulled out to the chorizo/sausage and blended with the rest of the ingredients. May be they just put something else...

Very small with a unique menu. It's located in a small shopping mall across from grocery outlet. Lunch can get very busy with to go orders. I had the chicken mixto. It's chicken grilled on a flat top with bell pepper,onions, mushrooms,then topped with cheese. It is served with four corn tortillas and some chips. My wife had the chicken floutas, which is essentially taquitos using flour tortillas. They were ok, very basic. They came with beans and rice. They have a small salsa bar that fits one person at a time. The menu is mainly breakfast burritos,soft tacos and tortas. The have specials like sopes and enchiladas listed. This place does have a following of regulars who love it. Personally I liked it but wouldn't come...
