Since my wife Sanjua and I arrived in Santa Barbara, our dream was to open a restaurant. Thanks to the support of our families and friends, we were encouraged to open the first El Sitio Restaurant on Salinas Street in 1989.
Thanks to you, our valued clients, we now have three more locations serving authentic Mexican food in Santa Barbara and Goleta: De La Vina Street, Fairview Avenue, and Calle Real.
We invite You – our distinguished
clients - to try our Tortas, Tacos, Burritos, and Specialties.
Our wish is that after tasting our food, you come back to El Sitio!
