EXPERT TIPS BY: Geneva Ives
Santa Barbara Local Expert

Mexican: "Sure you could eat at Los Arroyos, but a better idea is to order your food to go and take it to the Sportsman, the epic dive bar right next door. Just tell the bartenders that Geneva sent you."
Take Out: "Check out the daily specials to choose from a rotating assortment of off-menu favorites."

Best for Mexican Because: Los Arroyos has great service and something for everyone on their menu.
Best for Take Out Because: Fresh burritos, ceviche and sopes to go, with an excellent salsa bar that lets you dress your dish to perfection.
