10Best Says

Best crowd-pleaser tacos. If Mony's was a high school student, it would be voted most popular. We're a little hard-pressed to say that any one of their tacos is a singular standout, but as a whole there's no safer bet for a group of hungry taco lovers. First, you can choose between corn, flour or hard shell tortillas. Then you can pick your meat. Will it be asada, barbacoa, adobada, carnitas, chicarron, chile verde or pollo en mole? All these are less than $2 each. For a small additional charge you can get fish, shrimp, tripas, cabeza, buche, chorizo or lengua. Add to this a fresh salsa bar, convenient location and friendly staff, and you've got a recipe for taco success.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Geneva Ives
Santa Barbara Local Expert

Tacos: "Visit Mony's before or after visiting one of the dozens of nearby wineries. Your head, stomach and liver will thank you."
Mexican: "Get some fish tacos and pile on the pistachio salsa. Then get another fish taco, heap it with peanut salsa and let us know which you liked best."

Best for Tacos Because: Get a plate full of tacos with your choice of tortilla, meat and salsa for less than $10.
Best for Mexican Because: The tacos are good here, like really good, but the salsa bar - now that's to die for.
