Lilly's Taqueria

For the most authentic tacos in town, head to Lilly's tacos. Tucked in a shopping center near a handful of key Goleta businesses, this is the second location of Santa Barbara's most beloved and award-winning taco establishment. Lilly's has been serving up sizzling meats on soft corn tortillas to lines of customers for years. There are no chips, no rice, and nary a bean in sight... just tacos. For around $2 a pop you can choose from a variety of meats, including asada, adobado and even ojos. Yep, you read that right! Lilly's proudly offers a variety of less common tacos fillings like eyes, tongue and cheek. Order a few, dress them up with salsa, and scarf them down. (And yes, they do have a vegetarian taco on the menu too.)
