La Paloma Cafe - Santa Barbara

We stumbled across this place by accident, and we are so glad we did! The food was great, the atmosphere/ambiance was perfect! Chef Jeremy made us some amazing food, and Jorge is fantastic!! 10/10 would come here again!! Thank you

I was browsing Google maps for a place to take my wife to eat lunch after her training, decided to make a reservation for 2 at La Paloma Cafe on the patio on a Friday at 1:30. Bobby was our waiter and we had such a great experience! Bobby was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, even made some excellent wine recommendations. We ended up buying 2 red wine blends from Mexico, Inizio and Chateau Domeco. My wife had the smash burger and I had the Wagyu tri tip dip. I couldn't decide between all the side dishes so we ordered both the freshly made slaw and the hominy. The food was outstanding, and so was the service and the atmosphere. I highly recommend Paloma!

Absolutely 100% worth the eating experience. We had breakfast on the front patio in perfect weather A must Santa Barbara eatery

Got the local ahi amongst a few appetizers. The ahi was suggested medium rare which I ordered. It came out genuinely ice cold, beyond rare. They recooked the same piece to well done. Nothing was offered to reconcile their mistake. It was overall decent solid flavors on the dishes but I wouldn’t return with how their mistake was handled. No real apology for undercooking and then overcooking the fish.

First of all the place is really clean , nice and nice ambiance . Our server and all of them are very nice and vey welcoming and warm the food is great and very well plated When I'm in Santa Barbara I'll deffo comeback !!!!
