Super Cucas

Super Cucas has amazing vegan options… obviously beans, rice, and guacamole, but then also they have plant-based meats like soyrizo, soya chicken, and soya beef. It’s all perfectly done classic California style Mexican food. Good vibes at the downtown location too, it’s nice to sit outside. And they have groceries and fresh produce.

I don't know how I missed trying this place for so long. It is sort of a "hidden gem," so maybe that's my excuse. It isn't often that a hidden gem keeps winning Best Of awards year after year, especially in a foodie town like Santa Barbara. Super Cucas has a long, well-earned, string of those Best Ofs. My fiance had beef enchiladas and loved them. I went with the shrimp super plate and it was simple but perfect. Rice, grilled fresh vegetables, and grilled shrimp. Absolutely delicious. The service was friendly, the prices are great, and you can even buy all of the ingredients to take home from their market and make your own creation. It's a winner.

Love them & they have ginormous portions! I go a lot. They're all so very kind & helpful. They also have a small butcher section with some veggies. Different drinks to go and some somewhat knots. The picture only shows half of my burrito. 🙊 The seating is outdoors with an umbrella seat or in a loosely enclosed area. There is a bathroom but no handicap bathroom. Tables are handicap accessible.
