What a great dinner we had!! This place has totally changed for the better! I picked up dinner for my family of 4 and we were all very impressed. I had the chicken enchiladas and they were delicious! Kids had wet burritos with the best verde sauce I have had in town. All the food was fresh, hot and well-prepared. Great job Del Pueblo, we will be back.

Excellent menu under new ownership, with something for everyone. This definitely leans a bit more gourmet than the old days, but I (as a loyal customer since 2005) welcome the change. Friendly service, nice relaxing ambiance.

Come here and grab a basket of taquitos de papa's, grab every sauce, and a side of beans and rice. Enjoy.

This has been our family's favorite Mexican restaurant since it opened about 25 years ago. Recently the owner decided to retire, and his niece stepped up to take over running the place. She has updated the decor and created online ordering. The wait staff is courteous and on-the-ball. The menu has been updated a bit and some recipes tweaked too - all for the better. Food is high quality, fresh, well seasoned, and delicious. Presentation of food has been upgraded and is quite pleasing. All in all we are thrilled this place has stayed open and think the niece has done a terrific job in making improvements while keeping all the things we love intact.

Really good. Every time we go the food is great. The decor inside is so fun and colorful! I love it. The staff has always been very kind and helpful without being annoyingly intrusive. All around, one of the best Mexican restaurants, ever.

Delightful family atmosphere, colorful decor, delicious food, amazing portions. 7 of us dined and every plate that came out drew an "oooo" from everyone. Burritos, fajitas, tacos, relleños, jamaicas and horchatas. 4 of us had leftovers to take home. Piped in music had us singing along in appreciation. My favorite was the chicken fajitas, it came with the yummiest chicken and veggies on a sizzling plate, and a separate plate of rice and beans and a choice of tortillas. Wow! Friendly service. We really enjoyed it!

Hadn't been here in a while. The new owner has done a great job elevating the food. The chile rellenos were excellent as was the chile verde. They kept the same decor for the most part. The service was great.

They are very sweet here. Maybe I am just picky with Tacos but they are a bit... bland. Maybe it's just right for the demographic they serve? The service is very good. They are great. I just felt it was more like American comfort flavors in the shape of Mexican.

Del Pueblo Cafe is incredible! Make sure you get the mole, one of the best mole I have ever ever had. It's totally authentic and delicious, the vibes in the restaurant are AWESOME! Super cool art everywhere, with really great music playing. Colorful, vibrant, warm and authentic food. I live in LA and theres a ton of amazing mexican places, but Del Pueblo Cafe puts a ton of those restaurants up for their money in Goleta. Do yourself a favor and definitely check out this place. Don't miss out!
