Horrible service. I called to ask if I could make a reservation, the man who answered said they didn't have anything available and then proceeded to hang up on me when I was still talking. RUDE. we will be going elsewhere.

Ordered the Caesar salad, the chicken reeked of fish, pretty sure they used the same oil they cooked fish in to cook the chicken. The mole poblano was flavorless, straight up sad. It's looked and tasted like they got rotisserie chicken and threw a mixture of Chile ancho with water over it and called it "mole" it was so watery. The side of beans was the only thing on the plate with some flavor It's a cute place but the food suuuuucked:(

El Paseo came highly recommended from a friend who attended a previous wedding there! El Paseo helped host the most amazing NYE wedding for us! From the very beginning, Troy was so easy to work with! He was very accommodating to our plan for the night, and our guests couldn't stop talking about the delicious food! I absolutely loved the setting this restaurant created! We were initially worried about rain, but with the closed canopy they reassured us that rain would not be a problem! The indoor greenery was beautiful! And the historical Spanish aesthetic was absolutely perfect for our wedding! Thank you so much El Paseo for hosting the most magical reception for us!

Awesome Sunday Brunch Buffet. Delicious Mexican and classic brunch dishes. Unlimited margaritas, mimosas, or champagne. Amazing value, location, staff, food and drinks. The house made tortillas are to die for and I loved the cheese enchiladas and build your own taco bar. You get 2 hours to enjoy.
The Sunday brunch buffet is to die for. Five stars across the board.Kid-friendliness: Kids are okay.

El Paseo is a classic Santa Barbara spot! They had nice Christmas decorations that made it feel festive. I ordered the seafood enchiladas which were good. I also liked the three different types of salsas they brought out with the chips. Not the best Mexican food in SB, but worth it for the ambiance.
