A less casual counterpart to chef Ramon Velazquez’s other restaurant—the nearby counter-service Corazón Cocina—this table-service dining establishment in the Arts District of Santa Barbara serves Mexican street food and home-style dishes. Look for blue corn–tortilla quesadillas; guisados (stews) featuring pork, beef short rib, Swiss chard, or rajas con queso (poblano chile strips with cheese); and tamales made by Mama Imelda filled with pork, chicken, or seasonal vegetables. Libations include aguas frescas, specialty hot chocolates, Mexican beer, and Margerum and select wines from Mexico. Assorted margaritas and a Mexican Mojito serve as cornerstones of the cocktail menu.
