Lilly's Taquería

Santa Barbara


There’s almost always a line roping around this downtown taco shack at lunchtime. But it goes fast, so you’d best be snappy with your order – the adobada (marinated pork) and lengua (beef tongue) are standout choices. Second location in Goleta, west of the airport, off Hwy 101.
