The bold flavors of Mexico, an authentic dining experience, and high-quality ingredients. Los Agaves, an award-winning Mexican restaurant, offers inventive and innovative dishes in a warm, friendly environment. Our dishes are always prepared with a simple yet sophisticated presentation, using only the best ingredients. We believe in classic dishes with a creative twist, which is reflected in our signature dishes such as our Los Agaves Enchiladas—filled with fresh halibut and shrimp, red pepper, and onions, and topped with our smoky chipotle sauce – or our Chiles Nortenos – stuffed with shrimp and Oaxaca cheese and topped with chipotle dressing. The many variations of our famous Ceviche’s are also a fresh, crowd-favorite menu item. Family owned and operated, Carlos Luna opened his first location on Milpas Street on Santa Barbara’s Eastside in 2008. Los Agaves very quickly gained a following, taking the title of “Best Mexican Restaurant” and “Best Salsa” in 2013, 2014, and 2015 from the Santa Barbara News-Press and Santa Barbara Independent, and was also listed at No. 64 on Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat in 2015 and No. 16 in 2016 for the United States.
