"This endlessly charming taqueria is a Santa Barbara local legend, not least of which because Julia Child proclaimed it to be one of her favorite places to eat on the Central Coast. With its trippy Caribbean blue awnings and makeshift chalkboard menu, La Super-Rica continues to delight locals and travelers with a vibrant array of Mexican dishes served with supple homemade corn tortillas and tangy salsas. Don’t leave without an order of the Super-Rica Especial, a plate of al pastor blanketed with rajas and molten cheese, and the queso de cazuela, which merges fresh tomato salsa with a melty fondue base. The spot is cash-only, so come prepared." - Mona Holmes
