"You’ll find no shortage of tourist-clogged restaurants in Santa Barbara and La Super-Rica is one of them. Thanks to Julia Child proclaiming this order-at-the-counter Mexican spot as her favorite restaurant in America, you can come here almost every day of the week and find lines around the block. The good news is that the hype is real—the food here is worth the wait. It’s hard to go wrong with any of their tacos or chicken suizas, but if you don’t order the Super-Rica Especial (basically a giant plate of chilies, cheese, and marinated pork), don’t bother coming.
