Altamirano's Mexican Grill - Goleta

There are 11 different meat options available at this restaurant. I have tried them all separately inside the large quesadillas. Here are my ratings: Adobada (Marinated Pork) 10/10, Cabeza (Beef Head) 9/10, Chorizo (Pork Sausage) 8.5/10, Carnitas (Pulled Pork) 8.2/10, Birria (Beef Stew) 8/10, Lengua (Beef Tongue) 7.5/10, Tripas (Beef Stomach) 7.3/10, Buche (Pork Stomach) 7/10, Vegetarian (zucchini, tomato, peppers, mushrooms, onions) 6.5/10, Asada (Beef Steak) 6.5/10, Pollo (Chicken) 6/10, Chicharrón (Fried Pork Skin) 5.5/10. I recommend ordering the Adobada when you get tacos, tortas, nachos, quesadillas, etc. As for the drinks, here is how I rate them: Piña Colada 8/10, Jamaica 8/10, Tamarindo 7.5/10, Horchata 7/10, Michelada 5/10, Orange Juice 4/10, Coffee 2/10. I have always received good service and enjoy the chips and salsa that are provided after I sit down. I appreciate that this place stays open 2 hours later than other Mexican restaurants in Old Town.

Great spot! I'll definitely be back to try more options off of their massive selection of menu items. at his time around I got the Enchiladas de Mole: chicken enchiladas blanketed in a sweet chocolate sauce, with guacamole, sour cream, rice, and beans on the side. D E L I C I O U S ! I'm. huge proponent of sweet and savory combinations, and just absolutely loved the balance of flavors in this dish. So good. Honestly I might come back just to order the same thing because WOW. Other than that, the restaurant itself is very homey, decorated beautifully, and has a great family vibe. I knocked off a star because it took over half an hour for my food to come, and the chips I got on the side were a bit stale. Otherwise a great establishment!

The most positive aspect of our meal at this restaurant was its affordability. We ordered enchiladas and a chimichanga. Unfortunately, my wife became ill after eating half of her meal and had to discard the rest. I hurriedly finished my food due to hunger, but now feel nauseous and disappointed in myself. Leaving the nausea aside, the Mexican cuisine served here is comparable to what one might expect from a diner in Wisconsin, prepared by someone named Kyle who is unfamiliar with fresh California avocados. The beans lack flavor and the tortillas have the texture of thawed frozen flour. I have had tastier leftovers from Chipotle that caused less digestive distress than this meal. The taste, lack of creativity, and overall poor quality of the food here is something I could never recreate, even if I attempted to do so.

Great food at a great price. I got the Alambre with mixed beef chicken last night and it was awesome! Wife got the Camerones de diabla and our girls got the beef casa dia and loved it. Great food at a great price.

I came here for dinner and got the mole enchiladas, camarones a La Diabla, and some cabeza tacos. Everything was so tasty and amazing! The mole enchiladas camarones a La diabla came with rice and beans. Both were filling and flavorful. The shrimp was soaked in spicy sauce with actually had a good little spicy kick. The cabeza tacos were juicy and good. I usually get these tacos for my dog as well and he loved the meat. Definitely coming back here!
