Our Beginning
From Humble
Beginnings
Los Arroyos Mexican Restaurant and Take Out first opened in March 1999 in a small 600 square foot space in Downtown Santa Barbara. What started as a dream has grown into something far greater.
Over 25 years later, we've expanded to three locations in California and two in Indiana—each one carrying the same dedication to authentic flavors and warm hospitality that defined our first tiny kitchen.
Tony's original recipes offer a variety of dishes from traditional fare such as sopes, tamales, carnitas and fresh corn tortillas homemade daily to modern cuisine including ceviche with fresh fish, lobster quesadillas, and a variety of tacos and burritos.
