Welcome to Taquería Rincón Alteño, a cherished piece of authentic Mexico nestled in the heart of Santa Barbara. Our journey began with a simple passion: to share the genuine flavors and warm hospitality of traditional Mexican cuisine with our community.

Located at 115 E Haley St, we've become a downtown haven for locals and visitors alike, serving up made-from-scratch breakfast burritos, perfectly crispy tacos, and loaded nachos that taste like home. Every dish is prepared with care, honoring old-school recipes and the freshest ingredients.
