Mesa Verde Restaurant
This vegetarian spot offers up organic dishes with locally sourced ingredients. You can play it safe and order the California salad or hummus plate, or take a risk with some more outlandish items -- like the Rajas Tacos: poblano peppers, black beans, butternut nacho cheese, and pickled carrot.
Featured In
A vegan restaurant that highlights the cuisines of Spain, Sicily, North Africa, and the Middle East, Mesa Verde uses only organic produce from Santa Barbara’s farmers market. The warm hospitality will make you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door, so settle in on the garden terrace or enjoy the views of the open kitchen. If the restaurant’s Michelin status is any indication, you’ll want to try one of everything. But if that’s not possible, start out with the Brussels Mushroom Tacos or the Mediterranean Bowl with falafel, quinoa tabbouleh, hummus, grilled flatbread, pickled beets, sun-dried olives, cucumber, and cashew yogurt. A selection of beer and wine by the bottle and glass are also available.
