Rascal's

I came to Rascals while visiting Santa Barbara from out of town on a California road trip. This was my favorite restaurant we ate at!!! I’ve been vegan for over 20 years and tried a million different vegan restaurants, and this was one of the best. The portions are generous so you will have leftovers, which is always a plus! The menu is classic yet creative, I had the burrito and it was phenomenal. For dessert we got the rice pudding and churros which were both out of this world!! The owner / chef was also super nice as well, he came over and greeted us and asked us how everything was which is always so sweet. I will definitely be back on our next Santa Barbara trip, and highly highly recommend to any locals - vegan or not, you won’t be disappointed!

Got the al pastor tacos and a crunch wrap with a Paloma spritz to drink. The tacos are made with soft homemade flour tortillas and very tender seitan al pastor. The crunch wrap was also excellent. Super friendly and chill staff. Highly recommend this awesome vegan restaurant with excellent food, nice ambiance, and great staff.

We’d been looking forward to trying Rascal’s for months, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. For a vegan spot, the prices are high relative to the portions and quality. The beet bowl came in at $20 but was notably sparse, leaving us feeling like we didn’t get much for our money. The chicken wrap, also priced at $20, felt similarly disappointing in terms of quantity, especially when compared to other spots around town. The one highlight of the meal was the esquites—a dish I genuinely enjoyed. However, for overall value, I’d recommend exploring other vegan options in Santa Barbara where you’ll likely find better portion sizes and more reasonable pricing.

Wow. This was a lot better than I thought. Came here on Christmas Day… poor guy has to be chef, waiter, and cashier all at once with no help. Food was amazing. We ordered the Crunchwrap and chips and salsa w/ guacamole. Definitely get the chips and salsa and pay extra for the guac. It is sooo good. Crunchwrap was almost perfect. The impossible beef was soaked with a bit too much lemon juice or vinegar (not sure what it was). The ketchup-like taste stood out way too much that it ruined it. It’s still good, almost perfect. I’d definitely come back again to explore the other menu options. The chef is really talented

Delicious food, attentive happy staff, warm environment with the best music. My daughter was diagnosed with severe lactose intolerance. Finding good places to eat out in SB is hard. Rascals has been a delight to find. We went after her recital to have vegan desserts (the reception after the recital was serving cake with dairy in it). A week later we returned for dinner. It was great. She had an airy delectable chocolate donut for dessert.
