Mesa Verde - Santa Barbara

So sad to just finding out this restaurant CLOSED forever since July 1st ???. This restaurant was part of some of the most amazing moments of my life. We always came from far just to come here. We are now moving out of state and it is so sad I did not get to try it one more time.

Truly a tragic day on the Mesa. I am in mourning. The origin of innovative, maximalist, ethnically-informed, plant-based cuisine has closed their doors forever. My favorite restaurant since its inception nearly 10 years ago. When I didn't feel well this food was the medicine I sought. When there was cause for celebration this is where we reveled. When I just needed something I knew would be consistently delicious this is where I would go. I remember fondly countless meals shared with family and friends and always leaving feeling happy, healthy, and nourished. Mesa Verde you will forever be in my heart ???

Amazing vegan location. So much variety with dishes and drinks. Just sad I haven't try each item yet. Staff is super friendly and food is something Amazing! Love the location easy parking in front and earth inspired chill interior design worth it for the trip alone. Cute dog prints along the floor as a cute bonus. ?? Vegetarian options: A lot of choices for once ? Wheelchair accessibility: Smooth flooring and no stairs

Whether you're a vegan or not, you're going to love this place! My boyfriend and I spent two and a half hours enjoying every morsel of food, and I can't stop thinking about it. The food here is truly some of the best I've ever had. Every dish was zesty and mouthwatering, making it hard to choose a favorite. The atmosphere is bright yet private with natural light pouring in through the big windows and plenty of space throughout the dining area. Also, I highly recommend ordering tea. It comes in an individual-sized teapot with honey and milk on the side. I had the chai, and my boyfriend had the herbal coffee. Both were so delightful! The tea alone is worth the visit. Mesa Verde has a real homecooked meal feel as everything is made in-house, including the tea! Service was excellent, and the food came out surprisingly fast. Don't skip dessert; trust me, you won't regret it. To top it all off, I just found out they have a Michelin star too! That makes so much sense. This place is a gem and definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend! I seriously can’t get enough of it.

Completely vegetarian. Loved the food options. Service was great. Please check it out !
