In December 2011, Cielito took its place as a proud member of the Santa Barbara community, providing a home for locals and a destination for travelers.
With an emphasis on the tapas style dining experience, our menu is designed to showcase an innovative take on the flavors of Mexico and Latin America – using the freshest and most sustainable of Central Coast ingredients.
As the culture of dining in Santa Barbara and beyond has evolved, so have we. Cielito’s menu reflects our ongoing exploration of emerging influences and keeps time with the culinary heartbeat of our loyal guests.
At Cielito we understand that whether it be a meal or a celebration it is best enjoyed amongst friends in a beautiful setting, and that dining out shouldn’t have to mean sacrificing healthy choices for decadent flavors. This notion is part of what makes our Executive Chef and Nutritional Alchemist, Kurt Steeber a remarkable steward for Cielito’s journey into our fourth year.
