Found out about this gluten free food truck at a festival in Santa Barbara. Delicious Pupusas. Just like the ones I had in El Salvador!. Their Latin American menu is unique! Must visit again
Great food, the burgers are big and delicious, and they got gluten free options!! Make sure you check them out anytime, nice staff and great place to get a burger (so you don't expect nothing fancy lol)
Delicious! Great broths and amazing pork belly and shoulder. The corn is my favorite add-on. I can hardly wait for the gluten free noodles so I can bring my girlfriend here.
We went to the Goleta location for the first time yesterday for a late lunch. Nieves was the BEST. She helped my wife who is celiac with several questions she had. Nieves even went to the extent of explaining to her that she would have the cook put on gloves while preparing her order. The food was delicious and we'll definitely be back for their chicken and tri tip combos! Gracias a todos!
I hate to leave a 1 star review, but here we go.
Before I continue this review, I have to give them credit for backing their staff. After working in multiple industries where clients are involved with great feedback as well as complaints, they truly will back their staff and see what went wrong instead of taking my word and reprimanding them. My situation on how things were handled and the quality of a product I got was not up to par for what I know these guys can do. Iâve been into CrushCakes Goleta before and ordered food and cupcakes and EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING, but that doesnât change the recent experience.
I recently got married and ordered a DAIRY FREE (not vegan. Not GF. And for clarification DF needs to be lactose free and can have eggs where vegan cake cannot) 2 tiered cake. We took the cake out 1 hr prior before cutting and serving per guidance of the staff. As soon as my husband and I went to go cut into the cake, it was hard as a brick and already starting to fall apart. The cake was inedible, and everyone probably took 1-2 bites before putting it down and not continuing to eat. We didnât even cut into the bottom tier and it was thrown away. I couldnât even save a piece to save for our 1 year anniversary. There is $500+ down the toilet.
We reached out to Goleta store prior to posting this review in hopes to resolve this situation, but not really. No apology. They kept reiterating that they were a small business and that this is never happened before. They were going to meet with baking staff earlier this week, I requested the outcome, and no response. I understand that they are a small business and for a fact that I personally have worked for small businesses before and that stuff happens. They have reviews with similar stories to mine where cakes or cupcakes were dry and/or inedible. We wanted to make them aware of the situation so this doesnât happen again to anyone in the future. We did not receive exactly what I ordered and only received a $100 refund. I asked for ingredient list which was sent over and following in the email was âFor Clarity this is what we follow when someone mentions they are Vegan / No Dairy.â So they make the same cake regardless if youâre vegan or DF. Technically since the cake was vegan, there was no dairy in it at all, BUT since I stated while ordering DF, we were expecting to have eggs in the ingredient list, which there wasnât. Being DF and vegan are similar but totally different. Just because someone is dairy free, does not mean they are vegan and gluten free, and same goes for across the board. We werenât told by time of placing the order that the cake would be made vegan and GF.
In my personal opinion, they should be able to adjust their recipes accordingly to what people as for. Iâve stated multiple times on how upsetting it was for the outcome of said cake.
Hot take: I shouldâve been refunded MINIMUM 50% of what the cake cost, not $100. I did not receive the cake I asked for. I understand food costs and cost of labor, but come on. Do better to make this right. I want to keep supporting, but after all of this, I wonât be returning.
Photos taken are from an iPhone and from a distance, but figure they capture what Iâm talking about.
had a great experience, the gluten free slice was good and very fairly priced. service was very welcoming, was willing to make any kind of slice i wanted for the same price
This place is a favorite when we're picking someone up/dropping off from the airport. Great breakfast! I like the gluten free pancake options, they have gf waffles as well. Portions are on the larger side!
My husband and I were passing through town and stopped here for breakfast. Not only does this place have amazing service where we were accommodated right when we sat down, orders were taken promptly after we looked at the menu, and they didnât make us wait for the bill, but the food was delicious as well. They even have gluten free waffles (rare to find) and since I have an allergy this made me so happy! Wish they had this place back where we are from.
