Family Fun in Santa Barbara: Why a Taco Tour Beats a Regular Meal Out
Planning a family day in Santa Barbara? Skip the single restaurant and try something the whole crew will actually remember: the Downtown Taco Tour with Taco Tour Santa Barbara.
This guided walking tour is one of the few food experiences in town built for all ages. Kids three and up are welcome (little ones under two tag along free), and every stop is seated, so there's no wrangling a stroller through a crowded restaurant or waiting on one big check. Instead, your family strolls easily through historic downtown Santa Barbara, sampling five award-winning tacos, chips, and salsa along the way — with non-alcoholic drinks for the kids and margaritas, wine, or beer for the adults.
At about 2.5 hours and 1.5 miles of flat, easy walking, it's an ideal pace for families: enough movement to keep everyone engaged, enough sit-down time to actually enjoy the food. Vegetarian tacos are available with advance notice, and strollers can absolutely be accommodated — just let the team know ahead of time.
Beyond the tacos, kids get a fun, story-driven introduction to the city's history and architecture from a local guide, while parents get to relax without cooking, planning, or picking a restaurant everyone agrees on. It's sightseeing and lunch (or sunset dinner) rolled into one.
With hundreds of 5-Star ratings from travelers and tours running seven days a week, spots — especially on weekends — fill up quickly!
