This is my husband\u2019s favorite meal at one of our favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara, Ca. Los Agaves <\/a>on Milpas street. We have been going to Santa Barbara ever since we moved to California over a decade ago from England. Every Christmas holiday we spend about 4-5 days in So Cal to soaking up the sun and getting the feel for the Southern California experience. We always eat at Los Agaves at least a couple of times. The food is traditional Mexican with a sprinkle of California flare. The ambience is vibrant and the staff is friendly and attentive. If you\u2019re in SB I highly recommend this place and keep some time, there\u2019s always a line for dinner, at least at this location. And according to my son everything is good on the menu.<\/p>\n

Veracruzano is not on the regular menu, but on the specials of the day. Since we loved it so much I was determined to recreate it, I did a bit of digging around and discovered it\u2019s orignally a Spanish dish, and I\u2019m guessing bought to Mexico by the Spanish. The sauce has a strong Mediterranean influence with tomatoes, peppers, garlic wine and lots of olives. Of course Mexicans made it their own by adding the essential jalepeno heat and cilantro. If you\u2019re vegetarian you could make it with beans or pan fried tofu. I highly recommend you make this sauce\/ stew because it\u2019s unbelievably delicious.<\/p>\n
