The breakfast is bus, ALWAYS. Lunch, on occasion. But everything else is atrociously mid!! HOWEVER, hands-down, Carrillo is THE BEST dining hall on campus!!!

Probably the most hotel-like dining commons in the UCSB.
The new Portola Dining Commons, adjacent to Santa Catalina Residence Hall and San Joaquin Village, opened in the fall of 2017 and is the largest of UCSB’s four dining commons. Portola serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, Monday through Friday, and brunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday in a contemporary dining room setting, including patio meals with mountain and pool views. Days and hours vary during summer, please check website.
