Howdy's Malibu

My wife and I visited Howdy’s recently for a morning meal. The restaurant offers a unique concept called a "sushi burrito," which is essentially a large sushi roll. We ordered the spicy tuna burrito and the salmon burrito; both were enjoyable, and the sauces were notably tasty. The atmosphere was quiet as we arrived early, and the establishment was very clean. It is worth noting that this is a counter-service restaurant where you order and pay upon entry, rather than traditional table service. Despite this, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, clearing trash from our table several times and checking in to see if we needed anything. We appreciated the efficiency and cleanliness of the restaurant.

This is not your average Mexican restaurant. It's gourmet Mexican food with a family like atmosphere. Malibu vibe at It's best. The lobster burrito is pure addiction. I love that they are happy to customize your order any way you like. Don't try this place unless your ready find yourself driving there (even if out of the way) to curb your new craving.

I bought the salmon sushi burrito again today. I was surprised to find imitation crab in it for the 1st time with little salmon. It is still good, but I would prefer just salmon like it used to be. It was called spicy salmon sushi burrito, not salmon and crab sushi burrito. In addition, they gave me tuna, instead of Salmon. 🤷‍♀️

1st time here, 9/22/25 I had to bacon breakfast burrito, and I gotta say it was delicious! I'll be back!

Great ambiance dining in an open air area with live plants on the walls and glass to stop wind. Food is not cheap, a little more expensive than Santa Barbara Mexican food, but flavors were amazing. Had Horchata, 2 shrimp tacos with beans and rice, and the best burrito I ever had! Price was about $55 including tip. But considering where we were I already expected that! Cute courtyards and live music also available along with some Italian food options or coffee houses. Right...also Howdy's shares space with a Sushi menu. That is unique.
