Crema's Take

Deja Vu is a late-night student hangout in Isla Vista that does fried comfort food and casual drinks well enough, but has a consistent problem with pricing inconsistency and portion shrinkage—several reviewers report menu prices that don't match what they're actually charged and disappointingly thin portions for the cost. It's fine if you're craving greasy food at 2 a.m. and want to grab something cheap, but go in expecting variable quality and don't expect your bill to match the posted menu.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Open late.

A great option for a quick lunch or late-night snacks! Prices are reasonable and there are a lot of great options. My favorites are the Gaucho Burger and the chicken tenders.

Great casual place for inexpensive & tasty food. Gaucho burger was good - filling, tasty and well put together. Large cheese fries were exactly what you'd expect - large amount of fries and a lot of cheese. They do make good milkshakes, but it feels like an item they're…
