Great info, Todd. Thanks for the research. Those old notes are gold. I had checked the list of all Mexican restaurants in Santa Barbara, and didn't recognize any. 

Sad that another Starman shooting site is no more. If the restaurant is going to be remodeled, that pelican mural is history if it wasn't already. 

Yet another site is also history as we knew it. The owners of The Red Barn sold out after 50 years, to an upscale restauranteur who operates under the name, "Brothers Restaurant at the Red Barn." http://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-destination-restaurant-brothers-at-the-red-barn-opens-in-santa-inez-20131122-story.html

Here's what it looks like now:

It was great to visit the sites in Santa Barbara again - the courthouse and the wharf at least. I remembered the trip you referenced. Good times.
