“ This restaurant is just amazing! They are very nice people especially lupita she is so amazing! The food there is delicious and the prices are very great! The restaurant is clean and just overall if I could I'd give them a 10. ”
“ Real mexican food good service chips and salsa bar pastor and carnitas very good love it ”
“ This place is great!! I love the food here. I appreciate the kind lady that helped me at the front desk today :) she made everything right! My opinion about this place: the rice and beans are better tasting than taqueria Santa Cruz BUT the salsa is just okay. I think if this place had a more memorable salsa it would be the top spot in town. People go to taqueria Santa Cruz because of the green salsa, tho the rice and beans are not very seasoned. All in all, great service ! Great food! Would be top in town if there was a more, meet in the middle salsa. They only have a mild one that doesn't have a lot of flavor or a super spicy one. But if there was something flavorful with a little kick it would be the best in town. :) ”
“ The staff here are always on top of it and they truly have the best breakfast burritos in town! I would go here every day if my wallet permitted! ”
“ Visiting Santa Cruz for the weekend and tried this spot. Quite good and very friendly staff. Food came out pretty quick too so great service as well. Solid salsa bar also and grabbed me a Mexican coke. The burrito was MASSIVE. I don't think I finished it all although i wish i cold because the pastor and salsa and all the ingredients made it taste fantastic. Nice little spot to grab a bite ”
“ I had the Chile relleno, rice and beans and a carnitas taco! It was delicious. The taco was huge!! Packed with triple the usual street taco serving size of carnitas. The service was great and she was friendly. I'll be back for sure! Their salsa bar was fresh and had everything from mild to habanero spicy and the pico de gallo was fresh and crunchy still. That's a good salsa!! Limes, radishes Chiles and escabeche were also at the salsa bar. The chips were homemade and extra crispy too. They had the futbol game on and the ambiance was like a normal taqueria. It felt like home. ”
“ LOVE Freshly grilled fish Huge portions. One taco would've been enough for me. Quick walk from Whalers car wash. LIKE Fish and shrimp tacos were decent. Salsa bar and freshly made chips. MEH Not particularly flavorful. I'll try the meat next time. ”
“ The food is so good Iove the tacos the tacos are amazing delicious and they add a lot of meat they are the best I would recommend the Carne Asada Super Taco ”
“ This was the second stop on our impromptu taco tour through Santa Cruz. Tacos were delicious and the meats were nicely seasoned on each respective taco. We had asada, Al pastor, carnitas and chicken. Their salsa bar was okay. Love the pickled carrots and jalapenos, but the salsas needed more flavor. The fresh tortilla chips were warm and perfectly salted. Service was friendly and quick and the place was clean. It was raining pretty good, and the ceiling had a leak over our table. But we didn't let a little drippy drip ruin great tacos and an ice cold Mexican coca cola! ”
