    Carne en su jugo está riquísima. Tiene mucho sabor. Carne asada, tocino, frijoles y aguacate. Las trabajadoras muy amables. Bastantes asientos. Food is delicious I had beef stew, bacon, beans and avocado. Plenty of space to sit and parking in the back. Family friendly. Staff works fast, busy during lunch hour.

    This place has bomb tacos! I've tried almost every meat in them and they are all delicious! We stop here for lunch every time we are in Santa Cruz!

    Taqueria Santa Cruz is a nice little local restaurant in beautiful Santa Cruz. The people there are great and willing to help make any accommodation you need. I also love the small authentic taqueria vibe with the salsa bar and tvs everywhere playing soccer matches. The food was good but a bit more pricey than I expected. I loved the sauce on the eggs but felt the beans were missing a little bit of flavor. Overall a nice place to check out and always good to support local!

    Food (4.25/5): The food was yummy! I appreciated the complimentary chips--you grab salsa, pico de gallo, and radishes yourself. The salsa was not stand out but decent. The burrito portion is huge for its price in the Bay Area. Service (4.5/5): Efficient ordering at the counter followed by speedy food brought to you. They will announce your number in Spanish then bring the food to you! Everyone seemed friendly. Ambiance (4/5): It was quite lively, many people were passing in and out & many were seated for dine-in Giving 5 stars because this place is great for a casual burrito spot with a dine-in option
