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

Scrumptious. Food was out before I came back from washing my hands. Love the booths and the colors of the walls. Amazing green salsa. My friend and I plan on becoming regulars.

Complementary chips are always great! This place was bustling on a Sunday afternoon, and it had great food. For the prices, everything was absolutely worth it. My partner and I both chose to get super burritos, and we were both greatly satisfied with the portions, as we are both big eaters. Personally, I didn't think this restaurant was extraordinary, but this is definitely somewhere to frequent for a good and fairly-priced meal. They called numbers in Spanish, so make sure you know how to listen for the numbers!

I stopped at this spot because I was out doing storm watch in Santa Cruz... the Mexican food in Santa Cruz is ok.. this place stands out tho! The carne en su jugo goes crazy!!! I loved it! The tacos are mid but that carne en su jugo with some flower tortillas had me smiling while I was sweating! I highly suggest this place for the good service and the chill vibes! Get the carne en su jugo tho!!!! You welcome

Be mindful of the limited parking in this area of Santa Cruz. The food came out fairly quickly and was very delicious. My fish ceviche and fresh avocado paired very well. They serve complimentary chips and include a salsa bar. The Torta gave a perfect portion and burrito met expectations. Service was quick and prompt. The interior is very traditional Latino which is nice in an area like Santa Cruz. The horchata was definitely different in flavor and some salsas needed to be restocked in high demand. The one I loved was not in stock

We come here regularly and these guys are always busy. Locals love this spot. Some of my favourites: soft grilled chicken tacos and a carne asada burrito. Burritos are delicious and pretty big so I always end up saving some for later. I also like that these guys have a salsa buffet so you can make extra salsa to go. Their salsa is deliciously spicy
