This place used to be great, but the quality has dropped off a lot over the past few months. Every time we order a burrito, the carnitas are either replaced with carne asada or so overcooked they’re inedible. The beans and cheese are never melted, and overall it just feels like there’s no consistency anymore. We’ve continued to give it chances, hoping it’ll improve, but it hasn’t. Also, they never answer the phone. Pretty sure the line’s been dead since they set it up.

Santa Cruz county has amazing Mexican food. we are very very very lucky.
I have two favorites in Aptos and this one is one of them. probably edges everybody out because their food is so darn good.

Best taqueria in Santa Cruz County. This is one of three in the chain and the best of them.

Typical taqueria and the food is plentiful but unremarkable. I had the enchilada plate. Except for the meat, it was the usual refried beans and rice. Needed a quick meal, so not disappointed, but just not super impressed. My wife's shrimp taco were well cooked so that was 4-stars.

The food is really good here. It made my day! Everything else is great too.
This place has a proper wet burrito if you're on a journey to find one that is done right.
The 'Perico' branded/styled tacos are also good, but don't travel well. Best if you eat them on-site.

This is bittersweet. The food is great, but if you order to go (Doordash) they NEVER add salsa or limes even if you request them on the order. It’s been three times now and it almost seems like a joke.

I ordered a pastor burrito and taco on DoorDash I only got from this location because they closed those Santa Cruz one where I normally get the food early on DoorDash for some reason on a Saturday night. A food wasn't anything like it is at the other location.. The outlet store was hard pieces tasted like leftover stuff that was left on the grill It was extremely sweet extremely salty not spicy at all with the Santa Cruz location it's very spicy and it's juicy and plump there.. I kept biting into something hard and pulling it out of my mouth and then I use my camera to zoom in cuz I was actually scared it was a bug and it could have been the meat scraps or uncooked rice I don't know or could have been bugs. just not knowing what it was made me sick. I asked for guacamole and sour cream on the side and normally SC location puts it in a container I got none. I asked for a salsa on the side I got none.. none of that was in the burrito or on the side.. I got no salsa at all on the side to eat with my food. Even though I asked the DoorDash person to make sure they got spicy salsa.. The DoorDash person sprayed my bag with disgusting perfume or cologne- is thing I've noticed some of them do it's really strange but it was so bad it literally gave me an asthma attack. And do it after refused to refund any of it! I even wasted credits I had from before on this order. I had to go and let my food get cold before I tried it when it was not really the realizing I was gross and make my own guacamole with my own groceries which are expensive and get my own sour cream and my own salsa because they had none of that that I paid for.. Seems like there's no consistency at this place. If you try to call you can't get a hold of a human. Oh yeah they use the mini mini tiny itty bitty straight taco tortillas for the tacos at this location which they don't in Santa Cruz and they put much less toppings on the taco. 100% terrible experience. Whoever the manager or owner needs to look into this location in Aptos.
