Tacos Al Pastor

“This place is the real deal. Amazing food, homemade tortillas. Will be back for sure! $Cash Only$UPDATE: Came back here in May 2024 and everything was as good as I remember. Had the tacos: fish, shrimp, and al pastor. All are served on homemade tortillas, made fresh daily, al pastor on a red tortilla, the seafood on green tortillas. Absolute perfection! My favorite is the shrimp: bathed in a spicy, smoky sauce, is unlike any shrimp taco I've ever had and absolutely incredible! Super kind, friendly service! Lovely patio seating. You must eat here!!!“

“The Al Pastor was dry, I like it aged and dry, not sweet. The tacos were large and with thinly sliced fresh cabbage, tomatoes and beans. The waitstaff was excellent and the chair was comfortable. I am disappointed they didn’t have taquitos and I did not see sides of rice and beans offered on the menu. ?“

“Had lunch with a friend here, we both had s couple of tacos. They were good, great flavor. Not greasy, the toppings were fresh and the salsa was spicy. There was no wait at 4pm, we were able to find a place to sit inside. The man who took the order was friendly and offered us chips and salsa while we waited for our food.“

“They have tasty authentic Mexican food! I go every time I am in the Santa Cruz / Capitola area. It is right on the beach, the perfect location!

Parking: It is on the beach, it is possible to get lucky and find a nearby spot, but I usually park a few streets down.“
