“I feel like there’s an unwritten bay area vegan rule that if you see a GATS sticker or tag, the place is solid - this spot has 3 so you know it’s real, lol. For reals though this is a go-to for my wife and I, the crew are always so damn kind and they have mad vegan options. Come get you a not-chicken sandwich (don’t be an idiot and come here and get upset it isn’t real meat), some fries with vegan ranch, and any of the drinks- they’re all good. Then post up on the patio and chill. Also if they have the pistachio praline soft serve: do it. Twice. Not a giant menu but they don’t need one… everything on it is good.Dietary restrictions: Vegan / Vegetarian only restaurant, the staff is always on point making sure you get what you ordered if you didn’t want the dairy version (thanks guys)“
“My #1 personal go-to spot in Santa Cruz for amazing flavor and hefty portions, the doner here is the best I've ever had! I haven't been able to enjoy Nick the Greek since I tried Arslans, the difference in quality is night and day.I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone who has not yet made the trip here.10/10, would recommend.“
“I was lucky enough to live in both San Diego and Chico and both cities have a Woodstocks. Now when I'm in Santa Cruz I always make sure to stop by this Woodstocks location to get my fix. This location is cool because it has a large patio with a ton of TVs to watch sports. The pizza is always awesome but remember to get the wildebread. This location is always pretty busy so maybe consider going during the off times.“
“Every dish is moderately seasoned. The best Chinese food I have eaten in the Bay Area (?) so far is actually in Santa Cruz! The scallion chicken is something I, a person who doesn’t usually eat white rice, enjoy the deliciousness of the scallion rice and the beef bones. Lots of slightly spicy ingredients, highly recommended! Remember to look at the hidden menu hahaha“
“This taqueria is a solid choice when the mood arises for a dependable chicken enchilada, or, a flavorful shrimp taco. The staff are always upbeat and on point, no matter the time of day! It tends to be quite busy around lunch and dinner times, however, the wait for the food is never more than a few minutes.Side note: I always enjoy listening to the music that they have playing from the back kitchen! They have some good singers on staff!“
“This place has a walk-up window out front to place your order and a pick-up window inside their enclosed, heated outdoor seating area. Rush hour on a Saturday night, but we still found seating quickly. We had Spicy Dan's and Pad Thai, both were delicious and filling. I appreciate that they are no longer serving beef due to sustainability issues.“
“Dharma's is one my family's favorite spots for a healthy, filling and delicious meal. Portions are generous and the food is always fresh and made with so much care. Favorite dishes include the HUGE garden salad, American Saute' and the raspberry tart for dessert. I always recommend it to visiting friends as well!“
