“I stopped by this morning (first time), and ordered breakfast burritos 🌯🌯 to go….OMG!! It was excellent, delish, and one of the best I ever had 😋😋😋…. I had 20 minutes to get home, and it was still warm enough 👍👍👍. Thank you 😊, you will see me more often 👍“

“Was a taqueria I planned for a quick bite but my god was it some of the best food I’ve had. The employee working morning was super sweet and kind. I got an adobada burrito. Typically I am not a fan of spicy sauces but she blended it so well with the burrito. The pork had pieces of skin as well which added more to the flavor. I definitely recommend this place!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 905 C Street Galt
“The Al Pastor Spider Tacos Changed My Life!”

Okay, buckle up because I’m about to tell you about a taco that shattered my taste-bud reality. Santa Cruze Taqueria Express in Galt isn’t just a taco joint — it’s a culinary dimension portal disguised as a humble taqueria.

Let’s start with the Al Pastor Spider Tacos — holy moly, I’ve had tacos from every corner of California, but NOTHING compares to this masterpiece. The tortilla? Hand-pressed and fresh off the comal — soft, steamy, with that delicate char-kissed edge that whispers “authentic.” Then comes the cheese — melted to that golden, gooey perfection where it’s half creamy, half crispy — a balancing act that belongs in a Michelin kitchen.

And the meat… dear universe, the meat. Each bite of that tender, marinated al pastor bursts with layers of smoky sweetness and tangy pineapple undertones. It’s juicy enough to make your soul weep — the kind of flavor that makes you close your eyes, hum softly, and question your life choices for not finding this place sooner.

Just when you think it can’t get any better, they crown it with whole beans — yes, whole beans — adding this earthy, buttery depth that ties the whole experience together like the finale of a fireworks show. It’s bold, it’s messy, it’s beautiful — like a Mexican street-food symphony playing a love song to your senses.

Bottom line: Santa Cruze Taqueria Express isn’t just serving tacos — they’re redefining them. Forget five stars — this deserves a galaxy of glowing suns. 🌮🔥🌟“

“We went in today and the food and service were amazing. It was quite busy but the waiter was very attentive and our food came fast. The food was absolutely delicious. Large portions for a fair price. Our drinks were refilled constantly and the waiter came to check on us frequently. Everything was outstanding. The menudo was one of the best I’ve ever had from a restaurant. Please check out this place. You won’t regret it. They have $1.50 tacos on tuesdays/thursdays as well.“

“La persona atendiendo es muy amable. Los tacos de cabeza, lengua, asada y al pastor son muy ricos. Todavía no pruebo los de pollo y tripas.

Parking: The taco truck is located in a corner lot with plenty of parking between Liberty Road and Elliott Road“

“we really loved this place and will be coming again. the food was really reasonably priced and my fiance said the burrito was one of the best he's ever had!“

“Such good food, nothing I've ordered has been bad. It's small on the inside but it has outdoor seating and the quality is phenomenal. I know las islitas is right next door but definitely try this first. Much less busy and faster service. This is definitely one of those hidden gems.“

“We had our wedding dinner her and just spent our 3rd wedding anniversary we love this place“

“Finally a true Mexican restaurant in Galt.“

“Fastest fast food place I've ever seen. Going in was quicker than the drive through. While there, a young couple came in because they were served the wrong drink in the drive through. The manager came out and gave them what they ordered, let them keep the other drink, and refunded their money. All of this fast and honest service comes at a small price. Be careful when opening your food, it's put together very well and may spill out.“

“Kudos to the blonde that works the morning shift, she had a smile on her face & stayed upbeat while making sure everything ran smoothly!
I had a dead battery 1st thing in the morning and she was helpful, understanding & accommodating!“
