About Taqueria El Cruzero

Taqueria El Cruzero is a clean and friendly restaurant known for its delicious food and excellent service. The super chili verde burrito and carnitas wet burrito are standouts, offered in large portions. The agua fresca, particularly the cucumber with lime, is also popular. The family-run business is in the process of transitioning, with the son taking over while the father monitors and takes orders. Customers describe it as a "legit good hole in the wall" with a true vibe of Mexican culture, featuring bright colors, great table and chair art, and a traditional look. Customers also note that the caldos (soups) are served daily, and the 32oz drinks range from $10 to $20. The overall consensus is that the food is good because they "make it right, it takes time to make it right without more employees." Customers praise the friendly staff, the authentic Mexican flavors, and the great value for money.

TWO DAYS IN A ROW. I have no shame and neither should you.
Folks. I went back-to-back days to Taqueria El Cruzero on MacArthur and that is not a typo, that is a documented pattern of behavior, that is a man who found something and could not let it go. Some people go to therapy to process their feelings. I go to El Cruzero and order the carnitas.
These carnitas are CRISPY in a way that should not be legally allowed without a permit. We are talking edges so crisp they practically...read full review
