I’ve been going here for a couple of years now and it’s my go to spot in Santa Cruz for Mexican food. All their meats are good and they are one of the few places that does tripe right. Also, taco tuesdays are huge here with $2 tacos and then you can go get a beer at one of the local breweries. Overall, great prices for great food served by great staff. Definitely worth checking out and keeping in your eating out rotation.

I tried the veggie burrito and chips and guacamole. The veggie burrito was mostly rice, beans, and crunchy vegetables with little flavor. The guacamole was about 1/3 tomato which is not my thing. The chips were very good and the outdoor seating is a nice place to hang out.

Hit or miss. The tacos and quesadillas are consistently good, as is the birria, but the burritos are mediocre - dry, too much lettuce, rice and beans. There are much better burritos in sc!
