Cash only place that serves a very limited menu of great Mexican food, quickly and inexpensively.Parking: Street parking and parking lot are free. Can get crowded at times

Had the veggie tacos - I was expecting the same old fajita veggies and maybe beans that most restaurants have; but these were very good and fresh. Excellent dish and excellent portions (3 is kind of a lot of food...)Also had a flour quesadilla which was great.Will definitely come back.

Corn Quesadilla's rule! They look like fat tacos.Seating is sparse during busy hours.

I have been eating here since 1983. I have never found tacos that are as good anywhere else. The Moreno family are wonderful to me and all of my family. We love this place. So do all of my friends. The salsa is clearly magic. Nobody has salsa like theirs.

A staple in Santa Cruz for anyone who loves a great taco or burrito. The Al pastor burrito at Tacos Moreno or the bean and cheese quesadilla will satisfy you and may make you go back and order another. Yes it’s that good!

I have been going here for 35 years. This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant. The tastiest salsa and beans ever! My favorites are the regular asada burrito with cheese and corn quesadillas.Parking: The parking is behind the shop.Kid-friendliness: I have been going here since I was a kid. I have never experienced or seen anything that would make a family uncomfortable.Wheelchair accessibility: It is a little packed in there but they are street level so roll on in! They would likely make room if needed.

A great neighborhood taqueria. I love their vegetarian tacos because the beans are whole. Probably one of the last affordable places in Santa Cruz.

Very little meat on the burrito. Mostly cabbage. Pastor was over cooked and tough.

One of the very best burritos! Definitely get it grilled/dorado. And their salsa is outstanding! Tacos Moreno is the one place we always go to whenever we are in Santa Cruz.Kid-friendliness: Casual, easy to come with kids.
