This place is the best! We ordered the mole, asada, carnitas and quesa birria tacos, so a little bit of everything. Everything was fire 🔥. The meat in every taco was the juiciest, tenderest most succulent and flavorful meat I've ever had, ever. Like I don't want tacos from anywhere else now but here. You seriously need to get in on this.

Best Tacos in Santa Cruz comes with chips! 14.50 for 3 massive tacos!

This was the rudest interaction I have ever had in my entire life. I asked for extra salsa as I have gotten it before and the machismo power tripper only let me have two, in a TOWN full of Taco bars, in fact the one on Ocean street has one. So No i will never go back to spend my hard earned money. On a crappy salsa less burrito again, and I recommend the taco truck on mission street or any of the hundred other businesses that don’t skimp on salsa im town.

The food here is okay, but the service was honestly disappointing. The woman taking orders was rude and dismissive from the start. She overcharged my card and got my order wrong (beef instead of chicken), and when I pointed it out, there wasn’t even an apology—just attitude. To top it off, she told me to make sure I cleaned my table before I left, like I was being scolded. Not sure what kind of customer service this is, but it definitely left a bad taste. Won’t be coming back.

The pineapple spinach drink is so delicious. I love the pupusas and with the cabbage mix they give with it.

Mid level Mexican food.

Best hole in the wall Mexican food in Santa Cruz. Food's is great, service is okay, facility conditions are sketchy. But food always tastes great and I haven't gotten sick eating it yet. Definitely a go-to spot for convenience.

Hidden gem in plain sight! The tacos were absolutely amazing! Try one of each!
Prices and service were great!
Total dive spot, not fancy at all. Feels like a gas station. Not much room inside to sit but that’s ok, take the meal outside on the curb!

Such a solid burrito

Great food! Amazing burritos . The pastor and carnitas are excellent. The best veggie burrito we have ever had. Great service. Friendly staff. This is a walk-up counter.

I haven't eaten here in years (it used to be really decent 12 or so years ago), so decided to give it a shot. First, the burrito I ordered clearly didn't have m ingredients listed on its description (guac & sour cream). 2nd, it was so while greasy even though I ordered a veggie burrito: I was coughing up phlegm on the way home. 3rd, I had indigestion all night and heartburn (two symptoms almost never get after eating). Pretty strange experience. I no longer recommend Jalapenos.

Not recommended!!! the attention of the person too rude to attend to repellents one speaks to them and they do not answer... how good it would be if their administrators took this into account and have come on several occasions and always the same

Saw this place has great reviews. Called in (im pea-brained) and he was articulated and swift while answering all the questions I had. Rode our e-scooters to their location from the Casablanca Inn, our order was ready before we even arrived - promptly paid and enjoyed the environment. Mom in the back cheffing it up! Ride back to the pad, awesome food to eat while watching YouTube. Yes! Good stuff and give it a try. Kudos to the kid at the counter.
