Always good!

Amazing mexican place to dine after a long day at the beach. It's quick, cheap, and extreamly filling. The staff are kind and the booths are big enough to seat 10 regular sized people ( a bit squished but it's even amazing that a resturant can accomidate very fast for that type of party)

I want to love this place, and indeed, my friend Berto loves it. A little inconsistent but very generous. I really appreciate their feeding me during some tough times. They are one of the few places in SC that is open late. I got some vegetarian nachos tonight but unfortunately they also didn't put...any rice on, instead of extra rice. lol. Which sucks because they have amazing rice. I always get a side of it. Guys are probably tired or otherwise occupied. Whatever. I just can't walk in bc I burnt my foot so badly I can't walk. They do have great, generous veggie nachos. Next time I am getting the burrito. They are super nice people and always very sweet. The music is a little loud for me on the daily, but that's how it goes. A classic CA taqueria. The horchata is really good.

Delicious! Make sure to get the guac sauce! Quality asada...not the chewy cheap meat most taquerias serve. Quality ingredients.

Very consistent

Food is very mid tacos are very expensive. The red salsa taste like pasta salsa. Quesadilla was pretty small for the price $8. Overall not worth it to come here please avoid it very, very expensive.

Great tasting quesadillas, tacos, burritos, tostadas, chilie releno and enchiladas. The salsa bar and free chips, enhances the dining experience. The atmosphere is casual and with spacious seating areas. If you are in Santa Cruz want some great tasting Mexican food, this is the place to go.

It is one of my favorite spots in Santa cruz, awesome food, great price, tons of parking, and fast service. I wish the soda machine was still out front, no more free refills, and I liked when you could serve yourself chips. They were warmer then and not as stale,

We had a meal with 3 adults. You could feel the local vibe. This is a restaurant with a good price-to-performance ratio, and it is tastier than other franchise taco restaurants. I had the super taco, and I recommend this menu. There was a constant stream of people, and many people were ordering food. Next time I come to Santa Cruz, I will definitely visit this restaurant. I took off one star because the furniture and tables are old.

They tow cars unnecessarily and leave you to pay huge bills. The parking lot is spacious and there is no threat to customers access but they tow anyways. Also their food is not good.

Tacos de asada were NOT GOOD . The tortillas were not cooked properly and the meat tasted like it was expired .
