Fast Food Restaurants near Soquel

“11 pm, store was nice and clean. Multiple people taking out. I also ordered take out from the cashier my order came out in like 5-7 minutes. Ordered 2x mex pizza and fries special. Fries was delicious, pizza was good as well. Price was reasonable.“

“Panda Express – Fast, Delicious, and (Mostly) Flawless

Panda Express is hands down my favorite place for orange chicken, rice, and chow mein—quick, easy, and always satisfying. The food was great, the service was solid, and I was soaking up some sunshine by the window, enjoying my meal. Perfect setup.

However, I ran into a couple of hiccups. First, I wasn’t able to leave a tip because they only accept cash tips. I don’t carry cash (because I lose it, it’s dirty, and, let’s be real, I believe cash is evil). If they could allow customers to tip via credit or debit, I’d feel a lot better about my transactions.

Second, I tried to leave a glowing review through the Panda Express app and website, but both were riddled with errors that prevented me from doing so. They need some serious bug fixes because I actually wanted to leave a compliment, and that shouldn’t be so difficult.

On a side note, while I was sitting there, a guy named Kevin was keeping the restaurant clean, which is great—except he spent an oddly long time sweeping around me and banging the dustpan against the floor like he was sending a message. Not sure if he was mad at his boss, me, or just having a rough day, but it was a bit... distracting. I thanked him for being so loud on my way out, and he did apologize while staring at the floor—so, progress?

Overall, great food, great place. Just needs a tipping option, a functioning app, and maybe a little less passive-aggressive sweeping.

“Had a sandwich for lunch, although the line was long and there were only 2 people working it went pretty smoothly. I would recommend a 3 rd person to help out as it seemed like a lot for the 2 girls. We did have to wait longer than normally. The sandwich itself was perfect, they make them custom to your liking!

Vegetarian options: This place is a vegetarian paradise! No meat is needed on the sandwich and you can pick from all the vegies on display.

Parking: Lots of parking, handicap spaces as well.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp from the parking lot for easy access“

“I was on a lunch break from work today, my route was in Santa Cruz and asked google for the nearest Taco Spot. It recommended me this place. Very nice corner spot and great seating area. I ordered 1 Al Pastor taco and 1 asada quesadilla just to try out the food quality. Honestly the meat was absolutely delicious!!!! Their meat is very well seasoned and the tortilla for my taco is made by hand or how we say in Spanish “Tortillas hechas a mano.” Absolutely fire 🔥 Told the owner “Memo” that his food was absolutely delicious 🤤 and definitely coming back for more when I’m in the area next time! Definitely worth the money if you want quality tacos & burritos, and no more
Taco Bell for me 🙅‍♂️ hahahaha“

“It's an old fashioned burger joint right by the beach. For some it is a traditional stop when leaving the nearby beach.“

“We came in on a Sunday morning, and this place was very busy. The nice young guy behind the counter was patient and sweet to everybody even though he was working alone and getting slammed. The food was good and the coffee was hot. Props to that guy for holding it down!“

“We have been consistently catering food and items from taco bell and they have been amazing at delivering every time! We usually order hundreds of dollars of taco bell for our events and each time the food is impeccably delicious and comes with every need provided such as straws, napkins, and organization! Thank you so much to the staff here for always killing it!“

“Great food, great location, great host. Happy to see a local business succeed.“

“Food pricing is gotten out of budget. Tried to alert them that their bathroom is out of compliance and they didn't seem to understand. The food was good and hot. They weren't going to give me any numbers to call for it so I will be forcer to seek further action thru the courts“

“Pretty good food but wow was it expensive..I was not expecting that. I bought food for my wife and 2 little kids and it was $55. I didn't even order for myself, otherwise it would have been nearly $70. Not exactly fast food prices, but they do give you ALOT of fries so that was nice.“

“Delfina served us in the drive thru and gave us first class customer service with a smile , eye contact and invited us back . The food was fresh (hot) and actually looked like the pictures advertised.My husband and I couldn’t help but drive back thru the drive thru to Thank her and the cooks for their first class service. Best service we’ve had in a long time .“

“If you want a sub or hoagie, whatever you may call it, I think this is the best place in town. Perfectly toasted and very warm, with lots of meat and cheese for sure. Subway subs don't even come close to this level of quality. Gotta try it at least once.“

“Fabulous donuts. There’s a reason this place has been around for so long. My wife and I have passed this shop many times and never went in until today and we have been missing out! The interior is a fun retro feel with a down to earth atmosphere. Vicky was so incredibly nice and made the experience. We will be coming back soon!“

“幾個年輕有為的年輕人用理想來經營的用餐環境，大大推薦“

“The Capitola location provides generous portions of food that is always fresh and hot. You can't beat their $7 meal deal available on the app, which includes a burger, fries, and a sundae for such a low price. Additionally, the service is excellent. I would give them five stars!“

“It was a good idea having KFC and A&W combined. I enjoyed having the choice between the two places or a little of both. I went with three chicken strips and a double cheeseburger combo. Both were hot and seemed really fresh. The chicken was super tender and the burger had a great flavor. The fries were also some of the best I've had in a while. They had a little seasoning on them which tasted really good. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of places to sit but even to go would be a great option. Definitely worth a try.“

“My family and I recently went to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk and we ate lunch here. I had a corn dog and a few garlic fries! Both were delicious but if you don’t like a lot of garlic I would recommend not to order the garlic fries because they are loaded with garlic! Garlic lovers will find them perfect for a snack though!
I’d definitely eat here again!“

“get the #9, you wont regret it and if you're there on a day they have mushroom brie soup, grab one of those too!“

“I know it's a chain, but every time I walk into a Jersey Mike's, I'm greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff who are in a good mood, and seem happy to help me. The food is always fresh and delicious, and I walk out feeling a little bit better about my day than when I walked in. Smiles and good humor are nourishment too.“

“Great first job! Made life long friends. Great for students who need a flexible schedule.“

“I’ve been going to this Jack in the box for probably 10 years now? Having lived in Santa Cruz, for a portion of those years. I would specifically drive the extra 5 minutes to this Jb, instead of the one in Santa Cruz. The food is on par, the drive thru staff is friendly, the establishment is well kept, and I’ve never had a bad eating incident. I will be going sometime this week, for the Gremlins promo. Hopefully it’s as good as always!“

“Good selection of breakfast and lunch items. Seems the prices are on-par with the rest of campus. The store itself has a decent selection of snacks, drinks, and condiments you can buy for your apartment or stuff your face with before class.“

“The price has tripled food and service is great but not for what you get $8.99 for three wings two sides no drink I'm sure you get a bucket for $20 but its legs and thighs
