Great little hole in the whole for traditional taco, burritos, tortas etc. They have a tv on blaring UNO Vision while you wait for your order. Reasonably priced. They have a little salsa bar to spice up your order.

I love this restaurant mainly for their huge burritos. My personal favorite is the Carne Asada burrito supreme. Price is right and delicious. The workers are friendly and quick. My go-to Mexican restaurant for a delicious huge burrito. :) Restaurant can look a little run down, but that doesn’t bother me. Hopefully, they’ll improve it because it’ll bring in more business.

I had a pastor burrito and tres leches cake. They were both excellent. Such a good bang for the buck. The burrito was packed full of meat, rice, guac and flavor. I can totally taste that they recently cooked the meat. It was very good. The cake was ok, nothing special, but still pretty good. The best thing about the place is the price; everything is very cheap. It’s definitely not romanitc, so don’t take your lady there. just go there if you need some good mexican food. Spare the trip to taco bell and go here.

When the boo and I don’t want to spend a fortune on dinner but really want to eat good, Santa Cruz never seems to fail. I usually get the children’s plate of tacos de asada which is more than enough for me! The menudo is delicious as well. For $ 15 you can get a pound of carnitas and A LOT of tortillas. Good for a quick dinner if you don’t feel like cooking at all! They have a few different kinds of salsa to choose from as well as the chile vinagre(pickled peppers).

The food is great and the people are nice. It’s cleaner on the inside than it looks on the outside. I like the funkiness. Its cafeteria style home made taco truck food.

I just moved down the street from this place and had to check it out. I ordered a couple of beef tacos last night and was happily impressed. I have a serious dairy allergy and they assured me there was no risk on my order. The tacos were priced perfectly and tasty to boot, fresh lime and cilantro made it. I will absolutely be back.

I was told to come here by a freind of mine, i ordered: Chicken tamale, 3 tacos, carna asada, and carnitas, and horchata. Tamale was dry and bland Carnitas was bland and dry Horchata tasted like sweet milk the asada had a good flavor the customer service was good, and food was ready semi fast… maybe i just came on a bad day i will try it again hopefully update my review…

Great little hole in the wall that I can walk to from home! I tried the tamales(pork and chicken) and they were pretty tasty, but the star of the menu was the tacos(I stole a few bites from my hubby), for a measly $ 1.25 a piece! For $ 10 we could get 8 tacos, and for a buck or 2 more a delicious mexican beverage(sugar sodas, Jarritos, and it looked like they may have had horchata also). The(pics of) chili rellenos looked wonderful also. Try the spicy/creamy avocado dip in the cooler, it has the perfect kick. Also quite a few salsa/hot sauce options in the cooler and in squeeze bottles, as well as pickled peppers. If you are getting food to go, don’t forget to grab the condiments too!

Great taco’s at a great price. As the other reviewer said, green salsa is amazing. All the taco’s were delicious. My wife and I will be back for our taco fix I’m sure.

Behind the store is the Santa Cruz Taqueria. Authentic and delicious. Try the carnitas, asada and fish tacos. So yummy. Fresh green salsa in the cooler is the bomb. Atmosphere leaves something to be desired but grab your tacos to go you won’t be disappointed.
