I enjoyed the food here. We had lunch after a shopping spree. We ordered the chicken enchilada combo plate and a torta. It was delicious and was able to take some home for dinner. I love that they offer the pickled carrots. The red salsa was one of my favs there. Its a clean place to eat and the staff is friendly and fast at getting orders placed.

Food was not good . Had wet carnitas burrito with green sauce and my wife had combo with cheese enchilada and taco. The meat and sauces did not taste to good at all. Rice didn’t have flavor either. Bad night out now I’m ordering pizza . After spending $35 for Mexican food.

Quick stop. Food is good. Old building but in good repair and clean. Suitable for families for quick tacos or dinner in an informal setting.

It’s great, esp service. Love the both seating, feels old school. Just not my personal favor seasonings. Their carne asada is well cooked and not dry!! Most places seem to make it dry.

First time I ate here (a week ago) I took out the combo with chile rejeno, chicken enchilada, rice & beans and reheated it at home – it was good, but not great (probably because of the take-out and delay in eating). But the other day I returned and took out 2 carnitas tacos, and they were GREAT! Like $6.25, including chios and salsa (which they toss in for free), plus very friendly service – it can’t be beat! You can eat outside at their counter, or take-out. This is definitely becoming my go-to place for carnitas tacos or a carnitas burrito – delicious!

I ordered a bacon potato egg breakfast burrito and there was no bacon! The place was hopping and the food smelled good. I went basic because my stomach hadn’t been feeling good all morning and I wasn’t sure how any of the food was going to be spiced. I do not care for all regions of Mexican food. It seemed like a sage bet. I thought something this simple would be impossible to mess up. Oh, I was wrong. Where is the bacon? I even pulled the burrito apart at the end to check. Just some burnt eggs & potatoes. I might try them again when I am at the car wash next time? I really don’t know.

So so good, this is real food. Got the carnitas super burrito and carne asada quesadilla. Great potions. Salsa and chips bar, chips make a great addition to put in burrito or eat up the bits that fell out of ur quesadilla. Only thing Carnitas needed a bit of salt but there’s some salt at every table and I prefer under-salted so I can control the amount.

I ordered the Enchilada plate. It came out cold and the cheese inside was not melted. The beans looked really old and no flavor. The rice looked lime it was the only thing looking good on the plate. I hate cold rice and with no flavor is even worse. I felt dirty sitting in the place. I did not have a good experience and never want to go back. So sorry.

This is our go to Taqueria in Santa Cruz for burritos. Their portions are always generous and the staff is very friendly. They are very quick as well! We’re never waiting for food long. I order their already large turbo burrito and add Carne Asada, they always pack that thing thiccc. (Other taquerias have denied this request so Agave has my heart). Would definitely recommend
