The food here was amazing 10/10 and the prices were reasonable.
I am vegetarian and I was worried that they may not have anything and when I was they had an entire section that was vegetarian I was so excited.
I ordered the Las Palmas Veggie Burrito and it was delicious. At first I did not think I would like having sprouts in a burrito but it turned out to be really good. I added some of their red salsa on the side and that stuff is spicy. Like actually spicy spicy.
Next time I am in Santa Cruz I will definitely go back.

The crunchy tacos were the highlight! A family owned place since 1955! Free parking.

Very rude, discriminative and hostile. I came here because of the tik tok reviews were amazing. We go inside to order as we’re looking at menus we ask for a bathroom and older man tells us rudely “no bathrooms inside you need to walk down to the bar for a bathroom. We are not from the area there was no bar site. After not having anything to eat all day we order our food a burrito and two tacos, the total came out to 32$. I feel as through it was assumed we weren’t there to eat and that is why we were giving the response. Here is the catch “there’s a sign that reads “bathrooms are for customers only”. We are paying customers and we even left a tip!!! So why were we refused a restroom??? I will not be coming back here. The food was meh I had a better street burrito/ taco stands and phenomenal service.

Las Palmas Taco Bar is easily one of the best places for authentic Mexican food in Santa Cruz. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the welcoming, casual vibe that makes it perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed meal with friends. The staff is friendly and efficient, and even during busy hours, service is fast and smooth.
The food is what truly makes this spot shine. The tacos are fresh, flavorful, and packed with high-quality ingredients. The carnitas taco is melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the fish tacos are perfectly seasoned with a crisp finish that adds just the right amount of texture. Every bite feels like a taste of Mexico.
One of my favorite features is the salsa bar. It’s loaded with options so you can customize your meal exactly how you like it. Everything tastes homemade, from the bright, tangy salsas to the rich, smoky varieties. It’s the kind of detail that takes the experience to the next level.
Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which makes Las Palmas an easy choice whether you’re a local or just visiting Santa Cruz. And here’s a tip: do not skip the super burrito. It’s huge, packed with flavor, and absolutely delicious.
Bottom line: Las Palmas Taco Bar is a local favorite for a reason. Great food, great value, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again. If you’re in Santa Cruz and craving authentic Mexican flavors, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Don’t let the nondescript looking food fool you. This is Americanized Mexican fast food at its finest. If you took Taco Bell’s menu, raised the prices by 50%, and made everything five times better this is what you would get. Half the menu is either vegan or can be ordered vegan. Family owned, too. Sometimes when I visit Santa Cruz this is exactly what I need and nothing else will do.
Plenty of outdoor seating and just a 5-minute walk to either the Santa Cruz Beach boardwalk or the Santa Cruz municipal wharf.

Love at first site. I got #4 (two chill rellenos) with beans and rice, amazing!! It came with 3 corn tortillas. I ate at the pier, the Togo container is a plate, which is fine. Could have had a little more spice, but I would return to try more food. Very nice customer service! Clean! Water available while you wait for meal. The cold corona looked so good. But I was eating dinner on the pier.

Delicious!! Great food, reasonable prices. I tried the beef enchilada plate with rice and beans. The enchilada saice was very good. I love green salsa. Staff is soo friendly, the gentlemen was kind enough to get my order started a few minutes before they opened. I really appreciated that. It was nice sitting outdoor patio in the warm sun.
