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.

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

I love this place for eat in or take away. Love their Salsa Bar, and they haven’t chased me away yet for taking too much.
I miss them. I can’t find anything even close in St Louis, MO. Just a few years ago I couldn’t find any decent Mexican Cuisine in StL.
11/2023 update – Still Great!

I wish I could take this taqueria back home to South Dakota! The food is so tasty, the salsas and fresco are all fresh. The horchata is Devine. If you’re near to this location you have to stop in. In this photo I had a breakfast burrito with asada.

Got a Al pastor super burrito. Insanely good and all our food came out super fast. I would drive here from SJ just for their chips and their burritos, insanely delicious

The 3 times I’ve gone to this taqueria on mission street the employees always try and overcharge. the first time it was cash so I wasn’t 100% sure,but I came in with card and they still tried to. Watch your total and the charges. good food but not worth the worry in my opinion.

Take this review seriously—I know Mexican food, and you can trust me when I say this is one of the best places for Mexican food out there. It’s almost authentic… actually, I dare say it is authentic. The flavor of the food was absolutely delicious—I loved everything. On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly. Amazing place!

Staff=kind.
Restaurant=Clean. I had a rice, bean, and cheese, burrito. The tortilla was good. The burrito was 75% rice, 15% bean, and 10% cheese. I prefer less rice and more beans. The flavor was adequate.
