Catered food for my daughters 18th bday/ Grad party. Service way beyond expectation! Food was so good and in abundance for what I expected! Jose delivered it all right on time, very hot, fresh, 3 kinds of salsa, guacamole that he even brought extra! Limes, corn and flour tortillas, taco veggies, rice (which I’m not much of a rice person, this was really moist and yummy!), carne, and pollo abodabo. We also had churros, and Jose even surprised us with (sorry if spelled wrong) buenalos? The yummy cinnamon sugar fried flour tortilla chips. Would totally use La Cresta Taco Shop again! Thank you so much for making it all so easy and overall GREAT!

Staff was pleasant and helpful. I generally order a bean and cheese burrito from any new place I try because if the beans are good then the other items are also. They delivered a great burrito. A little out of the way to stop by but worth the drive.

We love this place! It’s the best restaurant that’s ever been here! At least in the past 15 or 20 yrs. That I have been a regular in Crest! The food is great and the owners are gracious and kind! They give back to the community! Crest school is grateful and appreciative! My granddaughter goes there! Thanks from a loyal customer!

We love these guys for a few reasons….First of all, we are SOOOO happy to have GOOD food up here on the hill! Second, they are super friendly. That goes a long way in our book, since we run into grumpy people all the time. And, lastly, I like to support family businesses. I don’t mind if they aren’t always open when they say (they usually are), because that’s the beauty of owning your own business. We eat here quite often!

Been going here since Jose took ownership of the establishment and have to say the good is outstanding. Friday nights they even have live music and a great bar atmosphere to forget about he little ones. Support Crest Businesses.

The food was delicious, I had the Carne Asada Torta. The beans on it were perfect and the guacamole very flavorful. It’s under new management, and I don’t know what it wad like before, but it needs a real good interior designer. It’s lacking ambience. I’m sure once it’s gotten a face lift and some interior designing, everyone will give it a 5 star rating.

This place used to be really good, and then they changed management and now the food is the worst excuse for Mexican food I have ever encountered. my wife ordered her normal chicken enchiladas and she couldn’t even eat them they were so disgusting.the chicken was more like chicken jerky, The enchilada sauce was something that I could only describe as a canned runny pasta sauce (my best guess is it was drained from a can of spagetti-os) It was not even close to being enchilada sauce. The rice and beans tasted like they were cooked in a sweaty gym shoe ( my dog wouldn’t even eat them). The carne asada burrito ordered was so small I could put my pinky and thumb around it. It was half the size of a taco bell bean burrito and it was gross I’m 90% sure the meat was old and over cooked London broil that should have hit the trash last week. Of the 5 rolled tacos 3 had no meat in them and the 2 that did tasted like the meat was rotting. We used to go here 2 to 3 nights a week before the new people took over the service was always good and the food was awesome.burritos were huge enchiladas were on point. But Now with the new management and the disgusting quality of the food we will never go back. A good taco shop has now become a disgrace to the world of Mexican food. they have new signs up promoting their Italian catering service? What good taco shop makes Italian food? The quality of the food itself proves that the new management do not care about the quality of the food . They are more interested in pushing their Italian catering than keeping a good taco shop good. I would never recomend this that you eat here unless you want really really bad food that will most likely get you sick
