Wow! Amazing food, muy delicioso! Had the enchiladas with red sauce plate. These enchiladas were STUFFED with chicken and came with some of the best guacamole I think I’ve ever had. Super fast and very friendly service!

glad to find this taqueria centrally located. it’s clear the Spanish-speaking locals come to this place! I ordered a sopa & found the pork a bit bland for my tastes (but now that I think about it, I might have ordered carnitas instead of al pastor but I don’t think I did..) I had a veggie burrito alongside it & it definitely had too much cheese. It was decently sized. They do get extra points for the variety of salsas! There were at least 6, 2 types of which I had never tried before – while decent, nothing to write home about other than the variety. at the end of the day, I like this place as it didnt break the bank w acceptable quality in a good location w indoor seating (if you’re looking for this). I did see a taco truck maybe a block or two away & really curious how it compares!

What I expect from a Taqueria with a bonus! Big portions, good food, small dining area. Bonus is that the people behind the counter are awesome and having a dairy issue they can accommodate. They know what’s in the food and how it’s prepared. Did I mention it’s fast! So if you have a dairy issue but want real food, stop by here.

We come here on a regular basis and we love the food. Staff is very friendly too. Also there is no filter on the food. It was very fresh and yummy.

6 star service, food is on the same level of Los Pericos. Very filling and a great spot to go if you’re feeling like Mexican food.

Stopped by for some tacos, a burrito, and an horchata. I loved that they give you more than enough meat for what you pay for . The tacos had a lot of meat and were delicious. The burrito was also amazing and packed with meat. The one we got came with meat, cheese, sour cream, rice, beans, and Pico de Gallo. The horchata was also delicious. Definitely recommend them! (Pictures do not do the food justice)

I wish I can post a picture, I order a tacos primo al pastor and I got a veggie quesadillas instead, just 3 little pieces of pastor in my tacos. So frustrated cause this is the second time that I order something and is messed up, last time I order a jumbo burrito and the gave me a regular burrito instead, we’re regular clients cause we live a cross the street but I’m done with them. Paying so much for that is not fair, taqueria santa cruz is way better!!! I went back to the taqueria with my food in hand and ask them to either put meat in my tacos or get my money back and the guy that works there told me : I’ll give u your money back and Said to the cook out loud hey are you hungry cause she needs more meat and laughs about me. No very nice of him when I always gave them 5 or more in tips. Go somewhere else

We stopped by for a quick bite. We ordered a torta with egg and it was a bit pricey but it was well worth it! Probably one of the best breakfast tortas I’ve ever had. I had to review this place before I left because I wanted to let everyone know to stop by and grab a bite. The salsa verde was really good too! Definitely would recommend and I’m 100% Mexican so I can vouch for this place.
