What User doesn't like about Taqueria Santa Cruz:
Update: beans and rice were not good and my chorizo was burnt. Won't go back and give my money this time. Still fast service though. Rice not that great but the beans were great definitely on point today. Fast service and employees were always on the move cooking, walking around cleaning or serving. Had the super quesadilla and it was super. Would go back and give them my money. View all feedback. What User likes about Taqueria Santa Cruz:
Great fulfillment of comfort food. Well done, very tasty and fat. Also fair prices and some very tempting and exotic options on the menu (beef head and beef tongue and some interesting goat body part I don't remember exactly) 49er super burrito was great and fill. I also loved the Salsa Bar! Make sure to add Veggies elsewhere though! View all feedback.

Three and half stars. Be warned: this is a typical hole in the wall taqueria. If you come around lunch, tables are going to be dirty from previous customers and...
