Corn Quesadilla's rule! They look like fat tacos.
Seating is sparse during busy hours.

Such a warm and inviting down to earth taqueria it's great place to go if you have handicap or children because the dining room is very spacious and the staff treat you like family l I just know they would have the patience for families I love there quesadillas with meat and beans personally you can see how clean they keep the place if I had gluten allergies I wouldn't worry at all about here yeah they just do such a good job love popping in here
I have been eating here since 1983. I have never found tacos that are as good anywhere else. The Moreno family are wonderful to me and all of my family. We love this place. So do all of my friends. The salsa is clearly magic. Nobody has salsa like theirs.
A staple in Santa Cruz for anyone who loves a great taco or burrito. The Al pastor burrito at Tacos Moreno or the bean and cheese quesadilla will satisfy you and may make you go back and order another. Yes it’s that good!
I have been going here for 35 years. This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant. The tastiest salsa and beans ever! My favorites are the regular asada burrito with cheese and corn quesadillas.
A great neighborhood taqueria. I love their vegetarian tacos because the beans are whole. Probably one of the last affordable places in Santa Cruz.
Had the Burrito Supreme Al Pastor and it was hands-down the best! Loved the cabbage in it instead of soggy lettuce. The beans and the beans were cooked so well. Fresh! Fast! The salsa that's given on the side was delicious! Go here! To tick off the authentic Mexican burrito that you're looking for while in Santa Cruz.
Had a veggie burrito and a veggie quesadilla, great taste. My friends had the Al Pastor burrito and they loved it.
Would recommend this place.
Cash only, although they have an ATM (atleast when I was here)
