Tacos Moreno - Santa Cruz

Burrito supreme al pastor TOP NOTCH. Cash only. Glad I had it.

Real Mexican fare heavy on taste. The birria quesadilla was stuffed with savory meat—way too much to eat in a single meal. Unfortunately the al pastor was overcooked and dry.

This used to be THE place in Santa Cruz if you wanted a great taco but an even better place for a burrito. Sadly, time has apparently worn down this place. There used to be a long line in front of this taco shop, not now. I fondly remember a special spice mix that made my mouth water for more and kept me coming back. No more. Now the Pollo burrito is bland and the Pollo awash in over cooked soup. The carnitis is dry and salty. What happened? This review is unpleasant for me to right because I used to LOVE this place. However, I have been there three times recently with the same mediocre results. Finally, two big burritos and two cokes will cost you around $30. Wow!

I used to go here all through high school and we decided to take a trip memory lane. The food was meh, definitely not what it used to be. I was disappointed but not enough to write a 1 star review. What made me had to get on here is that they are using prepackaged guacamole! Really?? I just can let that go…

Excellent (albeit simple) vegetarian burrito. Homemade salsa is the best. Spicy.
