I went to the one in Soquel with parking in the rear a plus. Best Mex in Capitola or Soquel. Small, cozy and private. Steady business with locals all night. Dinner was Tinga (spicy chipotle chicken) with authentic rice and beans. Wife really enjoyed her combo plate as well. Very friendly and great service. The girls checked to seee if we needed anything about 8 times Thick deep fried chips with pico de gallo salsa but I requested the hotter salsa, delicious!!! I’ll definitely be back again and glad I found this little jewel Parking: drive in driveway adjacent to the restaurant and park in rear. Little grassy park in rear to enjoy your lunch on a sunny day

Absolutely and completely fantastic and amazing food. So authentic and full of flavor! Very clean inside, quick service and plenty of varieties of salsa at the salsa bar. Cannot recommend highly enough! If I could give it 10 stars, I would.!!

I got the bacon breakfast burrito to go and it was delicious! The serving size was huge and I could have easily shared it with someone else. The cashier was friendly and we got our food quick. Will definitely be back when in the area again! The restaurant is also super close to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk so you can take the food to the beach to enjoy.

Susi is just a joy, warm, welcoming, and happy to explain restaurant favorites. Salmon was good, Cameron's ranchero great... sauce delicious. The Chavala is soooooo good, imagine a extra fancy Michelada with celery, orange, and 3 grilled shrimp. Everything was so well priced. They're open into 8pm.

Birria-queso tacos are amazing, but not on the menu. Carne asada was also extremely good. Very fresh and the Birria isn’t drippy greasy - thank goodness. A little overpriced for what you get but the quality is there. 3 Birria taco plate w/rice and beans 2 Birria + 2 carne asada tacos (al la carte) 1 Horchata ~$45.00

I love Mexican food, so it doesn't matter what town I'm in, if there's a taqueria, I'm stopping. Took our food to go. Brought it back to our hotel rooms to enjoy. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and family oriented. Food was on point, good texture, and tasted home made. Kids were happy we stopped in.

Ordered food to go. They were very sweet to take my order 15 minutes before closing. Loved fish tacos!

My family and I love Mexican food and this restaurant was a great treat for us. It was a short walk from the boardwalk so it was very convenient. The food was excellent and priced well for families. We all ordered something different and we were all very satisfied. The staff were warm and welcoming. Very friendly!
