Taqueria Vallarta

Excellent fast friendly service. The food came out fast, surprisingly well wrapped and hot!
I had a carne asada burrito and would highly recommend it - very tasty!
Location was clean and relaxing. I love the music they were playing, it really brought me back to when I was a kid eating Mexican food with my mom… Check this place out! They have plenty of vegetarian options as well as carnitas etc.

The best of the best quesadillas and tacos the same flavor
Delicious

One of the things I miss terribly in Colorado is good Mexican food. There are many good taquerias in Santa Cruz, but this is my favorite. Everything is fresh, the beans are cooked fresh after soaking, freshly squeezed jugo de naranja, outstanding salsa bar. The food comes out fast, hot and muy sabroso

Stumbled upon this place after dropping off the kids at the boardwalk. I ordered the super taco pollo asado and it was almost more than I could eat. Chicken was tender, slightly spicy and very yummy. And the service was really fast. Definitely coming back.

One of the best taqueria's in town. Love the burritos and nachos.

Great people and even better food! Go see for yourself!

Al Pastor and Fish Tacos are soooooo delicious! Carne Asada and Grilled Pollo are not bad too. Definitely coming back again!

I went there to have lunch. Choose a burrito. You can't go wrong. There is a children's menu. Delicious cooling drinks

Very tasty burrito, tacos and quesadilla.

GREAT FOOD, NICE SERVICE, FRIENDLY PEOPLE.
SALSA BAR HAS VERY TASTY SALSAS AND PICKLED VEGATABLES WITH JALAPEÑOS.
I ORDERED 2 CHILE RELLENO PLATE. IT WAS PLENTY FOOD.
I TRAVELED FROM SAN PABLO CA ALL THE WAY TO SANTA CRUZ TO EAT THIS GREAT FOOD.

Very yummy. We got the burritos, and the enchilada/taco combo. I loved the rice and beans. They were really good and not salty. Chicken enchilada was not bad, asado taco was great!!

This was the best burrito (I'm a vegetarian) I have ever eaten. And it just got better from there... The salsa at the bar, the chips...just phenomenal.

Decided to get a flan for dessert because hey, everything else has been so great... And yes, it did not disappoint!

Authentic, unassuming place, with incredible food

Awesome place, open til 11, not just til 9 or 10 like most places in Santa Cruz. Amazing michaldas.

This was a favorite haunt when I went to grad school at UCSC in 2008. Solid burritos, but it's the pico de Gallo that is just to die for. For me, no other Mexican place measures up.

Fast and friendly service!!!
We always order way too much and couldn't stop eating! It was SO good!
Reasonable pricing too!

The biggest chile relleno I've ever seen and my shrimp fajita was great but too much food for 1 person. Great friendly service. Highly recommend but come hungry or with a cooler for leftovers.

My favorite taqueria in town!!!❤

Super kind people. Dog friendly. Alot of bang for the buck, great quality, lots of good salsas. I got a super chicken burrito and jamaica for 12 bucks and it was as big as my dog. He actually got scared when he saw it. I ate the whole thing and passed out. When I woke up the next day my dog was worried about me. The best in Santa Cruz, so far.

Excellent service got the tacos de Lenny’s and era nut bueno

Amazing tacos!! The shrimp, al pastor and the carne asada was soo good. And definitely filling! Gotta eat them quick for take out, or it gets soggy. And the chips they gave were really really good too!!
