"I rather not to give any star. I paid over 20 dollars for a burrito bowl only with three pieces of chicken meat, under cooked rice and little beans and little cheese, the whole amount of food doesn't even fill one third of the bowl. What a horrible food experience. "
"I was happy with the amount of chicken I got when I ordered "double chicken" Burrito Bowl. The Side of Adobo Ranch ranch is also super good. Tastes like Doritos cool ranch. It was almost $30 for a double chicken bowl and chips. I would order again but it was a bit pricy with all the fees. It was fresh and tasted good at least."

"so so so obsessed with the nacho Nacho Fries, the large is a good deal but only comes with one nacho cheese sauce so get an extra if you can. also, love that I can make Crunchy Tacos into a vegetarian meal by replacing the meat with beans"
"Food was still hot and absolutely delicious. Their new street chalupas are even better with cantina chicken. Their cheaper Cheesy Melt Grilled Steak Burrito is also a good size valhe. And you absolutely can never go wrong with a Cheesy Roll Up. Thank you Taco Bell"

"Crave their ramen birria everyday so good w lil lime. Also got the asada machete one of my favorite hand made tortilla shell you can def taste all the flavors. Also got to try my sisters asada fries are so good they now have thinner like mc Donald fries and they taste so good and huge portion was sent. Will be ordering again and make sure i get a pic this time if they last long enough :D
10/10 will be ordering more "
"Overall the quality was fine but just not that great when there are so many other better Taqueria's in Santa Cruz. Most of the meat was fairly bland, the proportions of toppings to tortilla were just wrong, and it just left a lot to be desired. The Carnita's was probably the best of the ones we got, but it was overshadowed but the insane amount of cheese melted betweeen the 2 corn torillas (what is this Taco Bell?) and the plethora of cabbage. The highlight of the meal was the chips and the salsas. Both were very good and probably would have been happier with just that. I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars. Not neccisarily bad but very lack luster and dissapointing."

"I really need to stop trying the food here over & over, hoping it will go back to even a tiny fraction of edible & even good again. The insane prices for any burger here alone is hard to justify for fast food, but when the meat is severely rubbery, burnt to hell, somehow devoid of flavor, my bun was awful, stale, rock hard - there is no way it's brioche. imo misrepresentation of their products it's a joke. We can find better food at real restaurants, costing half the price, tasting better in every way, & the quality between the two is so drastic. (even frozen ones!)
curly fries still the best + these Pumpkin Spice Mini Churros are ridiculously delicious. Interesting the juxtaposition between those & the burger 🤷🏻♂️
if they weren't one of the only options here after 10pm, I wouldn't have bothered. Would not order again in the future.
somehow got 3 bags of the churros. swear I only ordered 2, so if I got 1 free somehow, that's cool at least ig (but the burger price ruins it)"
"The quality of burgers has gotten so drastically bad over the last few years that I could find a frozen burger for $2 that you microwave and it's better than something like the Classic Smashed Jack™ which is over $8. Even just in the last couple months it's gotten much worse and I don't know why - I just know it's not edible anymore. i give up trying. The only good thing left are things like the mini churros and the 3pc Classic French Toast Sticks ... those are sweets. this was my favorite place to get fast food for decades. idk anymore."

"Pretty sure they use AI images for their menu photos because the food looks nothing like this, not even the same ingredients. I got the Rockfish Burrito and it was huge (yay!) but it was almost entirely beans and rice. The fish was barely noticable, not big chunks like the photo but small flakey pieces and it was very dry and chewy. I ate about 1/4 of the burrito thinking they had sent me just a bean and cheese because I didn't taste any fish or pineapple. There was almost no flavor to the burrito at all and the tortilla fell apart. The Onion Rings were also huge in potion but it was all one giant greasy onion blob. Not really rings at all and a little burnt. Again, nothing like the photo, not even the same kind of batter. Really disappointing and expensive for the low quality food I received."
"This was my first time trying this place and was fairly excited and hopeful to find a good spot. However It was underwhelming. I wish they would have clarified it had black beans, I'm not the biggest fan but that wasn't a big deal. The main issue was the flavor was non existent, it was mostly eggs, and very little chorizo. The burrito is big though. I also don't know why they have you decide what kind of salsa you want if they don't include any."

"very good food! I ate the nachos first and I thought these are amazing but then I decided to have a bite of the burrito even though I was going to save it for later and that was even better! although The burrito was kind of skinny and had a ridiculous amount of foil wrapped tightly on it that was actually kind of hard to take off LoL but It had amazing flavor better than any burrito I have in Santa Cruz and also the hot sauce they gave me was very spicy and different. loved it.
very impressed 👍🏼🧡
My dasher was extremely fast too."

"This California Burrito is the largest burrito I've ever had, could easily satisfy two people. It's also absolutely delicious!!! I love that I could add shrimp. The store also made sure to include chips and salsa even though I forgot to ask, thank you!!!"
"La Katrina is a diamond in a cabbage field. It's one of a handful of the best taquerias in town. Their massive and delicious tortas are legend, and I received a perfect 10 Torta Regular tonight. They send 3 different flavor salsas with every meal; red, orange, green, all super yummy. They follow instructions, and they care about their food.. La Katrina will never steer you wrong."

"Delicious authentic tasting food. The guacamole is fantastic- fresh avocado. "
"This spot has single handedly gotten me through my last couple quarters of school. My go tos are Taco Tripa, Taco Asada, and Papi Chulo. The asada is always well-seasoned, the tripa is cooked just right, and the Papi Chulo is easily one of my favorite menu items...
I’m graduating in a couple of weeks, and one of the things I’ll genuinely miss is being able to order these delicious and affordable tacos after a long day of classes/studies. This place has been a small but meaningful part of my college experience, and I’ll always associate it with some of my favorite memories from school.
If you’re looking for great tacos and consistently delicious food, I can’t recommend this spot enough. Thank you for helping get me through college one taco at a time! 🌮❤️"
