"This Jbox is far superior than the one in Santa Cruz. Always fresh. Rat meat tacos are the best!😎👊"
"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)"

"Hello Owners and Managers 👋🏻! For the past few weeks I've ordered a Custom Pizza 🍕and it's the BEST VALUE and TASTIEST Custom Pizza in Santa Cruz County 🌊!!! I highly recommend Woodstock's Pizza 🍕 to ANYONE and EVERYONE!!!"
"The service was good. It took 10 minutes longer than originally estimated but it was the busiest time of day pretty much and the app immediately updated to the correct time after I purchased so it originally said 20 minutes if you pick it up yourself, I hit purchase and then it said OK it'll be ready in like 30 minutes so that was OK.
That was actually pretty cool because some places they pretend like it's gonna be 20 minutes the whole time even when it's not and then at the end of 20 minutes 10 more minutes now or you get there and you have to wait 10 more minutes.
However, it's the first time I've ever eaten there and I've eaten at six other pizza places on Pacific Avenue first including the Santa Cruz Cinema and this is the first place that disappointed me. I didn't like the taste of either one of them at all. The first one I ordered was wild bread with mozzarella and bacon. The second one was wild bread with wheat crust and vegan cheese and actually the wheat crest wasn't bad I preferred the wheat crest honestly and the red sauce was OK. The ranch was great and I normally don't even eat ranch .
All in all, I will never order the wild bread again ."

"The chicken tenders and fries were tasty and the order size was appropriate for the price, however, the double mocha was not as mesmerizing, I thought I would get a 20ounce mocha but received maybe a 10ounce. Not a good price for what I paid 8.00"
"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."

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 think other restaurant burritos are always too greasy or have an overpowering taste, but this burrito always hits the right boxes for me. Also, their packaging for delivery is always well-mannered; they include a little bag of chips, sauce and napkins. Love this place"

Also, the avocado came smashed instead of sliced. It was pretty off from the description lol, but overall, still really delicious.
