"Rita sandwich has been excellent. I added bacon the second time I tried it but it made it pretty greasy. All in all delicious. Love their menu and food. Very sensory safe if that means anything to you. "
"So good! I'd eat a Rita Breakfast Sandwich everyday if I could. Also, tasty Chai Latte (I added the cardamom and honey.) To find a flaw -- gosh these sustainable cup lids are weird. I know it's a required thing nowadays, but these lids are extra pulpy/textured/rough. I poured mine into a mug for an A+ experience. "

"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."

"The "mashed potatoes and gravy" were both practically liquid. Besides that they were very salty. The fish was hardly seasoned. And the zucchini was thinly sliced and burnt. Everything arrived cold, but I'm not sure whose fault that is. I only ordered here because most restaurants are closed late at night today. I won't make the mistake of ordering from Denny's again. "
