Taqueria Santa Cruz Express Broad Reviews
Amazing everything!!! We had the carne asada tacos, menudo, and ceviche tostada. The portions are a great size, friendly staff and clean. Will definitely be back.
They make amazing carne en su jugo! We stopped by one night after being out, and it was perfect to end the night with. I have DoorDash it to my home several times since then and even gone and wants to pick it up on my way home from work. My husband loves their wet burritos, which are also very good. We definitely are fans.
GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, LOVE MY BURRITO DE ASADA LOVE THE SALSA BAR FIRST TIME AND HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE THERE.
Solid Cali taco spot, I had the lengue, carne asada, and shrimp tacos. Liked the flavor of the carne asada tacos the best, but their chips and salsa bar is LEGIT. They have 5 different salsas, lime, and pickled veggies that all come for free with your meal. Definitely want to try more of their taco flavors next time.
Everything about this place is fantastic, especially here in San Luis Obispo. Out of all the Mexican food spots in town, this is the one I choose every single time. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying—this place truly never disappoints. Amazing salsa. Amazing everything!!
Bomb tacos, love the simplicity of the shop itself - lots of parking in the back with the backdoor entry or you can park and enter from the street. The molcajete salsa was BOMB! Would eat here again - loved the tacos and salsas!
Really friendly and great food! Very good value too. We had the Veg and California burritos, as well as fish and shrimp tacos. All were delish and very authentic. Atmosphere was very friendly and they had two screens with the NFL and MLS on. Nice outside area to eat the food in the sun too!
I found this lil hidden jem by chance I never hit their part of town EVER and Im hooked I can't say enough good things about this spot great FOOD great PRICES and FAST service I dont think I will go anywhere else for Mexican food here in SLO ... their pastor burrito 🤤🤤🤤 delicious asada fries and their nachos yes 5 stars from me ... cant wait to try rest of their menu!!! THANKS GUYS APPRECIATE THE SERVICE
Its a great hole in the wall near campus. I can't give a hole in the wall 4 or 5 stars if a 5 star place is upscale. Nevertheless, if you want a no frills, good food gem that's very consistent, come here
We stopped by for a quick taco snack and really enjoyed it. We tried the Carnitas and the Al Pastor tacos – both were flavorful and well made. The Carnitas (pork) were a bit fatty for my personal taste, but still tasty and felt authentic. The Al Pastor was delicious and definitely the highlight for me. Overall, a great spot for tacos with good quality and a strong price-to-value ratio. I’d come back!
We ordered the cal pony burrito, a torta ahogada and a chorizo torta. They all tasted very good and presentation on point. Only complaint would be was the Al pastor meat in my cal pony burrito. The meat was a bit dry and flavor was ok. Not what I was expecting. Loses a star for this but everything else tasted great! Staff was friendly and place was clean. I would definitely come back to try something else off the menu.
Gret food, I ate soft tacos and they tasted delicious. I wish the salsa would have been a little more savory and more spicy. The flavored water was the best part. Also I like the traditional tortillas sauted in oil but that is just me. The ones here are ok but I have tasted better tortillas. Great environment to sit at the bar or outside.
$4.50 per each quesabirria taco and hardly any meat and barely any salt on it the small amount of cheese that was on the quesadilla had more flavor and also not enough space inside and also i want to appoint out that the salsa bar some sauces taste okay and the guacamole had too much lemon which ruins the flavor there are better reataurants in SLO
Bought 2 burritos last night. They did not taste good and we both got sick from it. We are still sick today. - very disappointed & frustrated
extremely bland and greasy -- I was shocked a mexican place in SLO with 4.5 stars would taste like this
