Taqueria El Cruzero: Reviews & Ratings
Best breakfast burritos, my go to is chorizo and bacon with cheese, rice, refried beans and avocado soooo good and everyone working there is super nice
Great food quality, generous portions and very friendly staff. Ordered numerous times from this place and never got disappointed.
Great price great food, muy rapido (very fast). The steak wasn't chewy which is very surprising I really enjoyed it.
Wow! What an amazing taqueria! I ate tacos of tripas, carnitas, and asada and all were EXCELLENT. The meat is super fresh and tasty. The price point is perfect. We will definitely return often. DELICIOUS!
1. Food: Always well-prepared and authentic. 2. Service: I called in the order. 3. Delivery: Order 51contained food that we did not order. It was delicious, but it is not what we were expecting given that we ordered nachos grande and quesadilla shrimp grande with supreme cocoa sauce.
I have decided to check out this Taqueria. Very pleasant customer service and quick. Fish tacos on a hard shell will probably some of the best taco. I've had here in the bay area. Lingua and Cabeza. We're delicious as well. 10 out of 10.
I can not tell you how I've discovered this place but I've known about it since middle school... (don't calculate my age..) and I have been obsessed with them since. They are the ONLY location I know that seasons their carne asada and seasons their fries. They are not stingy with not a single topping. You want extra cilantro? Add cilantro. Tomatoes- yaaaasss. Sour cream? Add more drizzle drizzle. But most importantly they are not afraid of flavor. If you're a big fan of those meats that just have salt and pepper? This ain't for you. They have a full seasoning cabinet and the main ingredient is not salt! Listen.... Listen... this is the itis "I'm eating because I deserve it" and do not tell your personal trainer vibes. This is that food. Cilantro freshly cut Now other items on the menu. Burrito is amazing - get the salsa... add it on to every bite and just know you will be in love. If you have an addictive personality? Then you will be good for business. But heads up- this is not a late night hype- they do close early. I respect their hours and plan accordingly. Enjoy!
We've come here around 4 times already, and every time we've grabbed a burrito it's been bomb. I always grab a super burrito de asada and al pasto and my husband of asada. There horchata is good too. It's small shop but flavor is there. We grab it on our way home since it's right off the freeway and quick to pick up and hop back on the freeway to get home. I'll call 5 mins before I get there and our burritos are done right as I walk up. Give it a shot you'll enjoy it. The red salsa is bomb.
