Cafe El Palomar - Santa Cruz

Always a great spot to get a bite to eat and a when down at Twin Lakes Harbor Beach! Juevos Rancheros, or whatever Mexican food you prefer! Good stuff, nice views!

Yummy! Love the chips and salsa. So tasty! This place has a few locations to try. One in downtown Santa Cruz and another in Watsonville. I love this location mostly for sitting down and dining. It is beachfront and you can enjoy the beautiful ocean views while you enjoy your delicious food. Today I had steak ranchero. Charbroiled skirt steak cut into small strips in this amazing flavorful sauce. It comes with rice, beans and your choice of tortillas. They have a lot of other great things on the menu. The taquitos and fajitas are also favorites.

I eat at resturants all the time,then I do a review. This place had the best blueberry pancakes I ever ate,my son had French toast it was the best.

Upon waking in I was greeted immediately. Extremely helpful and nice staff. I’ve tried a few things. Cheese enchiladas Chicken enchiladas Chili relleno Rice Beans All the food was spot on. Nothing to over the top here. The taste was there and it was great. Flavors were good and food was fresh. Food also come out in a very timely manner as well. Something I’ve noticed as well. I’ve been here a few times now. And they’ve always been pretty damn busy. Lots of locals go here and that’s a great sign! The menu is HUGE. And in my opinion to big and probably costing the business but you know what? Take advantage of it while it’s there with the insane amount of options. Will I return? Most definitely. I recommend this place for sure. Nice spot on the beach with good Mexican food. And they also have a decent bar. Go check it out!

It is always a nice day to sit in the Cafe El Palomar and have a Margarita and Ceviche! they have the best views, large portion sizes and great drinks. The staff is always as helpful and fast, especially how busy they are.
