Los Primos Taqueria - Santa Cruz

Really glad I came by here last night. I had ordered from the taco truck a block away a few times but the last few times I had gone there I was really disappointed in their food.. the quality and the price was not good at all so I thought I’d try this little place up the block and I really wished that I had opted to come here all those times instead of the truck.. I was happy to know they are open later than I thought and later than most places in Santa Cruz. I ordered the queso birrhias with consommé and chili rellenos and we enjoyed all of it so much we plan on coming back in the next couple days. The consommé was really hearty and full of flavor and beefy… the last time I went to the purple truck the consommé was terrible! It tasted like lukewarm dishwater. The other thing that I liked about Primo is their salsa options.. some of which I’ve never had before. The food was not only better here but much much cheaper than the purple truck!! Also, the couple that work here are so helpful and friendly. Note; do try to pay w cash, it’s a very small fee for using a card but that’s cause the card companies charge small businesses a lot to use their credit.. I often pay cash for small mom and pop stores and restaurants anyway for those reasons. We will be returning to try their ramen birrhia and birrhia sliders!

Looking for something quick as we came off the beach, this place was exactly what we were looking for. No atmosphere, really, but very tasty food and a place to sit down before getting back on the road over the hill. Portions were large and filling.

Tip place for a Mexican feed. Plenty of people coming and going while I was there.

Very small place, great customer service, great location, walking distance from beach (12 minutes walk), service a little slow, 2 ppl operation

Costillas en salsa roja and chorizo nopales con huevo were delicious. As we were standing in line, a customer recommended the costilla plate, and oh boy, was he right about how good it was! The service was exceptional!
