Exactly what I expected , and exactly what I got. GREAT TACOS! With a side of rice and beans. I ordered #11, 2 crisp ground ground beef tacos. Great food, served by wonderful people. Go here!

The food here was amazing 10/10 and the prices were reasonable. I am vegetarian and I was worried that they may not have anything and when I was they had an entire section that was vegetarian I was so excited. I ordered the Las Palmas Veggie Burrito and it was delicious. At first I did not think I would like having sprouts in a burrito but it turned out to be really good. I added some of their red salsa on the side and that stuff is spicy. Like actually spicy spicy. Next time I am in Santa Cruz I will definitely go back.

Very rude, discriminative and hostile. I came here because of the tik tok reviews were amazing. We go inside to order as we’re looking at menus we ask for a bathroom and older man tells us rudely “no bathrooms inside you need to walk down to the bar for a bathroom. We are not from the area there was no bar site. After not having anything to eat all day we order our food a burrito and two tacos, the total came out to 32$. I feel as through it was assumed we weren’t there to eat and that is why we were giving the response. Here is the catch “there’s a sign that reads “bathrooms are for customers only”. We are paying customers and we even left a tip!!! So why were we refused a restroom??? I will not be coming back here. The food was meh I had a better street burrito/ taco stands and phenomen

Las Palmas Taco Bar is easily one of the best places for authentic Mexican food in Santa Cruz. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the welcoming, casual vibe that makes it perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed meal with friends. The staff is friendly and efficient, and even during busy hours, service is fast and smooth. The food is what truly makes this spot shine. The tacos are fresh, flavorful, and packed with high-quality ingredients. The carnitas taco is melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the fish tacos are perfectly seasoned with a crisp finish that adds just the right amount of texture. Every bite feels like a taste of Mexico. One of my favorite features is the salsa bar. It’s loaded with options so you can customize your meal exactly how you like it. Everything tastes homemade, f
