    The B. E. S. T. Al Pastor Burrito on this P. L. A. N. E. T Go to the location on WATER Street in Santa Cruz not the one off of 41st Ave. It's cash only but don't worry they have an ATM machine inside

    Tacos Morenos has been around for at least 25 years or more. I used to live and work nearby and this place is often busy with a line out the door. Small dining area but usually it is always "To-Go". I ordered a Carne asada burrito full with whole beans (not refried), cabbage, onion, cilantro, tomatoes and salsa. My burrito was accomplices with a small container of a spicy green sauce too. About $11.25. Dang, I remember when this was like $6.00. It is still a hearty burrito to satisfy your hunger.

    Solid burrito here! We got a carnitas burrito, a birria taco, and an al pastor taco to split. The tacos weren't anything special, but the burrito was quite good! I won't say this is the best Mexican spot I've been to around here, but not bad by any means!
