El Palomar

Want a perfect amount of food while having a drink? Go with one of their sopes . I do the snapper , shrimp or grilled chicken . If you're a bit more hungry, get rice and beans with it. You're all set!

The service and the food here are top notch. Coming here with our kids, we felt at home, and everyone engaged with our little family. Man. Will eat here much more often. Fajitas & Moscow Mule ftw!

Really good entrées. I had the cheese enchiladas and they were amazing. The chips that they serve are obviously store bought which really ruins the amazing salsa they have. It was pretty good overall!

Order a house Margarita (da best) and then ask for restroom code.

Love this place! Wonderful service, great food, excellent happy hour deals , and did I mention Wonderful service! Fresh smelling place - restaurant and bar , gorgeous and clean .

We had the sopes with beans and rice , very good! We were offered a box to take away , since it was way too much for us, 2 meals for the price of one!

Great little place in an old hotel lobby with lots of options. Tacos are good. Hand made tortillas and a hint of cabbage . Prawns are really baby shrimp . Asada has great flavor. enough w/ critic try it

Standard Mexican food but very well done... happy hour margaritas and $2 street tacos are a great way to start the evening.

Chile Relenos, Sopes , and Fajitas are excellent. Order a pitcher of Mescale margaritas and you are set!

Being from Texas, I've been searching for a *LONG* time for decent Mexican food in California... These guys do a great job! And their margaritas are wonderful.

Lunch specials are a great deal and the a la carte choices are awesome too!

never been dissapointed great food Happy Hour try it youll like it

Great food, got new tortilla chips and they are so much better! Crispy and so fresh

Jose's special appetizer is a great thing to share btw two people. The fajitas is awsome. And when they say "sizzling" on the menu, they really mean it! Read more

Happy hour has $4 beers . Tacos de carne asada are good.

The prawn fajitas and margarita selection are fantastic!

the dining room is AMAZING

I love this place! Always excellent service, tasty food and great drinks!

The have a lunch menu with all sorts of good stuff.

Great Enchilada de Camerones . I hateted the service though. I'm not really used to those fake American smiles and I had just one too many in here.

More traditional Mexican fare but still with chips & salsa .

Try the chile verde - It was so good... Ate it before taking a picture!

The Enchilada de Camerones are amazing I always ask for an extra! Delicious!!!!

Go through the coffee shop to the taco bar for quick service

Delicious tacos & awesome margaritas made with seleccion 1146

Margaritas are fantastic!

The best carne asada in town , without the full sit-down restaurant experience.

Oder the ceviche combo platter. Amazing. And a meal in itself.

For anyone never having a sope - come here and try one!!! Amazing!!

Try the tamales . Very good. Beans are yummy but they're made with lard. Not so healthy.

Tacos are the best !

Order the flan . Yum!

Micheladas and tacos at the taco bar

Bloody Mary , ceviche combo plate and half dozen oysters ...

Free nachos with your order and free replace. Too good!

Authentic Santa Cruz Hot Spot!

Get a happy hour burrito for your freezer

Food is delicious!

Best carne asada in town ; also the best margaritas !

The tips don't lie -- amazing carne asada

Say hi to Jeff. Best bartender .

Pretty meh food but nice interior. Try and sit in the patio .

They say the bathrooms require tokens and are only for paying customers - not the case! Which I hate to take advantage of but it was an emergency of the bladder.

Try carne asada , only beans and cheese with a cherry coke to drink!

Quesadillas !!!

Terrible service, took 10 min to even be acknowledged. Waited 30 min for my nachos and never received them because the kitchen made quesadillas (which I also never received). Never saw a manager.

$2 tacos on Tuesdays. So good.

Simply the best Mexican restaurant that I've tried. The burritos are really big and the Camaron 's one it's really good. A happy hour from Mon. to Fri.!

Chips and salsa=legit

Great for margaritas and chicken tortilla soup !
