    Best burrito in town. I hadn't been in a long long while and it was every bit as good as I remember.

    Michoacan has some of the best burritos in town. I also appreciate the array of other items they serve, including seafood. But most of all, the fact that the staff remembers what me and my co-workers order when we visit for lunch really shows us that they want our business. The line can sometimes snake out the door, depending on the time, but that's the case with any of the amazing taquerias we have in Santa Cruz, and it's definitely evidence that it's a quality establishment. I consider myself as close to a taqueria connoisseur as a Gringo can get, and I place Michoacan in the top 3 for the area, for sure. Also, big points for using cabbage in the super burritos instead of lettuce (keeps it crunchy instead of getting soggy, way better). Plus, their corn tortillas which are open-faced and with cheese, beans, and cabbage on top. This is the best style of quesadilla, in my opinion. If you're visiting the area, maybe spending time at the nearby beaches, check this place out. And if you're a local and haven't been here yet, I don't even know what you're doing.

    If you want quick and decent Mexican food this is the place! I only go here because my mom lives around the corner. I usually order a veggie tostada which is very good. I've wanted to get the fish taco but it's tilapia and not local (obviously).

    Amazing food, the carnitas/chili verde super burrito is one of the best burritos I've ever had. I cannot recommend this place enough
