From the truck

Food was incredible. The quesabirria is to die for and the shrimp burrito is big enough for two meals (and is the best I’ve ever had). Best horchata in town and the service was fantastic!

Gabriel the owner was very professional and kind. He catered a big wedding at The Brothers Ranch and made sure to attend to everyone’s needs. I was very impressed with the food, he had an array of condiments and chips and salsa and guac. Very impressed!

We hired their taco truck experience. Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing experience! Gabriel and his lovely wife came an hour early, set everything up, and provided all the extras for our event. All the food was simply delicious. Will be calling upon Gabriel again soon. Thank you so much!

Best tacos in town! Taquizas Gabriel is hands down the best Mexican food you can find in the Santa Cruz area. Food is always fresh and authentic. If you’re looking for yummy tacos, burritos, and birria this is the spot to go!

Best fish tacos in town. The shredded beef are excellent as well. I LOVE their hot red salsa and the fact that you get grilled onions with every order
