Taqueria El Cruzero — Restaurant in San Leandro

My car broke down in front of this place earlier today and it must have been a sign from god or something because I love burritos.

After calling AAA to get my car towed I decided to kill time and go in and try the place out. Guy at the counter was nice and asked me how my day was going. When I explained my predicament he told me my drink was on the house.

I have ordered the same burrito order (regular carnitas) from probably hundreds of different taquerias. This was easily in the top 3 of all time for me. The carnitas was absolutely cooked to perfection, with a mix of nice crispy strips and some juicy delicious chunks. Absolutely amazing.

While travelling, we stopped for dinner at Taqueria El Cruzero #2, and it was great! The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

We also ordered a Steak Burrito, a Chile Relleno platter with freshly hand-made corn tortillas (served hot!), and Agua Frescas in Watermelon and Hibiscus flavors. Everything was excellent!

I love this place! When I lived here I went at least 2x a week and now it’s a must when I visit. The food is amazing and very consistent. Tacos are very delicious, we always get one de lengua, asada, and quesa birria. We always get it with a side of rice and beans and a churro for after. They have some of the best agua frescas I’ve ever had. I’ve also tried the quesadillas, burritos, the pozole and the enchiladas verdes, all very delicious! This place has a great atmosphere and they always have on good music. The customer service is great, very welcoming and accommodating! You can dine in or take Togo. I love coming here always an amazing experience!...
