Taqueria Jalapeños — Restaurant in Santa Cruz

My boyfriend and I are currently soaking up the sun on our vacation in Santa Cruz, and one of our main goals has been to find some outstanding Mexican food. After some research and a few recommendations from locals, we stumbled upon a fantastic restaurant that truly exceeded our expectations. The moment we walked in, the vibrant decor and inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home.

I ordered the quesabirrias from doordash and I didn't care for it at all. They were just meat and cheese. No onions and cilantro. Barely any cheese but a lot of thick pieces of beef. I really couldn't taste anything but the beef! The beef was super bland like it was just cooked in a crockpot with little seasoning. It was very tender though. Literally like a pot roast my dad would make for dinner. The consume was very one note. A bit sweet, no acid no spice. I got it with medium red chile and spicy green chile salsa. Preferred the red it had more acidity. I used all six lime wedges I ordered but it didn't add much. The tortillas were super soggy by the time the food came and it took only 12 minutes to come. Overall I'm not impressed and won't...
