De La Hacienda Taqueria

354 Washington St
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

(831) 427-2200

La Hacienda has been operating in Santa Cruz for over 10 years. Originally located in front of the Boardwalk, La Hacienda has come a long way from its early roots. The restaurant itself has now relocated to downtown Santa Cruz where it focuses more on everyday customers and less on beach tourists. The menu has seen a big change since the early days. When La Hacienda opened its door it only offered 3 items: Burritos, Tacos and Quesadillas. Now there are Tortas, Chimichangas, and a few dinner plates for those with a bigger appetite. Still it's the basics that make La Hacienda such a great place to eat at. Nothing beats an Al-Pastor burrito with a healthy dose of our popular salsa.
