I've eaten at this Betty Burgers many times because the food is usually good. It's not the best…read moreburger in Santa Cruz but it's a decent and I want to support the businesses affected by the road closure. This visit was a little disappointing. The burgers seemed sloppier than usual and just weren't as good as they've been in the past. What really bothered me, though, was the 3.95% credit/debit card service charge. I didn't notice it until after I had already paid because the only explanation was printed at the bottom of the receipt. If you're going to charge customers an extra fee for using a card, that should be made very clear before they order so they have the option to pay cash. Between the food that wasn't up to par and an added processing fee, this visit just wasn't worth it. I don't mind paying for good food but I don't like feeling nickel-and-dimed over an extra charge that wasn't obvious before ordering. Transparency goes a long way.

I ordered the Point Grinder which is a burger with bacon, sauteed mushrooms, bleu cheese and green onion and it was a great combination! The only reason why I'm giving a 4/5 stars is because my patty was still very red instead of a standard well-done. My friends and I also ordered one side each and tried garlic fries, sweet potato fries and onion rings and all were delicious. Garlic fries were seasoned well and had lots of garlic, sweet potato was slightly thick cut and soft and yummerz and the onion rings wasn't just batter, it had thick slices of onion! Their ranch was also creamy and aromatic! Parking could be difficult on a busy day! 9/10 would recommend!

We had been coming here for years, and it was honestly one of our favorite Mexican food spots…read more Unfortunately, that changed after an experience a few months ago. I ordered an al pastor taco that came with a lot of lettuce. I ate it, and the next day I got extremely sick with what felt like the worst food poisoning I've ever experienced. It was bad enough that it honestly traumatized me from eating Mexican food altogether. And just to give you an idea of how bad the experience was--I love Mexican food, and I haven't eaten it at all since then. It took me months to even feel comfortable enough to leave this review. I really liked this place before, so I'm not saying this lightly. If you decide to go, I personally would avoid the al pastor tacos and anything that comes with their lettuce. I haven't gone back since.

I don't eat a lot, but oh my goodness they were so good. Some of the best I've had and my husband had the cheeseburger and that was absolutely delicious. I would rate this burger spot one of my top 10. Anytime I come out to this area I will fit this into my schedule! Thank you to the staff understanding I don't eat much right now allowing me to get the chicken tenders! So good I sent hubby to get me more the next day. I was only able to eat good!

I think you can make the wrong choice on your 1st/2nd/3rd visit depending on your taste, but I also think you should come back and you'll absolutely find something that 100% tickles your pickle. I've tried most of their hot sandwiches: - Noni's Pesto Chicken: this is one of my favorite sandwiches of all time. It's not very complex but for some reason the combination of flavors just is *chefs kiss*. 5* for this alone, don't fight me - Surf City Philly: can be surprisingly spicy, heavy but SO good. This is my third favorite. - Chicken Cowabunga: not that great, would skip, but I also have a whole website on fried chicken sandwich rankings so I'm picky - Vulcan Mind Melt: sounds so good on paper but it's just heavy. I would skip - Crispy Cod Wrap: I've had a bite or two of this and I thought it was pretty good but not that memorable - Pork Belly Banh Mi: this was good, and I don't usually like pork belly - Chipotle Chicken Club: also kinda heavy but I really enjoyed this! This is my second favorite. - Cubano: not particularly memorable Not a sandwich but Beer Barnacles: ugh I enjoyed this more often than I should have, sorry not sorry. 5*

Loroco is an edible, unopened flower bud from a Central American vine, and is a staple in Salvadoran cuisine, especially in pupusas. When the dish came it just tasted like spinach! Take a look at the pictures. Burritos was were i was disappointed, the gave a platter instead of Burrito, but they quickly complied to take it back wrapped it up in tortilla. But when we split rice and bean was on one side and vegetables on the other, which diluted the whole experience. We got another burrito to go, which was also folded wrong Wow I learnt how wrong way of folding a Burritos can bring this much difference. Also their Jalapenos were not having the kick. So this trip did not turn out well. So reducing a star. Hope next time they will earn it back. .

I had a very disappointing experience at this McDonald's location during a family gathering trip…read more On 05/21/26 at approximately 1:25 PM, I placed my mobile order while driving from Monterey to Capitola. I arrived at the restaurant around 1:45 PM and politely asked a young employee about my order. He told me it would be out shortly. After waiting about 10 minutes, I noticed several customers who ordered after me received their food, but my order was never called. I approached the same employee again and politely asked if he could check on my order. After another 10 minutes, there was still no update. Eventually, I was approached by who I believe was a manager. After I explained that I had placed my order at 1:25 PM and had driven from Monterey, she questioned whether I had already received the food. The interaction quickly became uncomfortable, and I felt as though I was being accused of trying to claim food I had already picked up. I explained that I had not received my order and even suggested they review the camera footage if there was any confusion. As a paying customer, being treated with suspicion instead of receiving assistance was upsetting and felt discriminatory. After a lengthy delay, I finally received part of my order. However, the problems didn't end there. The fries were not filled properly, and I was missing two Hot 'N Spicy McChicken sandwiches that I had paid for. Unfortunately, I was unable to return because I had family commitments and a busy schedule that day. The entire experience was frustrating--from the long wait, to the lack of communication, to being treated as if I were doing something dishonest, and ultimately receiving an incomplete order. I hope management reviews both their customer service practices and order fulfillment process so other customers don't have a similar experience.

Seems like deception by omission- Didn't notice until I opted for a receipt via text. Cute place but customer service lacks sparkle.
