Taqueria El Cruzero is an absolute knockout--straight up serving the best burrito in town and not…read moreeven pretending to be humble about it. The burrito? Massive, perfectly balanced, and wrapped like it graduated top of its class in Burrito Engineering. Every bite hits--juicy, flavorful meat, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of everything so you're not playing "rice roulette" halfway through. This thing stays elite from first bite to last. No weak links. The flavors are dialed in. You can tell they care. It's not just food--it's a full-on experience where you pause mid-bite, look around, and wonder if everyone else knows how good this is. Service was quick and friendly, no nonsense. You order, they deliver greatness, and suddenly your day is better. Ambiance is classic taqueria vibes--nothing fancy, everything authentic, exactly how it should be. If you're even thinking about getting a burrito anywhere else... don't. Respect yourself. Come here. I'll be back. Frequently. Possibly too frequently :)

The burrito was packaged nicely, and after a couple bites I realized I didn't like how the meat tasted. Like it was old. I ordered the burrito with cheese and started to take it back because there was none, until I reached the bottom, it was all there. I always order jalapeños, which they usually give me in a bag with carrots. Today the bag was full of carrots with three small jalapeños. Though the service was good, it always is, I was extremely disappointed in my burrito.

They do have a salsa bar and you can get your own salsa or jalapeños. As for drinks, they do have fountain drinks, a few drinks in the fridge, and also a small selection of beers to choose from. As for the food, I tried their steak nachos. It came with steak , nacho cheese, pico de gallo, black beans, guacamole, sour cream and jalapeños. I did take my nachos to go. By the time I got home, give or take probably 10 minutes from picking up the nachos. The nacho chips were a little soft not as crispy as I would've liked. The chips did not seem like they had any salt on them. As for the nacho cheese, it was very light in flavor. The steak was small cube pieces and could've had more meat. The flavor of the steak was good. Overall, the nachos were OK, but I probably would not order them again. I might try this restaurant again and try something different on the menu. As for the customer service it was good and service was fast. They do have a TV inside and they are currently watching the soccer game, if you're interested or looking for a place to watch the game & grab some to eat.

But like with all food spots, it comes down to the food. So how was it? Torta Loca: this is a combination of Milanesa, ham, hot dog, refried beans, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and jalapeños on the side. The combination of flavors was decent. This is a giant Torta which is meant to be consumed by at least two people. The Torta bread was extremely thick, so my biggest knock would be that this Torta could use more meat. If I were to order another Torta from here, I'd ask for double meat and pay whatever that cost would be. The eating area is for minimalist. Just a table for a quick bite, not meant dining in. Overall I love the ladies working here, and the Torta was standard fare.

She told us most things on the menu could be made vegan, as well, and offered us samples of the jamaica agua fresca, which was not overly sweet. It can be hard to find anything vegan in East Oakland late at night, other than maybe a bean burrito, so the kindness and flexibility of the two women at La Torta Loca was greatly appreciated!

A sweet black terrier greeted me. Gentle and docile, a few good licks made me feel Ohana. The store is basically on a patio in front of a residence. A gas iron flat top is grilling and fresh veggies are being chopped next to it. The whole set up is very clean and bug critter-free. A lovely guy, busily cut veggies and gladly took my order. There's two versions of tacos de birria; beef and veggie (no vegan). I chose three beef and a cup of consommé to carry out. I watched closely how señorita made the tacos. Two corn tortillas grilling, a good sized dollop of beef birria, cheese, onions, cilantro, and salsa. As they sizzled, the sexy aroma of my days spent in Boyle Heights (East LA) brought back fond memories. She folded the tacos carefully and plated them with love into a clam shell container. Bruh bagged me up and the total was $12.50, but he said call it $12. I'm already impressed by the service and gave him a nice tip. Once home, I had to let my iPhone camera eat first. The pictures really don't do justice on how delicious the tacos are. Overstuffed with the birria beef filling, melted into the Mexican cheese, and with just enough salsa. My first dip and bite of the taco was heavenly. As we say in Hawaii, "Broke da mout!" It clearly is a paper towel event. On my next visit, I plan to dine-in at one of the three 4x6 tables set up in the patio. I truly cannot wait to return!
