Falafel Of Santa Cruz

Cash only, an inconvenience, but their sign is honest in why it's cash only.Food had decent portion sizes but was pretty bland. Very causal but welcoming vibe.Food: 4/5

I showed up here on a whim looking for a nice take-out spot for a late evening meal with my housemate. I ordered the lamb kabob sandwich and it was not only affordable but filling and incredibly delicious.? The service was friendly and speedy. I am most certainly a fan now.Food: 5/5

Fresh and Hearty Sautéed Veggie Plate-Lots to choose from on the Mediterranean Menu of Classics and Combos to mix and match sides and dishes.Fresh and Homemade tastingThe assorted veggies were sautéed nicely and served over rice.The dish had hummus or baba ghanoush choice for side. I chose hummus and it was delicious. Also a nice side salad with zesty vinaigrette.Check out the photos. Nice size for lunch. Also had a Tropical Yerba Mate This is a gr8 location to pull up for a healthy meal. On Mission Street easy corner spot to get to. Plenty of parking on the side street

The food here is incredible! I live almost 2 hours away and often make the trip just for their falafel sandwich. I have yet to find Mediterranean food or falafel closer to home that lives up to this caliber! Highly recommend.

Nothing fancy about this place. The food was fine but not great. I watched them pull my falafels from a frozen food bag, so I'm not sure what is made in-house vs purchased pre-made. The tabouli and babaganoush were good. The chicken shawarma was fine, but no great flavors jump out you.I do want to say the staff was very friendly and the baklava was really tasty!The building has probably been around 30+ years and looks it, but the eating area was clean.Remember to bring cash because they don't accept credit cards. There is an ATM machine inside, tho.Parking: I think there is a small parking area somewhere in the back. But we were lucky to find a spot in front of the place nextdoor.
