Why Travelers Love Pinchos del
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Really nice place , great food. Just moved to a new location. We had a great dinner. Tourists and locals mix . Very friendly staff We got to this great restaurant in Santa Cruz because of previous reviews and let me tell you everything they said is true. Affordable and delicious food, great service and nice atmosphere. In comparison to the restaurants in the main streets, this one is the best choice. In terms of value for money plus getting nice meat and home made dishes. Our favorite was the combo with pork chop and grilled chicken. Just by judging these two, I would say any option is gonna be great! Excellent food, good selection. A little way away from the town, so didn't see any other tourists there, but it's definitely worth the trip. Great quality food for half the price you'd be paying in the main area.

We had a great experience with fantastic food (meats and fish/seafood). Very well seasoned, cooked on point and with very nice and attentive service. Very fair priced and good size portions. Spent about $25 each for appetizrs, main course, sides and drinks. Will come back for sure!
