" Cruz Kitchen is my go-to spot for authentic Mexican food! Combined with the welcoming atmosphere and robust flavors, this family restaurant never disappoints. I order the wet burrito each time; it’s a personal favorite! The passion behind each dish is evident, and I love that they care about using fresh ingredients. I’ve recommended this place to everyone I know; each visit is a memorable time with delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cruz Kitchen has been a staple in my family's life for years, and for good reason! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted like family. Their menu is packed with authentic dishes that are always fresh and prepared on-site. I am a huge fan of the menudo and their wet burrito—the flavors are just outstanding! The prices are reasonable, making it good value for money. This feels like a little slice of home and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic Mexican food, Cruz Kitchen is the place for you! The colores of the decorations are warm and inviting, and the food is even better! Their menudo is some of the best I've had, and the tacos are delightful. Eating here always brings back great memories; it’s like dining in someone's home. The portions could be a little bigger, but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to visit Cruz Kitchen often and have fond memories of their food, but my recent visit left me a bit underwhelmed. The menudo was good, but the flavor seemed a touch off compared to what I remembered. The service was still friendly, and there’s a real community feel, but I wished for bigger portions given the price. It’s still a solid option for Mexican food in Saginaw—I just hope they can return to their earlier glory! " (*Curated Review*)

" I dropped by Cruz Kitchen after work last week and was blown away by their friendly service! The staff was accommodating and truly seemed happy to help. The food? Well, I opted for their signature menudo, and it was fantastic. Authentic, hearty, and satisfying, it laid the groundwork for a fantastic meal. The only downside is that I wish they had a bigger seating area, as there's usually a wait. But for the food alone, it's well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I finally got around to experiencing Cruz Kitchen after hearing so much buzz about it. My taste buds were singing! The nachos were perfectly cheesy and flavorful. I don't think I will ever have enough of those. The service was stellar as well, enthusiastic and sharp. Like many others, I appreciate the family vibe here. A delightful palate adventure awaits you, and I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to eating here after all the great reviews, but my experience was quite so-so. The service was friendly but the food lacked excitement; I expected more from the nachos, which were uninspired, frankly. They didn’t use quality tortillas and I could taste the difference. I don’t mind paying for good food, but I felt let down this time. " (*Curated Review*)
