" El Crucero has become my favorite spot in Waco. The dishes have this authentic taste that truly captures the spirit of Mexican cuisine. Plus, the prices are very reasonable! We ordered a mix of breakfast and lunch items for a family get-together, and everyone loved it. I particularly enjoyed their tacos and homemade agua fresca. " (*Curated Review*)

The tortillas are fresh, and the ingredients taste homemade. My kids love it here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a little skeptical at first because of the drive-thru only and the cash-only policy. However, after trying their burritos, I’m a total convert! The flavors are incredible, and they really do use fresh ingredients. I had the carne asada burrito, and it was nothing short of divine. Perfect for a quick bite on the go. I highly suggest this place for anyone visiting Waco. " (*Curated Review*)
