Paula's - Santa Cruz

When I walked in, there was only one person to cook and take orders. The prices were amazing ranging from 2-8 dollars so we weren’t shocked when the food tasted like it came from World War II…. literally it was horrible. We were in a larger group and got a variety of the menu where all did not fail to disappoint. Potatoes weren’t cooked, bacon looked like a dog treat, the mushrooms stunk so bad that we had to evacuate, everything was either overly salty or not seasoned at all, biscuits were soggy, and french toast had a cocaine like substance on it (not powdered sugar). The trailer park next door was a beautiful touch. Do we have food poisoning? Let’s give it a few hours and find out.

Classic joint, historical Santa Cruz spot, that “only” locals know. Come for breakfast or lunch, sit back, and enjoy a classic surf community local spot. Sit outside or in. See memorabilia and meet celebrities of the old waves, have basic grub cooked and served well, and hit the old van converted to booth seating.College students hit the cheap eats.Wheelchair accessibility: Gentle ramp over door jam

This is such a odd place. Will never come here again. So ridiculous. Only 1 refill of coffee per person or you get charged for another coffee. You order at counter because they do not have table service. They have a bunch of rules at the front door. Our party of 7 people ended up sitting at different tables. Food was mediocre. You can feel and smell the grease in the air.

Super cheap, high-quality food, wonderful sweet people working at the register and counter. I can't believe this place exists, it's a diamond in the ruff. I spent 4 dollars for a substantial and delicious meal. How is that possible?? We'll be back again very soon. Blessings.Food: 5/5
