Yeah, I just skimmed the article to see if they mentioned Santa Cruz.

I used to go there all the time when I was working in Watsonville
multiple days during the week.

Tacos Moreno? My favorite for a long time was Costa Brava, down on
Seabright and Murray. Eventually they tore down the little
hole-in-the-wall place and built something with an actual interior
dining area. There's a Costa Brava tacqueria over on River Street as
well; weirdly, there's also a Java Junction over there, the original of
which is across the street at Seabright and Murray.
