Located a few blocks from the beach, Fandango's Mexican Cafe caters to the Santa Cruz lifestyle with homemade vegan tamales (no lard), brown rice and a fun place to dine. The friendly owners are proud of their natural-style Mexican cuisine, and they provide a colorful relaxing spot for singles or families to enjoy good food either inside or out on the deck. Fandango's televises live boxing matches on its flat-screen TV.
