Ibiza

SO, glad I happened to stumble upon this place when they were open. I've been super curious about how they're food was. I ordered the fried chicken wrap and it was fire (delicious)! I was afraid the chicken could be over breaded and too heavy, but not here. It had the perfect balance of lightly breaded, crispy chicken, fresh and pickled veggies. I love that the sauce is creamy with little spicy kick to it, while still retaining a baseline freshness. I could tell this was high quality from the first bite. To add, the atmosphere is on point. After being so warmly greeted by the staff and ordering, I found the perfect little spot to relax and read my book while relaxing music played in the background.

DELICIOUS food and very kind service! Definitely my favorite lunch spot downtown. Healthy, flavorful options, and amazing drink selections! The hippie salad and the peach matcha I could have everyday of my life!

I feel very stupid for sleeping on this place as long as I did. The food is incredible and has a complexity to it that far surpasses the typical two notes of bland tzatziki and overly salted meat that typically passes for Mediterranean food. The Shawarma is the best pita based sandwich I've ever had. The mango latte sounds weird but is definitely worth trying, very similar in flavor profile to a rose-raspberry latte if you've had or can imagine that. The chai is peerless in Santa Cruz, somewhere between masala chai, karak, and Thai tea. And its hard to have truely exceptional fries but somehow they do it here, although I do think the price is a little steep on them. Overall definitely in the top 3 of lunch places downtown.
