You just found a place by the beach that makes burritos differently. And they are open seven days a week.
Walk down West Cliff and you will find Steamer Lane Supply, a hidden gem in Santa Cruz serving something called the Dilla.
What Is a Dilla
A Dilla is a pressed burrito. It comes out flat with two perfectly toasted sides, so you get crispy edges and a warm, packed center in every bite.
We asked the staff what their favorite is and they said the chipotle chicken. It was juicy and delicious, and we get why it is the pick.
Now we have a new goal. Go back and try every single one. A new burrito eating level feels unlocked.
The Spot
Steamer Lane Supply is a food, coffee, and surf gear shop right across from the Steamer Lane surf break, inside Lighthouse Field State Beach. All the seating is outdoors in the park, so you can eat with the ocean air and the waves nearby.
It is also dog and kid friendly, with a doggie menu, a water bowl, and free treats for your pup.
Grab a Dilla, find a spot outside, and take in the view.
Don't miss out.
