Ask people why they live in Soquel, and they’ll mention the friendly residents, the fresh air, and the little hometown neighborhoods sprinkled among the piney woods. There’s even a white-steepled church on the corner, and don’t miss many antique shops and emporiums where little historical treasures can be found.

Visitors are always impressed with the concentration of fine restaurants in tiny Soquel. Dining choices range widely and include the Main Street Cafe, which is a Mediterranean eatery serving meals harvested from an onsite garden, and the local favorite El Chipotle Taqueria, which serves up some of the best Mexican food in the area. You can find our Sereno Group Santa Cruz office on Porter Street right next to all these delectable restaurants!
