Cruz's father was a Cuban citizen at the time of his Ted's birth. Just as Obama's father was not a US citizen at the time of his birth.
A common interpretation as to why the "natural born citizen" language is included in the eligibility clause is to prevent split allegiances - as we currently are witnessing with Obama and the musloid states.
"Natural Born Citizen" has yet to be taken up by the Supreme Court for definition, though many websites will quote the Naturalization law of 1790 that use the term "natural born citizen." However, the Naturalization law of 1795 repeals the 1790 version and removed the "natural born" portion of that statement - many websites leave this fact out of their argument.

There is a legal difference between "Citizen" and "Natural Born Citizen" and the courts need to take up the definition before another usurper gets elected.
Regardless of their supposed conservative values, I'm personally tired of hearing Cruz and Rubio talk about their roots and pushing for increased immigration. They both appear to have, and are proud of, their split allegiances.
