They tasted exactly like my grandma used to make when I lived in Mexico. The right amount of spice, tangy and the eggs on top perfect. For dinner - please get the chile relleno - poblano pepper stuffed with shrimp. Flavors just together nicely with the chipotle crema they drizzle on top. Service - A+ Ambiance - they have these wonderful murals all around that give the place a positive and energetic vibe. The music is a little on the loud side but since one is focusing on all the amazing flavors, it really is not a deterrent.

What I recommend: The guacamole…read more La Santa is not authentic Mexican food, but it has great drinks, tasty dishes, and fantastic service. We ordered the lengua tacos, the bacon-wrapped burrito, the flautas, and the guac. The guac was the clear standout, and everything else was good, just not stellar. The real winner here is the ambiance. It was a 12 out of 10, and the service was attentive and top notch. I would absolutely come back for the vibes alone.

It never came. After waiting, we had to flag down a server walking by, who eventually brought one--only for it to be broken. It then took another 10 minutes before we finally got a functional highchair. Throughout the visit, the staff seemed far more interested in talking amongst themselves than actually paying attention to guests. The overall atmosphere felt disorganized, inattentive, and unprofessional. The worst part came after we left. I realized almost immediately that I had left my wallet behind and called right away. Instead of any sense of urgency or willingness to help, the host who answered was incredibly rude and dismissive. Before I could fully explain the situation, she cut me off and told me to "call back tomorrow." When I tried to quickly describe the wallet--color, contents, anything that might help--she hung up on me mid-sentence. Considering I called almost immediately after leaving and was brushed off so quickly, it raises serious concerns about whether any real effort was made to locate it. I would hope any establishment would take something like that seriously. Between the lack of attention, the disorganization, and the way a simple, time-sensitive situation was handled, this place clearly has serious issues with customer service. I won't be back.

Stopped by Taqueria El Toro last week after a few people had recommended this place. I'll admit my…read moreexpectations may be shaped by having a lot of Tex Mex style food in Texas, but I wanted to give this a try. When you arrive, there is plenty of parking around the building, and entrances in the front and on the right side. Once inside, you'll walk up to counter and place your order. Your then given a order number and it's open seating. Your number will be called out in Spanish when your food is ready and you'll pick it up at the counter. I ordered an al pastor taco which unfortunately was not good. It came out extremely cold and needed a lot of salsa for it to have any flavor. I also ordered a steak burrito which was much better and was served with melted cheese on the top. There were fatty pieces throughout the burrito but this was far better than the taco. Lastly, I ordered a horchata but it tasted like grainy and wasn't great. If I'm in the area again I may give this a try but I'd definitely stick with a burrito so your food is hot.

I saw this as an option today and liked how the quesadillas looked online. I'm pretty picky when it comes to quesadillas. I like the tortilla to be semi-crispy and everything to hold up inside with the cheese. Nothing fancy, just mixed cheese/grilled onions/chicken/butter/green peppers. The good on these quesadillas is that the flavoring of the chicken was spot on and the pico was fresh. The downside was everything else. Tortilla was soggy and everything in the quesadillas did not stay intact. The chicken was also shredded, which I didn't like. Peppers and onions were super limp. I'm giving a 3 because I wasn't at the actual restaurant and sometimes food consistency is off from in-house compared with to-go. I won't be ordering this as a to-go option again, though. Your experience may differ.

Food and drinks came out super fast. The birria tacos did not have any flavor or seasoning, thankfully we had the consume that added a little bit of flavor but not much more oil and greasy. ACP steak was pretty good. Agave chipotle chicken tacos were really dry, asked for extra sauce and that didn't make a difference it was the chicken overcooked. Overall we enjoyed our experience and would probably go back to this location.

Ordered a drink the pineapple jalapeño margarita wasn't really strong to me.

Had to hunt down the server to get a set of silverware, also basic things like making sure having enough napkins and chips for the table. Overall, it was a decent spot, but pricey though.

The service was very good with what seemed to be a newer server. She checked in quite often until it was time to bring the check. Had to ask her for that after about a 10 minute wait after she cleaned off the table. Outside of that, very friendly and attentive. The ACP had very thin slices of chicken which was nice, but not as much cheese as you typically see in other restaurants. According to the server, you do have to ask for some flour tortillas on the side if you want them as they don't come by default. The Pollo Tropical had a nice thin layer of chicken breast covered in cheese.... tasty. The margaritas were good and have a smear of taijin on one side of the rim which gives the drink a little spice. Prices are in line with other restaurants in the area. Definitely would recommend it.

The inside of the restaurant was cute but extremely dark. Service was great. Parking is free in a parking lot.
