    BIRRIA TACOS x 3 very yummy!
    Melisa M.

    Service was quick and nice! Food came out pretty fast fast. Was not very busy on a sunday. Had really cute decorations up though. For the pre game we had micheladas and that was SO good. I was craving an authentic one and they delivered. Will be back to try another michelada.

    This was a super cute place to grab a couple tacos with friends. They have plenty of outdoor, indoor, and bar seating. Their tacos were absolutely huge! I normally eat three tacos and am still hungry, but two of El Santo's left me stuffed. I got a cochinita pibil taco and an al pastor taco. Be warned--the cochinita pibil is quite spicy! The habanero peppers really give it a kick. The meat on both tacos was deliciously seasoned and wonderfully tender. The guacamole on top was also so creamy and yummy. I saw that they have a really great taco Tuesday deal, so I'll have to be back soon!

    El Santo is a must visit dinner spot in Bushwick! Their meals are super affordable and I have never had to wait to eat. They have a great taco Tuesday deal, two tacos and a marg for $14! I first visited when touring my first Brooklyn apartment last year. I now visit regularly because they have a great vibe and I have had nothing but amazing experiences with the wait staff. I like to post my meals on instagram, and whenever I tag the restaurant their owner always comes up and chats with us. It's super sweet and makes it a far more personal experience! On to the food and drink, their chimichangas are to! die! for! Please start by ordering that. It will fill you to the brim. Any of the meat options will be great with it! I'd also recommend any of their tacos, the tortillas are sturdy and they're always full of meat. 2 tacos are probably sufficient though you could go for 3. I love their margaritas, seriously I am tipsy off of one. By the time I finish the second, I'm nearly done for the night lol. There is a great waitress who has asked me if I like my marg sweet vs savory vs spicy and has made me the best margarita of my life. I cannot recommend El Santo enough.

    Love coming here after thrifting nearby!! Food is great and their portions are pretty big. The Al pastor taco was really well seasoned and juicy. Almost every dish comes with guacamole which is great! Don't skip out on the nachos, those are really good at too. I wish they gave us metal utensils instead of plastic forks but it's okay. Vibes are great and music is playing. Very fun vibes if you come at night. Very cute spot with great decor. They also have $25 bottomless mimosas for brunch

    Tasty steak quesadilla
    Lora R.

    Tasty, but a little bland for my taste buds. Nonetheless, the accompanying sauces added the spice I was seeking on this cold and snowy day. The churros are EVERYTHING and highly recommended. In the past, I have tried the fish tacos, and they were divine. I look forward to trying other menu items in the future.

    El 3 Tacos: Chicken Tinga, Chorizó and Shrimp. So delicious!!
    Ayanna E.

    Went here this past Sunday and me oh my these tacos were delish and plentiful My friend and I starred off with drinks (2 ea) as there were 3 of us. I started with a jalapeño margarita with a shot of Mezcal. I didn't care for it and I am not one to waste a drink so i finished it and ordered another margarita which I had grapefruit and ginger I believe and that hit the spot. Now onto the tacos. I ordered 3: Chicken Tinga, Chorizo and Shrimp aka GAMBA!! I loved that they added guacamole to each taco. Man oh man that is what blew my mind as I am a lover of guacamole and it did not disappoint. The Chicken Tinga was so flavorful and spicy as the menu promised. We each ordered different tacos but there wasn't much talking as we were in FLAVOR HEAVEN. The only reason why I did not give them 5 stars is because we started off with a waitress and she then disappeared. We waited a good 15 minutes before we were acknowledged but when we were acknowledged we got our food and drinks on time. Also I didn't care for their take on chips and guacamole. Chips were a little stale and the guacamole had big chunks of WHITE onion. I will not be ordering that next time. There will definitely be a next time as my friends and I are looking to make this Bushwick gem part of our summer 2021 rotation. Also bring cash as this a CASH ONLY spot. But don't worry there is a "free" ATM that won't charge you but your bank might. These tacos and drinks are worth it.

    Amazing service, delicious food and tasty drinks ! What more do you need. Two things to note about this restaurant: 1.) this place is CASH only. not a huge deal with an ATM across the street, but important to note. 2.) the tacos are HUGE. You really only need 2 or 3 or 4. And they are DELICIOUS.

    The food is very tasty. I ordered via grubhub and my order was on time. The nachos are definitely great but it was wayyyy to cheesy. I love love cheese but each nacho is literally covered in cheese and meat. It's over the top but nonetheless still good. My Elote was not good though, it was super skinny, hardly any mayonnaise or Cotija cheese on it. The container was squished up as well. It definitely was not what I was expecting for an elote. I'd order here again but very carefully and probably only in person.

    This place was really interesting! When I found out all the cocktails were on tap, I was a bit…read moreskeptical. What do you mean you're not going to mix my cocktail right in front of me? However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

    Came here for happy hour as our dinner was in the area. The happy hour deal is great! Old…read morefashions/Manhattan/daiquiri/margarita for $8 even on weekends feels unheard of in the area. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
