It's hard to do a full review on a place when you're ordering just food via DoorDash because I…read moremight typically bump a star up if atmosphere is really good or service was stellar. 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.

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.

Their chips and salsa are yummy- you get two dip options, both of which are very tasty. For my main I got the steak fajitas- yum! Perfectly cooked and really delicious.

If my mom (who was neither Mexican nor good at cooking) attempted to make a Tex-Mex style dinner,…read morethis feels like what she would've come up with, using her trusty arsenal of store-brand white american cheese; off-brand Wonder bread; and the cheapest greying meat, from the cheapest grocery store, roused from its long slumber in a cling-wrapped styrofoam bed in the freezer. The tortillas did indeed taste like white bread, somehow. The cheese was an unidentifiable white cheese-like substance. The meat was completely flavorless and seemingly unseasoned, though, it did, at least, taste and look like it likely came from a recognizable member of the cattle family (rather than some other, less ideal, quadrupedal sources of red meat). The chips had the traditional shape and color of chips in a typical Tex-Mex restaurant. Despite the reassuring outward appearance, however, they were also oddly lacking in flavor, other than a strange movie popcorn-like aftertaste. The salsa unexpectedly seemed to have been fashioned from actual tomatoes, rather than the usual jarred mush found at most casual Tex-Mex restaurants. While normally this would be a good thing, here it meant that the salsa was being prepared in-house (or shipped in from the Chuy's warehouse of condiments). Though the salsa was acceptably mediocre, it benefitted from tasting a little better than other things on the table, which also helped me partially forgive its remarkable resemblance to gastric effluvium.

I came back after my last review and had a much better experience, so I'm hoping the earlier…read morestaffing issues have been resolved. We were seated without a reservation on a busy Saturday night, and the hostess was kind and really intentional about making sure we were comfortable. The food was delicious and came out quickly. My one piece of feedback is to skip the basic margaritas and choose your own tequila. Our server didn't seem very familiar with the drink menu--when I asked for a spicy margarita, I was brought "The OG," which wasn't spicy and had something in it that just didn't work for me. I switched to a margarita with Casamigos mezcal and it was amazing. Overall, a solid spot in Fenton for good food, especially if you're with a group. Bonus points for letting us linger a bit longer to wait out a rainstorm with another round.

(I like that there is an outdoor dining space that gives you a view of Fenton's green space and movie theatre crowd.) In spite of all this, I think I may have ordered the wrong items perhaps. This was my first visit and I did not research the most popular items. As a consequence, my chicken fajitas were just average compared to other places I've dined and my daughter's crunchy chicken tacos were ok. I would visit again but would definitely try a different entree.

A big, bright bar is off to the right as you walk in. The decor is very nice, Mexican but better than most places. The chips and salsa came quickly.

There is a choice of ground beef, chicken or cheese. There is burrito had an unusual sauce, but I liked it. The quesadilla had a decent amount of cheese and chicken. A big serving of rice and beans and the chips went well with it all. Service was prompt and a manager came to check on us as well as our great waitress. We will return.

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.

Also popular as date and dance night destination for Broughton kids, as they have an upstairs dining option and are close to St. Mary's Street. Pro tip: order the triple taco platter with mixed beans & rice, and *share.* The tacos are filling enough, especially with a side. The most unique one is the buffalo cauliflower with bleu cheese - YUM. We always order the queso, and the low viscosity is a bit of a challenge to eat without dripping all over yourself, but a worthy one. I sometimes pick up the locally-made cinnamon rolls from their cooler at the front for holiday or housewarming gifts, which are always well-received.
