    Spicy cucumber margarita
    Anna H.

    The good: everything we ordered was delicious from the chilaquiles options to the carnitas. The bad: it's incredibly loud between the live band and the background music. Service is very slow, and the servers don't feel a rush. There's also a pretty limited kids menu with no substitutions. Their drinks and food menus are overpriced compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area.

    Asi es!

    It's been a few years and Santo Remedio is still kicking ! I'm happy to hear and see this. Taco Tuesday 5-10pm was perfect . Live music , great service , the food was YUM and our servers Teo and Yasmin were EXCEPTIONAL! The house made salsa is to die for. Fish taco - the best and I highly recommend . I'll be back soon! Gracias !

    Margarita flight- comes with 4 drinks

    This was my first time at this restaurant and I enjoyed it! The restaurant is brightly decorated with color, neon lights and portraits of people like Selena. Loved this! We ordered the margarita flight which came with peach, tamarindo,mango and strawberry. They are made well just a bit on the sweeter side. I ordered their chicken mole enchiladas that came with a side of their rice and beans. They were yummy. And I was actually surprised that their rice and beans were tasty. Overall I enjoyed my time here. It wasn't crowded at all during our 5:30pm reservation. We left around 7 and noticed the live music entertainers were just arriving. Might need to go back and check that out!

    While this place is very vibrant I wasn't a fan of their food and I disliked their loud music! There was only one other party when I arrived and the service was slow but friendly! Complimentary chips were good and the salsa was okay. Bon Appetit

    First Visit Was On 12/20/25. There Was No One At The Host/Check-In Stand. While I Was Waiting, A Couple Of Staff Members Passed By & Didn't Acknowledge Me. I Didn't Realize There Was Live Music On Saturdays And/Or The Weekends. It Was Pretty Loud, I Couldn't Hear Myself Talk!!! The Shrimp Ceviche (Marinated In Lime) & Shrimp Gobernador Tacos Was Fresh & Pretty Good.

    What a fun spot. Ambiance is colorful and has some popping music. Food is pretty good too.

    Food was yummy but their chilaquiles that were spicy were way too spicy for me. I can usually eat super spicy. The other dishes were good. We liked the margarita flight. Pretty and yummy. They had fresh squeezed pineapple juice. They have great entertainment! We came for brunch with five girls. The mariachi diva group is awesome! Great for birthday brunch after church because they only have this on Sunday mornings. The corn butter cake was really good and they sang with signs to my sister for her bday. It's very loud in there but the decorations are so nice!! They have very tequila you could possibly want.

    Had Birthday breakfast this morning for my granddaughter.

    My granddaughter had her birthday here, and let me tell you--first time visiting and we rolled in like we owned the place after a solid one-hour road trip . Totally worth it though! Everyone was happy with their food (which is rare--there's always that one person), and no complaints at all. Safe to say we left full, happy, and already planning our next visit!

    We added the center pieces and table center cloth. Restaurant proved black and red linen.

    Celebrating a birthday at this location is keen to a good time. Rating 5 for service, food, hospitality all around 100%. What a day spent with family and friends over 2 dozens folks joined us to celebrate a phenomenal woman. I highly recommend the back room to reserve for a well deserved meal and less disturbance from the main dinning area. My sister got a great deal "special" to reserve the back room with private doors. That was a bonus. The supreme part of this day was our mother's smile. We decorated the side door with balloons and back drop and a classic photo of mother. Very intimate decorations. The back room has beautiful ceiling floral arrangements and you can't miss the big pink sign in the back wall. Pictures to follow. I dropped a point due to the ridiculous high charge for my michiladas. We paid $30 for 2 -16 ounce glass with a modelo cervesa, plus a tip. It tasted well but I was not going to buy another! $26 dollars for an old fashion that my hubby paid, is out of control. The drink did not have a burbon. Budgets for an events are everything but I probably wont go back due to how the cost of two drinks were close to 40 bucks. Also the bill for the event had an addition mandated 20% tip. As a customer I choose the tip amount. I highly recommend to rethink alcohol beverage pricing. Enjoy the photos!

    We went to celebrate a sister bday but we had a very bad experience. We had a reservation at 12:30 and our table was not ready until 1:00pm, why make a reservation? We were seated we had to wait 30 minutes for them to come and take out drink order. They gave us chip and salsa, chips was very greasy and salsa no flavor. We asked for napkins like 5 times and we were just ignored. We finally order the drinks but took like 30 minutes to bring them out. We finally ordered our food and that took a while to get too. The waitress never checked up on us if we needed anything. I order chilaquiles trio, sisters order menudo. Chilaquiles was bland no flavor and menudo was worse. We had to ask for salt, tortillas, chiles and oregano since they never bother to offer the condiments that does with the menudo. Very bad customer service and serve food with no flavor. They wanted to charge us for something that they made wrong. The only good thing about this place was the mariachis playing. Food overprice with no flavor, don't waste your time and money at this place.

    Birthday dessert - cheesecake option - not very creamy, super dense, not worth the $20 charge.

    Came here for my bday with my man and our two children. The place was chill for a Tuesday, we had the taco Tuesday special and the fish tacos were phenomenal. Definitely be back for those. We also ordered the gobernador tacos and those were mid. The music was chill for awhile and then they transitioned to live music which was not as fun as the reggaeton they were previously playing. But on the plus side, they don't charge for song requests, which is a nice surprise compared to other live music we've experienced at restaurants. Since we were celebrating for my bday, they offered a bday dessert but failed to tell my man that they were charging him for them so he ended up paying $20 for some mediocre cheesecake - being charged wasnt an issue but failing to let him not it's not complementary should have been disclosed. Our servers were great. Very attentive, very kid friendly and we overall enjoyed our short time there. Highly Recommend the fish tacos & the pitchers of Margarita but be aware that not all flavors are available in pitchers which is odd to me. Overall will be back for the fish tacos and the margarita pitcher.

    My cousin chose this place for her birthday brunch. We came on a Sunday mid morning it's easy to locate and parking was not a problem. I thought the place was going to be packed since it was Valentine's Day, but on the contrary, it was actually very empty. Besides our table there was probably only 3 other tables that were taken. The place is decorated very much like a lot of other Mexican restaurants that I've been too the Calavera Dia de Los muertos theme, which I actually love! So it was very colorful inside the place but it is not very big. They do have a patio area if you choose to sit outside, that area also empty. We were seated right away and the server offered to take our drink orders. We ordered a Margarita flight to share among the four of us, and honestly, they were not that great. They tasted very sweet and artificial. The server brought us some chips and salsa and those were actually pretty good! We ended up ordering similar plates steak with rice and beans and they were all just OK for everyone ..not terrible but not great. We also had ordered the queso fundido appetizer and it was brought out after the main dishes. They had a mariachi that was playing for about 30 minutes and they were decent...I think they were also probably wondering where was the Valentine's Day crowd ..they stopped playing shortly after..I'm not sure why, I wish they would have played longer. I noticed that they did a birthday singing and sparkle candle w/ mini piñata for birthdays so I asked the server to have it done for my cousin, well, I'm not exactly sure what happened because the server was MIA for a while and I'm telling you the place was very empty. When she finally showed up, she just showed up with a dessert but no birthday singing or sparkly candle or mini piñata. At this point, I was annoyed with the slow service and the fact that she ignored my request. I spoke to another waiter and I let him know that I had requested for the birthday singing and candle and he said no worries I got you a few minutes later he came out with a dessert and the candle. So I'm not exactly sure what happened there but definitely not a good first impression. Overall, I would not come back here not only because of the incident that happened but also the food was just mediocre and the vibe was Not viben. 2 stars for mariachi and the male server.

Atmosphere: The moment we walked in, the vibe immediately stood out. It has a charming vintage feel, with beautiful natural sunlight pouring in, making the whole space warm and cozy. Perfect for a relaxing weekend brunch or a casual meal with family and kids. Here are the dishes we highly recommend: Guacamole & Chips Absolutely addictive. The guacamole was fresh, creamy, and packed with flavor. We couldn't stop eating it. Steak Plate The steak was cooked perfectly tender, and the juicy corn underneath soaked up all the delicious flavors. Every bite felt satisfying. Pulled Pork Tacos Super authentic Mexican-style tacos with rich layers of flavor. The combination of refried beans and avocado sauce made them even better. A few small notes: The restaurant was extremely busy, so the staff seemed a little overwhelmed at times. Service was okay overall, but understandable considering how packed it was. Coffee lovers: Their coffee leaned a bit on the sweeter side for us, so if you prefer less sweetness, it's worth mentioning when ordering. Overall, such a fun and lively brunch spot in Old Towne OC. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area!

The carnitas themselves are the star--tender, juicy pork that's been slow-cooked to perfection with that signature crispy edge on some pieces, delivering rich, savory flavor without being overly greasy. It's seasoned just right, with a nice balance of porky goodness and subtle spices that let the meat shine. Wrapped in a large, fresh flour tortilla (they make their own in-house, which always helps), it's stuffed generously with the classics: fluffy Mexican rice, creamy refried or whole beans (depending on your preference, but both work great), chopped onions, cilantro, and a solid dose of salsa. I went with their green salsa for a bright, tangy kick that cuts through the richness perfectly, plus a dollop of sour cream and cheese for that creamy melt. No skimping on portions here--it's hearty and filling, easily a meal that satisfies for hours. At around $10 (give or take, based on current pricing), it's a great value in the area. The burrito holds together well without falling apart mid-bite, and the overall balance of textures--tender meat, soft rice/beans, crisp onions--makes every mouthful enjoyable. If you're in the mood for classic carnitas done right in a casual, bakery-taqueria spot with great salsas and a friendly vibe, this one's definitely worth grabbing. I'd rate it 4.5 out of 5--only docking half a point because it's not reinventing the wheel, but it's executing the traditional style exceptionally well. Highly recommend if you're near 728 N Tustin St in Orange! Pair it with an horchata, yum

We also grabbed a flaky pastry in the attached bakery (I didn't catch the name), but it was perfectly buttery and light.

If you're looking for solid Mexican food with consistency you can count on, this is a must.
