    So good we came here twice! The best 1 euros tacos in town I believe! Definitely come early if you want to try the al Pastor. We arrived after 10pm and they were ALWAYS sold out. Line is usually out the door but moves quickly. We tried everything else and they were all delicious. Ordered one of every taco! Super authentic Mexican tacos in Spain! Loved it! Skip the margaritas. They're overly sweet and artificial tasting.

    This place is a MUST while visiting Madrid! Yes, the wait may be long, but WELL WORTH IT! The meat is so flavorful, the tortillas are perfect, the vibes are right, and can't forget the Jarritos. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. It's that good! Do not miss out if you're in the area! Get there early or risk waiting over an hour.

    If I could come here everyday of my life I would! The absolute best tacos . They kept running out of the pastor taco so If you want to try it, i suggest coming earlier! FYI don't try to grab a table before putting your order in. They won't let you sit down lol. The line moves quickly so that's a plus.

    May I say WORTH THE WAIT!!! So we decided to hit this place up due to the yelp reviews. Once we got there we were like holy carp this line. We decided to wait as we spoke to someone behind us that stated he was here yesterday and it is worth it. So we waited a good 25minutes. But once we got there we ordered the tacos al pastor, quesadillas and chicken tacos. Oh yea and sangria and Micheladas. My fav was the tacos al pastor. Drinks were also great!!!! You definitely also have to add the sauces they place on your table onto your tacos.

    This was my favorite restaurant I've been to in my whole semester abroad. I got 2 tacos, a quesadilla, and a drink for less than $10. Most tacos are only $1!! Don't let the cheap prices fool you--the food is amazing! It was the first time I'd gotten spicy food in a long time. The line to enter was long, but more than worth it. The menu is in Spanish, but the waiters are generally helpful. Once you order, the food is so fast to come out too!! One of the major highlights of my semester abroad.

    Tamarind juice.

    5/5 the best tacos in a while. I live in America so I eat my fair share of Mexican tacos and these were outstanding. There was a bit of a line but worth the wait. We ordered the tamarind juice and 2 (cactus tacos) 2 (pork tacos). After ordering we sat down and our food came out promptly. The cactus was really cool I have never had a taco like that with it's light flavor and cheesy goodness. The pork was divine I could eat those every day and be super happy. I highly recommend you stop in to get a break from all the traditional food in the area.

    Some of the best tasting tacos I've had in my travels. The veal taco and chicken taco are delicious with a touch of their salsas -- take a pass in the napales. At a euro a taco, you can't beat the value. The favour and quality was surprising great!

    THE BEST tacos in Madrid! Friendly staff and great atmosphere! Long lines but completely worth it

    Make timer to visit this taco shop. Went to both shops near central Madrid. Out of the two this one is better. Ingredients are the same so whats the difference? Staff here just prepares things a little differently. The tacos and quesadillas were not as greasy here. There is a wait but the line moves quickly. Quality food at a more than reasonable price.

    Tacos and beer. Each taco was one euro!

    Most people only know of the one in Sol, but this one in Plaza Mayor is bigger and there's more room to be able to sit.

    After trying all manner of tapas, this was a refreshing change. I'm so glad I've had authentic…read moreMexican food in Mexico and in Detroit's Mexican Town many times so I know how good it can be. Santita stands with the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. To start, it already stands out from every other restaurant I've visited in Madrid because of his beer selection. Instead of ordering Cerveza, and getting the one beer the place has, you have nice choice of Mexican beers, served in a bottle. Negra Modelo, one of my favorites, was among them. Margaritas are small, but cheap (5€), tasty, and potent. Guacamole is creamy and robust, served in a stone mortar, as it's traditionally been made for centuries. The tortilla chips are thick, and not particularly salty, but they're a perfect pairing to start the meal. Please, please order the Los Ignacios...the most perfect Mexican pizza you'll ever have in your life. The description on the menu says "our version of the traditional nachos". For Americans, this evokes tortilla chips with melted cheese, onions, and peppers with low grade meat. Here, you get a thin, crispy crust layered with pico de gallo, cheese, beans, guacamole, meat...yes, similar ingredients in crappy bar nachos, but so, so much better. Tacos are tiny discs piled with meat. The tacos de pollo (chicken) is covered in a rich crema, with small pieces of lean chicken breast. The tacos de chochinita had a massive mound of marinated pork. All had pickled red onions on top. My wife didn't like all the crema, but I did. The pork was excellent. The burrito de pollo was massive and suitable for sharing (though our friend didn't want to share). It has excellent rice with the chicken. We had tried to order a side of rice previously, and we were told it couldn't be ordered separately. Not sure why that is, but this is a great way to get it. Yes, we were stuffed by then. No, we didn't stop ordering. We closed with coconut ice cream, which was pretty standard, but the margarita ice cream? Wow. It's a scoop of ice cream that gets a shot of tequila dumped on it. The sweetness balances the tequila beautifully. Service was also excellent. We ordered a few rounds of drinks (lost track of how many...oops). All the things we ordered set us back 93€. What a great way to experience authentic Mexican cuisine.

    Just happened onto this place, and it was AMAZING! The first impression is how cute and unique the…read moredecorations are and what a nice atmosphere they create. I had no idea it was Mexican food when we first walked in and thought what's the big deal since I have Mexican all the time in the U.S. Boy, was I surprised! They did such an impressive job of combining such a variation of flavors and bringing them all together in each bite. The food was something I would expect from a top-level chef. We wanted to eat everything on the menu and really wish that we could have done so. A simple taco was such an incredible taste experience. Whatever they used to create that flavor fest was just delicious. Wish I could go again!!!
