Santana's - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The food was fine, but I won't be returning because they ask for tips at the drive-thru window. The minimum tip option was 15%, and I don't want to support this trend.

My experience at this restaurant used to be great, as it was my go-to spot. However, on my last visit, they wanted to charge me extra for salsa, and the portions were tiny, especially after ordering a large burrito. I'm not sure if the ownership has changed, but this happened about three years ago, and I haven't returned since.

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely fantastic! I had the killer Cali burrito with carnitas, which was perfectly seared with a crunchy maillard on the meat. The burrito itself was massive and kept me full the entire day. I also tried the churro, which was very good, though it's best enjoyed hot and fresh. The staff was courteous and very helpful. I would definitely come again.

I frequent this place and consider it pretty much the best drive-thru Mexican food for miles around. I even bypass the one closer to my house and drive 4 exits down the freeway to get to this location. The food is excellent, and the service is efficient, making it a go-to spot for a quick and delicious meal.

My experience was incredibly upsetting due to misleading signs. Despite previous reviews highlighting this issue, the signs have not been taken down. It's time to get it together.

My experience at the restaurant was mostly positive, with friendly employees. However, I was quite bummed that they were out of mushrooms for the quesomush quesadilla. Despite this, the overall solid food made for a decent meal.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, primarily due to the incredible Carnita taco. I enjoyed it with just guacamole, so I can't comment on the salsa, but the meat itself was exceptionally tender, moist, and had a delightful crispy outer crunch. It was so good, reminding me of carnitas I had over 30 years ago at Rosarito beach. The service was excellent, and the guy at the register was so funny, which significantly enhanced our visit. While the atmosphere was quiet as most customers were getting takeout, the humor from the register staff made for a good time. I would definitely return to this spot if I'm in the area again!

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The food quality was good, but I found the prices to be too high. Inflation doesn't justify everything, and it's becoming ridiculous when you look at the prices of items like the bean and cheese burrito from two years ago compared to now. I often find myself going elsewhere where the portion sizes are bigger and the price is lower.

My experience at this restaurant was frustrating due to misleading signage. There were lots of posted signs stating a 24-hour drive-thru. While I understand that hours can change, the signs should be updated or removed. It felt like false advertising and was very misleading.

Beware food poisoning: I would give 0 stars if I could. My entire family got food poisoning, including our 5-year-old who had to be seen by her doctor for repeated vomiting. Stay away from this place if you value your health. The food was so bad it caused severe illness, and I strongly advise against visiting if you want to avoid a similar experience.
