El Santo Taqueria Brooklyn Brooklyn Reviews
Santo Restaurante is a very pleasant place: exquisite Mexican flavors, fantastic cocktails, and a super cool atmosphere. The service is friendly and efficient. 💳 They now accept card payments, which makes it even more convenient. 📍 It's definitely worth a visit.
One of my local favorites! El Santo always is delicious, fast, and they have great customer service. Their homemade chips and salsa are addictive, and their birria tacos are the best!
I visited Brooklyn for my birthday and our group accidentally found our way to El Santo. We are so thankful we did because the food was delicious (shout out to the fish tacos and plantains, in particular!) and the margaritas were delicious.
I’ve been coming to El Santo for a long time and it never disappoints. The food is always solid and delicious, the vibe is super fun, and the bartenders are some of the friendliest around. They’ve got a cool back area for private events, and sometimes they bring in a DJ and turn it into a little party. Whether it’s for tacos, drinks, or just the atmosphere, El Santo is one of my go-to spots in Brooklyn.
Good tacos, the portions are smaller than I expected. Food was very good though. No high chair for my kid so eating was kinda difficult. Nice vibe and overall ambiance. Would return again - if I’m not starving and seeking a snack.
I’m a regular. You should be too. Solid guac, among the best. Robust burritos and mean cocktails. Eggs just as you need them at Sunday brunch. Airy and legit vibes. Come hungry, not hurried.
From the dedicated server, Steven, to the bartender who made the best drinks, David, my experience was one that truly was one to remember. They even remembered our special food allergy even amongst the busy day. Would 100% recommend
I have eaten at all the famous taco places in NYC, Tacombi, Los Tacos etc etc but this place my god this place hits the spot. There is nothing better than this spot. It is worth the hike out to Brooklyn because these tacos are life changing. I haven’t even finished the last taco before writing this raving review. The service is quick and we felt well taken care of. It’s cash only but there is an ATM on site with a $1.50 fee which isn’t bad at all. Incredible food and great atmosphere. Would come back again and again.
Nice corner restaurant. The food is very flavorful and the portions are not shy plus loaded with meat. They definitely do not skimp on the meat here. The nachos are not your conventional nachos. At first I was confused but after tasting them I was wow. I definitely recommend El Santo. Only one down fall and it’s not with service and or food. The one down fall is they only take cash. It is very worth it. The price is good, service is great.
Stopped by this spot for a post-work drink and it was a pleasant surprise. This spot has a bright and breezy, open atmosphere, perfect for a casual hangout. I enjoyed a Spicy Margarita and a Madelo beer, but be warned: it's cash only. Prices were reasonable for the neighborhood. Overall, a decent spot to unwind. IG 📸 @adventureofourlifetime
It was very difficult to get the waitresses attention multiple times even though she was literally in the room and not at other tables. Food was good although the nachos come with at most 8 chips. frustratingly comical.
I do not have a problem with the staff, the ambiance or the food. I do have an issue with the 20% tip being included on the bill and tax being added after the tip. I am not a fan of tips included but if the service is ok I generally just accept it especially if I had a good time, however we were taxed for gratuity. I will say they did remove the tip and gave us a new bill when we complained. What I didn’t like was the fact that we were told three times that no one has ever complained which is irrelevant and made me feel like we were being petty. In any case we paid the bill and exceeded the 20% gratuity.
