    Steak Burrito carnitas
    Samantha P.

    We stopped by for drinks and a light bite, but unfortunately, this place didn't meet expectations. The service started off well and they took our order promptly, and since it was freezing inside, we moved outside to eat. It wasn't noisy you're able to have a conversation in there. We ordered two passion fruit mezcal cocktails, a steak burrito, and a steak quesadilla. The food was disappointing. The quesadilla was tiny, made with a small taco-sized tortilla, and it came with no lettuce or sour cream. The burrito wasn't much better. The portion was small and didn't justify the price at all. When it came time to pay, we paid in cash, but the server said he couldn't give us our exact change because the register was locked and he didn't have access. There was no apology or effort to make it right. Safe to say we won't be returning.

    My tortilla for 7 dollar each taco wasn't cooked. It was hot and they had flies , the servers were nice tho.

    My tortilla wasn't cooked mind you each taco cost seven dollars. It was hot. They had flies in the restaurant . The server was nice. I was able to get a refund.

    Been wanting to try this place down the street as I heard good things about it. A bit pricey for street tacos and I thought they were just ok. Don't think I'll be back, but they weren't bad. Just better options available.

    La Santa Taquería is a good place to go get mexican food with family or friends. You can get from tacos, to burritos, to quezadillas, to gringas and more. The food is good, the service is good, the atmosphere of this location just normal. Indoors and outdoors seating area. They have variety of mexican juices and sodas, as well as happy hour drinks. It also has some cool mexican decor.

    Gentrification is getting deeper and deeper into Little River and the restaurant industry is leading on that front, which I appreciate being a foodie myself. La Santa Taqueria has kind of two places at one location here, the taqueria and the mezcaleria next door. While I had had tacos from another Santa Taqueria location and I knew they were good, the mezcaleria was the main driver for me here and reason why I drove over from downtown, not only for the tacos but the mezcal as well. This time, we were a party of three and started with the guac, then had nachos and elotes and finally finished up with asada and al pastor tacos. My favorite were the elotes, so buttery, tangy and with some spiciness to it. I would come back for them at any time. The nachos were pretty good too, a lot of flavors, overall a nice job. While the guac was just alright on flavor (missing some acidity and spiciness), the chips were the icing on the cake, so crunchy, love them. What I really didn't like were the tacos. I would rate them as 3 stars tacos. I gotta say they had a lot, like a lot of meat, but fell short on the seasoning. The al pastor ones were pretty bland and the carne asada, the meat tasted like boiled and barely seasoned. I really appreciated all the meat but I kept looking for flavors and didn't find them. If they were seasoned better, those tacos would be the winner. Lastly, we had mezcalitas and spicy margaritas from La Yolanda Mezcaleria(sister bar next door) and they were delicious. They perfectly paired all the Mexican food we had. I will certainly return for more delicious Mexican food and many more margaritas!

    Was really craving a good Baja fish taco and this placed served me one of the best tacos* I've ever had. I ordered an elote, carnitas taco, asada taco, birria taco and an order of Baja fish tacos and a spicy margarita Everything knocked it out of the park! Not only was the space so cute! The carnitas are amazing! La mejor carnita que he probado! Las tortillas were to die for! The birria was so well seasoned. Only thing I would've preferred was to have the steak chopped smaller. I live in homestead and this place is about 45 mins away and I will definitely make the drive to experience it all over again! Luis was a great server! Friendly and very attentive! 10/10

    Al Pastor, Carne Asada and Cheese, Campechano
    Alex R.

    Strange to see negative reviews here since I just had an amazing albeit quick lunch here...the tacos were absolutely stuffed with meat and the proteins were grilled to perfection with a nice amount of char on a tasty double corn tortilla. I had the Al Pastor, Carne Asada and cheese, and the Campechano. I'm pretty snobby about my tacos and found these to be amongst the best I've had in Miami and comparable to some in CDMX. The only thing that turned me off was $4.50 for a can of Coke Zero which is just too much. Will be back for more tacos!

    Super yummy little homey restaurant with delicious food. The tacos were super flavorful and the guac was delicious. We had a few rounds of margaritas as we were on happy hour. This is a great spot to come and hangout.

    Steak Burrito
    Maydee M.

    Stopped in for a weekday lunch and ordered the steak burrito, which was a solid choice. The meat was flavorful, and it came with a fresh green sauce that added a nice kick. I'm not big on tomatoes, but my dining partner loved them. Service was friendly and quick, and the place wasn't too busy, which made for a chill lunch spot. Would come back to try more.

    Baja Shrimp Taco!
    Adele R.

    Amazing tacos! Always hits the spot! I recommend going on Tuesdays if you like a good taco Tuesday deal! 3 tacos with your order and trust me they may look small in the photos but they are so packed with flavors that trust me you will be full. Service is always excellent. Fast. Efficient. They really treat you like royalty. Everyone is always so nice. It's like you're stepping into a home and fully welcomed. Very relaxing ambiance. Great music. Always great for groups or even a solo date! Don't play yourself, treat yourself!

    I have heard so much around this place and I can confidently say it lives up to the hype!…read more Finding parking nearby is a bit tricky as it is only street parking and there's only outside dining available. The music selection is fire though and I was jamming out the whole time while waiting for my food. I complimented them on the music selection and they mentioned the owner is dominican and puerto rican which explained the great music selection. I was helped out by Adrian and his service was helpful in finding what dishes to order. I took my food to go and it was piping hot, definitely made fresh to order which I enjoyed. The nachos were what I was most eager to try as they are all the rage on social media. They lived up to the hype and that nacho cheese is absolute gold. I love that it's served in a pizza box. It just makes it iconic. It travels well and everything was still hot when I got home. The Al Pastor taco was just okay, nothing to write home about but now the steak burrito was really really good. I love that they don't have rice in their burritos and instead replace it with potatoes, which is absolutely delicious. They give two different types of salsas with your order plus limes and the green salsa is unreal. Add it to everything for a flavor boost! All in all this place is fire and if you're craving nachos, this is definitely the place you should come to get your fix!

Ever since I tried their steak Caesar salad I've been obsessed. That was my usual from there for 5 years. 2 nights ago we ordered from uptown and when we got our order I was so angry I didn't want to even eat my food. 1. Steak literally looked like wet dog food 2. They no longer do the frisée salad instead It's just plain old Romaine lettuce 3. For some reason they stopped giving their salsa now which was the highlight of my order 4. The container is so small and the egg was so hot that it melted all the Parmesan cheese and it was just a nasty glob 5. The eggs were so over boiled that they had that grey tint on the yolk and smelled horrible 6. 2 salads cost almost $50 so jokes on us Never again!!! I've literally banned uptown from our house. The audacity to charge so much for a mid salad topped with nasty dog food looking "steak"

My dinner plans changed last minute due to the weather, which was heavily raining and decided on Lolita despite not having reservations. Upon arrival we were instructed to go upstairs where the very young and inexperienced host could not figure out the system and said sorry there was no availability to accommodate us. We left disappointed and while going downstairs I decided to pull uo their booking site to confirm availability. The system reflected several available time slots for dinner. Kudos to the downstairs host that accommodated us immediately once I showed her the system reflected availability. The servers were truly incredible downstairs and I appreciate the very attentive and charming service provided throughout the evening! I ordered a beet salad which was almost perfect but was lacking feta or goat cheese which I highly recommend they consider having in the kitchen. The oxtails tacos were delicious and very filing. I also enjoyed the brown dessert. Thank you for a yummy evening with fantastic service!
