If you're looking for just tacos this is a pretty good option! I don't recommend for you to pay extra for takeout rice and beans, they're stingy with the portion size. However when dining in they're a little more generous, and I was disappointed with the service, as the staff was not very friendly. Overall the tacos were good, hope you all have better luck than me! read more

If you're looking for a unique Mexican dining experience this is the place! The decor is absolutely stunning and the menu is unlike anything you might have seen before. They have 5 different options as to how they prepare your food and a great variety of flavors to choose from. I wasn't the biggest fan of their horchata (had chipped nuts) but the food was great and service was exceptional. read more

The ambiance was AMAZING!!! Service was good too, but I gave 2 stars because my plate was the worst "Mexican" food I've had I'm a looong time. Carne asada tasted spoiled with no seasoning and almost tasted boiled not grilled. For a burrito and street taco plate and 1 soda we paid $55! Such a disappointment. read more

Great food. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Great margaritas. Friendly staff. Fun art on walls.

This place is amazing folks! From the decor to the ambiance, this is probably one of the best Authentic Spanish restaurants I've been to north of the border. I highly recommend the gourmet street tacos. Holy Christ, they are taste rockets of gourmet taco goodness! Because there are so many choices, I left my fate in the hands of Sanna. She chose (4) for me but I can't remember which because I was too busy running thru them like a tornado on a trailer park. That said, just ask for Sanna when you come... You'll be in great hands. read more

I haven't updated my review for a looong time and it's way overdue. La santísima moved to a much improved location with way better parking and more space. The salsa bar is still epic. The space is full of beautiful artwork. The tacos were very good, especially the santísima special with steak...ooo yes. The prices are high, but it's good sooo.... Anyway, I'll definitely be back. read more

We came for lunch time and were promptly seated. It is a recently opened location, so not yet too busy. We ordered a total of 5 tacos, a soda, and one side of rice and beans. Tacos were really special and fillings were plenty. No wonder they are a gourmet taco shop. Dishes and tacos pay a homage to many regions and towns in Mexico. We cannot really pick a favorite one, the chicken, suadero, mahi, and asada tacos were delicious and fresh. The beans and rice were just ok, not really worth the extra for the side. Salsa bar was a treat! You can chose from a dozen or so different types. Strawberry, jicama, and peanut salsas are just a few examples. I would suggest adding three tacos as plate with rice beans, no extra. The tab was 52 dollars with tip for lunch. A little hefty for 5 tacos, rice and beans side, and one soda read more

Yes they are open. The new building and location are amazing. Parking is very easy now and there are plenty of spaces. The menu and the food were great. The service was great too. I just wish they put more nuts and fruit in my Horchata it seems like they were a little light on both this time compared to the old location. read more

Guy Fieri really brings the BUS to flavor town this time. The beans are sneaky my favorite part of this meal which is not to say that the rest isn't aawesome. There's lots of great Mexican food in the area and this doesn't disappoint! Plus great prices :) go try this awesome local business! Chips and Salsa: So many awesome salsas at the salsa bar. Their rule is eat as much as you want but don't be wasteful. There are plenty of options of varying spiciness, acidity, saltiness etc. So yummy and great on chips and tacos, but the tacos are so good they don't even need it!! Drinks: I only like tried the Margarita Mammacita which was pretty yummy but the mango was a little too big sometimes. Still pretty good. Food: I tried four of the street tacos and they were all really good. I'm not a huge Al Pastor fan (I know, I know) but this one was actually pretty good and not overly sweet. The rice and beans were soooooo good and authentic. Splurge for them :) Tips n Tricks: there's more parking to the side and rear of the building not just our front. They only split bills evenly. And just because you order to-go doesn't mean you don't get a salsa from the salsa bar (3 to be exact). read more

Extensive selection of tacos. Their mole has a nice depth of flavor. The general atmosphere is ok.

Stop. Do not pass go. Do not eat anybody else's tacos. These are the best tacos of my life. Every bite was incredible. Each taco was so different from the next. Clearly made from scratch and so authentic. They also have a salsa bar with at least a dozen salsas to try. If you like horchata their house one is so delicious and unique. The staff was friendly and on top of things. If you are in Phoenix you've got to try this place. read more

Tacos can be eaten anywhere but I wanted to try the Mexican food AZ has to offer while in town. The atmosphere was great very cool bar setup and decor. Service was great my waitress was helpful. Sadly the food was a BIG miss for me! I didn't get tacos, but instead got a shrimp dish and based on the menu description I was expecting FLAVOR and it was lacking BIG TIME. I enjoyed the drinks and salsa bar which were the STARS in my opinion. Overall for me I would just stick with the chips, salsa, and drinks. read more

Fantastic authentic Mexican food and the best margaritas in town! We love the decor and fun, rustic light fixtures.

Really confused on the rating for this place. The atmosphere is nice and that's about it. The food had absolutely no flavor at all, it was honestly kind of impressive. I will also say that we didn't have drinks, so maybe that's where a better experience would have been? It was us and two other tables and the service was horribly slow which didn't bother us terribly but just something to be aware of. read more

Being new to Authentic Mexican food, this restaurant was the place to go . Our server, Jimena, explained the whole menu to us, even telling us the servings are large and may want to split them. I told her my likes and dislikes and Jimena made a few suggestions to us. We went with tacos with pork for me and shark for hubby! Also a quesadillas with were huge!!! The food was delicious, and the salsa bar had over 20 different salsa! We would highly recommend this restaurant and definitely ask for Jimena!! read more

A wonderful new location (post covid) that is inviting and satisfying. A huge menu, and food is very good. It's one of my local spanish go to restaurants whether to sit down with friends (large tables available) or just an easy take-away. The new building with the awesome skeleton trees and bright colors is an example of good taste. read more

Very disappointed. Went here based on review. First problem was address apparently changed, had trouble finding it. Interior not what I saw on website. Very drab, lots of unframed Mexican art on walls. Menu very hard to understand, mostly in Spanish. The burritos we got had little flavor and contained more rice than meat. We thought they came with rice AND beans but got no beans. Just bland tasteless rice. Only a trip to the salsa bar saved it. My wife and I each got a burrito, she got a margarita ( said it was good. I got a bottled beer, no draft beer here. After tip, the bill for 2 burrito and 2 drinks was almost $70. Way overpriced for what you get. read more

So many choices for tacos and salsas. The Jamaica was delicious and although the horchata is famous and interesting, no one loved it as much as expected. The prices were very high for everything. A good once in a blue moon spot. read more

We had but one evening to ourselves in Phoenix and La Samtisima is what we chose for dinner! Wow! We arrived early at 5:30pm before the incredible line started and were able to come right in for a table. Thankfully, we were able to try everything from tacos to tequila and guacamole and enjoy it all! We got our leftovers to go as the service was unhurried and friendly! We had our late dinner*2 that evening in our hotel at 11pm+ and made it out the next morning on our flight back to the east coast! We look forward to returning! Family calls and family needs comfort when times are tough! Add guacamole and life is good! read more

Really wanted to love this place as it came recommended by a family member. Ambience is nice, but waitstaff were not welcoming at all. It was like they were bothered with us spending money at their location. Salsa bar is cool, but there is a sign noting 3 salsa tastings per visit. The containers are half the size of my recommended NyQuil dose. Complete turnoff. Not to mention 1 basket of chips whether you have a party of 1-5. Not a great look. Food was good, presentation was great. Queso Fundido was fantastic. Paid over $100 for a party of 3 which did not include any alcoholic beverages. Overall, there are many better options in the Phoenix area. read more

We went to the new one on 16thst and Indian school. What can I say but OMG amazing. There was no need for alcohol (pending license). The horchata amazing. The best I've ever had. The art work everywhere beautiful. You can actually buy it. Servers are very attentive explained everything on the menu. It's alot to take in. The food most of all is absolutely perfect. The salsas, the ingredients, the flavors. Compliments to the chef. I normally do not write reviews although I had to for this restaurant. Please come by an experience this place yourself. Be advised it is worth every penny. We will be back again. Thank you and keep up the great work. Oh by the way who do we need to speak to about the artwork? Alicia Ruvalcaba read more

So good!! I came here on New Year's Eve right before it closed and was so glad I got to try it. I went with the street tacos combo (3 tacos with sides of beans and rice). I loved that the food came on a hot plate because my tacos never were cold. The unique spices and flavors in each tacos were so delicious. You get a free order of chips per table with access to their various salsas. The guacamole was surprisingly spicy! read more

I found out the BEST TACO place!! This place is a gourmet taco heaven for vegetarians as well as meat lovers. We got seated right away and our server got us chips and told us to help ourselves do the salsa bar, that has more than 12 different types of salsa. They even had a peanut salsa and pecan salsa!! Every salsa on that bar was so good. My fav was the strawberry salsa and this hot habanero salsa. Hubby tried the street taco plate, which was delicious. You can choose any 3, he has the chicken Tinga, Barbacoa and shrimp. I had vegetarian tacos, one was with deep fried avocado dipped in beer batter served over cabbage and this amazing sauce. Also tried their Santisima vegetarian and cauliflower taco. It was so good!! They serve their quesadilla deep fried, my son had that enchilada style. It was huge, he loved it. The margaritas looked amazing, so many different choices, I hope to try at my next visit read more
