" I can't rave enough about the birria tacos; they were absolutely to die for! However, my friend’s dish lacked some flavor, which was a little disappointing. The outdoor seating area is fantastic for warmer evenings, and the atmosphere is always buzzing. The service could definitely use some improvement, as there were several times we had to wait for our server. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Mexican restaurant experience I have had in a long time! The guacamole was made fresh at our table, and the salsa was superb! The tacos were authentic and packed with flavor. The only downside was the wait time for a table. I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance is lovely, my experience was marred by slow service. Our server was pleasant, but it took quite a long time for our food to arrive. When it did, the birria tacos were good, but I expected more from everything given the reviews. Worth a shot if you don’t mind waiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was very festive, and our server was attentive. The food left a bit to be desired, as the flavors weren't as vibrant as I had hoped. However, I can appreciate the effort the team puts into creating a welcoming environment, so I may give them another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Santo Cantina & Cocina was a mix of highs and lows. First off, the place is charming and has an authentic Mexican vibe, which is great! I loved the carne asada tacos, they were packed with flavor. However, the service was just average. My server was friendly but forgot my drink order. I definitely plan to give it another shot since the food was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations after hearing all the buzz about Santo Cantina and I must say, they were met! The carne asada fries were loaded with toppings and very tasty. The ambiance was lively, and I appreciated the themed decor. While waiting for our food, the servers checked in frequently, which made for an enjoyable atmosphere. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Santo Cantina & Cocina last night. We enjoyed the live music, which added to the ambiance! The tacos were flavorful, but I found the rice to be a tad bland. Overall, I would return for the atmosphere and the great selection of drinks. " (*Curated Review*)
