" After hearing rave reviews, I finally made it to El Santo and it did not disappoint! We started with the elote, which was out of this world. The tacos were next, and I can’t recommend the shrimp tacos enough—so fresh! The atmosphere was lively and just a great spot for a casual meal with friends. Service was fast, but I could tell they were busy, which is understandable. I was thrilled there was an ATM inside since I forgot to bring cash. A delightful experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love El Santo! It's been my go-to hangout spot with friends for months now. The selection of tacos is impressive, and every visit, I try something new. My favorite so far has to be the barbacoa tacos, which are so tender and flavorful. The drinks are fantastic too, especially their specialty margaritas. The only downside is having to pay cash, but with the energetic vibe and great service, it's definitely worth it! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy some killer Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lively place! El Santo nails the fun, casual dining vibe. I was lucky to join a friends' brunch and the drag show added a unique touch to our meal. The menu had tons of options, with something for everyone’s taste. I went with the mushroom tacos, and they were surprisingly delectable. The drinks were flowing, and the service was stellar. My only regret was not making a reservation as it got packed! I’ll definitely return for the next brunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had Mexican food all over the city, and I can confidently say that El Santo serves some of the best tacos I've ever had! The flavors are vibrant, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The ambiance is relaxed yet welcoming, making it perfect for both casual and celebratory meals. They only take cash, which is tricky, but they have an ATM, so it wasn’t a deal-breaker for me. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a casual spot with tasty tacos, look no further than El Santo! Their team really knows how to bring the flavor while keeping it friendly and welcoming. I particularly loved the barbacoa tacos—they were juicy and just packed with seasoning. It’s cash-only, but with the fun vibe and delicious food, it's worth the trip! Can't wait for my next visit.

" I usually am not a fan of Mexican food, but El Santo completely changed my perspective! The way they manage to encapsulate authentic flavors is outstanding. I tried the chicken enchiladas, and they were divine; the salsa was fresh and spicy, just how I like it. The atmosphere was lively, and it was a good spot to bring my friends for a fun evening. Yes, it is cash-only, which I found out the hard way, but they do have an ATM. Overall a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Santo is officially one of my favorite spots in town! They serve incredible food with a twist, like their unique margarita flavors that you won’t find anywhere else. The ambiance is enjoyable, especially when the live music kicks in! It’s always busy, and I can see why; their tacos pack a punch! I noticed they only take cash, which can be bothersome, but they have an ATM. Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)
