Burritos are bomb! My coworker recommended and did not disappoint! Good price, meat, and size. Did I mention their salsa verde is out of this world! Never tasted anything like this- so good.

The food is super good at Burritos Santana. The only negative thing is that there is usually a long wait in the drive thru. They take their time and make quality food. They do have a walk up window too. I just discovered they are open 24 hrs.

I want to clarify this restaurant gets mixed reviews that are actually about a similarly named nearby spot. This Santana is NOT 24 hr. If you see a review mention that, it's wrong. I have been eating here regularly for eight years; sometimes embarrassingly often. I eat (not in a single order ) fish tacos, pozole, carne asada fries, bean cheese rice burritos, potato tacos, machaca burrito, breakfast burrito, and cabeza tacos. I'm a huge fan of all of them. Reasonably priced and well prepared. The food is fresh, the fries are crispy, the burritos are hefty and well rolled. I'm always trying to convince myself to try another Mexican spot because I'm embarrassed how often these guys see me but none within 6 miles can compare.

The food was fresh and definitely made to order. It was the first time we tried them and will be going back. The TJ tacos were just the right size and they didn’t skimp. The kid’s meal for my daughter was more than enough.

I had the crispy potato tacos plate for the Wednesday special. It was only 8.99! And it was very good. I definitely will be going back because I love how they have the entire menu with a picture and prices making it easy.

I rolled through the drive thru for a chimichanga...surprised when I got it (it looked imax sized) tasty but seemed empty within. So I got a birria taco, surprised it was almost 4 for 1... and it really wasn’t good. The attendant was friendly though (so I didn’t feel empty within...only remained a hungry man) Review done. Visit my insta for bus life travels (not drive thrus..because of clearance height) Instagram @orbshuttle
