Honestly best Carne Asada Fries I've ever had. I grew up in Pacific Beach. I remember Santana's closing for a while then bringing business back up in the same location and over the years the recipe has stayed the same. Packed with layers of those memorable Mexicans flavors and the brown and red salsas they have available and come with the plate if you order online, just superb. It tastes just like it did in 2008 while other businesses have skimped on toppings, variety and size of the plate Santas has kept its recipe years strong. Thank you 🙏🙏

Giving a full 5 stars despite my wife being disappointed with her fish tacos. Very small portions (very unusual) and overly salty (also very unusual. But care was taken on special instructions which is HUGELY important because she has celiacs and a dairy protein allergy). The Plain Chips were fresh and excellent, my veggie burrito was excellent as always. I do feel bad for someone out there (who will probably b*tch loudly) because we received a "bonus" full order of carne asada chips that we didn't order. So, thank you, I enjoyed them as much as I could since they don't reheat well (felt bad about wasting food, but way too much for me). Extra appreciation for the extra green salsa! I drink it from the little cups. Yum!

in a sea of terrible overpriced mexican joints this one is solid.
one thing I don't like is the paper that they use for the Carne Asada Fries. it tears easy and gets soaked so you can easily eat a chunk of paper

This Machaca Burrito is the best breakfast burrito I've had in San Diego! Just absolutely perfect combination of marinated beef and veggies and eggs! The taste blends together so well. 10/10 would recommend.
