    Amazing & delicious! Bean dip was so good, not sure how it’s done! Had chicken and pork tamales, super yum. Then we had skirt steak, Cornish hen, masa & cactus special, diablo shrimp - all were really great, amazing flavors. Gave ambiance 4 - nothing wrong, just a comfortable little place, but don’t expect fancy (I prefer not fancy). Service was excellent- attentive but not overwhelming. Would absolutely recommend.

    Hoja Santa was a wonderful experience for my husbands birthday, we started with the ceviche and guacamole because to quote my husband "this looks like a place that does small portions". He was wrong, one starter would have been enough for the both of us but I'm glad we got both. The ceviche was fresh and well prepared as was the guacamole. I ordered the special which was a new york strip that was perfectly prepared, my husband had the chicken milanesa that he enjoyed throughly. For dessert we had the nutella filled donuts which were hot and fresh and the ice cream that came with it was superb. I highly recommend Hoja Santa for your next night out in Oak Park.

    We ordered Christmas Tamales from Libertad and I decided to take my husband there for brunch and to pick up the tamales. I'd been there twice before with girlfriends for brunch. Once again it was outstanding, amazing food and very friendly service. We had the Pan de Avo, Panqueques, plus sides of Crispy Potatoes (the crispiest EVER!!!) and Bacon (with a lovely drizzle of maple syrup on them). Everything was just perfect! Will definitely be back again and again.
