   First time here at Casa Santa. Overall it was a good experience. Atmosphere is fun and lively. The drinks are excellent. We were seated promptly and ordered appetizers and drinks and these arrived quickly. After that, everything slowed to a crawl. Server vanished for 10-15 minutes at a time. Dinner took a long time to arrive. The food ranged from average (calamari appetizer, which was way too tough and chewy) to excellent (langostinos) to well below average (churros were pasty and underdone). We will give this place another try when it is not so busy since there was quite a bit we enjoyed. Service and speed really need to improve however.

   Food and service were excellent! I tried the enchiladas this time. Loved them all (it’s 4 types). Drinks were good. Chips and salsa always good!!

   The carnitas were extremely dry and not very flavorful. Ambiance of the restaurant was great!

   Our group had a great time and enjoyed all the food. Loved the table side guacamole and tacos.

   My crema de poblano was over-salted. The short ribs were mediocre.

   Visited Casa Santa with our family for New Years Eve dinner. Food was fabulous, especially the table side guacamole. Our server, (Alex or Alfonso perhaps?)was amazing too.

    Our server Silvia was wonderful! She was friendly, timely, and overall made us feel welcomed and taken care of. The food was delicious and plentiful! We had guacamole (super fresh and tasty), arroz con pollo, and pollo asado (the mole was very flavorful). We had enough for leftovers the next day. The cocktails are expensive though and the skinny martini seemed about half the portion of the Texas margarita, yet only 3 dollars less ($14 vs $17). The La Malinche cocktail’s mezcal was very smoky and completely overpowered the flavor so you couldn’t taste raspberry/ginger/lime. Overall the ambiance is great, the decor mostly tasteful (the fake hanging vines and basket like shades look cheap though). It was a very busy evening as it was New Year’s Eve and the line up to get a table was out the front door. I feel management could have handled those who had reservations more efficiently. It was a very slow process to get to the hostess and people in the line weren’t sure whether they should be lining up with the people who didn’t have reservations. But considering it was so busy, once seated, the flow of service went well. Overall, we would return but it wouldn’t be a regular place for Mexican food as there are several places in the area whose food is just as tasty but less expensive.
