Service was quick and nice! Food came out pretty fast fast. Was not very busy on a sunday. Had really cute decorations up though. For the pre game we had micheladas and that was SO good. I was craving an authentic one and they delivered. Will be back to try another michelada.

Cute spot but over priced. I've come here several times over the years - their happy hour/daily specials are a good price but that's about it. Stopped by recently and ordered the Puntas Al Chipotle which is sliced steak with onions and peppers in a chipotle sauce. The dish is swimming in sauce with barely any meat. For $20, I expected way more steak. It does come with rice and beans though. Friend ordered chicken quesadilla which was good but $15 for a quesadilla just seems like a lot - it's literally cheese, chicken and tortillas. Margs were $12 each which isn't bad. When we got our bill, our two meals, 3 drinks and chips/salsa came out to over $100 which seemed like a lot. For the two of us, although the service was fine, they added an automatic 20% gratuity which seemed odd. Usually when gratuity is automatically added, you have to advertise that somewhere on the menu, which they did not. Cash only they don't take cards. I think I'll stick to their happy hour - the value just isn't there for the money spent.

Stopped by here from recommendation from a friend. Two tacos with lots of meat and guacamole $9. You pay for each individual tacos. Also got the vegan burrito bowl. Couldn't finish it. Have another meal out of it for $14. Nice place for a meal and they gave 2 big screen tvs showing sports which was nice.

This was a super cute place to grab a couple tacos with friends. They have plenty of outdoor, indoor, and bar seating. Their tacos were absolutely huge! I normally eat three tacos and am still hungry, but two of El Santo's left me stuffed. I got a cochinita pibil taco and an al pastor taco. Be warned--the cochinita pibil is quite spicy! The habanero peppers really give it a kick. The meat on both tacos was deliciously seasoned and wonderfully tender. The guacamole on top was also so creamy and yummy. I saw that they have a really great taco Tuesday deal, so I'll have to be back soon!

This place does not take credits cards despite what it says on this page. Waited 30 minutes at 1:30am for my takeout order only for the waitress to tell me they only accept cash

El Santo is a must visit dinner spot in Bushwick! Their meals are super affordable and I have never had to wait to eat. They have a great taco Tuesday deal, two tacos and a marg for $14! I first visited when touring my first Brooklyn apartment last year. I now visit regularly because they have a great vibe and I have had nothing but amazing experiences with the wait staff.I like to post my meals on instagram, and whenever I tag the restaurant their owner always comes up and chats with us. It's super sweet and makes it a far more personal experience! On to the food and drink, their chimichangas are to! die! for! Please start by ordering that. It will fill you to the brim. Any of the meat options will be great with it! I'd also recommend any of their tacos, the tortillas are sturdy and they're always full of meat. 2 tacos are probably sufficient though you could go for 3. I love their margaritas, seriously I am tipsy off of one. By the time I finish the second, I'm nearly done for the night lol. There is a great waitress who has asked me if I like my marg sweet vs savory vs spicy and has made me the best margarita of my life. I cannot recommend El Santo enough.

Shit service! I came with my niece, who got food beforehand, and they didn't even let her eat her food! They were gonna make her eat in front of me! Unconsiderate and rude! I do NOT recommend!

Love coming here after thrifting nearby!! Food is great and their portions are pretty big. The Al pastor taco was really well seasoned and juicy. Almost every dish comes with guacamole which is great! Don't skip out on the nachos, those are really good at too. I wish they gave us metal utensils instead of plastic forks but it's okay. Vibes are great and music is playing. Very fun vibes if you come at night. Very cute spot with great decor. They also have $25 bottomless mimosas for brunch

Had a late night Sunday meal at El Santo Taqueria. After missing kitchen hours at a few other spots, wound up here and was not thrilled with what was served.Quality: A last resort when looking for late night food and the meal was barely passable. The Guacamole & Chips came with barely any chips and the ones they provided were stale. The Guacamole was okay, but very mild. The Steak Chimichanga was disappointing as well. The fried burrito had a soggy wrapper, cheese that was still cold, and overdone steak. This may have been a product of our late visit, but if you are going to serve food late, you need to do better.Quantity: Not enough chips in the bowl, but the other food items were huge portions.Value: $15 for Guacamole & Chips. $17 for a Steak Chimichanga.Ambiance: El Santo Taqueria is a Mexican spot located in Bushwick. They have a massive outdoor area, with rows of tables and a huge street shelter, as well as pretty large indoor space. The bar sits towards the back of the indoor space, with several televisions hanging on the walls. Doors and windows open up, so it feels like an indoor-outdoor space. The music was traditional Mexican songs. Crowd: A small crowd as one of the places nearby open late.Service: Bare-boned late night staff.Parking: Lots of nearby street parking.
