Santana’s Mexican Grill

I just want to give you guys a heads up. This place is expensive 20 bucks for a carne asada plate. Still expensive. It was expensive the last time I went I just forgot.better places than this for sure. Oh and one more thing I noticed a customer spilled the Jamaica drink and a good employee would offer a replacement. Not this place. They charged the customer for another one . That's not customer service for sure.

Food is alright. They lowered the quality of meat and raised prices. With inflation I don't blame them but don't lower your quality. Just be transparent with your customers. For their carne asada they used to use shoulder (which was decent) now they use sirloin tip (which is tough and part of the leg muscle) they also forgot my tortillas for my carne asada plate which is just basic. I also asked for no crema on my quesadilla and they didn't care they still put it in there 3 stars cause you guys are alright but it's hard to recommend this place. I hope the guy making the food washes his hands often because he has no gloves on. They also took like 15 minutes just for two items and cars were just piling up behind me. I can't imagine how long they were waiting for. There was only one car in front of me. If there is two cars waiting... I'd just leave.

First time at Santanas in Santee. I was concerned because I found two bay leaves in my burrito (Chili Reno burrito). The woman working the drive through was very short and negative attitude, not friendly!!

Had a bad experience a few years ago and thought I would give Santana's another try. Pulled up and parking lot was empty. Waited for two minutes at the drive-thru order screen before somebody asked for my order. I gave my order, a burrito and drive up. There was one person in front of and they received their food within a few minutes. I pull up to the window and nothing. Nobody came to the window to take or anything. For ten minutes, I sat and waited. Somebody else ordered food and the guy taking the order did not come to the window. After ten minutes, I drove away without my food. It was not busy and no reason at all for such shoddy service. I won't give them another chance.

Burnt flautas and they charge for drink refills. This place has gone so far downhill I don't believe I will ever come back to this particular santanas. Although the one in mission bay got worse also...

Carnitas nachosVery flavorful! Not dry at all :) great balance of flavor! They also have a lot of sides to choose from!

I love it. Great Mexican food served at this location and it has never let me down. I could eat here every day. Plus they have horchata, which is great. Not every place has it.

I really like there street tacos! I go there all the time for them and they are delicious. The other food is I've tried has been good as well and I like the convenience. I always use drive thru.

advertising as 24/7, went through the drive thru and it wasn't open. too expensive to run their business like this.

Idk why it has such few stars! We come here almost weekly for the $2.30 TJ tacos! And every now and then I get the grilled chicken burrito! It's all always fresh and delicious and we love the salsas. Y somos mexicanos y nos gusta mucho lo que hemos probado de aquí! I love the drive thru option. Anyway. This Mexican recommends the cheap, fresh and delicious tacos and salsa for sure!
