At La Santa Tacos, cocktails impress, but the food is just-fine - Review - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"La Santa Tacos & Bar in Midtown has had a lot of identities in a short period of time. It used to be The Lawrence and then it was Rwby. Now, it’s a taco spot where the drinks take priority, and the food is just along for the ride. The Mexican street tacos here are serviceable—the barbacoa is tender but lacks the punch of flavor needed to make it worthy of a reorder, and the camarones and pollo asado are fine, but forgettable. The ceviche is a miss with its dull marinade, while the nachos—stacked with tortillas, jalapeños, and cheese—prioritize size over seasoning. The cocktails, however, hold their own, especially the refreshing, citrusy, Mexican Sunset and the La Santa, which is bright and tangy, a classic margarita done right. When you're on Juniper and need a spot for drinks—with a taco on standby to soak up the tequila—La Santa will get the job done. Food Rundown Mexican Sunset Lighter than a margarita, this citrusy tequila cocktail almost makes you want to find the nearest pool float. A solid pick when you want a change from the sweeter and tarter margarita. photo credit: Sarah Newman La Santa A classic margarita, done right—bright, balanced, and tangy. video credit: Sarah Newman Barbacoa Taco The meat is tender but under seasoned. And the corn tortillas don’t bring much to the table. Not bad, not great. Pollo Asado Mildly seasoned and forgettable. Camarones One of the better tacos here. The shrimp is plump, though the seasoning doesn’t do much heavy lifting. Nopales Asados Taco The cactus is a little too slimy like it never touched the grill. Skip this. photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Jacinta Howard

You MUST come here! This place is so gorgeous! The bar and even the bathroom. Great location and welcoming atmosphere. The food was so delicious and the owner is so passionate about his authentic mexico city cuisine and the drinks are amazing! Definitely try the No Mames cocktail and the chocolate cake for dessert! An all around great experience!

La Santa hits all the right notes! The octopus and shrimp burritos were next-level delicious, the tacos and guac were perfection, and their homemade sauces brought just the right kick to every bite. Add in the warm, friendly staff, a great ambiance, and the bonus of catching a football game with friends—it’s the ultimate spot to unwind and feast. Can’t wait to come back for more!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Santa, and it was truly a memorable experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The owners are amazing a shout out to Jesus and Fernando. The Pulpo ceviche was absolutely delicious perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was exceptional. The service was prompt, attentive, and friendly, which made the evening even more enjoyable. It’s clear that everyone here takes great pride in what they do. I highly recommend La Santa to anyone looking for amazing food and a great atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu!

I had lunch here. Had the chicken soup, torta, and ceviche. Everything was delicious! The waitress was really nice and efficient. She even shared her personal coffee when we asked for a cup of coffee (they don’t sell coffee). The owner is also very attentive and high energy. I wish there was an option to have mor aguas frescas with no sugar. A lot of Gluten Free options.

Gihary was a fantastic complement to my evening at the new La Santa in Midtown. The food and drinks were very good and the service was excellent. I was surprised because I wasn’t expecting such great flavors. I look forward to coming back.

I had a wonderful experience at this Mexican restaurant. I tried the octopus ceviche, and it was absolutely spectacular! Fresh, perfectly seasoned, and with an authentic flavor that truly stands out. I also had the chance to meet the owners, who are charming and passionate people. This place combines excellent food with warm and friendly service. I will definitely be back soon. Highly recommended!”

I celebrated my birthday in la Santa last weekend and it was the best option! We were a big party and they gave us the best service, they were very kind making sure every second my birthday was the best and it was! Thanks to them. We felt like home, Nataly the manager, Julio the owner and the whole team are excellent people, with great energy, working together to make sure everybody is having a great time. The food is exquisite, the music is fun and the drinks are perfect. If you wanna have a great time, this is the place. We all loved it!

Ambiance was super dark and cool, music was fun but not too loud so you couldn't hear people talking. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was DELICIOUS. Really well seasoned chicken and steak tacos. Ordered a margarita as well and it was very strong. Highly recommend! Excited to bring more people here.
