I visites this Mexican restaurant this past Friday and dined alone. Overall, the atmosphere was one of the highlights of my experience. The ambiance was cool and welcoming, with a nice vibe throughout the space. The music was enjoyable and set the mood well without being too loud, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. The food itself was good and flavorful, and I felt the prices were reasonable for what was offered. From a value standpoint, I left feeling satisfied with what I paid. However, the service was a bit disappointing. My server completely forgot my lemonade, which felt surprising since it was a simple order and I was the only one dining at my table. While mistakes happen, it stood out because it required no special request or customization. Additionally, I had to ask for basic items like napkins. In my opinion, napkins should already be on the table or brought automatically when the food arriveshaving to ask for them felt unnecessary. With a bit more attention to detail from the waitstaff, this place could offer a much smoother experience. Despite the service issues, the good food, fair prices, and pleasant atmosphere make it a spot I’d consider visiting again.
We love La Santa. The food is always awesome and the staff always makes great recommendations. A true bonus is going during lunch $10 for this caliber of food is amazing. Definitely a must try!
This is one of our absolute favorites in Raleigh. We go for lunch and dinners when we’re are either in the mood or in the area. Great selection on the menu. The food is always fresh and hot and the staff is always on point. The drinks are incredibly delicious as they use all fresh products when making them. It’s always a treat for us to dine there.
Excellent Mexican restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious. I had the pozole and it was truly amazing. The “Mamá quesadilla" with Oaxaca cheese and tinga was also an excellent choice, super flavorful and highly recommended (the cilantro really kicks the taste up a notch). Drinks were on point too, with just the right amount of alcohol. Definitely recommend this spot!
