Santa Ana restaurante y taqueria 187 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

"In all modesty and honesty, as a Mexican who has lived in CDMX, Cali, Texas and now NY for about 20 years, Santa Ana has old school NYC style tacos, with good, fresh flavors, but slightly bland from the authentics; delightful if you are ok with them being so. Great staff service and nostalgic old NYC taqueria atmosphere. Sweet diversity of costumers and staff"

"First time buying here. I purchased 2 tostadas and was charged 16 dollars (8 each), any other place gives them for half the price. (2 for 8 or 2 for 10 the most) I added a pic below to prove prices at a different place. Go one block in any direction for them, please. I also purchased birria (2 orders) and the consomé was watery, not the best seasoning either. So for everything 49. And this was take out, I didn’t even eat inside to be charged this much. Over rated."

"I had some pretty awesome al pastor tacos. My wife is a vegetarian any she was happy with the chili rolleno plate. Very good authentic mexican place."

"Decent tacos. Nothing too over the top. Good tacos in New York are as hard to find as good pizza in Florida. Something that upsets me is that people lack making the tortilla themselves . This is an essential part of the taco. The marinated meat was flavorful, but had too much salt. Fresh onions and cilantro are a must. The lines were a bit dry. For the price you’re paying, I would expect better tacos. They could do so much better especially since you can just go down the corner to any other Mexican deli for tacos."
