Review La Santisima Gourmet Taco Shop - Phoenix

Amazing authentic taco spot! We ordered take out so I can’t speak for the service but they were incredibly friendly and patient while deciding which tacos to get. The flavors made my taste buds dance! The silence while everyone enjoyed their tacos and the raving about the flavors and toppings afterwards — this is a place I will continually recommend to people! Side note: when ordering take out, the rice and beans come in an extremely small container (also the size of the salsa container).

This place is a must experience. The food, art, and service was amazing. From the appetizer guacamole to entrees and our drinks, these flavors are on a whole different level of taste. I can't wait to come back and try more!

Christian our server was the best! The food was amazing! The art work, decor and location super! Cocktails were delicious! We had the Cadillac and the blue demon 😈, the blue demon margaritas featured chili and salted rim, that complimented the blueberry margaritas. Both margaritas were strong and really well made! So many many good food options, any way you could imagine. In a taco, burrito, an enchiladas or a salad! The meat or vegetarian choices were numerous. Like being at a top notch New Jersey diner, the menu was endless! Every single thing we ordered was spectacular! A huge salsa bar too to choose from, like 25 different salsas, ranging from super hot to mild, many fruit salsas too. All really amazing!

The beans!!! Literally better than my mom's beans... the tacos de mole with chicken were great, the bisteck was great, the third one I didn't eat because I was full. The Agua de horchata was different in the best way. It have cinnamon and pieces of melon. So refreshing and such a generous amount. The waitresses were so nice.

Really cool vibe. Super good tacos! I loved the Oaxacan Black Mole and La Santisima Specialty Chicken. They have a salsa bar where you can get a variety of sauces. It was a little expensive, but a good time! Our server explained the menu and gave great suggestions!

I can’t tell you anything these reviews haven’t already so I wont bore you. Just know these aren’t your average taqueria tacos. These are 5 star tacos! Full of flavor and salsas are great. Margaritas were good too. Thank you to Christian for the 5 star service. We will be back a million times!

This is one of the best holes-in-a-wall I've ever been to. The atmosphere was very cool with lots of Dia De Los Muerto vibes. The tequila selection is great. But the food is a different level. Get a "quesa". But to be confused with a quesadilla. It's like a masa empanada, but gourmet-inspired fillings. I can't wait to go back to Phoenix area, so I can come back here. So many more quesas and salsas to try.

We would LOVE to share photos of our food, but we ate it too fast because it was DELICIOUS. We arrived and parked in the odd lot and walked in the huge door, then were seated in about 2 minutes. They have a vast array of salsas at their salsa bar, and an offering of roughly 80 tequilas. Then there's the options of tacos.... so many! They bring you a basket of chips and you get to visit the salsa bar, the Mexicano salsa was my favorite (more traditional and super fresh tasting). We had a guacamole appetizer which was great, their version is chopped and includes small pieces of pineapple which round out the very fresh taste nicely. The margarita I had was tasty, and my Husband's Michelada was very tasty and HUGE. They add worchestershire to their mix which adds a nice depth to the flavor. Our very awesome server Elbia (sp?) was great, she asked if we needed any explanations on the menu and welcomed us as first-time guests. Her service was friendly, prompt, and impeccable. Then our taco platters arrived - WHATTT???? They were all fantastic, just delicious, so tasty. We tried the El Pastor pork, Tamarindo Mahi Mahi, the Chilango Suadero (my favorite), and the Baha Sur Baby Shark (recommend no Mayo sauce, also the shark is perfectly fried). The rice tasted like it was cooked in a broth, maybe chicken, and the beans tasted like my Grandma's (bacon fat flavor) although a different texture. We each had a beer as a second drink for a roughly $85 total. Just a photo of the aftermath. Totally worth every penny and highly recommend!! 😋👌

We went here for lunch because it was recommended by one of the foodies I follow. They push the fact that they make gourmet tacos, but I personally think they were just tacos. We got the carne asada, pollo, and al pastor. They were all solid tacos. But next time, i have to try something more authentic to really see what this place is about.

It's one of my favourite restaurants in Phoenix!! Can not recommend this place enough, all the food is exquisite. My go-to's are definitely any of the quesas and the fundido.
