    The Taco Tuesday Special at Santos was great! We tried the Passion fruit, dragon fruit, and pineapple margaritas they were all full of flavor! Our party also enjoyed a glass of Sangria and of course the presentation of the fire lime on top was immaculate! We ate guacamole (it would hit bigger with homemade chips) but the flavor made us scrape the bowl! Rice corn and the assortment of tacos (shrimp, mushroom, beef, chicken, pork) we had them all im a corn tortilla girl but i was encouraged to try the flour by our lovely server Angelica and she/it did not disappoint i don’t think id order a flour tortilla for a taco anywhere else but santos! It’s our Taco Tuesday spot for the summer we stayed until closing the music and vibes were just right bartender and chef were friendly.. only thing missing was Hookah! (praying hookah becomes available on tuesdays)
