Santy's Taco Shop

Stopped by here on a road trip the recommendation of ladies at next door gas station. Small roadside place with only a few tables, but very clean and cozy inside. The burrito I had was extremely tasty, served up fresh and fast in a simple paper bag. The man and woman working that day were very friendly and hustling; evidently they have a robust take out business with the local folks. Highly recommended!

Update: ordered a bunch of food yesterday (9/24/23) and they didn't give me the tortillas that come with the combos plate but they did give me the one I paid extra for as I was trying to have three tortillas between my brothers and all I was given was one.
For orders more than two items I would definitely go inside vs the drive-thru and then check everything. They're nice enough people but they seem to forget items or don't get the order right if it's too complicated. I'm marking the service down because of that

Original review:
Grabbed the Santy's Rolled Tacos on like day #2 being open.

Chicken version which were really good but would have been excellent if the carne asada they put on top wasn't fridge cold. I'll order them again, but I'll remind them to heat up the carne asada, gets some char off the grill to make it super tasty 😋.

Stopped for a breakfast burrito a couple days later. It was really good but for my tastes, I need to add another egg and more bacon. They were very generous with the potatoes, but that meant that you didn't get enough egg as the potatoes dominated.

Unfortunately service wise I am annoyed. They keep giving me a chili relleno burrito instead of just a chile relleno. That's the second time it's happened. Most people would be thrilled because you're only paying $3.50 and you get a whole burrito but we want just a chile relleno -solamente!

We also ordered bean burritos which are pretty good, we'll give it a 7.5 out of 10. Probably solid 8+ if you eat it there cuz it's nice and hot but we have to take it back to Heron Lake and by then it's only lukewarm. I'm not a big fan of microwaving so we just eat it that way.

Fina's nearby is rated higher but I found their food barely edible.

I think Finas have people putting in fake reviews and the locals are pumping up there numbers in support of them because they support the community. I say this because some of our visitors and year-round staff where I am camp hosting this summer say -IF- they go there it's only for breakfast burritos. I agree with them cuz I had a non-breakfast meal there and it sucked.

So, Santy's isn't perfect service wise yet but... the food doesn't suck. They keep giving me more food than I'm ordering but I would just like them to get the order right. ❤️

Churros were warm and fresh! Carnitas burrito were made with authentic carnitas style - pork roast lightly crisped. The rolled chicken tacos with guacamole sauce were amazing as well. Clean bathrooms and seating area. Very reasonable prices.

Happy Santy's has a location in Chama! Chama needed a drive thru something! Extensive menu, fantastic portions and excellent prices! Whether you're going through the village north or south, visit Santy's Taco Shop, even if it's just for an Aqua Fresco & churro!
