“ Is you want good authentic Mexican tacos come here. They have the best Mexican food. Everything is so clean I think they are OCD lol this place is 10/10 ”
“ Best Santana’s location I’ve eaten at! Close to my office, so we eat here often. Love the rolled tacos, always very fresh, and they even have an option where you can get them served “drowned” in avocado green salsa - delicious both ways! The food is always fresh and never too greasy like Mexican food can sometimes be - I don’t know how they do it, but I’m thankful for the people who work at this location for making the food delicious every time. ”
“ First off the menu is a TV screen above the counter. Why was it TURNED OFF when I walked in? If your open for business it should be on. The food was excellent! I had a grilled fish burrito . It was delicious. And huge. But take cash. They charge a hefty fee for using a debit card. I will definitely return. They have weekly specials I want to check out. Also they make their own lemonade. It was really good ”
“ $6.50 bean n cheese but not in the menu is $3.99 just bean burrito, cheapest burrito in San Diego County n it's real size! Great seafood burritos. ”

About the Place
Santana's Mexican Grill
Santana's Mexican Grill, located at 10075 Mission Gorge Rd in Santee, California, stands out as a beacon for those craving authentic Mexican flavors. This local favorite has earned praise for its exceptionally fresh and flavorful dishes, delivered with a cleanliness and care that customers like Abril humorously liken to OCD-level precision. It’s not just about the food here; the atmosphere and attention to detail create a genuine dining experience.
The menu features standout items such as the rolled tacos, which Alxs Grlr swears by, especially when served “drowned” in rich avocado green salsa. This creative twist highlights Santana’s commitment to innovation while respecting traditional flavors. The grilled fish burrito, recommended by Missy Cruz, offers a generous portion and a perfect balance of smoky, tender fish paired with fresh ingredients. Meanwhile, Chris Bct points out the unbeatable value of the bean and cheese burrito, surprisingly affordable and filling, alongside their excellent seafood burritos.
What truly elevates Santana's Mexican Grill is the freshness and lightness of their cuisine—unlike many Mexican eateries where the food can sometimes feel heavy or greasy, Santana’s manages to keep everything vibrant and healthful without sacrificing taste. The homemade lemonade is another thoughtful touch, complementing the dishes with a refreshing acidity.
While there are minor hiccups, such as the TV menu being off at times or a cash-preferred payment system, these do little to detract from the overall experience. The staff’s dedication and the quality of food make Santana’s Mexican Grill a must-visit spot for fans of genuine Mexican cuisine in the San Diego area.
