I had heard about Soriana's and considering how many taco shops we gave in Santee, I was curious how this one compared. So I ordered Carne Asada chips and a carnitas taco. Food 5 stars- chips were crispy and fresh, serving size was pretty big, carnitas was the perfect blend of crispy and soft. Both items were freshly prepared and flavorful with presentation in actual dishes- plate and bowl. Service 5 Stars - after placing my order I sat to wait and considering this is a taco shop I was surprised when my order was brought to my table not just called from the counter. Atmosphere was typical decor for a taco shop. Along with a moderate amount of seating for large or small groups. TV was on but at a reasonable level of volume. The tables, floors and countertops were all clean. Self serve soda station, refills don't include Agua frescas- that's customary. I didn't take a bunch of pics because there were other customers. I tried to find something wrong but all was 5 star. The counter at the soda station has a repair but that didn't affect my visit-the flaws were only cosmetic. I will eat here again.Parking: Location is in a shopping center with open / free parking. Plenty of spots to choose from.Kid-friendliness: Menu options seem to be kid friendly and modifications can be made - ie: no Pico

Love their food. Great family run business. They have some of the best salsas/hot sauce. One of the few places that uses real potatoes in their California burrito - so much tastier than fries.

Typical hole in the wall Mexican food. Try the fajitas burrito, with zucchini?

I decided to go there after my chiropractor appointment. The woman behind the counter was very helpful and good in customer service. I had the Carne Asada quesadilla and Coke. The carne Asada meat itself had no flavor, there were chewy pieces and a hard piece of meat that I was unable to chew. It was not too my expectations.

It was very good food and a nice atmosphere, but one of the servers told me she was going out to the beach with her pet rooster, I was a little bit confused. But overall, good experience and I very much do look forward to eating here again when the time comes. Very nice and neat experience, always recommended.
I live very very close to Sorianas, within walking distance!?? Their chicken rolled tacos passed my 13 yo’s standards, so that’s a win… But if you have a fountain drink Coke in a Styrofoam cup ADDICTION like I do… (IF YOU FEEL ME, YOU KNOW) than this is your place!!

Not sure why they have a 4.6 rating. Food is sub par. Portions are small. Not sure what the cheese is....doesn't look, taste, or appear like real cheese. Rolled tacos ordered without guacamole come with just "cheese. " Too many other choices in Santee to settle for this.

We tried their fish and their shrimp burritos, both were very tasty! I look forward to trying other items on the menu!
