Three pancake plates
Two dollar added if you want syrup
Three dollar toast
Five dollars for 8 ounce orange juice
Four dollars for coffee

Our breakfast was a total of $73 with Tip over 80 if you want three people to have pancakes and eggs and toast and bacon in the morning, not to mention, the bacon was burnt the sausage was burnt probably the size of half my finger absolutely ridiculous pricing they were cleaning with Fabuloso when we came in so overpowering We all were very disappointed

Myself and two friends were looking for a good breakfast spot. We don't like chains, so we looked for a mom and pop breakfast spot, and came across Jenny’s Country Kitchen. But Jenny's was packed, but the taqueria in the same Plaza wasn't. So we thought to give it a try.

-The service at Taqueria Los Santos is standard. Not excellent, but not bad.
-The food wasn't bad either. Kind of unremarkable.
- The price was outrageously expensive, especially considering the food was standard taqueria fare.

We were prepared to pay around $40 to $50 dollars for breakfast, as my friend's entrees were $11.99 and mine $10.99. We also each had an orange juice and 2 cups of coffee. Grand total: $73 and some change, not including the tip.

Charging $5.00 for an 8 ounce glass of orange juice is ridiculous. Also, $5.00 for a cup of coffee is equally ridiculous. I mean, they charged us $2.00 for a small cup of syrup for the pancakes we ordered.

So at the end of our mediocre breakfast at a taqueria, we were out $80.00. Which is approximately how much we would have spent on a 4 star breakfast elsewhere.

Won't be back. Why would we when we can get double the quality at half the price at many other local businesses? If the owner is reading this, you're going to have to get competitive if you're gonna keep up with Jenny's Country Kitchen a few spots down. There's a big reason they're packed and you're not.

*UPDATED REVIEW
That reply from the owner really drills in the point that this place should be avoided. I'm a local guide for 7 years and I've never been replied to in such an unprofessional manner. Me and my friends are just one less customer?? Classy. Way to hurt your own business. We pride ourselves on supporting local businesses, but owners like you don't appreciate, nor deserve, customers like us. The review I offered is meant to inspire improvement, not a childish tantrum. 🤡

My wife and I were going to try this place out. But we're not going to now. Not because of the reviews, but because of the RESPONSE to the reviews from the owner.
Responding with such blind hostility to paying customers shows a deep lack of concern for the customer experience. A good business owner should be able to to take constructive criticism from the people who patronize their establishment, use that feedback to continually improve.
A business owner should never respond with hostility to people who spent their hard earned money supporting their small business.
This owner had the nerve to tell one customer that their underwhelming experience doesn't matter to him at all, he's just one less customer. I disagree. Those 3 on the review, plus me and my wife. Now that makes 5 plus all the people who we'll steer away from there in the future. Not a smart way to operate a small business.

I highly recommend this place, you really eat very well, the quesadilla is parboiled with the broth of the birria, that I loved, it gave it a special flavor, the Menudo is served to me well full of meat and without any grains, in other places they put too much grain, I recommend it is worth eating here the only thing that I almost didn't like was that they give you a more or less large glass of water, but it is not a tote glass in question at costs nothing more but from then on everything is cool 👍👏

The place is very small and some waitresses look at you with a bad attitude.

First off I luv this food at this place,but the service and the neatness I would rather do without, the two women running and taking food orders are taking food incomplete. I wipe my own table to edge the brunette server just wipe to floor,then they got upset when we decided to get our food to go. Need to retrain workers from top to bottom
