Hoja Santa is a restaurant that offers a unique dining experience. The service is known to be friendly and attentive, although it may seem understaffed at times. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including Sea Bass, enchiladas verdes with chicken, empanadas, and shrimp appetizers. The Sea Bass is aesthetically pleasing but may not be worth the $30 price point. The portions of the restaurant week menu are on the smaller side, but the food is generally well-received.
The dessert options, such as the chocoflan, are a highlight and are presented beautifully. The restaurant has a small bar area and high tops for seating. The prices are reasonable, and the menu features sophisticated and subtly seasoned dishes that set it apart from other Mexican restaurants in the area. Despite the rainy weather and impressive preparation and presentation of the food, the restaurant was disappointingly empty on some occasions. Overall, Hoja Santa is a destination restaurant that showcases the potential of Mexican and Latin American cuisine when prepared by a skilled chef.
