I was a bit hesitant to go to Santi’s tacos after they changed locations but I'm so glad I did. The food was amazing. I ordered the street tacos with el pastor. So good. Definitely will be back!

This picture doesn’t reflect the current atmosphere or exterior of the building. Not sure what it was like before, but now it is more modern, cold and has music with the bass low like in a club. The $1 taco is a bait and switch because 1) they are not $1-closer to $2 and anything other than meat, onions and cilantro is extra. We ordered with chips and salsa and the tacos were given to us in an to go bag. There isn’t a Taco Tuesday special, really. We won’t be back.

I swear they’re more busy than the bar that they serve out of. I loved them when they were at their previous location and I love them now. Great homemade chips and salsa, awesome tacos and tortas. My favorite is the Al pastor. Amazing flavor and always great service! Anytime you’re in San Marcos you have to stop by this place.

Really wish Santis did not move location. This used to be my favorite taco spot but since the move it has gone downhill. Pricing has gone up which is understandable but the quality of the food has gone way down. Even the taco shells do not taste good now. You cannot buy drinks like lemonade or horchata anymore. It’s not run by the same people anymore so I can see how things have changed. Unfortunate.

Paid $52 after tax for 24 street tacos. Not a single one was hot, the meat was very old, and it was overall a disgusting experience. Place has really went down hill.I wouldn’t have enjoyed those tacos if I was blackout drunk.

Santi’s Taco has moved to the Aquarium. We enjoyed their tasty nachos and delicious street tacos. However, the Santi's Taco we ordered was too big and fatty for our liking. Despite that, the overall street tacos were excellent, and I recommend trying them at this place. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing, with an inattentive and unresponsive waitress at the Aquarium.

San Marcos is already low key a great foodie town, but when i lived there for a year, i found this spot as a food truck and i these were the best loaded al pastor tacos i've had. Top 3 at least. So damn good. It didn't take long for them to open of their full blown restaraunt just across the street which is so deserved. Will go back everytime im in town! This was all like 3-4 years ago, so they were good enough that i never forgot.
Santi's have moved to The Aquarium Bar down the street. Still same great food. Delicious Bistek andouth watering al pastor. I love to get some of their horchata, and have the bar tender make me a rumchata! (They need to get their horchata maker fixed) The best menu item is their Pirata; it's massive, loaded with cheese,avocado, cilantro, and protein! Also the charro beans are freaking delicious.

Loved santis before the move. The food still rules but I don't love going into bars and I did appreciate the drive thru. That was kind of fun.

This place used to be so special. In the old location before you moved to the Aquarium the tacos tasted like they were made to order and were stellar. Now they are mass produced for the bar scene. We’ve come to the Aquarium location frequently hoping for the fresh experiences we used to enjoy so much, but it has been dry and disappointing every time. Your delicious tacos are missed!

It was nice, quiet and clean. Food was great, like no complaints. I really enjoyed the hot queso with chips. My bf would've liked it thicker, but I think it was perfect. The music was good. I wish they had a jukebox app lol I felt like it was the same music or same artist on repeat, though. I will definitely go back; it was a nice experience.

We been wanting to come and try the street mini tacos and BIG disappointment only one tortilla instead of two, ? the tacos were falling apart they were extremely soggy and oily and the beef flavor was not good, also super expensive and our “bartender waitress “ was MIA and the new place not a cozy at all and the atmosphere It doesn’t go with the food, I don’t recommend this place ?
