If you're craving authentic Mexican food in Chattanooga, LA SANTA is the place to be! 🌮 The birria tacos are a must-try - arguably some of the best I've ever had! The Al Pastor is wonderfully seasoned, and the guacamole? Absolutely divine!

The casual atmosphere, complete with a cozy fireplace and live music, makes for a delightful dining experience. The staff is incredibly friendly, and our food came out promptly. I also loved the fresh fruit drinks... So refreshing!

A little tip: parking can be a bit tricky if you're not local. Overall, highly recommend! 🍹✨
