Santa Ana Bakery - Columbus Junction

OMG!! The tacos are TO DIE FOR!!!!! The hot sauce is amazing and the service is top notch! I recently moved to CJ and I will NEVER eat anywhere else in town!! Haven't had tacos this good since I lived in New York City!!!

Love it! Love it! Love it! Love it! Love it! Love it! You gotta stop by if you're in Iowa. This town has its own charm. A cute place with a real passionate chef. I was so happy I stopped in this place for food. The food was awesome we had chicken chimichanga, veg quesadilla, chicken taco pineapple cake. Every piece was delicious. The food was the least expensive i have ever had and portion was huge. Chimichanga was insanely huge. Call him for an order of tresleches, it is a bliss. Only thing to remember carry cash. No cards accepted. Chef knows English so ask him anything in English :

The tortillas from the tacos we ordered, you could tell it was from a packet, wasn't freshly made tortillas which was a bummer. The beef seemed as if it was refrigerated and heated up in the microwave, super chewy and terrible taste. Plus we didn't hear no sizzle or even smell the beef being cooked. The bread was not freshly made, hard as rock, and the bathroom looked like it was from a scary movie. Probably not returning to this place.

The el pastor tacos were the best I've ever had. (Second best were from a mom and pop restaurant in a large Hispanic neighborhood in Chicago. The owner can cook AND bake! His chips and 4 sauces (complimentary were delectable. The empanadas, coconut cookies, and rolls were perfection. I wish I lived nearby; I'd eat there several times per week!

I imagine, this is what it would be like if I had a mexican grandpa to cook for me. The bakery goods are phenomenal as well ??
