Hoja Santa
“The chips and salsas are great as a starter with 4 or 5 different options that were very varied in flavor.”
“We were fans of Abistro, mourned its passing, and were intrigued by this new arrival in our neighb.”
“Nothing like a little post-marathon brunch…even if you weren't actually running in it!”

This is cute place serving up Latin fare and as can be expected, margaritas in Fort Greene. Much like the other places I've yet to try, i didn't get to try the food but i can tell you about the drinks that's available.
They have a well-stocked full bar although I specifically came here for margaritas during happy hour. Of course, i had to have a few just to get a good feel. They were refreshing however not otherworldly. Service is quite friendly and I'd imagine this would be a good lunch/brunch spot based on the offerings available. It was buzzing here on a Thursday evening despite the warmer weather that's arrived.
Bingo on a Tuesday is advertised everywhere and I'm not quite sure what to make of this, whether it be a geriatrics night out or what not.
Brunch review– for me, Hoja Santa provided a perfectly serviceable but relatively unexciting brunch. Take the omelettes- I ordered the veggie one which came with corn, kale, and zucchini, and a small side salad. The whole thing felt unloved, desperately in need of both salt and some kind of carb (turns out Hoja doesn't have bread – but our kind waiter sweetly delivered some corn tortillas). I felt the same way about the huevos rancheros which were beautiful looking but lacking a punch. Despite the somewhat bland food, the service was exceptional – the waitstaff is lovely and sweet, accommodating and genuinely nice.
Went for the 2nd time on this years Cinco de Mayo. The first they were def not as busy, this time they ran out of plates and were asking us to combine or took them as soon as they became empty.
Guacamole although small is delish! Salsa verde, pico de gallo and sikil pak are also fresh and delish! Chips are thicker tortillas that hold up well to any dips.
Elote had super sweet corn but toppings could have been a little more flavorful. Plantains are a nice side.
Tacos: Brussel sprouts is the best, short rib lacked flavor and is served in a hard taco, steak was tough and bland, fried chicken is a bit much.
I would always come back for the guac and dips but prob not the tacos.
