La Santa

LA SANTA IS A NEW PLACE IN CORVALLIS. They've only been open for about eight months and they're still working towards full capacity.

They're in the old NY Pizza building across from the Samaritan center on 9th. You need to keep your eyes open to see them. There is a heavy tint on the windows and you can't see inside! They're working on outdoor signage.

Once you find your way in though, the food is great, and unique. They call it a fusion - American Pub meets Mexican flair, and it works well.

We stopped in on a Saturday night and had the "Holy Mole" (say mo-lay) burger (with a honey mole glaze, pepper jack cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion) and the "American Torta" - with chicken, lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo, chredded cheese and crema. Both delicious.

They also have a selection of bottled drinks from Pacifico to Jarritos, and an impressive selection of Tequila's. Word has it they make a mean Margarita.

The owner also let us in on the plan for Salsa dancing coming soon! Muy Bien!

Get down there and have a burger, you'll love it.
