Hoja Santa, meaning “sacred leaf” in Spanish, is a Mexican pepper leaf native to Central America. The large, velvety, heart-shaped leaf is an herb similar to cilantro in that it has a unique flavor and is heavily used throughout Mexican Cuisine in salsas, moles, pozoles, and as wraps for meat, seafood and tamales.

Hoja Santa brings Modern Mexican Cuisine to the heart of Astoria. We aspire to share the art of Mexican cuisine with the community and anyone who enters our restaurant. We aim to prepare and serve fine, delicious food that you’ll love.
