Tipped

An enjoyable & delicious experience

June 02, 2009

This is what good Mexican food should taste and look like - vibrant colors, fresh taste, and honest prices! The atmosphere is cozy and refined, the neighborhood is lively, and the owners are very generous and friendly. They include lots of vegetarian and organic offerings and very tasty, natural fruit drinks.
There's a reason why on most weekends, the wait can be longer than usual, but with one of their delicious margaritas, the wonderful music and relaxed atmosphere, the wait passes quickly.
From now on, whenever I'm in the mood for great Mexican cuisine, Santo is my choice!

Mexican home cooking at its best

May 12, 2008

Santo is a very nice Mexican restaurant and lounge bar which serves delicious food and great cocktails. The minimal look and the great care of every detail makes it a very enjoyable place where to dine and have a drink. Lunch and weekends' brunch are also very nice. Everything I had was really good so I find it hard to recommend anything in particular. Avocado is awesome and incredibly fresh, coming straight from Mexico! Also fresh juices are great and are the perfect complement to a 360° Mexican food experience. Burritos are very nice (either prawns and carne asada) and last night I had a very tasty enchillada de pollo. Starters are not huge but main dishes are very generous. I suggest to have a starter and a main dish each if you're hungry... even better if you share starters with your mates. All the crew is very kind and treat you with kid gloves. The best thing is that all this pampering comes at the right price! Despite many other trendy places (often only pretentious...) Santo's prices are definitely in the right range. I'm not saying cheap but I've never been disappointed by the bill
