The Taco Tuesday Special at Santos was great! We tried the Passion fruit, dragon fruit, and pineapple margaritas they were all full of flavor! Our party also enjoyed a glass of Sangria and of course the presentation of the fire lime on top was immaculate! We ate guacamole (it would hit bigger with homemade chips) but the flavor made us scrape the bowl! Rice corn and the assortment of tacos (shrimp, mushroom, beef, chicken, pork) we had them all im a corn tortilla girl but i was encouraged to try the flour by our lovely server Angelica and she/it did not disappoint i don’t think id order a flour tortilla for a taco anywhere else but santos! It’s our Taco Tuesday spot for the summer we stayed until closing the music and vibes were just right bartender and chef were friendly.. only thing missing was Hookah! (praying hookah becomes available on tuesdays)

I was visiting with family that I do not see often. I was told that I could pick the place that we go. I am unbelievably disappointed that this is the place that I picked. I regret not taking the most recent review into consideration. You will see that the menu has a higher price point and you will think “okay” “this must be finer dining” then your $14 Appetizer (Two Empanadas) will come out accompanied by a plastic black saucer on the plate… I am not exaggerating about this. The server (Gabriel) was apologetic. He could have been busy but it could also be that there is an automatic 22% gratuity added to the bill of a party of 6 or more so it must have just been okay that our food came out scattered. Two of us finished eating by the time that the other three received their order (with 1/3 actually getting the wrong order and having to continue to wait because it was “accidentally delivered to another table”) but this still left the last person entirely without their order (any order) so the whole family ate by the time that the last meal was delivered. Sure - It was comped from the bill - but we do not just get to “go to dinner” any weekend night. We should not have been allowed to book a reservation if “more than one person called out.” Food was not worth the extreme wait. There appeared to be a complete lack of care. Were we offered a free round of a mysterious shot that the bartender came up with? Yes. Why would we suddenly want a shot though? We asked the server “what is in this?” and he replied “the bartender made it up” so he did not know. This shot prolonged us getting our check now even further because it was not dropped off at this time. The manager did not think it was necessary to stop by not even considering the fact that we even had to remind the server that the same person at our table (that did not get his entree) also did not the second drink that he ordered. I cried out of pure disappointment after this experience.

Nice ambience but not worth the price for each dish! It’s expensive and very small menu to choose from. Nice location but if you end up paying for parking on top of all doesn’t make sense at all. Waitress was great though!

Mala comida, es un lugar más para ir solo de tragos y escuchar música, te sobre atienden para que pidas algo a cada momento y nos trajeron la cuenta sin pedirla con unos tragos demas, revisamos y luego nos trajeron la cuenta correcta
