    The food here is always amazing and, while it's not the cheapest, it's worth it for the atmosphere and the margaritas! The service was a bit down on what I've usually expected in that we were waiting a bit before anyone acknowledged and seated us and there were times when our glasses were empty and no-one came to offer us a top up which is unusual. Otherwise it was a great lunch!

    Food ok (esp guacamole) but expensive for what it was. Service was slow. Had to ask to order, for bill, to pay etc brought out mains before starters were finished and noone really checked on us. Wine was terrible for price (10.5% and nearly undrinkable) Place looks gorgeous though and staff were friendly enough

    The big issue was most of the food ordered, either came out wrong or was missing. Although this was due to a technical issue with the restaurants systems, it impacted the enjoyment of our event. Not even a complimentary drink was offered.

    From the moment we walked in until the time we left the staff and service was fantastic, the selection of food was great and the cuts of meat were delicious and tender, myself and my wife will most definitely be back and will highly recommend you try El Santo at least once
