    First time eating in here, only been in for drinks previously . Food was really good, the only issue I can offer is the food was served rapid between appetisers, starters, main course. Never got the chance to enjoy the food we had when the next serving was straight to the table and before wr were even finished the food we had. Food was 10/10 though Unfortunately our table was a high table at the end of the bar which is the service area and this was filled with lots and lots of empty glassware waiting to be washed, It really did ruin the ambience as it was all cluttered and noisy with service staff clearing and getting drinks . It would be much better atmosphere in the main restaurant seating area.

    We tried the sharing menu - from start to finish it was excellent - the fish taco and the rib cab were the best we have ever tasted. Finished with the cigar desert which was incredible! Will definately be back.

    Really fabulous meal and staff. We had the guacamole which was made at our table, looked great and tasted wonderful. Tasty fried rice with pork as a main, and then a dramatic smoking chocolate cigar with hot chocolate sauce and ice cream for dessert. The staff, especially Scott, were very friendly, attentive and helpful. Only hiccup was the booking through 5pm.com in advance, that part was a faff but El Santo itself was all good!
