Tried their signature menu for 2 people. Really like that they mix the guacamole at the table. Our first time trying ceviche and it’s pretty good. The pastel de pollo is alright. The tacos are okay, tried the beef Burris one and the fish taco with caviar, both are a bit bland. Had the picanha which is the rump cap and picked chimichurri with it, the rump is cooked nicely. The Mexican corn on the cob is lovely. Overall the food is okay, good atmosphere and lovely presentation of the food.
It was my son's 21st birthday. We had a great time. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I've been coming to El Santo fir different family celebrations and it's always great. Thanks to Mary Ann fir her kindness.Liz
Highly recommend! The staff were honestly lovely - happy to tell us anything and to stop to chat if they had a second about the food and drinks. Would really like to visit on a weekend after our lovely waitress recommended it due to the entertainment on! The food was OUTSTANDING! Big standouts were the beef croquettes, birria tacos and the steak - the chimichurri was delicious too. And don't skimp on the desserts! The warm pink colada felt like a hug to eat (The tonka bean custard was gorgeous, I wish I had a bit more of it) and the trio of desserts was a knockout for sure!
We attended the All-You-Can-Eat Brazilian BBQ which was really good. There are plenty of side dishes which they top up the through your visit if you need them. Chips, garlic bread, black bean stew & rice and dips among other things to get you going. But the meat comes round thick and fast and it’s all delightful…except the pork sausages. I wasn’t really a fan of those. Loved everything else though (Rump with Garlic and the Ribs being top of the list!) The service was fantastic (particularly from the dark haired girl with the nose-ring) but all staff were efficient and polite throughout. The place itself is really stylish and modern and has a touch of class about it. The toilets look great too for those of you interested in that sort of thing. There are cocktails aplenty! Would recommend for any sort of celebratory dinner or work do. The kids ate free on Sunday and whilst they were easily enough accommodated for there’s no set children’s menu so keep that in mind. Looking forward to a second visit soon!!
I went to El Santo with a friend and it was honestly the best dining experience I’ve had in Glasgow. Our waiter Wesley was amazing, so knowledgeable, warm, and attentive. The manager Sam and bartender Arthur also made us feel so well looked after. I tried ceviche for the first time (octopus, whitefish, and prawn in lime juice with red onion) and it was absolutely delicious, octopus is a must try! The habanero margarita, passionfruit margarita, and smooth tequilas were out of this world. The atmosphere is authentic, vibrant, and beautifully set. This is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Glasgow, I’ll definitely be back!
