“ Amazing Service Luv the servers and the atmosphere is amazing The food here is so good , the tacos outside are fantastic and the service was excellent ”
“ Santiago's is a quiet little place on Wible Rd. north of Ming Avenue. I think it must be more of a bar or have a late afternoon crowd, because when we stopped by for lunch at noon, we were the only people there. (It got more crowded quickly). The service is good. The lemonade is pretty strong. We spit the chili verde. I really like their sauce. Perhaps it could have been spicier. The salsa, guac, and chips were excellent. Our waiter was pleasant and efficient. This is a good place for a quick lunch to get out of the heat. ”
“ This restaurant has been around for a long time and I can tell why . It feels like a family run establishment warm and festively decorated for the holidays . The people inside are patient and kind , you can tell that they take pride in what they do. I ordered a lime margarita on the rocks and a chicken fajita salad. The margaritas come in several different flavors such as lime, peach , and watermelon. They're large and flavorful, while still being budget friendly. The Fajita salad was delicious. It had huge pieces of chicken, beans, lettuce and tomato all atop a tostada shell. This too, was budget friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I can see myself visiting often . ”
“ My friends and I decided to come here for a late night drink. It was around 11 and they don't close until about 2. There were waves of people coming in and out. I would say it's more of an above 25+ style bar. You can control the music by paying on an app. The drink menu is small but they can make you anything you like! Which is great. I decided on a margarita blended and BOYY was it strong! Their chips and salsa are great. ”
“ Santiago's is a wonderful restaurant and now one of our favorites for Mexican food. We hadn't tried it for several years and then decided to on a whim when we were in that area. The service is the best we've had at a sit down restaurant in a while. The staff is friendly and very attentive. Constantly checking in to see if we needed anything else. The food was excellent, great flavors and a very large menu. The prices are a great value, especially with the excellent quality. Plus margaritas are great and only $5! The inside is a little dated, but don't let that dissuade you- the food and service is top notch. They have bar area, a smaller dining area and also a back area for larger groups. ”
