Loved everything from the food to the atmosphere to the drinks. Took the shared plate, wide variety of food which made us taste various new things! As for the drinks, the bartender, Max, eased every step of the way when ordering by being quick and responsive while still making great cocktails :)

If you’re looking for your next ladies night, Santos has got your back every Tuesday night! With their 35 formula you get 2 plates and unlimited drinks all. night. long. (you read that right!) We ordered the shrimp and pork tacos which were both very good, although we preferred pork! The fries were delicious and crunchy, the cheese platter was diverse and the charcuterie platter was definitely worth it. As for the dessert, we got a chocolate mousse which was good but not a must-have. The DJ was GREAT, he was mixing it up real nice and the whole vibe was really fun!!

Amazing staff in general. Very welcoming. Abraham crafted some of the best cocktails I've had in a long time and went above and beyond. Vibe was cool, great music, cozy but chic house music feel. Coming back every time I'm close by

Honestly, this bar is amazing. Max, one of the staff members, was very attentive and offered us fantastic recommendations for activities and places to visit in the city. Thanks to his suggestions, we enjoyed our stay to the fullest. The atmosphere of the bar is great, and the drinks are delicious. The food surprised me; it’s of a really high standard! I will definitely return and recommend this place to my friends!
