    I have been to el santo before & I enjoyed it but this time , the menu was different & not a lot of selection for food . Ordered tacos they were ok, we also got sausages which for how many you get & how much they are ….not worth it in my opinion.

    Fab night at El Santo - a total dining experience. Service was immaculate and the food was first class. It’s a great atmosphere in a really stylish restaurant, there’s even a separate classy bar to enjoy after dinner drinks. The Latin dancers were an added bonus. Would 100% recommend this restaurant and a special mention to Wesley who made the night for us with his attention to detail, he really looked after us.

    Went for late lunch on a Thursday, so the restaurant was quiet. Greeted by the lovely Wesley, who took care of us throughout our visit. Had the lunch menu, good range of choices & a very reasonable price. Food was delicious & very fresh & full of flavour. Will definitely return.

    1st time visiting and this place is a Glasgow hidden diamond. The place itself is super cool, the lighting amd the art work are very trendy, staff are all fantastic. The hidden bonus is the 'day into nightclub' bar behind the restaurant! Finish your meal, walk 20 yards and you are in another World with a super cool vibe, live DJ and mixologist! Will 100% be back. Big shout out to Sam, Emmanuel and Murray! And the Latin dancers were just fantastic! Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed, I recommend dining around 630pm, perfect timing for the DJ who gets going at 8pm 👌❤️

    First visit here and very impressed. We arrived 15 minutes early for our booking and it was not a problem and got seated straight away. Staff were very patient with us as we did not know what to have and was not a problem to give us more time. Food was delicious and will definitely be back.

    Food was tasty but i felt expensive for what we got. Dreadful service. Had to ask for coffees and our bill multiple times. They eventually arrived cold and were removed from our bill. Nice venue inside but wont return
