    We went with the family 7 of us in total. Service was great. Staff were very friendly and it was a good atmosphere with salsa dancers going round tables. Everyone enjoyed their food. I enjoyed mine but just didn’t make the right choice.

    I recently visited El Santo, and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The concept of a BBQ grill brought to your table sounds fun, but in reality, it was a disaster. The service was *extremely slow*—everything took forever to arrive. We waited an eternity for the grill to even get started, and by the time our food arrived, it was barely warm. To make matters worse, by the time the grill reached our table, most of the food was already gone. There was only enough left for one or two people, leaving the rest of us staring at empty plates. For a place that advertises a BBQ experience, you'd expect them to have enough for everyone at the table. The staff seemed disorganized and inattentive. We had to ask multiple times for basic things like drinks, sauces, which you’d think would be standard at a place with BBQ. It felt like we were completely forgotten about after being seated. Overall, the whole experience was frustrating and left much to be desired. If you're looking for a lively dining experience with good service, I would suggest looking elsewhere. El Santo just didn’t deliver.

    El Santo is an excellent restaurant. We have the Sunday Rodizio BBQ, which is excellent value. The meats were delicious, the sides too. The only thing I think would be better in the restaurant is if the tables are better spaced out, and slightly bigger tables as there isn't much room with the plates and drinks. Other than that, I'd say it was a 10/10 experience.

    Visited for my wife’s birthday and had the chefs tasting menu. All food was freshly prepared and served well by the attentive & friendly waiting staff. Decor is modern and eye catching, and music was great to make the atmosphere complete. Staff made a fuss over my wife for her birthday, and couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended, especially for celebrations.
