Picture of Santo, W10 5TD

Historical version 8 of Santo, W10 5TD (view current version)

Hoorah! A good Mexican restaurant in London. Why are there so few in this city?

itsbruce visited this restaurant with some colleagues in November 2008 to check out their lunch deal (available on weekdays between noon and 3pm), which offers a choice of "big bowl of soup with a quesadilla" or a burrito, with a (non-alcoholic) drink, for £5. The burritos were very tasty, a good size and well presented. All who attended will happily go back. The food took a while to arrive but this may be because we were the first customers of the day.

The regular menu includes burritos (mostly £7.50 or £8.50), tortas (£6.50 to £8.50), bowls of stew/rice/beans (£4 to £8), quesadillas (£5.50) as well as salads and side dishes. One or two vegetarian options are available in each category and they have a children's menu. They also do takeaway and on weekends they offer a breakfast menu, so I will be coming back to try their Huevos Rancheros.

The venue itself is plainly but pleasantly decorated, with seating for about thirty people inside as well as a bar and outside seating. Warning: it can take a while for their heating to kick in, so dress warmly if visiting earlier in the day during cold weather.

The bar offers selected margaritas for £5.50 on Friday and Saturday evenings after 10pm.
