I came with my family of 6. They helped with all my dietary requests as well as for my nephew who is very picky. The service is super nice and understanding. Place is super cute. Food came out incredibly fast. Food was very tasty and good portions. Music is hispanic and good. Definitely a good time!!

We had wanted some Latin food and remembered we had been by Santi's on several occasions so we stopped in Very nicely decorated with a ton of pictures decoration and music Service was quick, I think we had our food in less that 15 minutes and it was delicious. We will be back again loved the food and atmosphere.

Lovely experience! We each had an entree and a shot of Luna Azul tequila with a beer. Nice and spicy salsa. So many comforting trinkets and decor. Fast.

I had a great experience at Santi’s Restaurante Mexicano on Meeting Street. I ordered 3 tacos, and they were fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. The service was friendly and attentive without being rushed, and the food came out quickly. The atmosphere has a welcoming, laid-back vibe that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your meal. It feels like a local gem in Charleston, and I can definitely see myself coming back again soon. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Mexican food!

We went here for supper in late October and the decorations were so beautiful! We ate inside and our waitress was so nice!! The food was soo good! I had the beef tacos and the tortillas where definitely hand made! So fluffy and flavorful! Highly recommend

Love! Love! LOVE!! So glad my daughter suggested Santi’s…it is funky, the food is delicious, and the servers are friendly and attentive. The salsa has just a hint of heat and the chips were tasty. And my veggie burrito was yummy!! I will definitely be eating here again!

It was the perfect day to sit outside and Santi’s has this amazing jungle feel to their outdoor patio with the sun peeking through the trees and the nice breeze was so nice. They had a pretty extensive menu and a lot of options so I was feeling torn. They offered authentic Mexican tacos which I love (American style was an option too) Our servers were two very nice ladies and were very attentive despite how busy they were. I was happy to find out they had Caipirinha’s! My friend nachos were a huge, I got the enchiladas verde which was good and the star dish was the camarones a la diablo. If you love shrimp, garlic and spice. You HAVE to get this dish. It was seriously addicting and you got this delicious homemade guacamole that they put back inside a half shell which I thought was so cool. I am literally only eating that from now on when I come here. It was a great time with friends and food!
