Santo (299 Portobello Road, London, W10 5TD) I know not much of Mexican cuisine – i guess i expected cheap food comprising of dorito style chips with cheese and beans, maybe a hot salsa on the side, its main objective to stop one getting quite so drunk on the tequila's… I was taken to Santo by a friend who'd been there and liked it, and i have to say i am truly grateful to him as my taste buds have now been exposed to a new experience. Delicious food and i'm guessing the real deal as the owners and chef are all Mexican. Tasty dishes with chile's that are not just ‘hot’ but are smoky and unique. Good variety of starters, with ceviche, guacamole etc. I have been there twice, and had a good experience both times. I recommend it and am now on the look out for more real Mexican quality restaurants in London.
