    stuff and the neat hanging candle.
    Daren D.

    Before heading out on the Victoria Clipper back to Seattle, I ended up here for dinner after a nice stroll from downtown. It's a neat, subtle-quirky space with a bar stepped up, mid-area with the door and I think a lower-set where all the windows are. Good service from the gal and my naranja chicken had a nice taste - totally new to me. Mix the rice in et voila, tres bon! Some interesting convo's next to me in the bar among both ends but hey, no offense with me, lol. On a nice shower-y evening, it's chill inside. Totally feel free to check this out when near the ferry.

    Eggs Benny. Sausage, poached egg and chipotle hollandaise sauce
    Julie D.

    I wouldn't say the food was amazing but it was good. The eggs benny had a good sauce, the muffin could have been crispier as it was hard to cut. The potatoes were greasy and crunchy. All menu items are $11 period. Probably would go elsewhere for breakfast, like one of the Irish restaurants in town.

    Delicious mussels!
    Kim B.

    For every person who walked up to the door step to read the menu, stop reading and just walk in. Everything on the menu looked delicious and I looked at everyone's food around us. We came in on Sunday evening. The drink special was $3.99 for Sangria! We were seated immediately at the window which is perfect people watching and the servers were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was relatively quiet and had Spanish music playing softly in the background. The temperature was pleasant and you can smell the seafood coming from the kitchen. The entire restaurant was decorated in bright colors. We were already provided with crayons and a sheet of paper to draw on. When making a decision for food, our server said everything was great. The menu comprised of chicken, beef, mussel, prawn (all between $13-17), and paella ($40). Our server said there were no signature dishes because all of them were great. He did suggest the ceviche but that was more of a summer dish. We ended up ordering salsa and chips followed with the chicken curry and garlic mussel dishes. When our food came out, we ate it so quickly because it was so tasty. I wanted to come back the next day but didn't have the time. They do have a Mussel Madness Monday which is 50% off all mussel dishes.

    Chili and sangria
    Thomas R.

    The spicy chili was very good and my vegan friend enjoyed the bean soupa. Of course with delicious rose' sangria, anything tastes great. The new menu emphasizes Americanized Mexican food over the previous S American influenced dishes. Still solidly executed and quickly provided.

    We stopped into Santiago's before leaving on the clipper. We went during happy hour and all nachos were half off! There was also a special on beers. Our waitress was very nice, and our nachos came out fast. They were good! They came with a side of guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. The guacamole was not very good, it wasn't fresh, but the nachos and other sides were great! We were bummed to find out there were not complimentary chips and salsa to start with, but still an overall good experience.

    See all

    This is not Mexican food. The staff were wonderful and the vibe was nice, the food was just awful.

    Not the best. Avoid the guacamole. It's like a bad store bought version. Friendly service.
