Wholly MACKERAL.....The wet burrito was amazing! I decided that I needed a quick lunch and since this place was close to work, I figured that it would be solid. I called and spoke to a very cordial young lady on the phone who received my order and stated that it would be about 15 minutes. On arrival, you would have thought that they were giving something away for free at the amount of people who were attempting to locate a parking lot. Once I found a spot (an in the way spot at that), I quickly went inside to retrieve my burrito. Once inside I could see that seating was minimal but crammed packed! I shimmied and shaked my way to the cashier who gave me my burrito with a smile, and I was able to pay. Once in my vehicle, I couldn't wait, so I opened the container to see a true gut buster! As I enjoyed the delicious mixture of flavorful ingredients, I had to remind myself that I needed to return to work. Once consumed, I found myself under the spell of the "ITIS" and spent the rest of the day trying to outrun it. At the end of the day, the food was ample and satisfying....but will definitely put you to sleep!

Every time we visit Charleston, eating at Santi's is A MUST! And that's non negotiable! Everything is SO delicious, we even order extra to bring back to NC. So flavorful! The food is not drowned in sauces or overpowered by seasonings, just fresh ingredients. Their house made salsa and guacamole are like NO OTHER! And I'm not exaggerating. My 12 yr old thought she hated salsa until she tried theirs. The ambiance is unique (and very cool), and the service is good. Highly highly recommend this gem!!! (Also, the the Camerones con ajo is my go to)

The chips here are so good!! We polished off probably 3 baskets of them. The inside is really cute, lots of seating, but mostly for smaller groups, I wouldn't recommend a party larger than 6 for this location. All of the food is pretty cheap and comes out fast, I did struggle to get my water refilled by the waiter, but wasn't really busy to warrant that.

Love the whimsical interior! Good spot to catch up with friends. Portions are generous. The dinner combo was a bit salty for me but I enjoyed the rice and beans. Complimentary chips and salsa were yummy where the salsa had a nice kick to it!

My first time at this place. I've been wanting to go based on how packed the parking lot is and it looks like a party. I went on a Friday afternoon at 3pm. One hour before happy hour (story of my life). There were very few people there. You seat yourself outside. The patio has been decorated like a tropical rainforest. It's unlike anything I've been to so far in Charleston. I was served chips and salsa immediately and asked what I wanted to drink. I ordered a mango margarita. I'm always on a quest for carne asada fries. They almost have them. They have skirt steak w fries. I had them put the steak on the fries and cover w cheese. Delish!! The meal came w beans and rice and 2 flour and 2 corn tortillas. Everything from the food to the service to the ambiance was on point. Highly recommend. Especially since I am posting on Cinco de Mayo. It's going to be an epic party there today.
