Upon arriving the atmosphere was lively and promising. However, our dining experience did not live up to the initial ambiance.We were seated and we placed our food and drink orders with the hope of enjoying our meal shortly.The margaritas were wonderful.Regrettably, after a 50-minute wait without further communication from our server or the arrival of our food, our anticipation began to diminish. Our waiter returned once to update us that the food will be out any moment. He also took an additional drink order, but another 15 minutes passed without our additional drink order (1 Pacifico) or our previous food order being fulfilled.Ultimately, we chose to pay for what we had received and leave, still without having had our meal.

Service was not good. Took forever to get orders taken, then even longer for drinks, food, and refills. Bill took forever and was wrong when it came. Half of my party had to leave because it took so long for the correct bill to come back. Waiter was not knowledgeable.

We had no idea we were sitting on a gold mine. We had eaten near by a number of times and never thought to try it - another neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Friendly neighbors mentioned it, they got a big thank you. My chicken mole was so beautifully presented, unlike any I've had before and the taste was equal to its looks. My wife's order of enchiladas suizas de Pollo was incredible but she only gave me one, despite my begging. We were there for brunch but neglected to try the mimosas, a mistake we won't make again. Fellow diners near us did have them and we became very jealous. Our waiter was very attentive and flawless. As we left I wanted to tell the manager how good he was but gave up too soon. Bottom line - we're going back!

Came here on a Saturday at 7pm, the restaurant was about ~30% full with plenty of last minute reservations available online. Hostess was nice, seated us right away, and someone came to drop off menus and chips/salsa quickly. But then we waited 20 minutes, nobody came back to the table to get our order. We noticed an older couple who arrived after us were having their orders taken but we were ignored. So we left. Nobody even noticed lol, despite seeing multiple servers standing around chatting. Thanks for the free chips and salsa? Bummer cause we were excited to try this place out.

We enjoyed our meal here. Nice seating by the fireplace made it special. Veggie enchileda was very good. Blackened halibut tacos good, but a bit fishy tasting. Great salsa. Diego provided excellent, caring service.

Servers did not provide water, napkins or pen. Sat there for at least 5 min before getting served! Very disappointed! In addition the hot sauce served with the tacos was so extremely hot I could even finish dinner! All around disappointing!

Good food, very nice waitress but disco music playing very loud. Very, very loud. Impossible to have a conversation at a table about as far from the noise source.

We had the Mini Fiesta Salad which had so many different things in it and was really good. Also got the Short Rib enchiladas.... delicious! The portion of rice and beans could have been a little bit bigger on the enchilada plate in my opinion. Also got the queso dip to start. Everything was very tasty. The service was great! I was disappointed though to find out that they have tortilla soup on Friday Saturday and Sunday the server said, but it is not on the menu. So I don't know how people are supposed to know if they have soup if it's not stated on the menu.

Amazing date night. We come every week and this week Esmeralda made us a special dessert. They have a fried ice cream with banana which was different. Spoke to the manager about our experience and he said Esmeralda will make you what you want.

My visit to Todos Santos was nothing short of exceptional. The attentive staff elevated the dining experience, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The culinary highlight was the Camarones Cabo in diablo style - a symphony of flavors that left a lasting impression. The balance of spice and freshness showcased the chef's skillful execution.Equally impressive was the drink selection, with the Chipotle Margarita stealing the show. The subtle smokiness of chipotle blended seamlessly with the zesty notes, creating a cocktail that was not just a drink but an experience.The ambiance, coupled with the delectable dishes and innovative drinks, makes Todos Santos a culinary gem. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a gastronomic adventure.
