“Very tasty food, but (esp for Mexican fare), not everything is GF. The tacos are soft corn tortillas, which is fine. I had the Kimchi beef & grilled shrimp taco platter. Also ordered the fresh avocado & chips. The grilled shrimp taco was just ok, but all else was GREAT. Lots of these (Folly Beach) restaurants have flour-based wraps and breaded meats.. you can find GF choices, but it's limited.“

“I didn’t even eat here. I was having a tough time with a boot on my car outside, and an employee named Finn came out to help me. He was incredibly supportive, all while I was having an anxiety attack. No one made him do that. but if this restaurant employ as a kid like that, then they’re five stars in my book. Unlike that wine store next-door.“

“This is the absolute BEST in CHARLESTON! 🌺 🌊 Me and my family love this place! Great service, food, and environment! It was so great there, I thought the check was going to come back so EXPENSIVE!! But NO, the payment was so quick and small! (No extra fees either) My small family of 3 ate HUGE meals for $30! And it was so good! We HAD TO tip them $40 for all of the good work they did 👏! I was so impressed by their food and service, that I HAD to visit Charleston AGAIN Becuase I loved their food 🍱! RECOMMEND 💯! 1000/10“

“Santi's is my go to Mexican restaurant in the Charleston area. Coming from California I did not think I was going to be able to find good Mexican food, but Santa's is the best by far I have found in the Charleston area. The margaritas are also very good. They don't skimp on the alcohol.“

“For almost 12 months, my wife and I have avoided this place due to some initial mediocre reviews, however, we were mistaken all this time. We’ve tried 3-4 other Mexican restaurants in West Ashley, and another 5-10 in the greater charleston area, and Santi’s is the best of them. There’s nothing groundbreaking about the menu. It’s simply good Mexican staples that are done well. My wife, for instance, loves chili relleno and the stuff made here at Santi‘s is the best of any of the restaurants she’s had in the area. I’m fond of pork carnitas and chile verde, so I especially love the Puerco de guisado (verde sauce). It’s just what I need, when I want to go south of the border. A few things that make this better than other Mexican restaurants, are the genuinely good margaritas, made with fresh lime juice, not mixers. The tortilla chips are freshly fried for you. This salsa is addicting.

We will be back on a monthly basis.“
