Summer isn’t over just yet. ☀️

Before the cooler days roll in, grab your El Santo favourites to-go, find a sunny spot, and turn lunch or dinner into a picnic.

Good food, warm weather, and a little more time outside. Make the most of it while you can.

Order takeout, grab your favourite people, and enjoy these last days of summer.

Some things are worth getting your hands messy for.

Our Quesabirria brings together tender braised beef, melted local cheeses, fresh onion, and cilantro, all tucked into a perfectly crisped tortilla.

And then there’s the consommé - rich, savoury, and made for dipping.
Crisp. Juicy. Cheesy. Full of flavour.

It’s okay… it happens 🤣

You can rehearse “Can I please get a water?” all you want on the way here, but sometimes you sit down, open the menu, and suddenly a margarita sounds a whole lot better.

We’re not judging. In fact, we completely understand.

It starts with the sound of crispy tortillas hitting the plate. Then come the warm refried beans, two perfectly fried eggs, creamy avocado, and a generous spoonful of salsa roja. Finish it all with a little Cotija, and suddenly your weekend plans have a new purpose.

Our Huevos Rancheros are made for slow mornings, good conversation, and that “just one more bite” feeling.

Join us for brunch Friday, Saturday & Sunday at El Santo. ☀️

Every story deserves a sweet ending.

For the final course, we wanted to leave you with something memorable - desserts that play with texture, richness, and acidity, each offering a different way to close the experience.

The Pastel de Chocolate is rich and indulgent, layered with white chocolate ganache and salted caramel. Pepita and hibiscus add texture, brightness, and a subtle contrast to the sweetness.

The Tiramisú de Olla takes inspiration from a familiar classic and gives it a distinctly Mexican expression. Cafe de olla brings warmth and depth to the tiramisu, tucked beneath a delicate dark chocolate shell and finished with mascarpone and cacao nibs for a beautiful contrast of creamy, bitter, and crisp.

And then there is the Merengue - light, bright, and delicate. Lime cream and marinated citrus bring a refreshing acidity, balanced by the richness and gentle crunch of pistachio crumble. A dessert that feels almost weightless, yet leaves a lasting impression.

Three different endings, each with its own personality.
Because dessert was never meant to simply finish the meal. It was created to leave you with one final moment to savour.

And then, the menu reaches its centrepiece.

The third course was designed to be bold, layered, and deeply expressive - where slow roasting, smoke, fire, and carefully built sauces come together to create dishes that feel both familiar and unexpected.

The Col Rostizada transforms humble cabbage into something entirely new. Layers of roasted cabbage are paired with roasted mushroom and toasted pumpkin seed paste, roasted poblano, pickled cabbage, pecan and guajillo mole, then finished with avocado mousse. Earthy, smoky, bright, and rich - a celebration of how much can be created from vegetables when they’re given the attention they deserve.

The Salmon con Mole brings together wild sockeye salmon with the deep, savoury character of squid ink mole. Pickled carrot cuts through the richness, while refried beets and kale add earthiness, texture, and colour. Each element is designed to complement the salmon without taking away from it.

And for the Carne Ahumada, smoke and fire take centre stage. Brant Lake Wagyu flank steak is paired with leek and onion ash, confit potatoes, roasted cherry tomatoes, grilled zucchini, and flor de calabaza, all brought together with a roasted red pepper and habanero demi-glace. Rich, smoky, delicate, and full of depth.

Three plates, three very different interpretations of the main course - but each one shaped by the same philosophy.

Every component has a purpose. Every sauce, garnish, and preparation was considered. What arrives at the table is the result of countless small decisions, techniques, and hours of work coming together as one dish.

The main course - where all that intention finally comes to the plate.
