Santo is doing Latin American cooking in The Gulch with the kind of range across the hemisphere that requires a kitchen willing to commit to multiple traditions simultaneously. The small plates format encourages exploration across the menu, which is the right way to approach food this geographically broad.
The bar program is built around Latin spirits — mezcal, rum, proper Latin amari — and applies the same level of thought to drinks that the kitchen applies to food. The cocktails are worth ordering alongside the food rather than as a prelude to it.
The small plates are the strength — bold flavors, proper technique, designed for sharing. The bar program is one of the stronger Latin-focused spirits lists in the city.
