I drive by on the way home everyday sp finally decided to stop in (a treat after 3 weeks of no eating out and embarking on a weight loss journey). I caught the all day happy hour at 345 and had a yummy red sangria and a big burrito with the side caesar instead of chips. Def worth the $2 extra and one of the best salads I've ever had. While the Burrito was very good I was disappointed to realize 1/3 of the way in it had no meat! (Corn and beans filling). Maybe I missed a meat option. Nevertheless, it had great flavour. Nice music, good service..i wish them much success.Update: stopped by today. Sangria was again, wonderful! I had a beef enchilada recommended by the server. Was soooo good!

Cute little shindig. Small menu for a quick in and out. Kid friendly and drinks are great. However food was bland. No extra oomph. Very limited selection and no really originality. Tasted good just boring

Oh my. We loved this place. Went there twice. Great food, service, and $5 beer and sangria. Our server was amazing..... can't wait to go back.

We popped by for happy hour on a 14 degree Friday afternoon. Sat outside and watched the "bundled up" locals walk by. Loved every minute of our visit to Santiagos and couldn't get over their homemade Salsa. Best I've ever tasted.

Perfect stop before (or after) catching the Coho to, or from, Port Angeles! 1 hr free street parking within a block from the ferry terminal. "Best Caesar Salad I've ever had, dressing unusual, cheese abundant, perfect, and did not have to pay for extraneous meat." (Lee Ann). The bean soup was marvelous, perfectly seasoned! Local brew taps, but I chose a new, to me, Spanish beer that was excellent. (Mark).There is a city park just across the street that provided an essential pit stop for our two dogs.Great decor and clean restrooms.Please help keep this husband (the chef) and wife ( the maitre de) in business until we get back next year. And, we hope, for many more

It was great authentic Mexican food experience. Very polite waiter motherly and makes you feel eating at Mexican ordinary home. Very nice home made hot sauce which I find it nice flavour and taste compliment for the food. Tortilla chips are are also very delicious and to be eaten until the end of the plate.

Santiago's had a good amount of choice for gluten-free dairy-free eaters like myself. On this day they were featuring ceviche but I went for the beans and rice with guacamole and chips. The service was professional and delightful. The guacamole was particularly lovely. At the time we visited the restaurant closed at 5:00pm so be sure to go early and enjoy the all day happy hour.

I love this restaurant even thought it’s my first time to visit. Foods we ordered were great.

Went to Santiago's today for the first time at happy hour. The food and drinks were delicious. If you like nachos you have to try them because it's true they are the best. Ordered the beef nachos that came with three side dips included in the price. The margarita was the best I ever had. Owner is very friendly and great service! Happy hour is all day right now!

Happy Hour $5 all day is rather nice. Sangria as delicious as in Spain. Menu is not extensive yet offers great Mexican food. Large portions as well. Service is attentive and we felt most welcome. When we are back in Victoria we will definitely plan to enjoy a meal and sangria.
