Santiago's Bodega

I was there for lunch on a Friday. The place wasn't crowded at all. Every dish we had was excellent! I recommend the wedge salad, short ribs, and brussel sprouts. Great service! You should try this place. I no longer have a dog, but there were dog bowls by the outdoor seating. I think it's dog friendly!

Went here for the first time and mad I haven't come sooner. Service was amazing 👏, red sangria was so good. I also had a wedge salad, which was a little big for the plate it was served in, which made it hard to not make a mess. Also ordered tequila lemon drops, edemame, and peppers to try a few items. The bathroom was clean, and the atmosphere was very chill and relaxed. Went for a date and saw some friends come in so after we ate we joined them this place is good for either occasion. Can't wait to check out the brunch!

Santiago’s Bodega is a super solid place right near the North Orange/Mills Ave. area of Orlando! If you are craving small plates to share, there are very few restaurants that do it as good as here. An added bonus is this place is open SUPER late, so if it’s 1 am and you’re stuck deciding between Taco Bell and McDonald’s, why not go here?! It’s a thousand times better!! Finally, they have a whole gluten-free menu, so if you’re gluten-free, this is one of your best options! We got a variety of different plates during our most recent visit - 2 tapas each person for lunch. If you’re hungry, you could easily have 3 per person. We had: Avocado and Pear Salad, Beef Carpaccio, Smoked Salmon Carpaccio, Yellowfin Tuna Ceviche, Saganaki and Beef Short Ribs. Everything was excellent - our favorites were the short ribs, beef carpaccio, and avocado/pear salad. If you get the bigger size, the salads are massive and a perfect option to share. The short ribs were so tender and flavorful - 100/10!! Both carpaccios were excellent, but the beef one is 100% the one I’d recommend. AMAZING. The ceviche was super fresh and awesome paired with the mango, and saganaki was a bit different than normal halloumi cheese in that it was baked rather than grilled, but still quite good! Our waitress was super friendly and nice as well - service is great here. I can’t wait to come back to Santiago’s Bodega and try more tapas. I love sharing small plates with others because I get to try more things from the menu. This place is awesome!!

Santiago's Bodega, a charming tapas-style restaurant, offers a wonderfully casual and relaxed atmosphere that is a welcome change from the ordinary. Its heart and soul is its beverage selection, where bottomless mimosas and sangrias shine. These refreshing concoctions are generously poured and burst with vibrant flavors, sure to delight any brunch enthusiast or sangria lover. Where Santiago's Bodega perhaps doesn't reach the zenith is in its food. The fare is decent, but it's not something that will take you on a culinary journey. That said, it's far from disappointing - the tapas are good, just not groundbreaking. A diverse range of flavors are present in the menu, but none are particularly memorable or unique. That said, Santiago's Bodega offers an enjoyable experience overall. It's a great place to unwind and indulge in your favorite drink, with an ambiance that's hard to beat. While the food could use a bit more creativity and flair, the restaurant's charm lies in its inviting atmosphere and excellent mimosas and sangrias. This eatery earns a solid 4 stars and remains a great spot to meet friends for a leisurely weekend brunch.
