What people say about Santo Mezcal

Guests usually describe Santo Mezcal as having a more refined approach than an average casual Mexican establishment, featuring nicely plated food, seafood-heavy plates, mezcal cocktails, and a cozy downtown setting. The mole, ceviche, octopus, tacos, guacamole, and cocktails are some of the items that receive constant compliments, and customers also sometimes like when servers help to pair cocktails with food. However, there can also be individual experiences that may involve pacing and value complaints, but good taste and presentation stand out nonetheless.

Restaurant overview

About Santo Mezcal

Santo Mezcal offers modern Mexican food located near the end of State Street, utilizing flavors of traditional Mexican cooking but making use of local and seasonal produce of the Santa Barbara area. Among the main products offered by the restaurant is seafood; however, pork, duck, beef, vegetables, queso, and other masa-based foods are also available.

The establishment was created by the owners of Los Agaves and combines its food with a cocktail program that focuses on agave spirits. It is thus a good choice for a dinner where cocktails play an integral role.
