“Beautiful backyard with live music and trees that block out the sun and rain perfectly.”
“I ordered the Steak Brochette which came with a generous helping of steak plus a light side salad and fries.”
“The food is a cross between French and Mexican, so it's an interesting fusion of a cuisine.”

Loved it. Romantic. Cozy. Cute. Adorable courtyard. Live music. Interesting fusion menu. What's not to love. I had a lavender jalapeño margarita which was delicious and perfectly spicy. I had the veggie tacos without the goat cheese and they were great. I added pineapple for a sweet addition. Super reasonable and a great time. We Weill definitely be back!
Ok, I'm a cheap ass. But when the place advertises "free beer for the fellas" on Tuesdays (with food purchase) on their web site and then welches on the deal, I feel kinda burned. Homes behind the bar says "sorry. I'll tell someone about that." We'll see. The vibe here is cool, with subdued lighting and a weird mini stage in the middle and a big garden out back. I've had their barbecue pork sandwich for lunch (a bit dry) and the chicken caesar (ok, but pretty plain). Service is indifferent.
The backyard is so adorable and the atmosphere totally reminds me of the dinner Jess and Celine had with the family in Greece in the movie Before Midnight. I loved my cucumber cocktail- super refreshing and great for a lazy summer night. The octopus ceviche was delicious- the octopus was not overly chewy and perfectly seasoned with a good amount of sweet and sour. I literally wanted to try everything on their menu because they all sounded amazing! I ordered duck taco yesterday and it was fabulous. The goat cheese was slightly warmed up by the meat and the softness and creaminess was like heaven. It would be perfect if I could add some dried cranberries or sliced almond to the taco to give some crunchiness texture to the whole thing. But overall, the food, the drinks, and the atmosphere definitely make it a five-star place!
The Quick: Delicious French and Mexican food, large outdoor patio/garden that's great for rowdy groups, delicious brunch drinks and just steps away from the L train.
The Details: A birthday party forced me into Brooklyn, but luckily I loved my experience (and endured the commute) to Santos Anne. The strange combination of Mexican and French was done just perfectly. The beef tartare was incredible, as was the Mexican scramble served with corn tacos for make your own. The ginger margarita was legendary, but we were not a fan of the habanero lavender. The staff was extremely accommodating, even for a loud mouthed group of 25.
If I find myself in Brooklyn again I would absolutely return to sit in that beautiful outdoor space.
The Damage: Our party worked out a price fix with the venue, but all brunch options were reasonable.
HUGE fan of this spot. Food aside, it has an unbelievable ambience that makes you love it the second you enter. Service is very friendly and inviting. If you walk through the restaurant, there's a large outdoor patio/garden in the back that is just adorable and very well decorated with lights strung and a bunch of tables out there. It's a great spot for a date or hanging out with friends alike. Not sure how this changes in cold weather, but for the summer I can vouch that it's spectacular.
Food is delicious. I had the mushroom risotto, which comes to your table completely flambéed…so beware that it will be steaming hot for a good 10 minutes. You'll just be smelling it and wishing you could eat it and will likely end up jumping the gun and burning your tongue like me.
Came here on a Thursday night for happy hour. It was perfect weather for the back garden. I really liked their white sangria. It got busy and there was only one server. He was working his tail off, but we had to wait a little from time to time. Minus a star because it was not clear when happy hour ended. I heard the server tell the table next to us that it was still happy hour after 7pm so I ordered a strawberry margarita. It came 25 minutes later. When the bill came it was $10, and my friends were only charged $6 for their strawberry margaritas. I didn't question it, but minus a star for that. The al pastor tacos were superb. Next time I think I will try a burger or steak and frites because it looked scrumptious. Oh, we also had the crème brûlée . It came in a big ramekin and was torched to perfection. The overall taste was decent. This place has a good thing going on and a nice vibe.We were fascinated by the cat in the large tree, perfect for climbing and jumping from limb to limb (if you are a cat). I hope to be back soon!
I have been there 4 or 5 times, and it has always been a blast.
Yesterday was really my favorite time though. We booked the petanque court with friends, had 2 tables, and were having dinner/drinks at the same time.
It was as good as it sound! This place never disappoints by any means. Food, drinks, staff & service, location, everything rocks.
Liked: The cozy Mexican/dive-bar feel, the hospitable staff that reconfigured their whole front bar to fit our big group at the table, the live music wafting in from the back-yard.
Just meh: The food itself. So much good Mexican food around the States, but this wasn't up there at all. Also the waiter put down a whole bunch of guacamole dip no one ordered and we thought was complimentary… they were not. That old trick.
If I was in the neighborhood again I'd grab a beer and listen to some tunes out the back, but eat elsewhere.
