The food was delicious, it is the kind of place where you want to order more and more small tapas plates. The staff were amenable, they were booked inside and we booked an outside table. It wasn't due to rain, but it did, so they kindly worked out a way of offering us an inside space.

Good authentic Tapas food. Changed its name to El Camino, presumably because Santiago's maybe wasn't a clear enough pointer to what it is.
Friendly Spanish lady on front of house. Service was good, about 3 tapas dishes per person was a good feed. Little bit of Northern Spain in Northern Cardiff.

Very good experience eating there

Fab starters and sangria. Sadly our mains order was forgotten.
waited for main meal too long, so had to leave. Will return as its a lovely venue and friendly staff.

Food was incredible! We went two nights before the grand re-opening, so drinks service was a little slow due to two new members behind the bar, however the staff were so polite and friendly. Fabulous evening, thank you!

Brilliant evening at Santiago’s Whitchurch - the venue was beautiful and authentically spanish - we loved the homemade tables! The food was excellent and we would definitely recommend the octopus, prawns and croquettes! The whole experience was made even better by the staff, especially the owner of the Whitchurch branch who was so accommodating and personable. We can’t wait to come back for your relaunch on 8th June!

Visited here for lunch - ate off the set menu and it was delicious! Two different dishes and a small glass of wine for £12.95. Ordered four different dishes between us and shared. Looking forward to going again.
Wait staff were really helpful and friendly.
Lovely atmosphere

Great portions for Tapas. Would recommend the anchovies dish, sardine dish and red wines. You can either sit at talk tables or normal tables. I prefer the tall ones. Nice cosy atmosphere great for dates, work meet ups and socials.

I had a wonderful valentines night. We went solely for the Paella, (seafood) it was amazing. Service fantastic. The restaurant has a welcoming feel. I returned a few weeks later. Of course, our order was Paella, we at first asked if we had been given the wrong order, and the young lady was very helpful, went and checked, stating it was our order. As it was a seafood order, we had 3 strips of some kind of white fish on the top. I was sad to leave. However, we never ate it, paid what we owed, and left. Ending up two doors away in another restaurant. I would return asking whilst making the booking the right ingredients were available

We read a few scathing reviews about Santiago's Tapas, and had some reservations about visiting, but we're glad we did.
The food was spot on - we had a series of tapas dishes and all were delicious, cocktails and sangria were great, and deserts were superb. Plenty of veggie options too
The staff were attentive and friendly, and the ambiance was lovely. The venue was mostly full, lots of chatter and plenty of smiles
We only thought to take photos at dessert (everything else got scoffed pretty quickly!)
Wholeheartedly recommended
