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

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 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.
Really lovely food. Loads of flavour and a nice place. Was disappointed with the service at first, no menus brought to us and no one asked what we wanted for a good ten minutes despite it being 1/3 full. The food made up for it, and eventually the staff were helpful.
Walking in you get a distinctively warm and friendly vibe and I enjoyed the bright Spanish decor. The food is expertly cooked and seasoned well not to salty or over cooked. Sitting opposite to the kitchen I am blown away by how clean the kitchen looks and how happy and motivated the 2 Chef’s are wor
food is amazing! The meat paella is out of this world was literally scraping the sides of the pan for more, patatas bravas and the chicken croquettes are also 10/10 as are the other tapas selections!
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.
Beautiful food, great value for money. Everything we had was just delicious 😋
Very good experience eating there
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!
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.
Ordered about 10 different tapas dishes. Some really yummy like the gambas, some just ok like the chorizo.
Sangria was very good, service and price were OK.
Ambience would best be described as 'loud' unfortunately. No background music, although there could have been, it was just so noisy in there yo
Lovely little tapas place. Very traditional Spanish decor, food and flavours. Feels like being in the Canaries.
Be careful the food is spicy. The garlic gambas were too spicy to eat. More like a hot chilli prawn then garlic. The potatos bravas are also in a tomato chilli sauce very spicy.

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.
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
Our early evening Tapas, consisted of the Stewed Beef, Prawns in Garlic with Mushroom, House Potatos, Olive selection, Chicken skewers and Mahou Lager. Great ambience, busy with Locals, and Happy Staff. All in All, a Very Pleasant Time.
Great selection of tapas, especially loved the papa arrugadas 😋, and the sangria was amazing.
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 hel
