Todos Santos | Kitchen de Mexico | Rancho Santa Margarita - Restaurant in Rancho Santa Margarita - 22322 El Paseo, USA

Visited this place over the weekend with a bunch of friends to celebrate a birthday. This place is right in the heart of RSM and has really nice Mexican food. We ordered a variety of dishes and drinks and all were pretty good. They do have chips and salsa as complementary appetizers and all of us got almost full eating them. For the given price, I felt the quantity of guacamole was less. The same goes with other dishes. They are on the pricey side. The ambience is really good with all natural plants around and lively music being played in the background. The staff is also very courteous and friendly. Overall we had a good experience and will surely visit again for some celebration.

We were there on a quiet Tuesday afternoon, there were 6 tables seated and a few people at the bar. Our server was not friendly or personable, she did her job but not with a smile. The food (chicken tostada $22 and halibut tacos $27) took forever to come out even though they were not busy. The food was fine, chips, salsa and Margarita were OK. Nothing special to make me return - the service, food and view are better at Carmelita's and prices are similar.

I'm really picky about Mexican food. I like big bold flavors. The chimichanga had exactly that. I ordered it with steak only, it was absolutely perfect. The flavors popped, the meat was tender and full of flavor, the rice was full of flavor, the sauce was amazing! Even my daughters 7 year old loved the Chimi! And he couldn't get enough of the chips and salsa. The server was so wonderful. You could see he loved his job. We had iced tea to drink, it was very refreshing! Maybe a tropical tea? We'll certainly be back, next time with the entire family.

We had the Mini Fiesta Salad which had so many different things in it and was really good. Also got the Short Rib enchiladas.... delicious! The portion of rice and beans could have been a little bit bigger on the enchilada plate in my opinion. Also got the queso dip to start. Everything was very tasty. The service was great! I was disappointed though to find out that they have tortilla soup on Friday Saturday and Sunday the server said, but it is not on the menu. So I don't know how people are supposed to know if they have soup if it's not stated on the menu.

We took the family for Christmas eve dinner here. It's Michelin rated, which they were surprised to know. Because it's good, just not Michelin good. The chicken flautas were delicious, and so was the queso fundido & the elote. The Chimichanga was big enough for 3 people! My tamarind Margarita was too sweet though. Almost as sweet as our waitress, Sabrina❣️

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Todos Santos with a group of 18 people and it was an unforgettable experience. From the beginning, the reservation process was seamless even though we only gave them a month's notice. The staff assigned us an excellent spot, providing an intimate atmosphere for our special occasion. Service was top-notch, attentive and swift, ensuring all our needs were catered to. The food was delectable, and the drinks hit the mark perfectly. A special shoutout for letting us bring in two cakes and serving them without any additional cake cutting fees. We genuinely appreciate the warm hospitality and high standards of service. Highly recommend Todos Santos for any event or just a casual night out. Love this place!

Taco Tuesday was a very good experience for my first time here. Our server Maddie took care of our 9 ppl table flawlessly. My favorite tacos were the short rib, carnitas, carne asada and crispy pork belly. The Cadillac Margarita was on point! Good ambiance and lots of chips n salsa!

The restaurant is nice. And the service that Leon (our waiter) provided was amazing… but out of all things you’d expect to find while celebrating a birthday is a screw yes an actual screw in the cake!! We got lucky it was on the edge of the cake and saw it before digging in. Just be careful and always check your food!!
