“ Great dinner. Large portions; fast turn kitchen which must have very solid chef as execution on the classics (tacos, empanadas, etc) are noticeably better than other similar options in the market ”
“ Santomate is a fantastic restaurant in Morelia that truly exceeded my expectations. I went for dinner with a friend and was impressed from the start. The style and atmosphere are lovely, with plenty of natural greenery and open spaces that make it feel comfortable and welcoming. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. Santomate is a place I’d highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a well-rounded dining experience in Morelia. It’s a great spot for both the food and the beautiful surroundings! ”
“ Hidden within this unassuming building is a food paradise. It was multi-level with tables on little balconies like romantic islands. Inside there is a covered outdoor area with green vegetation growing down the brick walls and trees providing a beautiful canopy. When I looked up the restaurant on Google it said "casual" but the service was absolutely top notch. And the food!! I grew up in the Great Plains of the U.S. so I am always on the lookout for a great steak and Santomate did NOT disappointment. My husband and I each ordered Surf and turf with rice and creamed spinach. We even split a fruit cheesecake dessert. All tasted like perfection! And I cannot say enough about the staff. They quickly realized we spoke very little Spanish and they brought us an English menu. They were efficient and accommodating and really took great care of us. As my husband said, this is my new favorite restaurant. If you are looking for a great date place, go! If you are looking to entertain friends or family, go! If you just want to enjoy a peaceful, unhurried, delicious meal, definitely go. Whatever the reason, just go to Santomate. ”
“ Amazing food and service. By far the best restaurant in Morelia ”
“ Excellent food and diverse options. Very cool atmosphere with a variety of levels and moods. Get the pork jowl, sounds weird, tastes incredible! The elote side is some of the best "Street corn" of our lives. Other stand outs: Tamarindo mezcal cocktail, fettuccine Alfredo, empanadas, flan, and the puree de camote. ”
“ Delicious food, lovely patio, attentive staff. ”
“ Beautiful restaurant in Morelia, delicious food and great service! The unique architecture and design of the inside is not what I expected to see from the outside, there is so much detail. Food was very tasty! ”
“ The pork jowl tacos were DELICIOUS! I also enjoyed the corn cake with Mexican eggnog. The chipotle chicken lacked taste in my opinion, I wouldn’t recommend it. ”
