Santiago's Mexican Restaurant

Santiago's is not part of a chain; it is one-of-a-kind and a wonderful dining experience. The staff is attentive, the pre-dining chips are incredibly good, (especially the flour chips...you get both corn and flour) and the food is well-seasoned, but not overly so. I've had the best chili rellenos of my life there. The restaurant is located in a rather remote area and is hard to find if you don't know where downtown Porter is, but it's well worth the search.

The service was friendly and efficient.  The chips and guacamole were great.  The food authentic and fresh.  I'm from Texas and I definitely recommend this place.

The previous reviews had stated that this place has the best food in the area and that the service sucked. Lets just say one of those statements is true. The service was poor. We had to wait for a while just to place a order. While we were eating neither my wife or me were asked about refilling our drinks. I noticed dried food on the wall.  My fajitas were ok but nothing to write home about. My wife's meal was not so good. I normally am not a picky eater but her food was sub par and flavorless. I think this place has potential but they have a lot to work on. Maybe they need a visit from Chef Gordon Ramsey.
