Santiago's Bodega | Orlando

We did research on best brunch places in Orlando. Santiago came up as a recommendation. I’m so glad we chose this place. We were not disappointed at all. Taylor our waiter was so sweet and gave us exceptional service. If you get him as your server he will take good care of you. Price is really reasonable, food was amazing. The griddle cakes were warm and fluffy. The frittata taste like a cloud, if cloud had a flavor this would be it ????. All the dishes were delicious. We felt like we were at the Palace again. This will be our regular when we are in town.

Well I was in town for one night on a customer project. Before I made the drive up from Fort Myers i scouted out a possible seafood restaurant and wine bar. I got to my hotel and started looking around a little on Yelp and Santiago's Bodega popped up. I looked at the pics, sorted through the newest reviews and checked the ETA from my hotel. Check, check and ✔️✔️✔️✔️. I didn't have reservations but as a single I was hoping they would be able to fit me in somewhere. Open, full service seating at the bar. Found a spot and settled in. Great service, great food, great drinks and NO Reason to not make it a stop on your journey through the area or a night out if you're a local. Food was fresh, hot and extremely tasty/authentic. Step in, stop up and enjoy. Plenty of parking around the back of the building and apparently on the busier nights a reasonable valet is available. Indoor and plenty of outdoor seating. Tables for 2,4, 6 or more. Enjoy!!

We came to Santiago’s Bodega with the intention to eat brunch but, we missed it for a few minutes so, we ended having tapas and drinks. Note that there’s no food service while the menu is switching so, if you’re hungry make sure to get the timing right. That said, overall the food was very good, the tapas portions were actually shareable, the drinks were enjoyable and the service was diligent.
