Vibrant, contemporary Mexican with standout tacos, lamb shank, and churros; lively vibe and engaged service, but portions run small and pricing stings for some diners.
Santo Remedio delivers strong food quality with standout tacos, churros, and lamb shank that showcase contemporary Mexican technique, supported by genuinely attentive service with memorable staff interactions. However, inconsistent execution—ranging from excellent meals to cold tacos and overcooked items—prevents a higher grade, compounded by modest portions relative to premium pricing. The vibrant London Bridge location and warm atmosphere make it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants, though it falls short of destination-level distinction.
The room feels warm and bustling with a colorful, modern spin that sets a celebratory tone near London Bridge. Servers often get name-checked for being genuinely attentive, and guests rave about the churros and margaritas. One diner summed it up simply: "Lively vibe, sharp flavors, and we felt looked after." The culinary approach leans contemporary Mexican with wood-fire sharing plates and refined tacos rather than a simple taqueria lineup. Expect sashimi-grade tuna tostadas, Baja fish, and a standout barbacoa lamb shank—modern techniques and plating over rustic heaviness. This suits diners who enjoy bold flavors and small-plate pacing more than those hunting giant portions. Families will find it workable if kids like tacos and simple sides. The menu has approachable choices like chicken or fish tacos, potato flautas, elote, and plantains, but portions are modest, so plan to order extra for big appetites. No explicit kids menu, and some sauces carry gentle heat, so ask for adjustments if needed.
