Nothings better than a table full of tacos

We’re stoked to have been added to The Hot List, Broadsheet’s top 100 places to eat in Melbourne!

We’ve put a lot of effort into building a menu inspired by the taquerias of Mexico City, using traditional techniques to make fresh tortillas, hand-pressed to order. It was a lot of work sourcing the ingredients, the equipment and of course developing our recipes, but absolutely worth it for the flavour! And we're so glad to be recognised for our efforts.

Santito is open Tuesday–Sunday.
Walk-ins welcome, or book via our website.
