This a great place to work. The chef curates the best kitchen playlist, expedites service like a magician, and never loses his sense of humour or humanity, even when the dining room turns three times on a Friday—terrific emotional self-discipline. If you have the opportunity to work with him, do it. The owner is 100% committed to the business's success, and it feels like it. He's a smart operator who steered el Santo through some challenging times. Kudos to him. The atmosphere is fun, with lots of great banter between the front and back of the house. I loved my time there.

El Santo was great to work at. The owner is nice to work for, I got along well with all of the FOH and BOH staff, the location in New West is good with nearby transit, and it's nice to work somewhere that has delicious food.
