What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the creative and flavorful tapas, highlighting favorites like the beef tenderloin, bacon-wrapped dates, and lamb lollipops. The Sunday brunch buffet gets special praise for its variety and value. Many diners note the friendly staff and cozy, artsy interior as standout features that keep them coming back before and after shows.

Areas for Improvement

While most diners leave happy, some mention that parking can be tight during peak hours, so arriving a little early is a smart move. A few guests found the lighting a bit dim for photos, but perfect for setting the mood. Reservations are recommended—this spot gets busy fast, especially on concert nights.

With tasty tapas, welcoming service, and a relaxed vibe just minutes from Orlando’s top venues, Santiago’s Bodega is a hit with concert-goers looking for a flavorful start (or encore) to their night.
