Santo Pecado • El Carmen — Restaurant in Carmen

Me and my co-workers went to have dinner on a Saturday afternoon, place was nice by the time we arrived (6pm) but by the time we left (9pm) it was packed! So make sure you have your reservation if you plan on coming late on a Saturday. Food was good, nicely done but the guy bringing plates to the table got them mixed up and I ended up eating a different burger than the one I originally ordered, not a big deal but keep that in mind if you’re coming with big groups. Drinks were good, I recommend the Negroni, but overall everyone was pleased with their cocktail. Place was not quiet, but not loud enough to not hear the person next to you, there was a soccer match that day so maybe that increased...

Food was ok, but nothing special. Cocktails are ok, but also nothing special and when I ordered just a "normal" cocktail, I got a "special" version (and got charged for it).

I stopped by during the last two hours before closing. The mixed nachos were decent for the price and really tasty. The margaritas, though, were on a whole other level—definitely the highlight.

I’ll definitely be back and make sure to ask for him next time—felt a bit bad for not giving him the tip he deserved.

If you visit, I highly recommend trying the premium margaritas with sangria, mango, and maracuya—they were a solid 10/10.

Thanks for the shots! See...
