Visited here during the Halloween season. Absolutely loved the decor. The staff are really friendly too The food and drinks here are great. Good variety. The food is served hot and the portions are worth the buck. I tried the enchiladas and they were tasty.

Went today to celebrate my niece's birthday, as she had heard about the celebration they have for birthdays. Excellent experience from start to finish. The whole place is decorated in the Halloween, Day of the Dead atmosphere. Our server was Angie and she was very attentive to our party of five. We ordered everything from appetizers like fried calamari, entrees like the quesadilla especial, and churros for dessert. Everything was brought out in a timely manner. And yes they do come out and sing Happy Birthday in a dramatic way. My niece brought a cake in and when they sing Happy Birthday they brought the cake out also. And if you reserve in advance they already have birthday balloons at the table. Even the bathroom had Day of the Dead decorations. Actually only one food complaint... my youngest granddaughter ordered the taquitos dorados from the kids menu and they were very hard, not flavorful and she did not eat them. French fries were good though, as was the Mexican rice.

First time at Santo Cielo. Totally love the decor and great music/atmosphere! I had a strawberry mimosa in a huge glass purse - wonderful blend of fresh fruit flavors. We decided to have a pork dish for two - definitely a must try! We will be back …. I want to try a pitcher of margaritas next time.
