First time at Todos Santos and we had a wonderful dinner celebrating my nieces bday. Edder(sp?) was a very nice and attentive server. Daniel also made our visit special. Food was delicious. We got the pork belly appetizer that was very tasty. We ordered off the secret menu. Two of us got the lobster relleno, one got short rib enchiladas, another got chicken enchiladas, and I got the tres mares enchiladas. We all enjoyed our food. We told them we had a bday and they brought out a whole show with the fried ice cream and a sparkler. We shared the dessert but I could have enjoyed the fried ice cream by myself. Soo good! I do highly recommend!
