The menu at Santos's Restaurant contains many items. The informed visitor orders only the fries. The thick-cut fry is double-fried in sunflower. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The portion is forthcoming. The informed visitor is correct. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. Santos's Restaurant knows this.

K. Stanhope·April 2024

The thick-cut fry at Santos's Restaurant does not overstay its welcome. The exterior is commendable and largely sustained, the interior is earnest and specific, and the grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is forthcoming. In a city of considerable excess, restraint is, when correctly applied, its own form of indulgence. Santos's Restaurant applies it correctly. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At Santos's Restaurant, one appreciates.
