"Maybe you’re just looking for a laidback patio where you can do something other than tolerate the screaming sounds of children after 5pm. That’s when you should head to Palo Santo. This Latin restaurant inside of a brownstone on Union Street has a few sidewalk tables where you can eat things like fish tacos, anticuchos, and picante de mariscos. If you’re not ready to commit to a full dinner here, you can stop by their weekly taco pop-up at Haylard’s Bar in Gowanus every Friday from 4-9pm." - nikko duren
"If you want to eat Latin food and enjoy a party-like atmosphere, go to Bogota Latin Bistro. For something a little more calm and upscale, try Palo Santo. This Latin/Caribbean restaurant is on the bottom floor of a brownstone, and its wood-covered, low-key interior is perfect for anyone who always complains about loud restaurants. The big, arched windows, exposed brick walls, and plant-filled patio will make you feel like you're on vacation, and we love their tacos and ceviche. " - Carina Finn Koeppicus, Kenny Yang, Neha Talreja
"Named after a tree venerated for its healing properties, Palo Santo brings the flavors of wood-smoked cuisine to the Westside. The dimly lit dining area is one room with furry lighting fixtures that remind us of Cousin It. Just a little. The menu features a blend of Japanese and Mexican cuisine, which is perfectly represented in their hamachi tostada, a mix of dry miso, uni, and hamachi with burnt avocado and charred serrano yuzu mayo on top of a crunchy tostada. Dinner options like tlayuda, poblano rice, and grilled octopus are paired well with their P.S. Margarita and other tequila-based cocktails." - Juli Horsford
"If you want to eat in a brownstone in Park Slope, but your friend’s 5:30pm dinner time with his kids isn’t ideal, check out Palo Santo. The Latin/Caribbean menu changes often, but usually includes things like ceviche, tacos, and slow-cooked pork. You can also eat in the small backyard when it’s nice out." - Matt Tervooren
