One of the most important (though not entirely proven) properties of Epazote, which that article doesn't directly mention, is that it is carminative. Very useful thing when your cuisine consists mostly of beans. Also, Carminative is one of those words that probably scores you extra points if you're ever a guest on QI.
I think the best way to make a meal at Santo to work is to co-operate. The Burrito, Quesadilla and Cazuela dishes are all quite large and could easily feed two regular people if they shared some side dishes. Alternatively, go for a taco dish with some sides. The side dishes at a Mexican restaurant are usually well worth exploring (black beans, refried beans, escabeche etc). I'm often puzzled that I can't get people to share side dishes at restaurants; it seems people don't feel they're getting full value unless they overload on mains and big starters.
Anyway, four of us had a really nice meal. Sad you couldn't make it, James and Rascal. Yar boo sucks to Ed and Poots :-P
