This Santiago's bums me out - there are much better Santi's locations elsewhere (the one on S Leetsdale is great, for example)! This location is so hit-or-miss (usually "miss" when it comes to breakfast). I've ordered *mild* breakfast burritos several times and they almost always give me at least one spicy burrito instead. My last takeout order contained only really spicy ones - despite me ordering a much different heat level. I haven't had this issue at other Santiago's locations. I called the restaurant to try to get it fixed since it's happened repeatedly and no one called me back. Two stars for the friendly cashiers. I'd skip the Santa Fe location. read more

My review is on the chili, cheese beef fries. I was really praying that it was steak fries for the price I paid. However, when I arrived home ready to eat it I was shocked to see the beef meat, I don't think I would even give that to my dogs! The beef look like spam, all chopped up. I believe it was the least expensive beef they purchase. It wasn't even quality beef. Extremely disappointed. I would not recommend anybody to purchase these beef chili cheese fries at Santiago's . I would definitely refer you to Chubby's where it's quality! When I called to complain, all the gentleman could say was sorry. He didn't even offer to replace it. I would've paid the difference. In the end check your food before you leave the restaurant. Quality of BEEF SUCKS (low budget). read more

Service still sucks "Raul" what ticket says name is wants to play the same games, asking the 20 dumb questions after clearly hearing me state what I want exactly how I want it, still has small amounts of chili on the items like the chili cheese fries and smothered burrito. I also asked for no lettuce given the recent parasite problem, and guess what lettuce Was on my guac tostadas, and yes receipt clearly stated no lettuce. read more

Santiago's - Receipt of what I ordered - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I chose the Santa Fe Santiago's specifically because their website advertised breakfast burritos for $3.49. When I ordered mine with bacon, I was told the "meat of the day" was German sausage and I'd have to pay extra for anything different. Fine. Then they handed me only one burrito instead of the two I ordered. When I questioned why my total was around $9 for one burrito, they admitted their website prices weren't updated and basically shrugged it off--no apology, no concern that I'd made the trip based on inaccurate pricing. They kept insisting they'd done me a favor by not charging me extra for the bacon. To top it off, the eggs in the burrito were dry and the bacon was burnt. If your website can't be trusted and your staff doesn't care, it's hard to recommend eating here, so don't. read more

The service was fast, but it wasn't very friendly. The food was decent, but it didn't stand out as the best Santiago cuisine, and it seemed like the portion sizes had been reduced. The atmosphere felt more like a fast-food restaurant. Our meals appeared to be microwaved, and it was clear that everything was pre-frozen. Overall, I won't be returning. The food was bland and tasteless. read more

Been here multiple times, wasn't super impressed; but today I tried to change it up and just asked for extra meat in my breakfast burrito. Took longer as 3 other orders were made instantly while I waited. Now I'm extremely sick and can't leave my house. If you want prepackaged burritos, that look like they're made to order, you found the place. Otherwise, don't order anything else. read more

Update: Same great food. Same great service. A gem amongst the Santiago's!! Thank you for everything. -- Consistently good food. Quick service, especially if ordered ahead of time. Chips and salsa is amazing. The chips last a while, more than a few days. The hot green chili is very hot and addicting. Santiago's has been around for many years and all locations are splendid. Go there. You'll be glad you did. read more

There's bo questioning why Santiago's has been a Denver staple since as long as I can remember! It had been a while since I could get in to get my favorite Carnitas and bean burrito smothered with the best green chile and all the things! I ordered my burrito wrong but Joe took care of it and made it just how I wanted! Best green chile around and awesome service! Say less! Gracias, amigos! read more

I have such a positive association with Santiago's because of all my friends that hyped it up for months before I finally got to try one of their burritos. I've gotten it plain, filled, and smothered. My favorite is the carne asada burrito filled with green chile. Made the mistake of getting plain once, and it was one of the driest things I've ever tasted. Customer service is decent. There's usually seating (and always parking) that's open, but I'll often take my food to-go. I always seem to miss the window for breakfast burritos (before 11am) which is notoriously one of the best items on the menu. Their horchata is average but commonly paired with whatever meal I get. So far, I love being a regular here! read more

12/11/25 Preordered 21 Breakfast Burritos for my store to GIVE AWAY to Customers for Christmas. Usually do this about 3 times in Dec. They now charge 4% fee for credit cards and hide it. Another thing they dont show you is they add a 15% Gratuity to your bill you dont see. 21 Buritos @ 3.49 = 73.29 + tax 5.13 + 10.99 Tip = $89.41 " hmmm Not Shown " Total Jumps to 92.99. thats the $3.58 Double hidden fee. $14.57 I should NOT have to pay. Then to top it all off " you can see in the photo " They give you a receipt to sign that hides everything and ask for more of a tip while hiding the previous one. " i own a store around the corner And I dont charge no credit fee " Plus we give them free drinks and sometimes more for stopping in. So unless you ask for an Itemized receipt All you get is a credit reciept for 92.99 and the you still DONT see the fee or Automatic Tip. Im sorry but im NOT going to give you an $11 tip for me picking up my food. Your teaching these young people in you store this is Normal. that is Bad. you earn your tip, I dont give you extra so you can reduce your wages. Now you lost about $350 in sales from us over the year. Is it worth it ? I see someone mentioned 20% before in reviews. read more

We love Santiagos and Johnstown. It may make it so easy to call and order and pick up within about 15 minutes. We were so disappointed when we realized they were adding a 20% tip to our Colin orders. We have no idea when this started, but on the receipt, it says the suggested tip amounts are provided for your convenience. Not that they're going to get 20% of your bill for taking a phone call. If we were in the restaurant and they were actually providing service, we would happily give them 20% or more. I wanted to reach out to the owner, but after searching Google, there was no way to give feedback so I am doing it this way instead. When you pick up your Santiago's order, make sure that you check the total amounts. This was so disappointing. read more

They clearly switched up who was working in the kitchen the random morning we returned because the burritos we got last time we're just really something and made by the generous green chile guy. He was working the register this time. Trust me. I don't forget a face that is talented. The person who made our burritos this time needs to be put in burrito jail. They committed a felony and didn't provide enough glorious green chile. We *almost* didn't finish them. It will be a while before we return. Santiago's is up there as some of the best green chile at their zenith. Much like Los Carboncitos, it all depends on who is working the kitchen. The generous green chile guy is happy. Keep him in the kitchen at all times. He loves green chile and understands the importance of it. And he needs to train others to be happy about adding this green chile to burritos and other stuff. read more

I was having a great morning and thought I'd go and get a breakfast burrito. When I tried to order, the owner, who clearly hadn't showered in months, could not figure out how to use his own cash register. When I complained, I was told, with expletives, to shut up and wait. The burrito was disgusting and did not have the right meat in it. They also said they refused to serve Jews. One star is too good of a review for them. read more

Love the breakfast burritos but the lunch was so greasy. So gross. Do breakfast! Then stop! I give 4 stars for breakfast. No stars for lunch read more

Very good. Nice staff. Their smothered burrito is a winner and one of the best in the city.

Breakfast burritos are cheap and delicious, and always served hot up until like 11 am. The vibe inside is laid back Mexican restaurant with walk up counter and area to sit and eat if you want, although I prefer to grab my burritos and run. The servers are kind and mostly bilingual in Spanish and English and do a dang good job at taking a large amount of orders and running the front of house. Always a 100% go to for a burrito fix. read more

this place has their sh*t together. their green chile is awesome. choose mild, hot, or half and half. ask for extra chile, you're going to crave it. my next suggestion would be to try the stuffed sopapilla. chicken and beans are my favorite stuffings. then don't forget the dessert sopapillas - plain with honey, or cinnamon sugar. no alcohol. they have horchata, soft drinks, bottled teas, lemonades. excellent food and service. it's a family owned enterprise with different cousins working at different locations. their breakfast burritos are solid! fresh tortilla, excellent texture and moisture, nice balance of egg, cheese, and chile. we've been supporting this location and the north federal location for years. enjoy!!! read more

Will always be obsessed with Santiago's! This location didn't have seating but that's okay! This is my favorite burrito (smothered chicken burrito) and I get it every time. Beware the half mild/half spicy chile is HOT. If you like it on the less spicy side- get mild!! The chicken is perfectly shredded and not in weird cubes like some burritos. read more

This location has gone so far downhill. The last three times I have ordered have been disasters. They have a new POS system that clearly no one has been trained adequately on. As was the case today, the front counter staff would do well to handle customers instead of flirting with one another. There were two orders before mine that were incorrect because of the staff not paying attention. My order took well over 20 minutes with multiple large orders being called in front of mine. The only reason my order took 20 minutes and not longer was because I complained and a different front counter employee went back to the kitchen to get it. My taquitos were over done and lacked filling. Top that off with tipping suggested at 18% as a minimum?? No way. Don't get me wrong, I worked in food service, I know when tips are earned, and this definitely ain't it. Skip these guys and go to Illegal Pete's instead. You won't regret it. read more

The breakfast burritos are legendary within Denver. But be advised if you have a picky eater, your trip might require a little more planning as certain burritos fillings are only available on a set schedule. read more

This location in particular is just the absolute worst at order accuracy. I'm tired of paying for extras and not getting them with my meal - or items that are part of the meal just not there. No salsa for my hard tacos, no guacamole with my street tacos meal, sour cream in my breakfast burrito (that I did not ask for) are just a few of the latest mishaps. I ordered an egg, potato, and cheese burrito one time and the cashier rang it up as a complete special burrito and even charged me $2.00+ for the cheese. A $4 menu item burrito came out to about $7. WTH??? The fact that it happens so often to my orders is just laughable. And when I call to explain, I am talked back to with rudeness after being put on hold for 3-5 minutes. This location was amazing about 5-6 years ago... now it's just a place where the employees have no passion at all. I'm absolutely done with this location and probably all Santiagos locations. read more

Breakfast burritos are simple, no fuss, with mild, half and half or hot spicy options. Each day is a different meat option, so don't be picky and enjoy a quick yummy meal! Line is long at times but breakfast burrito orders come out very quickly once you order. Keep it simple and you won't be disappointed. Very casual atmosphere. read more

If you want good, decently priced, quick breakfast burritos this is your spot! Staff always friendly.

It's the summer of Covid-19 and so sadly a part of each review will have to take that into account. And in that department this location of Santiago's loses out because their take-out system's not what it should be. You can order on-line, but when and if they're busy they won't let you pay on-line and they use common pens where they make you sign the receipt after they take your card and swipe it themselves. Then you stand in a snaking line and run face-to-face into other customers who are waiting for their order or are leaving the restaurant. Not a good or safe system. As importantly their breakfast burrito (deluxe / smothered) wasn't anywhere near as substantial as the version they serve at their Leetsdale location. Searched long and hard for any egg and or pork in the dish. Spice level was fine as was the green chile but the lack of a decent stuffing made it "good" but in no way special. Sorry Santiago's but given your poor health protocol what would have been a three star review magically transformed itself into a 2 star review. Stay safe out there, David read more

My boyfriend and I were told that this was the best place for breakfast burritos in Denver, and they did not disappoint. They have a great selection of tacos, burritos, and other breakfast/lunch items. Everyday they have a burrito of the day, with different meat options depending on the day of the week. They also have vegetarian and gluten free options! The staff were very friendly and happy to help. Will definitely go back! read more

Cheap and yummy burritos. Get the half and half chili! Friendly service too and pretty fast even at lunch time

I consistently choose their stuffed sopapilla, but since the Covid pandemic, its price has increased, portion size has decreased, and there's less cheese. As a result, I rated them 4 stars instead of 5. The taste has slightly shifted to a more vegetarian-like flavor rather than a meaty one, possibly due to the use of a more generic chili recipe to cater to vegan and vegetarian customers. read more

It really doesn't have the greatest appeal out nor inside the establishment but the food is pretty good. I had some doubts just for the simple reason I'm particularly picky when it come to Mexican food. Needed something quick and spicy so my friend recommended this place considering it was in the area (Santa Fe Art) we were in. Walking in they have their menu printed on the top of the right hand side large format I didn't see any hand held ones so if you have never been there carful and move aside because it right next to the ordering/registering and during lunch it moves pretty quickly. I went ahead and ordered the burrito beef and bean smothered in Chile(hot) while my buddy ordered 2 Chile Renos with mild Chile. Orders dine in and probably waited maybe 5-6mins till our food arrived. My plate was really flavorful and the right amount of heat but careful I eat jalapeños like apples for those who are curious how hot I'd give it a 7 out of 10. I liked it not loved but it definitely better than a lot of other places in the area when it comes to delicious, affordable, fast Mexican food. read more

As the Santiago's duchess, I figure I should probably write a review. I come to Santiago's A LOT. I make it over there almost once a week and I've never had a bad meal. Most recently I've discovered their enchilada plate. 3 enchiladas for with rice and beans for $7. Need I say more? Best green chili in town. I've tried lots of others and Santiago's still reigns supreme. This location has a walk up and order counter or you can get table service. Everything here is quick and delicious. read more
