This place is close to home and I love Mexican food! I finally decided to try it out after driving by for a few months, what a mistake. This place is a joke. I came in on a Thursday, working that day was a cook, cashier, waitress and a gentleman who was having lunch with his family. Plenty of people. I waited 45 minutes for the worst tacos I've ever paid for and a mediocre pork chop meal with a side of green chili. It wasn't very busy when I placed my order but after a small rush of business workers came and had their order taken by the cook and got their meals well before mine came out, not fair. Also the green chili literally tasted like vomit. I won't be going back and I urge you not to waste your time. read more

I was browsing some of my own Yelp reviews and noticed I've been visiting Senor Miguel's for 10 years! Wow! I like this place, obviously I stick to the enchiladas, tacos and the occasional breakfast burrito. I order a pint of salsa with every meal I get here. I like their salsa and it's nice to have some to snack on for an afternoon or a couple of days. The last few times I've stopped by, there's been a new gal working here. Medium height, lighter brown hair, glasses, struts around like she's queen of the world... Yeah, she is kind of rude. Last time I walked in and she was there I cringed. She seems to take pleasure in pointing out that I am so very wrong to even be asking for salsa before lunch because they don't have any made. After 10 years of eating here, I think I've only walked away with no salsa maybe twice. Girl, you've got to treat your customers better! The owner, at least I think he's the owner, is super nice, always a pleasure to see him and chit chat with him. I'll keep coming back. I like supporting the local business. I just hope Miss Attitude either stops being rude or isn't there next time I stop by. read more

One of our favorite Mexican restaurants. Great family owned business with delicious food.

Tasty and very reasonable breakfast burritos. Would highly recommend. Very fast and friendly service.

When they say the green chile is HOT - believe them! If you like it hot - this is your place. I had the chicken chimichanga and it was great. We got takeout so I can't comment on the service or dining-in experience. A couple of my co-workers turned me on to this place...it's a great little 'hole in the wall' kinda place. Definitely will go back! read more

This is the only place I've found since moving here from New Mexico that has "authentic" New Mexico green chile; but fair warning: when they say hot, they mean HOT. But it's flavorful and delicious. If you're not sure if you can take the heat, ask for a sample or order the chile cheese fries. The rest of their fair is pretty standard New Mexican food, and I enjoyed it. The portions are quite large, so consider sharing. read more

Excellent food, great waitress, nice and clean, good atmosphere we loved the food. Spicy HOT HOT green chili beware, but delicious flavor. We enjoyed lunch very well read more

I had heard rumors from multiple co workers of the awesome breakfast burritos at Senor Miguels and finally got around to checking them out. Went in around 9am on a weekday, just a couple other people in there so we didn't need to worry about lines. Ordered 2 burritos, $2.50 a piece! Not bad but these aren't regular sized burritos, they're smaller but so what? They're so cheap, buy more if you want more! You can get mild, hot or half and half. Mild is perfect for me - I heard the hot is pretty killer! Veggie breakfast burrito had egg potato and sauce. So good. Kind of a weird experience in the store though. We ordered and they put our order in and started to make it. We stood there and waited, then they asked if we were waiting for something....we hadn't paid yet so yeah, we were waiting. Kind of strange customer service but the food was good! read more

Been going to Senor Miguel's since they were located on Alameda and Sable and never wrote a review until now. This place is awesome. The best breakfast burritos I have ever had. The green chile is out of this world. I always have to get 2 because 1 just isn't enough. And the owners are awesome people, very friendly. Keep it up! #5Stars read more

Our waitress was ok but the food was terrible. The chicken tacos were cold to the touch and the beef tacos had absolutely NO seasoning. We had a hair on our plate and was offered to remake the taco touching it. First and last time unfortunately. Casa Bonita has better food, no joke. read more

Prices are low but bring your own spices and jalapenos. Portions are good but no real flavor the times on yelp are also not correct

This place may not be big and finely decorated but they make up for it in taste. I have eaten Chili Rellanos in every state except West Virginia and these are the best. Add to that the awesome green chili poured over the top and you have a little slice of heaven. I grew up in Colorado and moved away a few years ago. Thankfully it's only 20 minutes from DIA! It's on my list on every visit to Colorado. I even order a gallon of green chili to take home with me - love it. read more

Had the chicken chimichangas. Ordered them extra hot. They delivered. The Green Chili sauce was delicious and it came out spicy. The flavor of the chimis was really incredible. Two lunches plus tip for $20 even. Nice sit down experience for the price of Chipotle. Wife had the chicken burrito supreme. She said it was average. Just being honest. Get the chimis. You can have them mild too. Chips and salsa were fine, but nothing special. read more

Great Mexican in Aurora. This tiny little hole in the wall is in a class by itself. Great Chile Rellenos, awesome daily made green chile and good food in general. It is all family owned and operated and it shows. read more

This is the only reason I will get up at 6:30 AM. The breakfast burritos are made 'with the hottest green chile in town' which I LOVE. You can get mild or 1/2 mild 1/2 hot but I don't wimp. read more

This is my all-time FAVORITE mexican restaurant. I go here at least 3 times a week for their breakfast burritos and once every couple weeks for lunch (love the Navajo taco). I love the hot chili, but if you're a wimp, you might stick with the 1/2 and 1/2! The service is great! The business is family owned and operated, they don't do a lot of advertising but they can get really busy, especially in the morning. I have always received excellent service! read more

Very good and reasonably priced. My favorite part was the green chili on the enchilada and Burrito. I recommend this place and would come back. read more

Great breakfast burritos with a different flavor during days of the week. I work Saturday mornings and wished they opened sooner so I could get a few (Sat. open at 10). The salsa is good and makes a great snack when you get it to go. Small family owned business so sometimes you have to be patient. read more

You may not have liked my review, but it was a honest review not an angry one. Your response REALLY proves how unprofessional this place is and unwillingness to listen to a customer. The two concerns you failed to address in your response was that the burritos ARE NOT made to order they are heated under a heat lamp, and the attitudes of your cashiers can come off very rude and not welcoming. Which could be the way you run things, either way my rating stands. read more

Well normally its pretty good service and good food, but from 10am-11am don't expect to get any service , don't expect to get to order, don't expect a drink or chips and salsa. Wait a minute why are you even open then?!!?!?!? Came into try the menu instead of the breakfast burritos, they lady behind the counter said " we dont serve any food till 11." I then replied can I order a drink and she sighed. Long story short their basically closed from 10am to 11 am. read more

This is my favorite Mexican food in Aurora. It is the ultimate comfort food. Portions are big, prices are low, and it's always a great experience with the family. We used to do take out from them at the old location and they were always so fast and friendly. Went to the new location today and it was absolutely wonderful. The waitstaff was on it and the owner even showed my son how to make a paper rose. Everything was so nice inside, booth was comfy and the AC felt great. read more

I would not recommend this place to my enemy . Yuck. I had tacos order the combination. I was staving and usually everything taste good then and that was a big nope. Tacos no flavor . Guacamole was horrible that we order as a appetizer. My friend had the carnitas burrito . It's looked great but he said it had no flavor. Rice was good . The inside had Christmas decorations on the ceiling . I even got sick my lunch . read more

Love coming here for a good burrito! Friendly staff, and great food! They have great breakfast burritos as well. I love that it is locally and family owned. Crystal is usually out waitress and remembers us and our order every time. read more

The food is pretty good. Their hours are not reliable. more than once I've went and their doors were locked well before the stated closing hour and they don't post that you can't use your card after a certain time telling you pull money from the ATM with fees. I'm just going to use GrubHub and order from a different place from now on. read more

My husband and I both lived in Texas for at least a decade, so we were used to getting really good mexican food fairly cheap. We've lived in Colorado now for 10 years but never really found a mexican place that compared - everything was more pricey and it usually looked like slop on a plate - we figured we could make better at home. I purchased a coupon on restaurant.com for Senor Miguel's, and when I showed the waitresses she smiled and said, "You're more than welcome to use that, but it's really hard for two people to spend that much here." She was right. Their chips and salsa are pretty good - the chips were crispy, salted right, and not greasy, and the salsa has bits of fresh onion and cilantro in it. Just be advised - the first basket and bowl are free, but afterwards it's around $2.50 for more. Not a big deal, and it keeps us from filling up on just chips and salsa, but I'm not sure if they offer more for larger tables or if you have to pay. I ordered the small combo plate, a bean tostada, bean burrito, beef taco, and cheese enchilada for $7.25, and my husband got the navajo taco. I wasn't crazy about the ground beef in the taco - it was plain for my taste - and the cheese enchilada wasn't runny, gooey cheese, but more like shredded cheese that was still firm on the inside, so I wasn't crazy about that, either, but the burrito and tostada were great. The navajo bread was more like a fried tortilla and was good, but a little different than if you get it made from scratch elsewhere. The second time we each got the chicken and bean burrito, $7 each, smothered with green chili, salsa, sour cream, lettuce, and cheese. These were awesome. We also got sopapillas - theirs are big (we received 2, each was about half a tortilla sized but thicker). They are covered with cinnamon and sugar, so you may ask for a lighter dusting if you don't want as much, but they were very good. Their green chili is AMAZING. I've never liked green chili before and my husband loves it but has never found anywhere in CO that he actually enjoys it. Be warned - the hot is super hot., and if you bring some home (like we did) the second day it's REALLY hot. The 1/2 and 1/2 is perfect - it's still hot (it makes my nose run a little - but the flavor is fantastic. If you only like a little hint of heat, I'd definitely go with mild. One more thing to note, their sign says they're closed on Sundays and close at 7:30pm every other night, so plan ahead. We will definitely be back. read more

We've been eating here for years. I'm very picky about Mexican food, since I grew up with it. They are really sweet people. However, I do think since it is family owned they don't really have great customer service. It seems to be the norm with family-owned restaurants. I wish they didn't have all the pictures up, and the "homie" toys. This is an instance where less is more. The food, I can't complain. This is where I get my hot green chili and beans fix. This is not a healthy choice people. If you know real Mexican food, everything is fried in lard. My mom still cooks this way. Not healthy, but really good!! To me, their "hot" isn't like Chubby's where it is so hot you can't enjoy the food. I will continue to eat here . Although, I usually take it to go, because the service is frustrating. read more

Love this place, though you have to find what you like, THE BEST STUFFED sopippilas in town have tried them many other places and these are the best. Service can be slow and they are not the firendliest at times but will eat here again and again to have the stuffed sopipilla. Also, good breakfast burritos, my favorite are the potato and steak on Fridays! Chips and salsa are also good. Def a hole in the wall. read more

This is one of my favorite mexican food restaurants. If you want really good HOT HOT HOT green chile this is where its at!!!! they have really good prices too. read more

Very inviting and comfortable, open dining room. A great value fire the price. Yum! The tamales are delicious, the chili and hot sauce are HOT and full of flavor. My next visit will feature one of the daily specials, they all sounded good. read more

I love this place and I eat there just about everyday and at least 20 of my co-workers eat there and also love this place. I think Mike is one of the nicest people and probably the most humble person I have ever met. I wish him and his family the best of success in all of there ventures. Good Job Miguel's... read more

There's something about eating in a family owned restaurant that I love. I think it has to do with being in "their house" and not just in the corporate hell place they work at or at the job they hate (although, just like being in some people's houses. You might be privy to a little too much info but that's also part of being "a familiar". Funny how close 'familiar" and the word "family" or "familia" are.). Mike and I have history. We worked together for a lot of years before he quit to manage one of his family's Santiago restaurants up north. After he took over that location, the restaurant prospered and was great. After he left that restaurant to start Senor Miguel's that location suffered from not having him at the helm. Mike's a good guy, hard worker, and a smart businessman and I'm glad to see that his restaurant is still doing well and that he continues to make good food and some badass chile. Now that I'm working in the area, you'll probably be seeing me in here pretty regularly. I'm the old big Japanese guy, sweating balls from eating hot chile and smiling 'til my eyes disappear 'cause yeah, that's how I roll. read more

I have visited a few times now, usually for the breakfast burritos which are the only reason this place gets the two stars. They thrive themselves on being family owned and operated and to have the hottest green chile in town. It is obviously family owned as you will clearly see family photos on the walls and a home like feels to the decor, but according to another yelper the owner is related to the Santiagos family somehow if this is the case that could make this place the 'el chubbys' of santiagos. If you've ever had chubbys compares to el chubbys you know what I'm talking about. The green chile is pretty darn hot but its more of a tobasco type of hot where they focus more on heat than flavor which is sad because the beef buritto I had was well seasoned and had a lot of potential I just couldn't get past the taste of the chile. read more

Had lunch there a while back with several people who work in the surrounding area. Everybody agreed the chicken in the burritos was stringy and tough. I mentioned this nicely to who ended up being the owner when paying and he just chewed me one side and down the other and was very angry to the point it was a little scary. It was like the soup nazi on Seinfeld. My co-workers couldn't believe it. While it wasn't a complaint we made, the waitress was kind of a snot, but that again wasn't even mentioned to the owner. We all agreed we would NEVER go back there again. The restaurant business is very competitive. You can't operate this way and make any money or keep in business. read more

The only reason that you do not get 5 is the service. They are slow and unprofessional....it's like they are owed a job, cuz they are family...they should be MORE outgoing and enthusiastic because they are family....My fiancee and I went here for 8 weeks in a row for lunch on Mondays, and nobody even acknowledged us. I think when you have customers come in that often, as a small business, you should acknowledge it.... read more

I think the food is excellent, if you want HOT chili this is the spot. It is family owned but I think that is a positive. They like to get to know their customers & are friendly. Its great prices & everyone that I have told about this place are hooked. Nothing serious to complain about- read more

As the others stated, the service can be ok to non existent. I've heard from other people I work with that they have been passed over for service by at least 5 tables as I have before. The food is desent but when you don't get service it turns into a complete waste of time. read more

We absolutely love this place. We have been going for several years. The food is exceptional. I just wish it was closer so we could go more.

They microwave everything which is kind of a turn off.. At least microwave the plate not the styrofoam.. Green chili is good and hot.. With a little more effort this place could be good.. STEP 1 stop microwaving peoples meals !!! read more

I enjoyed eating here. We normally get breakfast burritos, but occasionally get lunch. Breakfast ends at 10 AM but numerous times I have came in after that time looking for a good burrito for me and my son. They have always made us one from scratch with no problems. The staff has always been nice to us and honestly I have nothing bad to say about this place. read more
