Santiago’s

Santiago’s is synonymous when it comes to breakfast burritos. Depending on what day it is they’ll change it up from ham, bacon, sausage, chorizo, etc. The breakfast burritos are somewhat small so I would recommend purchasing 2. Their green chili is pretty good. So good that they even sell them at local grocery stores. I normally get the half and half because it has just the right amount of heat for me. Also their burrito deluxe is hearty and delicious!

I usually go to the Santiago’s on Leetsdale and Holly, so perhaps the expectations are different. But the vibe here is just icky. To start, the restrooms are not attached to the restaurant. You have to walk out and go around the building to find them. There are no signs for this and when you ask the staff, they seem confused what you are asking for. Bathroom?
The floors and tables were dirty. Also the tables were lopsided and wobbly. At first, we sat in a booth and sank down so low because the cushions were nonexistent. We moved to a table with chairs — both times wiping the tables marked with food/​drink spillage on our own.
The food: It was lunch time so we didn’t get the breakfast burritos (that they are known for). But I ordered a chicken burrito deluxe (which means its smothered with chili, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese) — it was pretty good! Nothing special but I really do love the Santiago’s chili. My fiancé ordered the steak burrito (not deluxe) and it was just dry and bland. He had to dip it into my chili.
The service was OK. Everyone was nice but definitely no sense of urgency, as there was a long line the entire time we were there. I would give this location 4 stars on food only if you order it to go. If you are going to eat here, the stars go down.

Have been here three times early mornings by 6:30/7:00 first time NO BEANS second time NO BEEF third time burrito was to be hot… NO chili inside what kinds kind of mexican restaurant has NO beans or beef??? I will NOT ever come to this Santiago’s again!

Me and a couple of friends visited this location this afternoon. The food was sub-​par at best. This is the second time I have visited this location and this is the second time I have been disappointed. My friend is a huge fan of Santiago’s but he said «WOW, this is literally the worst tasting burrito I have ever had.» All I could do was laugh because I should have told that food was gross but I just didn’t feel like driving to the location on Leetsdale in Denver. We both ordered our burritos with some heat on it as in hot, we got boring and tasteless. I will never ever again go to this location AND I mean NEVER.

When the outside parts you see are this filthy and run down, imagine how bad the parts are you don’t see! Kitchen must be a nightmare. Waited 26 mins for 2 pre made cold breakfast burritos

Visiting from California, this is delicious! The hot is sufficiently hot. We came on Saturday and the chile is pork and bacon. In case nobody else has mentioned:
chips+breakfast bowl=chilaquilez :D

Bad service and ordered a guacamole salad which was small in portion and no salsa, that was extra.

Went in got an Indian Taco as I normally would at any of the other Santiago’s. and I have to be honest it was just as good as all of the others I’ve had, I would almost say their extra hot here was better than the extra hot in Longmont because they are adding fresh peppers to it. there was a line but it was tolerable (assume would be worse during breakfast rush), but that is to be expected.

After reading the reviews below I have to agree on a lot of stuff and disagree on a few things. First off this is Santiago’s, it ain’t five star dining it’s a Mexican fast food place. This location does lack a little bit of urgency on behalf of the staff. But I know they must make at least 1500 burritos every morning! The food is worth the wait I guess that’s all I’m saying. Just remember that if the line is long, there’s something good at the end of it!

Best breakfast burrito in Denver! Shocked to see less then 4 stars. Yes it’s busy but at 2.50 $ a burrito with amazing green chile in it. Don’t hesitate! Lunch and dinner I can’t rate.

Me and my son love the food. Even though we get the same thing which is a smothered beef deluxe for me and 2 supreme beef tacos for him. We’re always happy with our meals.
However I’m not happy with how long it takes to order in the drive thru but some days its all worth it.

They are very very slow. You will wait 45 minutes. This bad for Santiago’s brand. Go to another location.

I haven’t had a bad experience at this Santiago’s. The burritos are always served fresh and fast. Service has been good. Chili is good

Avoid this location. The past two times I’ve order from them they have gotten my order wrong. This last time when I called them to have it fixed the person who handed me my order through the drive through accused me of lying and it took two phone calls the their corporate office and two phone calls too the store to get it taken care of.
I guess Santiago’s is more concerned about opening up more stores then it is too insure the quality of there food and customer service.

Santiagos is by far the best in town. This location however is lacking. The staff are rude and not customer service oriented. The chili is a bit off compared to the other locations and twice I didn’t feel very good after. I will drive out of my way to go to the other stores.

How in the world does this place have any reviews less than 4 stars? Ask anyone in Denver: The best breakfast burritos in the metro area are from Santiago’s.
To be fair, I guess I can’t vouch for the rest of their menu. But I know where my go-​to breakfast burritos can be found.

Yummy breakfast burritos but they will serve their friends and regulars before you. The cashier rolled her eyes at us and I had to repeat my order three times.
They said some pretty nasty things in Spanish about my coworker and must have thought we did not understand. Very insulting.
Bad service and parking is weird. Don’t attempt the drive thru as it’s tiny and cramped.

Five stars for the food and the green chili four stars for the location and the speed of the drive-​through. Hands-​down the best breakfast burritos and green chili in Denver Colorado

The burrito itself was fine, but the green chile was my favorite I’ve ever had.
Salsa was extra spicy.
All food is served in to-​go styrofoam cartons, which I didn’t love, but it is what it is.

This new location is finally open at 6^th & Havana. I didn’t make it inside the building for a couple of reasons. Reason one. I was hoping this one had a drive-​thru. It does not. Reason two… the line inside was longer than what I was interested in at the moment. It also didn’t seem to move as quickly as the one at the Leetsdale location. I sat in the parking lot for close to ten minutes setting up the business on Unilocal mobile and, in that time, only two people came out.
With that said, I cannot provide a food review but I can provide location, structure & parking feedback. I think the location is placed well, as far as visibility goes, but I think traffic on 6^th during prime hours, between this place & the 7 – 11 (both at the northwest corner of the intersection), is going to be horrific. I’ll make sure I check it out soon. I think the structure is cute. The front reminds me of a huge bay window. Parking… oh, Santiago… seems like you have a thing for structures that only allow parking for ten cars or less. At least this location does provide space where you can drive around the building & come out on the other side instead of having to back up & straighten out five times before you are in a position to get back on the street. When I pulled in, I did see an opening off of the right side of the parking lot that may open up to additional parking that may be shared with the business next door.
I’ll keep you posted.
