Santiago's Mexican Restaurant

After having lived in Denver for over 21 years, I was finally taken to Santiago's. Over the years I have heard so much about the food, and especially the green chile.

Upon arriving, we grabbed the only table that was available. My friend, who is a veteran Santiago's customer, got in line to grab us some of their $2 breakfast burritos. Apparently, you get no choice of the meat in them (the day I was there it was bacon). You only order by mild, medium, or hot. I gobbled it down like a starving child and it was delicious (I got the medium).

We then ordered our "breakfast" from the menu. I ordered the menu breakfast burrito. Again, I asked for medium green chile. I asked for chorizo and was told the only option was bacon. I was fine with that because if one of my favorite foods. When my burrito arrived it was smothered with green chile, lettuce and tomatoes. Just how I love a smothered burrito.

Unfortunately, the only resemblance this burrito had to my $2 burrito was that they were both wrapped in tortillas. My more expensive "deluxe" burrito was barely lukewarm and the chile was bland with absolutely no spiciness to it at all.

The restaurant was extremely busy so I didn't send it back, but based on my first visit here I would return to get some of the $2 breakfast burritos to take home and enjoy on my couch. As far as the rest of their menu, I don't know that I'm interested in trying it again.

Most people hit this one on the head, this is cheap, decent, Mexican food.

Being off the busiest part of Leetsdale does suck a lot to make it a quick run into but fast service, food was alright and prices weren't painful.

I'd go back, but it's not b/c I'm blown away with how awesome it was.

Best breakfast burritos in town, hands down. At $2 a pop they are a staple in my office every Friday morning when we make a run. I would grab one every single morning if they had a drive thru...but please don't tempt me. The parking usually stinks but only because it's so packed. Can't knock them for that! Love it!
