I ordered a bunch of things from Santiago recently including tamales, birria tacos, birria ramen, al pastor tacos, and chips and queso. The tamales were tasty-- they have 3 diferent types and I got one of each. They were all a bit spicy so that's something to beware of because it wasn't expected. The queso was warm and creamy, it was a queso blanco, but there wasn't a large portion. I liked the tacos, but the birria tacos were served open face and without a side of consomme, definitely a little disappointing. The birria ramen was super rich, delicious, and cheesy, but very oily. The noodles themselves were cooked so much that they were quite mushy. I also wished that it came with some cilantro and onions or other veggies in it. I might order from here again, but it probably won't be my go-to if I'm craving birria. read more

The food was really good, but just FYI, the red Chilaquiles are super spicy so if you can't handle those spices, I recommend you get the green ones read more

Pretty good Birria. A lot of the other food I've tried was very mid. The service varies greatly. I think they're trying their best but it's a difficult thing to navigate with language barriers. This place is in the back of a grocery store with limited seating so I usually take it to go :) read more

Came in to order take out. You order at the register where you can access their menu by scanning the qr code. I ordered the birria pizza and was surprised that it was done in under 5 minutes. When I opened it at home and ate my first bite. I noticed it was really cold and didn't even have a cheese stretch that usually comes with birria Tacos. I felt like they just gave me a order that was already sitting in the back that no one picked up. The flavors were there and I don't want to come off as a Karen but it I think it was barely room temperature just take a look at the pictures. I've been here before the menu changed and really liked it and hope this is just a one off. Might be a while before I go back and felt the shaft but oh well you can't always get a good meal right? read more

Move to Columbus 10 months ago from Los Angeles and so far I have tried easily 50 different taco spots in Columbus area and this one so far has been the overall best. Quality products, food was hot made to order but I will say they are slow but that's because the kitchen is small and they stay pretty busy. Now I will say their chorizo is really good. Their Asada is above average and their pastor is good for non-spit grilled. Their salsas are 7 red has good overall flavor read more

Really wanted to like their food, but it was way too salty and greasy for me. I ordered the birria "pizza" and the birria ramen. The "pizza" was basically just a big quesadilla. It came with cilantro and onions, which helped with the saltiness a little bit, but their birria is just WAY over-seasoned. The consommé made things worse because it's even saltier than the birria itself. Keep in mind that I'm somebody who typically likes more salt on my food than the average person. The food was SO salty it was almost sickening to eat. I will praise them on the fact that they gave me four free 1 oz salsa containers (2 green and 2 red), and I actually liked the green one, but the red one just tasted like tomato juice with barely any flavor. Overall, the food was just not enjoyable for me. I don't know if this is just how birria normally tastes, or if it's just this location, but I don't recommend unless you have an inhuman salt tolerance. I think the flavor has potential if they just added less sodium. read more

Assuming Su Taco Kitchen is part of Santiago, this is for them. Legitimately one of, if not the best birria taco experiences I've had in Columbus. The tortillas were crispy and cheesy, the meat was tender and full of flavor. Their consommé added a depth to the flavor. And their rojo y verde sauces were fantastic. And this is all over a delivery order that took 20 minutes to get to me. I can't wait to try it fresh and explore more of the menu. read more

Santiago Supermarket - Quesabirria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

Simply put, some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. It's a small grocery market with a meat counter and dine-in seating in the back. Just order from the menu at the front register, and head on back to await the amazing meal you are about to have! We went for a weekend lunch and enjoyed trying lots of different things. We started with the guacamole and chips, then dug into several kinds of tacos (we loved the fish) and finished with two beautiful tamales (one pork and one chicken). They serve the food with fresh lime and fresh homemade salsas. As others have said, a true hidden gem. I am looking forward to many more delicious meals here. read more

This review is for take out from Su Taco Kitchen, located inside this store. I've never shopped here, but I ordered delivery through Grubhub with a couple of friends. Everyone needs to know about this place, because it is, by far, the best Mexican food I've had in Columbus. The Pizza Birria in the center of the attached picture was basically a giant quesadilla, and it was delicious. The other stand-out item was the Ramen Birria (marked with an arrow in the picture because it's hard to see in the back there). I only got one bite of it before the rest was eaten, but from what I tasted, and what the people who ate it said, it was amazing. Everything else was really good, too. (Next time I'd skip the queso and the churros, though, and try a couple more things.) In the attached picture, note that we ordered everything with no beans, extra rice. 1) Platillo Alambre, 2) Chips & Queso Dip, 3) Pizza Birria, 4) Huevos Con Chorizo (Eggs & Sausage), 5) Birria Ramen*, 6) Churros, 7) Included Tortillas, Salsas, & Birria Consommé. [*The Birria Ramen is also marked with the arrow in the picture.] My picture isn't that great. There are much better pics on their social media accounts. read more

The ordering process is very confusing and inefficient, but the food is terrific. Making the ordering difficult is kinda the thing there, I Guess. Multiple customers came in as I was waiting for my food and couldn't figure out how to be serviced. Maybe that's what they're known for? Based second? They weren't noticeably friendly but they sure make a killer burrito. all that matters. Loved it go here if you enjoy traditionally good food read more

We decided to try this place because of the great reviews. HOWEVER, after we placed an order for 6 tacos through DoorDash, there somehow was a triple charge on our card. We called the place to ask about it and they said it must have been a mistake but they had already made the food, so they could not offer a refund for the tacos we did not order. Not fully blaming the situation on the place because DoorDash seemed to mess up, but their way of handling a situation like this rubbed us wrong. read more

I wish I had a picture but I think I just consumed the tastiest huevos con chorizo. The rice and beans are top notch. It may be better than La Michoacana. read more

What a hidden gem! This is a supermarket that serves food- breakfast lunch and dinner! We stopped here for breakfast. You order at the cash register and get your food by the meat department in the back. I had a breakfast burrito- chorizo, eggs, cheese, lettuce, tomato, beans and sour cream. It tasted very fresh and was a large portion. We also had the Huevos con chorizo. It came with refried beans and rice. Alongside tortilla wraps. Decent prices and delicious food! read more

TOTALLY, COMPLETELY, 100% DESERVING of its 5 star reviews....!!! Santiago is a Latin American grocery, meat market, and restaurant. And it's truly fantastic... The barbacoa taco was the best barbacoa I've ever had in my life. Crave-worthy and spectacular. The carnitas are delicious. The tamales and pozole soup (both only available on weekends) are both outstanding. And the carneceria (butcher shop) has really nice meat at really low prices. This is one of my new favorite places. Fantastic food, great prices, and friendly, welcoming service. read more

Not impressed with the food. Ok the meat in my tacos was burnt and there was not much flavor.

Delivered through DoorDash for lunch today. Breakfast burrito and chips and salsa. THANK YOU for having good chorizo!!! Chips and salsa are baller too. read more

I'm only giving this 4 stars because I have not tasted their food in the restaurant part yet. I plan to asap though! The place is so clean & organized. The people are so friendly! This is a true gem in Hilliard. I plan on updating review after I eat here. There's not a lot of places you find chilaquiles, such a variety of tortas, or milanesas on a menu so I can't wait! ** It's definitely a big plus that they carry maté, not your grocery store version but actual Argentinian brand read more

Thank you Yelpers for delivering this one! I can literally walk here if I want, and I never knew it existed. You walk in and pay at the front register. They have menus if you want to look. Super friendly guy rang me up. The tables and pickup are in the back of the market where the meat is. It's a total hidden gem. I ordered chips and guacamole thanks to the Yelpers. They make the chips fresh and they're the best around. Same goes for the guacamole. I ordered 3 tacos. They come on double corn tortillas. I got a chorizo, al pastor, and carne asada. They were all fantastic, but I would rank them in that order. The chorizo will have me craving tacos for quite awhile. Prices are very reasonable. I'm excited to tell everyone in Hilliard about this place. read more

Super small Latinx market in Hilliard but is bursting the seams with as amazing product. Very clean, well-organized, and incredibly well-stocked. They had everything on my list from posole and maseca to avocado leaves and tender chuletas. The meat is fresh and reasonably priced and the modest produce department carries a really nice variety. I did not have time to order food from the onsite restaurant, but definitely plan on it during my next trip. It smelled so good. Will be adding it to my list of regular grocery stores. read more

In short: The food is bomb. I think I may have found a new lunch spot. The deets: Once again, Yelp's "Hot and New" feature steered me in the right direction! TIP: Food is ordered at the cash register. Everyday has a new special but today I ordered the carnitas tacos. They were great! They are small street taco size, freshly prepared, and come with the fixings. I would have them again for sure. I would like to try some fajita veggie tacos next time. Go check these guys out!! read more

Santiago Supermarket - Carnitas Tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

Stumbled upon this place on yelp while trying to find some Mexican food. So unassuming, and never would have known it existed otherwise. The restaurant is located in the back of a supermarket, but the menus are up front (at the cash register) and you order here too. First of all---the chips are must try. They are delicious, warm pockets of greasy goodness. Seriously, the best tortilla chips I've had at a Mexican restaurant. The guac was good too! We tried a few different tacos, and the chorizo and al pastor were the winners. We also got a quesadilla, which was delicious. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu. I think next time I would get the order to go, but they do have a few table if you want to eat there. read more

We order from this place through GrubHub a lot - they're awesome! Great burritos, tacos and tostones.

I had lunch here with my brother. I had a steak torta. As well as chips and guacamole. It was some of the best food i've had in awhile. Clean, fresh and tasty. Good service and definitely affordable. I will be eating here more frequently. I look forward to exploring the menu. You order up front at the grocery check out lane. The sandwich had a lot of flavor. Nothing was overly spicy either. I ordered take out after eating here a few days ago. The food was fresh and delicious when i got it home. I had the steak burrito and fried plantains. Both were epic! read more

Great food! Order at the register when you walk in. They have menus available. Great steak! Great beef tongue tacos! Chicken quesadillas were very good. A must have is the chips and guacamole. Top notch. I had the steak burrito. Very good. Market is spotless and organized. It is hard to see that there is an area in the back to eat when you walk in. Just order and head to the back. They will bring your food out to your table. read more

Wonderful! This place is tucked right in the middle of a little grocery store. You order at the check-out register, immediately to your right when you walk in. We ordered the al pastor tacos with guacamole and a chorizo quesadilla with rice and beans. The al pastor was incredibly flavorful and tender. There was the perfect amount of accompaniments. The guacamole was fresh and chunky (just how I like it!). The chorizo was legitimate; the tortilla oozed with the oils from the chorizo--which I think is a sign of true quality chorizo. The servings were plentiful. We grabbed a bottled drink from the grocery store to drink with our meal. The owner came out and talked to us. He was extremely friendly and was very proud of his restaurant (as he should be!). I'll definitely be coming back again. read more

The carryout from this market is on point! The service is always super friendly on the phone and in person. We love their al pastor and steak tacos. Their guacamole is also delicious with their fresh made to order chips. We have also had their tamales once- I think they only have those on the weekend. They are delicious and spicy! Reasonably priced as well. read more

Santiago Supermarket - Guacamole! Fresh and creamy deliciousness - Mexican Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

Great local place. Right price. Got the tacos. Tried the steak, al pastor, and chorizo. Steak was best. Al pastor was aight but not on Los Guachos level. Highly recommend the tostones. If I were to make a recommendation (and this may be the Midwesterner in me) I would say that the tostones would be 100 times better if they came with something to dip them in. read more

Amazing tortilla chips right out of the fryer and the freshest guacamole you'll find anywhere. The chorizo tacos were muy perfecto. The carne asada tacos were flawless. The red hot sauce in the pork tamales was dynamite (in all the right ways). My mouth was literally on fire. The chicken quesadilla was plentiful and oh so tasty. This is one of the best hidden gems in Columbus. read more
