    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.

    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!

    amazing breakfast burritos, freshly made and the perfect size! they're cheap too... the service is very fast, so i think this is a great place for a quick, to-go meal. the interior is fairly clean, with plenty of seating.

    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!

    They ask for more of a tip while hiding they anready charged a tip

    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.

I grabbed a seat at the bar where the bartender was friendly and engaging. On a recent Wednesday at 7:15, the restaurant was packed. When I left around 8:30, it was still busy. That's usually the best review a restaurant can get. Loyal customers don't keep coming back out of habit. They come back because it feels like home. The all-day happy hour margarita for $9 certainly doesn't hurt. The second one arrives before you've had time to argue yourself out of it. I ordered the enchiladas with carne asada and their house mole. If you're expecting one of those intensely complex moles with enough ingredients to fill a pantry, this isn't that. Adelitas' version is comforting, approachable, and deeply homey. It tastes less like a culinary experiment and more like something your abuela has been making for decades. The carne asada was tender, the rice and beans were exactly what they should be, and every bite reminded me why comfort food never goes out of style. Before leaving, I made the smartest decision of the evening. Tres leches to go. I devoured it later at home while Netflix asked if I was still watching. The cake somehow manages to be light while completely satisfying. Don't skip it. Better yet, don't pretend you're saving it for tomorrow. Adelitas isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you well, welcome you warmly, and send you home happier than when you arrived. Whether your abuela was Mexican...or Greek...you'll understand exactly what they're serving here.

We ordered the chips and salsa trio to start, quesabirria, chicken and steak fajitas with corn equites and rice/beans as a side, and lastly the carnitas. Personally I got the carnitas and was shocked at the portion! The presentation was beautiful and overall it was quite tasty. The hard part with this meal was that the black bean puree was underneath all the meat and au jus so it was a bit challenging to scoop up and put in the tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were pretty stuffed that we couldn't make it to dessert.
