Our great go to, inexpensive Mexican restaurant. Love their burritos and burgers. Deluxe Burrito Plate, Mexican Hamburger,

Great place and great owners and staff! Been going to Santiago's since 1995. Love it, definitely a Colorado institution! Haha 1/2 and 1/2 all the way! read more

Called in an order. Checked in at the front register and was told it would be a few minutes. Instead of telling us when it was ready they put our food in the 'warmer' for 20 minutes. I finally got pissed off enough to try and cancel the order - then they miraculously found it. This has happened before.. disorganized at best. Poor customer service at worst. I'm done with them. read more

The deluxe carnitas burrito was not very good or fresh. The meat tasted like tuna. Carnitas is supposed to be deep fried and it was more like slow cooked stew The chicken enchiladas were mediocre. I guess this explains why I had not been back for 5 years, maybe local flavor but will be back in another 5 years. MAYBE read more

Love the green chili. Wish they had delivery.

Love this place. Super good, polite and homey vibe. A few servers could smile a time or two, but other then that it is amazing read more

Best authentic Mexican food in a 50 mile radius. Chile fries with some asap the go to, always gas!

It is your typical Mexican place with the typical menu items. Nothing really unique here. The staff offers up chips and salsa when you sit down, but they DO NOT mention it's an extra $2.00. They make you think they're complimentary which I find very sneaky. You don't realize it until the bill comes. That knocked it down a star. What knocked it down another star was the horrible underseasoned, flavorless taco. It's ground beef and I swear they didn't even salt it. Taco Bell is so much more seasoned and had tons more flavor. Service was spotty but the server was nice. I don't think I'll be returning. There are so many other options out there. read more

Santiago's Viii Mexican Restaurant - Small combo. Kinda boring - Mexican Near Me - Johnstown, Colorado

Good Lord this was just delicious- and I wasn't even hungry, but I was on a date so I ate anyway (I know I'm kind of gluttonous, it's really a problem). I have eaten at Santiago's before, but this specific restaurant is the bomb (I'm dating myself with that phrase). Food was pretty delicious; I ordered the stuffed sopapilla. Do it, it's delectable. I also want to give a shout out to one of the best waitresses of the year. Her name is Gabby (sp?). Blonde hair, works super hard (like 3 jobs hard) and will throw a comeback at you if you give her whimsical grief. Needless to say, I would've given her 80% of my paycheck for a tip if my date would've allowed me to bring in my wallet. We love you, you deserve a raise. read more

Excellent food and customer service. Favorite place to eat. Great people who do an awesome job

I called in to order hanged up twice they answer the phone rude, discriminated my sister while picking the food up, what has johnstown came too read more

We stopped in for breakfast! Everything was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Been there many times and will be going back again!!

You just can't beat 2.50 breakfast burritos made hot and ready! They have other great options and very friendly staff. Definitely going back. read more

Can't beat their huevos rancheros for breakfast! I always get the "hot" green chili because I like spicy food. Too bad they aren't open on sundays. read more

Their green Chile is still great! Their breakfast burritos are delicious. Otherwise, their bland food is not worth the slow and inattentive service. Not sure what's going on but it's not the friendly Santiago's of years ago. ‍ read more

What's sooo disappointing about this place is the food is incredible.. but the cashier that works in the morning just should not work there. She's TERRIBLE. She's a chubby teen and she's just so annoyed with life and makes you seriously not want to eat there. I have spoken to several others who said they always experience the same thing with her but fear complaining in this small town. She must be related to the owners is the only reason I can see her still there. Other than THAT... the food is amazing! read more

Amazing food great service I highly recommend if you want any good Mexican food there chips and salsa is immaculate it's very good quality for low price. You should definitely stop by for a bite to eat read more

See all

Santiago's has some of the best breakfast burritos around. Always good service. Haven't had anything else off the menu but I'm sure my family and I will try soon. read more

Same great food you come to expect from Santiagos. Some of their locations are very small and cannot take a lot of people. This location is pretty big which is very nice! Well worth going to! read more

We love this place! The food is outstanding and the staff is great. The Johnstown Santiago's is our favorite Santiago's to go to with the whole family. The cost is very low and always good! read more

Get the green chile! To be honest it didn't look like much on the outside, but we were extremely surprised after eating here the first time. Their burrito plates are so good. You have the choice between mild, hot, or half and half chile. I usually get the hot and it is delicious. One of the things that we enjoyed was the ability to call in an order and pick it up 10-15 minutes later. There are Santiago restaurants all over northern Colorado but this was the first one we tried and it's still our favorite. I have recommended this place to our friends in California, too. read more

I really love this little place! Breakfast burritos are great( we love the bacon ones) the Mexican hamburger is our favorite, lots of food for the money. And it tastes like heaven. Definitely worth a try. Never had a bad meal here. read more

This place is very good, I can't believe I hadn't tried it till now, chili rellano was excellent, waitress was very nice & food came out quickly. Also very affordable, enchilada plate was like $7.50 I think, I definitely liked the green chili better than the red sauce read more

Santiago's Viii Mexican Restaurant - Enchilada dinner - Mexican Near Me - Johnstown, Colorado

I prefer this place over any Santiagos! I live in Greeley bit traveling a little doesn't hurt when I want some good Mexican food. The place is small and cozy, perfect for some family time. I never had a bad experience there and the food is super delicious! read more

Our absolute favorite!!! The good is consistently excellent with the best green chili around. And the wait staff are always happy and friendly!!! It's always fun to visit here. read more

The women that work here are very rude!!! It's like they don't care if they get your business. The food was mediocre, Not near as good as the other Santiago's restaurants. read more

We went there for lunch. Having eaten at some of their other locations we knew the food. After waiting a hour and a half for our food only to leave. If it had been packed full of people I might have been more understanding but with only 5 tables, the staff standind around shooting the breeze and three tables comming in after us and getting their food long before us and leaving. Went down the street to Ajuuas and the food was very good but the service was awesome. read more

This is my favorite Santiago's location but last night it was simply bad in several areas. It was crowded when we came in around 6:20pm but then it cleared out. We waited an unreal amount of time for two burrito's, almost 30 minutes I would guess. Then when it finally arrived it would seem they were running low on toppings as mine had almost no cheese on it and the green chile tasted watery to us. The chicken inside had the texture of soup almost as it was soggy and seemed like it just came out of a blender or something. Wow what a bad experience in here on this night, don't think we will be rushing back any time soon again as a result. read more

We really like the food here. It's very reasonably priced too. Our family of 3 can eat here for about $15. If you come when it's busy, seating can be tricky. The service has always been great. This is our go to place when I don't feel like cooking. read more

Got breakfast burritos to go. Wow, they were good. Soft, yet strong tortilla; tasty, fresh egg 'n meat n' veggies inside; and a spiciness that left my lips and tongue tingling but didn't hurt at all for the consumption. read more

Had a very nice lunch of tamales with mild sauce and the usual rice and beans. The food was well prepared, served hot and came in a timely manner. I asked for mile from the choices of mild, hot or mixed. The sauce was very tasty, not just another application of routine salsa. This place is definitely good for a lunch and has many choices for dinner as well. read more

Nothing fancy, but absolutely the best green chili...EVER!!!! My favorite part-lunch for 2 for less than $10. I love this place!

Very good food, amazing prices. Loses one star because of the consistent wait for takeout. No matter how far in advance I call I still end up waiting 5-10 minutes when I arrive. Very little space to wait for food. Eating in the restaurant is the way to go. read more

When I want some good Mexican food I head to Santiago's. The Johnstown location has great people and super cooks. The place is homey, friendly, inexpensive and GOOD. One caution....ask your server how hot the green chile is that day. They will provide any depth of burn that you'd like from mild to hot. Half and Half is usually a good compromise. The deluxe burrito plate is awesome...smothered with green chile. I recommend it. read more

This place is unreal good. The food is incredible and the service is amazing. We go to a santiagos at least once a week. AMAZING

My favorite "cheap" burrito around. I've always gotten consistent quality here and the staff is always friendly. I live in Loveland but I go out of my way to go to the Johnstown location. read more

Cleanest Santiagos I've been in. Staff is the friendlest of all the locations too. Green Chilli is about average compared to other Santiagos. Always a healthy quantity of food for the price. read more

The food is usually alright. My biggest gripe is with the time is takes to get service. I have ordered take out multiple times from there and always seem to end up waiting for them to make the order, even though they tell me on the phone it will be ready at a specific time. read more

Our first time here and it was fabulous! Ordered the stuffed sopapillo with ground beef, smothered and topped. I can honestly say it's the best stuffed sopapilla I've eaten in my life! The dough of the sopapilla was perfect: light (not heavy) and with a slightly sweet taste and it was freshly made. The ground beef was freshly cooked and tasty. The green chili was wonderful. I ordered the "half-and-half" because I don't like my chili too hot or too mild. Service was fast. The restaurant was clean. We're going back! Note: this was the Johnstown, Colorado location. read more
