Their food smells, looks and tastes wonderful!! I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast and/or lunch.
Best breakfast burrito in the world! Great family, great food! Been eating here for years. Can't find a better breakfast burrito I promise! Get it smothered extra green!!!
Ohmigosh!! THE MOST AWESOME tacos anywhere!
Great food and great service! I will be back really soon!!!!
Great Food, Great service-inexpensive!. If you are looking for great NM Mexican food, this is your place. 6 of us eat here every Tuesday, usually all get smothered burritos and kindness and great service. If you don't like the politics., (find another place i.e. flying star)
The owner speaks of politics when asked his views. He has
Run this place for over 30 years and his beliefs have not closed him! His food is great for the money and the place is always clean and inviting. The owners are welcoming people and will go out of their way to make sure you have enough coffee, water, ice tea etc. Pass on SaNDiegos and come here. You will become a regular! Nothing on the menu ( individually) is over $8.00! Can't beat that! Not enough taste? Add salt or tell them, they are very accomadating and will make it right. ENJOY!!

Love the Burritos and Green Chile. When a restaurant review is as negative as the one done by Crash Mentira, about Santiago’s restaurant, on July 30, 2012, it is time to set the record straight. His strong political bias and unsubstantiated comments provided a very inaccurate appraisal of a restaurant, its food and its owner. As a regular customer of Santiago’s, I have serious concerns about Crash’s ability to serve as a credible restaurant reviewer. Let me start by saying Santiago’s is a small, family run business that has been around for about 30 years. It’s goal has always been to provide each customer with the best meal possible at a very reasonable price. Crash was right about the prices being very cheap but wrong about “you get what you paid for”. At Santiago’s, you always get a large portion of well prepared food for a small amount of money. As for the food being bland, Crash better see a doctor soon. He has lost his ability to taste seasoned or spicy foods. Over 85% of Santiago’s customers think the food is well prepared, properly seasoned and very tasty to eat. As far as the food’s authenticity, you have to go back to the owner’s childhood. A large number of the menu items served at Santiago’s are authentic recipes from his mother’s kitchen. He loved eating her specially prepared meals and enjoys bringing them to his restaurant customers. Yes, the owner has strong political views. But, he also exhibits that same energetic passion in everything he does. From morning ‘til night, six days a week, the owner and his family work hard at preparing and serving tasty meals to each customer that patronizes their restaurant. Whenever the owner has a free moment, he loves to get away from the grill and chat with the customers about, not only politics, but, also, social issues or a wide variety of other topics. So, if you want to spend your money wisely, surround yourself with friendly people and enjoy eating well prepared food, visit Santiago’s. Oh. Also, take advantage of their convenient carry-out and catering services. I’ve used both of them and they are wonderful features of the restaurant. Sorry Crash. Before writing future reviews about a restaurant and its food, try leaving your political bias aside and try adding credibility and accuracy to your personal opinions by providing factual information instead of vindictive assumptions.

Best Breakfast. On Saturdays, we like to eat breakfast there -- hubby gets extra sausage and I get extra hash browns with the Huevos Racheros. Wego home stuffed so full we end up havingto go right back to sleep in! Food is great, plentiful, and we end up taking the taco sauce home to cook with. It's better than the little packets of sauce you get with fast food tacos, so we "just say no" to the fast food sauce and douse them with Jimmy's special, which makes ordinary food taste good.
Food is great service is better pleasant surprise
Can't beat the veiw, and great food and service.
The service is fast and friendly but the young blond pritty girl is pushy and tell's you what you can or can not have..? But the food over see's that. Grate food we will be back.
Awesome Burritos!. This restaurant has an amazing take on their food: Serve it hot, and slather delicious chile sauce all over it! Also, the service is fast and friendly! So, if you don't like piping hot, tasty food... stay away from this place! In the mean time I will eat the food that you do not. I have yet to try any of their regular entrees just because the smothered burritos are so darn good! Definitely a regular stop for me!
Best Green Chile sauce around!. Santiago's is a wonderful place to grab huevos or a burrito in the morning. The green sauce is my favorite in town; it's hot, tangy and just the right consistency.
food is amazing! Got the Jimmy-changa and hubby had the frito pie! Delicious! My little one (who is 3) had the taquitos and when asked she said it’s good mama!
What an awesome restaurant. I stopped in while passing through town and grabbed lunch right before they closed for the day. My meal was quick, hot and there was enough to feed a family. I got to chat with the owners (family run) who couldn't have been more friendly and kind. I'll recommend, and go out of my way, to stop here next time I'm back in town. Dreaming of those tacos and tamales!
I like the food here it's always really good everything is fresh and they always pack it up really nice we order and then pick up. We Have dinned in a few times but i don't care for the atmosphere. But i do love the food.
Sopa burger was absolutely delicious!
Great food, excellent service!
Came here to find a good breakfast burrito. It is going up against the current king Golden Pride.
Walked in to out in a to go order.
What's good:
Legit New Mexican feel
Good prices
Straight forward cooking
Feel authentic to their culture not fabricated
Clean but not too clean
Hard working family
Burritos flavors are great
Did it beat Golden Pride?
The flavors of the burrito are great but tortilla is not as good and ratio to filling is not as perfect. I feel like this burrito would be better smothered. Handheld burrito king still remains as golden pride. But would definitely come back for this one as a smothered one.
Looooove this place. The food is great, service is awesome, and the family that owns and operates it are awesome! Amazing people and food made with love! The burger… get yourself a green chile cheeseburger and enjoy!
Thanks again you guys, can’t wait to visit again!
I've been here many times, but I always get the same thing: green chile cheeseburger and chile cheese fries.
The burgers are always juicy and seasoned well. The chiles are flavorful and all the other toppings pair well and are fresh.
The fries are always crispy and delicious and the chile sauce is great, but I do wish it was a little spicier. Still, not enough for me to give fewer stars.
All around, the service is great and the burgers are tasty. Will always come back!
Amazing food. Haven’t tried something I don’t enjoy. The Jim Sauce is the best hot sauce ever! Cute little ABQ hidden gem
Always delicious... Recommended!
The question is... Red or Green? 🔥
I admit that from the outside you don't expect much but inside it is full of friendly, nice people and excellent food. I ordered these smothered burrito with potato and chicken and it was indeed smothered and huge. You're not going to beat the prices and it doesn't suffer one bit because the prices are reasonable.
