Reviews For Santiago's Taco Shop

Staff were very friendly and efficient. I’d eat here again but I would like to see the food seasoned a bit more. I felt like the carnitas tacos were a little bland and the salsa lacked spice. That being said it was still a very pleasant experience.

Great food!! Got the Family Meal. Came with everything you need to feed 6-8 people just as they say. Have tried all the meats and they are all great. I don't think anyone will be disappointed. They have 4 meat options...chicken, carnitas, burria and carne asada. 3 bean options...pinto, blackbeans and refried. Their salsa ranges from mild to hot. Their tortillas whether corn or flour can be fried or soft. And they have all the extras you may want for whatever you want on your taco or burrito. It's a great place for great food!

What a generous business! They contributed to our local Pregnancy Center to help women to choose life. And their fish tacos are the best on the mountain.

One of the few Mexican places I really like up here, the yogurt smoothies are a must have for a sweet drink. Breakfast burritos are super good and they are quick to come out, came within 10-15 mins with our drinks. Cozy atmosphere and such cute interior

It was so delicious!!! I had the vegetarian taco plate with the vegan rice. The whole plate is vegan tho. Very authentic, tastes like home!! The restaurant is pretty small but has so much charm and a lovely view of the mountain. Nice staff! Will be making the trip to eat here more often.
