Santiagos, Loveland CO

Aug 25, 2011
My dad and I stopped by Santiago's for lunch. It was about 12:30 when we got there and they said it would be about 5 min. wait which was fine with us. After not too long we were taken to a table and we ordered chips and salsa (which you have to pay for, it was not included).  I was not bothered by this because places with free chips and salsa add the cost in somewhere, by charging more for your entrĂ©e or drinks, and it was only $1.50 anyways. The chips and salsa were fairly basic chips and salsa I liked the salsa, It was more of a thick liquid than a chunky salsa.
I had a Deluxe beef and bean burrito with half-and-half green chili on top and it also had cheese lettuce tomato on top.  The half and half green chili was kind hot but it tasted really good and I really enjoyed it, it was green chili just like I would think of green chili.  The burrito itself was a plain burrito nothing fancy, just a tortilla with beef and beans inside, but it was good.
 
My dad had the three beef enchiladas with the enchilada sauce he thought they were very good and really enjoyed them.  
This was second time my dad and I have been to this location, the previous time my dad had the cheese enchiladas and I had the chicken burrtio, which were both very good as well.  The pictures are actually of these items, but are very similar.
I really enjoyed my meal and the price was very good, we had two lunches chips and salsa and two Pepsis all for around $18 including a tip.

Tres Margaritas Ft Collins CO

My mom and I were planning on going out for lunch and we thought Mexican food would be good and I am always up for trying to new Mexican place.  We were seated quickly and chips and salsa were brought quickly as well, they were okay nothing exciting.   After we were seated it seemed to take the waiter forever to take our orders.  When he finally came back I ordered the lunch combo with a beef taco and a beef enchilada. My mom ordered the chili relleno after we ordered, the food came almost too quick.  My mom liked her relleno, but wasn't too excited about it.  She especially liked that it was crispy.
My enchilada was not very good at all in the taco was sitting in the enchilada sauce making my crispy taco very soggy and it basically tasted like the enchilada. I did not like the beans and Rice either

Choice City Butcher

I met a friend at Choice city butcher.  He said that he heard that this place was good, and I saw a ton of very good reviews online.
 The door was a little difficult to get in and difficult to move around inside with my wheelchair.  I was able to get in which was good, since I really enjoyed my sandwich. When you get inside you order at one counter and pay at another
  We weren’t sure what to get so we checked out the menu.  There were many different sandwich choices for most of the sandwiches you can get a half version with a side or drink, or the whole with a side and drink.  I wasn’t really too hungry so I got the half Colorado Rueben sandwich which had buffalo instead of corned beef.  If I didn’t know ahead of time I don’t think I would have known it was buffalo.  It was very good, one of the best I have had.  The 1000 island tasted like they actually made it, to go with good swiss cheese and sauerkraut and the very good buffalo made an excellent sandwich.  It was a little greasy, but it is a Reuben.  My friend had the whole Italian sandwich with coleslaw, he enjoyed it and had plenty left to take home. 
After ordering it, it seemed like it took forever to get our food and it was a little weird how the food didn’t come out in order it was ordered.  A lady in front of us got her food well after we did.  The price was also a little high.
 The sandwich was excellent, but the service was slow and weird, and it was a little pricy
