    Dont Eat @ Santiagos Restaurants

    Not sure if anyone eats here but this joint is down the street from me. So I figured I would post an email that I got this morning just as a heads up.

    Its only in reference to one of the restaurants but if one restaurant handles thier business this way, who knows how the rest of the chain does.

    Date: Wednesday, September 17, 2008, 3:29 PM
    Hi my name is Breyanna, I was at the Santiago's at 180 W. 84thAve. last night (9/16/0. I ordered a chicken burrito with Green Chile and when it came, it looked awful and so I was picking at it and as I was moving the food around I saw what looked like a beetle, or something I looked closer and it had legs and a sack attached to it, it had ayellow belly... I don't know anything about bugs or parasites but this was disgusting. I called the waiter over and showed him, he took my plate and just walked away... said nothing... my husband also had stopped eating and was completely grossed out. We sat there for a good 10 mins and no one came over, the waiter ignored us. All I wanted to do was leave but we weren't sure if we should pay or not. We finally went to the counter, and asked what we owed. They weren't even going to comp my meal at first, but finally did, and then made my husband pay for his which he didn't eat. I told her I was calling the health department, to which she replied 'go ahead'. They were so rude and started talking in Spanish and rolling their eyes and I could tell whatever they were saying was negative. I can't believe that the staff didn't even apologize to us. I have called and left messages for the Owner Gustavo Cisneros and for the manager because I want a refund for the disgusting meal I didn't eat. I have yet to hear from anyone. I am also leaving this review on every website available including Westword.com, Yelp.com and citysearch.com, which are linked directly to the www.eatatsantiagos.com<http://www.eatatsantiagos.com/> website. I have posted personal bulletin's on Myspace.com and Facebook.com. I am also telling all my friends and family, co-workers and even the fed-ex delivery guy. In addition to that I am copying every person on my e-mail contact list, as to inform and warn others. Which to that end they are all welcome to forward on to their family and friends. I also have a call into the health department and have obtained a the last inspection report which states and I quote 'Food is not insound condition, is spoiled, filthy, contaminated or adulterated and is not safe for human consumption' Among other things. They also note they found a power tool stored in a box of onions and that no soap or drying towel provided for employees to wash their hands. So, my request is that someone contact me immediately and refund me the $13.24 that you made us pay. I would also request that you take a look at the requirements of the Department of Health in Adams County,Colorado, USA. and comply. My contact information: Breyanna King 303-908-5763 Thank You, Breyanna

    That's tight. She found a water buffalo in her meal, and then waited 10 minutes before approaching the counter to ask WHAT SHE OWED??

    mehhh... they don't eat much.

    On a related note, I've heard horror stories about Sushi Den, but people love that place?!

    I agree w/ Barn... let's see the facts
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Through the power of google, I give you their inspection reports:

    http://tri.co.gegov.com/tricounty/fa...&insptype=Food

    Not what I would call the most compliant restaurant. She overstates some stuff, though, based on an incorrect interpretation of the forms. She cites the violation examples in the code in some places, not the violation itself. Did she find a bug? Who knows. The real question is why didn't she eat it if she did? It probably is packed with protein.

    Re: Dont Eat @ Santiagos Restaurants

    It wasn't Santiago's, but still gross.

    I was eating a breakfast and when I got half way done with my hash browns, I saw I big, long, black hair under all the food. I showed the waitress and she asked if I could eat around it because she would have to pay for the meal if I sent it back. We all laughed and I sent the mother fucker back. She then asked what I wanted instead. I said nothing and sat there and starved. Not that it's any better, but I hit Burger King on the way home. I have never understood the mentality of people!!! Well, other than the fact that's it's all about them!!

    but im a big enough dick, to talk to a manager, and the manger always has someone else's number. I would've caused a big enough fuss that i would've had him call me right there.

    I get breakfast at the one in Castle Rock on a regular basis and have always been satisfied. A couple lunches have been great too.

    The story sounds like exaggeration to me. If it was really that bad I never would have waited 10 minutes
