Santo is inspired by Chef Hosea Rosenberg’s home Taos, New Mexico and its Northern New Mexican cuisine. Northern New Mexico possesses a unique natural beauty unlike any other region. The sky is full of light, the mountains are majestic, and as a result artists have settled in the area for decades. The Taos Valley is a large, high desert valley, full of sagebrush and pinon trees, surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo mountains. The Rio Grande River cuts a 700-foot box canyon through the center, dividing the valley in half. The views cannot be overstated…
Warm, rustic-modern eatery serving stacked enchiladas, blue-corn tostadas & other New Mexican eats.

Enjoyed my first sit down experience at Santo. I’ve had the breakfast burritos and loved those. Though I wish I could get them after 11.
Service was well paced and informative.
Loved loved loved the blue corn chips and smoked pineapple salsa.
Everything we had was well priced not too much food as we had desert as well.
Will definitely be back.

A good friend of mine has been bugging me relentlessly to try this place out, and this afternoon the time finally arrived.
I really like their layout, which is perfect for any occasion, and the decor, and ambience.
Plenty of gluten-free options for folks like myself. I had the Lamb Tacos, with beans and rice. They were the best lamb tacos that I have ever had. WOW!
The food was of high quality, fresh, plentiful, and very tasty. Wonderful service from Alexis, and James. They made me feel like a very welcomed guest.
Super-impressed, and I’ll be taking my family there next week

One of the better breakfast burritos I’ve had. I think it beats out Bonfire and that’s a heavy statement to make. Got the special for the AM which was a Pork Adovada w/ eggs beans and tots. So damn delicious! Large portion, some of everything in each bite, and it all got eaten in one sitting.Full, happy belly for hours.the hot salsa was amazing, too. Will hit this place up anytime we’re in Boulder in the morning.

Really good food. Absolutely love the smothered quesadilla. Drinks are good too
Fun atmosphere and is usually crowded during the week, which is always a good sign.

A friend and I had a delightful dinner during Happy Hour at Santo. Amos, our server was super friendly and helpful, guiding us on menu options. We had chips with 3 delicious salsas, media lunas, seared fish tacos and yummy house margaritas. Amos gave us fair warning that the fish tacos were very spicy. We thought we could handle the heat but had to get a side of sour cream. They were very spicy yet flavorful, delicious with added sour cream. Also worthy of note, it’s out of the melee of downtown Boulder in a strip mall with free parking. We will definitely be back.

Santo is an above-average Mexican spot with some excellent dishes including the Queso, Birria tacos, and fish tacos. Stick to those items for an excellent experience. Don’t expect very formal service but the ambience is very welcoming and has an authentic feel. Overall, a recommended spot that is also on the Michelin Guide.

When I heard that Santo was a New Mexican restaurant owned by New Mexican owners, I knew I had to go. The decoration is inspired by New Mexican culture. It’s very busy even on weeknights. I’ve been three times and all dishes haven’t disappointed me yet. Drinks are alright, not exceptional. The portion is very filling with all the carbs, but everything is so tasty. While their chili is spicy to an extent, it’s nowhere as spicy as what I’ve had in New Mexico, so it’s tolerable and I highly recommend people to try their dishes.

Every dish was delicious. Our server, Olivia, was a great help not only with sorting our questions, but also making us aware of things that constantly change (like the ice cream flavors.) We spent more, I think, than you really need to. We each had two cocktails, we ordered two appetizers, each big enough to share, and then we each had dinner platters. We ate too much! Lol! Every bite was worth it! Update: we took home the leftover sweet potato enchiladas (more than half of the dish,) and the leftover Montadas (same) and had them for dinner the next night. I swear they were even better than the first time! Over order! Haha.

Four of us stopped here for an early dinner on a pretty slow night. We’d eaten the breakfast burritos before, which are some of the best around, and wanted to finally try the dinner menu after hearing so much about it. We found the food to be fresh and of high quality, but some items were a little bland for our taste. We did really like the fries and the pozole. The salsas were hit or miss. The service was fairly brusque and impersonal. We will try again but order different menu items.
