8 Best Mexican Restaurants in Fort Morgan

“Took a two week summer road trip vacation and this restaurant is the one place we can’t stop talking about. Talk about an out of this world incredible place to eat. So here’s how it happened…we were taking a trip to Colorado and my mom and I had seen Fort Morgan get renovated on that HGTV show so we wanted to come and support. To be honest, it had been a long day and we were all kind of hangry but we made the hour long drive to check things out. We didn’t know where to eat so I started checking reviews and The Rooster had great ones so we said let’s go. As we drove into town I felt like we were driving out of the down town area and passing all of the food places around Main Street and I wondered if we had messed up with our choice. But a few minutes later we pulled up at this place and while it wasn’t much to look at, we were excited to give it a chance. Ever have those moments where something happens and you are like, wow … this is about to be incredible … well I had that moment when we walked in and this lade fired up this huge ancient metal tortilla maker machine. I was like, okay, this might be good. Then the girl behind the counter showed me about 70 different options between meats, toppings, salsas and more. I was overwhelmed so I said how about a few tacos and some rice and beans. Here’s when I had another one of those, this is about to hit different, kind of moments. The girl grabbed my corn tortilla and dipped it in the juices where the birria meat was being stored and then threw it on a griddle to cook for a few minutes. Let’s just say, your girl was drooling at this point. She gave me two HUGE tacos and about 2 cups of beans and rice. It was wild. I went to the outside covered area to grab a table (we were the only people dining in, although many people came in and ordered to-go) and when my boyfriend came in the room with his plate I couldn’t believe it. His burrito was like the size of his head. Like a bag of flour. Like it barely fit on the large dixie plate they served it on. And the food tasted incredible. They really put their heart and soul into this food. Best of all…it was so cheap. Too cheap. I felt bad and left a bigger than normal tip because they are under-charging. Y’all better get out to Fort Morgan and try these under $10 burritos before they get smart and double their prices. Best food of the entire trip. Hands down. 10 out of 10 stars. To the moon and back. This place is the real deal.“

“I was just passing through town and stopped here by chance — what a surprise! I live in a big U.S. city and thought I had tried it all, but I’ve never had Mexican food this good. Most places compromise on flavor, but here the food was bold, authentic, and truly delicious.

I come from one of the spiciest provinces in China, and I had almost forgotten what real spicy food feels like in the U.S. Today, this restaurant brought that feeling back! The portions were generous, and every bite was satisfying. Highly recommend! 🌶️✨“

“This Santiago's by far is better than any of the other one's throughout the whole state! They actually have pork meat in their chili...all the other Santiago's have stopped doing this! Greeley and loveland Santiago's are horrible they strayed from original recipe and servings are miniscule. Great service, great food excellent job!“

“Have eaten here many times, and have never been disappointed. They have very good burrito bowls, and at a good price point.“

“This was very beautiful inside but the food and service were horrible. They add a 20% tip gratuity for themselves so their attitude is horrible when they serve you. The Portuguese Shrimp came with 6 medium size shrimp. Over cooked. The Beans were sour. When we brought this to their attention they said we were just mad. . To be honest we were not mad but we did want to bring it to their attention in case the sour beans were in accident. After reading other reviews seems like they just don't care. The good reviews must be the food covered with chili and cheese to hide the rotten food they serve you. So sad they take advantage of hard working folks who save money to eat out with the family.“

“We were in town and chose this place to try for lunch. I loved the retro looking booths. We ordered crispy relleno meals. We waited a very long time for the food. It was tasty enough but the rellenos were small.“

“We had business in Fort Morgan and spent 4 of our 6 hours here. It was fabulous and priced right. Giant house margaritas on the rocks with Tajin rims (we asked for); really good and cheap. Breakfast and combo plates under $10. Seevice excellent! Get Churros for dessert or with coffee! I give it 5 hearts! 💕“

“My daughter was walking our fur baby buddy and a neighbor did not have their dog on a chain or in a fence and their dog attacked ours. K was In a panicked state when she got home and Buddy was bleeding badly from his nose. He is now limping from a bite on his leg. I am worried he could get a disease if the dog that bit him doesn’t have shots, could he get sick? He is up to date on all his shots. The responding officer was very calm and even a little funny with some of the stuff he said to lighten the tension in the room. Teenagers can be hard to talk to sometimes when they are upset and she was very shaken up! He did an amazing job. He waited for her to calm down some so she could explain what happened. This officer was both Kind and professional allowing her time to respond without pushing her to answer questions. Sometimes frightening things happen in life, it’s nice to know we live in an area that is protected by the best officers. Thank You! #police #goodcop #dogfight“
