Zantigo - Mexican restaurant in Fridley - 255 57th Ave NE, USA

My food had little to no meat all lettuce and cheese didn’t inform us that our taco bowl wasn’t getting no taco shell bowl food was dry meat taste off

Food looked like I shouldn't be eating it. The chicken was dry and looked like it had been sitting out all day and or was freezer burned. I will not be returning. Plus the burrito was so small I needed to go somewhere else for a snack. It looked like a taco in a burrito with mostly lettuce and cheese. I could have done better, for cheaper.

** Updated Next morning. I did receive a phone call from their corporate offices explaining that their fryer had broken and they were waiting on the new one being delivered. They are still getting to know their online ordering system. I understand that "life" happens, I just wished it could have been communicated better. My refund was sent through this morning. I placed an order through their website for 14 chilitos, 1 chips and salsa, and 3 chocolate churros and paid online through their website for pickup. When the order was picked up, we were informed that they had no chips in stock. They couldn't refund the card and gave my husband cash. When we got home, we realized the churros were also missing. I tried calling the store, and nobody answered. It went to voicemail. My husband drove back up to the location just to have them tell him that they couldn't give a refund to him, and they were also out of stock for churros. (Why we weren't notified immediately they weren't in stock like the chips and salsa is beyond me.) The employee said he shouldn't have given the $4 in cash back to him previously. That he had to call the corporate number. What business takes money for a product they don't have in stock and then doesn't give their employees a way to refund it?! I have left a message at the "corporate" number I was given. The service doesn't specify that it is Zantigo, just asks me to choose a mailbox for whom I am calling for. (Which nobody provided a name for, I just guessed and pressed 2 the first person available option.) I would double check your bags on pickup orders through their website as apparently you can add and pay for items they don't have in stock and then be left sitting without a way to get them refunded back to you.

I like the fact their Nachos Deluxe has some black beans. There's an extra charge to get some seasoned ground beef added but that's what turns it into a delicious meal for me! I don't recall what the Missus ordered but she said it was better than whatever she got at Taco Bell last week... her words.

The Green Chili Burrito was good, but it was cold. Chips and Cheese are in a cardboard container so the cheese all sticks to it.

I will never waste my time again at Santiago's.... Paid 20.00 dollars for pretty much salad.... Even paid extra for ex- sour cream and guacamole in the beer taco bowl... Are the employees here serious.??? Ordered a beef taco salad bowl,, got a salad put in a tortilla that was in the shape of a bowl.... May a teaspoon of taco meat in it.... WoW.... The customer service was nill to none... No happy greeting,, or greeting for that matter.... Then as I was eating my taco bowl SALAD,,, the employees started yelling and arguing amongst themselves.... Never again will I waste my time or money in this establishment....

One word... Chilitos! This is why you come here. They make the original chilitos from years gone by of the Zapatos and Zantigos. Taco Bell acquired Zantigos but screwed up by not keeping the name and the Chilitos recipe. Service was fine - counter service. Our order taker was very courteous and patient. Perfect experience to go with the chilitos! Thanks! Atmosphere.. Just a basic small chain like atmosphere. Nothing special. A little dated feeling inside but who cares.. They have Chilitos! Support this place so they keep expanding. Everyone needs chilitos! You need to go here. Did I mention the chilitos? They are the bomb!

overpriced- seems to be decent quality ingredients, but very, very little meat on anything they sell. mostly filler lettuce. and they got rid of tigo fries (like potato ole's) so i will probably rarely go back
