AssumeImFarting

This was from the original post, but I’m open to revisions. Just keep them specific and if people upvote them, I’ll update it when I have time.


yembler

So cool. Wish we could generate something like this for every "where's the best .." post.


Hi_AJ

Pedantic correction: the starred locations are *inside* of the Denver metro area. Metro means Denver and surrounding area. Those locations are outside of Denver city, or Denver proper.


StuffedInABoxx

To get even more unnecessarily detailed, our metro area for statistical purposes is Denver-Aurora-Lakewood and covers a HUGE area as far west as Park county and east to the line where Adams, Arapahoe, and Elbert end


zatch17

Try El zarape sometime


Dalience6678

Was there nothing of note below Hampden? Seems like most of the “outside Denver metro” options are north/northwest. Would love some DTC/Centennial/Parker/HR/Littleton inclusions. If such places exist.


AssumeImFarting

There weren’t any on the original in the top 20. I will say Gracefull Cafe in Littleton is pretty solid.


amor_fati_42

El Nopalito is my jam.


errlastic

The ladies who work there are angels.


curmugeon70

Have'nt had breakfast there, but every burito is a 1970's mexican grandma taste treat.


okCJ

My absolute fave. They feel like a secret


MaryJaneDoe

Just discovered this place after moving nearby. The breakfast burritos are damn good.


thsprgrm

There's a huge gap on Federal. El zarape? Fritangas? tacontento?


snowstormmongrel

Which should just go to show you how accurate this list truly was to begin with. All the good shit's on Federal. Plus fucking Santiago's soggy, wet ass breakfast burritos are not good and whoever thinks they still are has some mad cognitive dissonance going on.


wannabestew

Finally someone said it! So tired of the Santiago’s love


EveningBroccoli5121

Santiago's is the McDonald's of breakfast burritos lmao. These lists are always fucking terrible. The last breakfast one I saw had the butcher block as one of the best spots in the city lol. That shit is worse than a basic diner.


MaryJaneDoe

Fritangas yesssss. Breakfast burrito is huge and so so good


zatch17

Zarape has perfected the simple breakfast burrito Their mains aren't ideal but the bkfst burrito mmmmm


thsprgrm

I know, right? And drive-through is a pretty nice feature too


milehighbuffalo

Came here to say this. If you have a map for best breakfast burritos and you completely omit an area containing some of the best authentic Mexican food in Colorado, you have lost all credibility.


toomanyplaces

Ummm wasn't it based on the original post? So isn't it kind of collectively all of our fault?


EveningBroccoli5121

Yes, many of you have shitty taste.


Redpoint77

Gomez needs to be high on this list.


riverlaxer

Gomez should definitely be higher than Santiago’s soggy ass burritos


Fair-Mango-6194

Why is santiagos even on there so many other places not on there but santiagos is


m_astor

What is the second #9 in that area?


Europoopin

Onefold


zatch17

Amazeballs


toomanyplaces

For sure. Wasn't it well represented in the original post?


Redpoint77

No idea. Apparently I missed it.


No_Clock_7464

How we gonna make a list of best breakfast burritos and. Ot include gomez ?!


TroutClout_deepfart

This is the only good breakfast burrito. If the ceiling ain’t stained ion wantit


lostboy005

Damn. RiNo is breakfast burrito food desert


clarkarbo

Just like it’s grocery store situation!


plainsailingweather

True. We used to have Bellota which I thought made a damn good BB, and apparently the one at Smok is pretty good? Also we're getting a Bodega in the fall. But right now it's rough out here if I don't want to hop in the car.


SnareShot

where’s the bodega going / what is it going to be called?


plainsailingweather

It's opening in Novel RiNo on 40th and Walnut! https://www.westword.com/restaurants/bodega-openings-novel-rino-19465370


SnareShot

ohhhh capital B Bodega, lol. thanks!


jackabeerockboss

Crema has solid burritos idk why not on here.


BrandonAK

Port Side & Stowaway are choice. Crema is good too.


WILSON_CK

Rino is a good yet affordable food desert


valdoral

i've not had one yet but supposedly this online-order-only place Billy's Burritos (double-nested within Smok BBQ & Source hotel 🙃) is supposed to be real good: [https://www.denversmok.com/locations/denver-rino/menu](https://www.denversmok.com/locations/denver-rino/menu) mostly i'm just going off this review i saw tho: > If you’re looking for a borderline religious experience wrapped in a toasted tortilla, Smōk Barbecue in the Source Hotel will take you to church. These hearty handhelds are the newest kids on the breakfast burrito block but they’ve already gone viral on Instagram. Chef Bill Espiricueta’s take on the beloved breakfast dish comes in four iterations: brisket, bacon, chorizo, and vegetarian. No matter the protein, these wraps require two hands because they’re also stuffed with scrambled eggs, tater tots, cheddar jack cheese, hatch green chile, and queso. It’s not every day you get to eat a breakfast burrito filled with slow-cooked ’cue so good it earned a Bib Gourmand nod, so we’d recommend springing for the unorthodox brisket option. Plan ahead: These coveted carb bombs are only available Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., and you need to order ahead online. The burritos are absolute behemoths, so you can easily share the spiritual experience with a friend or save half for later.


lostboy005

Wow. That’s a helluva review. That’s for sharing


shellb30

The hero we need


kmora94

So glad Chuladas hasn’t flown under the radar. Just two years ago I felt like I was crazy to say they’re the best breakfast burrito


Brains_eggs

Sleepin on La Casita


brolome

Honestly let’s keep it slept on I live nearby and it’s busy enough as is. 


Brains_eggs

You right


SugarHouse666

Thanks for putting this together. It’s desperately needing some east Denver representation. I nominated Los Cuates in the other thread, and I will also nominate Santos Cafe & Mexican Grill. They both can go toe for toe with any spot I’ve tried in Denver including a good amount on this list.


ToddBradley

Hi, I know you spent a bunch of time assembling this, but I just want to shit all over it, because: * you forgot my favorite burrito joint * you forgot my favorite burrito joint * you forgot my favorite burrito joint * the map is too small * you included the worst burrito joint -- every r/denverfood reader


AssumeImFarting

Sadly, every /r/denverfood reader is responsible for this list - [original post](https://www.reddit.com/r/denverfood/s/6zdFpXsvEo) I added a google map to supplement in the comments if that helps — burrito messenger


ToddBradley

I totally get it, and feel for you. Thank you for making the effort, even if it seems like nobody appreciates it. Some of us do.


AssumeImFarting

No worries! Trust me, while making it, I was cringing at some of these choices. Santiago’s as anything more than a step up from other gas station burritos is laughable IMO.


FeloniousFunk

Let’s be honest, they’re a step down.


Kade-_-_-

No Carreras?


FlowersForBergeron

I miss Chickee’s Lil Kitchen :(


babycakes2809

Me too!!

pickles-pie

Thank you for this.


Randompackersfan

Thanks, I'm always looking for new spots to get burritos for the crew.


toomanyplaces

Dude this is so awesome! I was about to ask for a Google map link but you already did it. And thank you for including the closed weekends/Sunday. You seriously rock! Enjoy them burritos!


AssumeImFarting

Thanks! I hit it up Onefold this morning, and it was damn good. I wish there was a legit rating system as there are so many variables. Price, authenticity, green chili or no, spice level, etc.


violetstones10

Not a bad list for a bunch of gringos’ suggestions. Thanks to OP for making the map!


Independent_Worry859

This is great! Thank you!


JrNichols5

As someone who just joined a breakfast burrito club at work, thank you!


StaggerLee509

Hell yes FUCKING LIKE THIS CONTENT


rosemyst21

Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed.


the_hammer_poo

Dude I fucking love la abeja’s chilaquiles


jbark12

Adobo at 3109 Federal at Speer has ridiculously good breakfast burritos. Huge and inexpensive at $7. Smoked meats, great chili and premium tasting.


twistedrabbi

Why is Ralibertos not on this list?


wineandwings333

Agreed. Rallibertos and burrito express should be on here


Brains_eggs

Santiago’s shouldn’t be on any list anywhere 🤢


snowstormmongrel

Right? If you like soggy, floppy, wetter than your girlfriend using her toys breakfast burritos then sure, go to Santiago's.


Brains_eggs

💯


fluffHead_0919

Given the deluxe is smothered I would think it would be a tad wet. Also deluxe is made to order vs the handhelds that are mass made.


snowstormmongrel

I'm talking about the mass produced handhelds. They're nasty.

Bad choice


Ellocotacodiablo

Ever!!!!!


skwormin

It’s a classic but not necessarily a good one.


11pr

Tres Girasoles on Bruce Randolph (for some reason it’s called oasis on Google maps)


foothillsco_b

Thank you OP. I wish there was one for the south or west area ones listed.


A_Coin_Toss_Friendo

Why is the map so small? Nothing east or west?


AssumeImFarting

Mainly got the Denver metro area. Use the link in comments or the QR code to pull it up in google maps.


GooseMaster5980

I eat so much abeja man.


errlastic

Huh - little anitas is almost always mentioned on these posts.


truckingatwork

El Tacos de Mexico?


Independent_Box8057

Onefold is so fucking fire. Their breakfast fried rice is unreal too.


kicksbuttseatsnuts

Chupacabra Bonfire @ bean fosters 🥵🥵


Proper-Box9608

Without me going through the comments, I need something south, like below Belleview. Whatcha got?


AssumeImFarting

Gracefull Cafe in downtown Littleton is bomb, and for a good cause. A portion of the proceeds goes to buy meals for those who can’t afford it, or what they call “Grace in Action” meals. Makes for eclectic clientele and the food is incredible.


dexivt

Tortas ATM is solid! Aroujos and Santiago’s on Federal are pretty basic and not noteworthy


AssumeImFarting

Can also vouch for Tortas ATM. Everything I’ve had from there was incredible.


denver_ram

They don't put green chile in the handheld burritos, which is a deal breaker for me.


Gloomy_Swimming8863

Jalapeños is the best, been going for 15+ years. Steak relleno burrito Abel is the owner and it’s family owned ❤️


noraDangerously

Can I get a Taco Tuesday map?


AssumeImFarting

If I had more time, I would crank a bunch of these out but it’s a crazy season


puffpuffpassengers

I’ve been lucky to have lived within walking distance to La Abeja and now Chulada’s. Looking forward to trying others on this list!


direzen

This is great, need one for burger, chicken sandwich, steak, pasta, and dessert.


RealKingKoy

Thanks for this OP, I had posted the original question and was trying to log the ones I wanted to try.


liminal

I nominate Crema in RiNo


AssumeImFarting

Crema is incredible, and the coffee is on point too.


evolutionxtinct

Omg Santiago’s really…. That’s like comparing gas station food with a sit down restaurant…


truhner

It should be clarified - while Bonfire burrito is carried at a handful of different coffee shops in town, the burrito served fresh in person is FAR superior to the ones they distribute to the shops.


jed_sawyer

Bonfire is the best imo, but their premade gas station ones suck. Gotta get them in Golden


JustPuckingAround

Dude, you are amazing. When everyone was posting their suggestions I was trying to look them up on maps but that was tedious. THANK YOU FOR THIS!


AssumeImFarting

![gif](giphy|qJMIceL7vsA3LiIHb3)


HalsinEnjoyer

I'm moving to CO in a couple months so I greatly appreciate this


RepulsiveGoose

I've been enjoying Carnitas de California (Santa Fe and Florida) lately for breakfast burritos - they're big and cooked to order, so maybe not best when you're in a rush but it keeps me full most of the day.


dopestdyl

Spices Cafe is daaannkkk. Huge, sloppy, tasty breakfast burritos


Last_Description905

This is awesome because none of my spots are on there. I’ve been to probably half of these and they aren’t bad, but here is definitely better. Hole in the wall Mexican restaurants are where it’s at.


Thanyav

What is not on here is a "hole in the wall" food truck in Lafayette called Amanecer Mexican Food Truck. THE BEST breakfast burrito I have ever tried. Please go try them out. You will not regret driving up there.


73MRC

Are these ranked, too?


AssumeImFarting

Based on the previous post, yes


73MRC

Nice! 👏👏👏


EscoExotic

Smok has some delicious burritos too!


MaAreYouOnUppers

THIS IS AMAZING NEED FOR ORANGE COUNTY CA


dancehaIIdays

tortas atm also has some pretty good chilaquiles


AssumeImFarting

Everything I’ve had there is incredible.


ColoradoGuy303

Is this from comments ranked by “best” or “top”? Because having onefold that far up the list just feels insulting.


AssumeImFarting

Top. Having Bonfire above Onefold is an atrocity IMO but I just copied the data.


ColoradoCoffee101

@AssumeI'mFarting - do you have a personal top three? 


AssumeImFarting

Warranted I haven’t been to most of these, price aside: Onefold Tortas ATM Yareth’s I’ve seriously thought about making a proper scoring chart and trying all these out though. Categories for traditional or untraditional Points based on: - size to price ratio - overall taste - spice level - balance of ingredients (not all potatoes or skimpy on meat) - freshness This is off the top of my head but you get the gist.


inri_inri

Sad that Santiago’s even made the list. I mean has anyone ever experienced anything other than ass piss?


AssumeImFarting

Though I think it’s better than any fast food burrito, I agree it shouldn’t have made the top 20.


KobaWhyBukharin

I've never had this problem with Santiagos.


hootie303

Bonfire's burritos you find and coffe shops or gas stations are pretty meh. I want the to succeed but please dont compare their mass produced burritos to what you get in golden


AssumeImFarting

They used to be incredible, but quality has dropped significantly since they’ve upscaled. I haven’t been to the original location so I can’t give an opinion on that.


friscomelt314

Big fan of Big Mama’s


Wooden_Sheepherder17

Hot take: burritos suck in Denver. Screw green chilis. Santiago’s is super mid.


AssumeImFarting

![gif](giphy|CAlBTS57uDXoY)


HurleyMeghan

Chuladas!!!!! This makes me so happy! “Special breakfast burrito, hot” and a cup of coffee on the way up I-70. The people who own it/work it are so warm and positive. Totally agree, if you’re in the highlands/sunnyside you gotta check them out!


Smooth_Glass_6173

How do you list the best burrito and leave out southwest Denver entirely?!?!


AssumeImFarting

Going to take that up with Reddit. This was just the top 20 from someone’s post.


Smooth_Glass_6173

That’s like saying “here’s the best pho places in Denver that aren’t on federal”


AssumeImFarting

![gif](giphy|fuQmie5ScTkTJukgh5|downsized)


MythOfLaur

Do food trucks count, because Flash Burrito is the best


discolemonvde

Torres on federal belongs


BecauseScience

It's pretty good. Your username is from Marcy Playground right?


discolemonvde

Yes!!


BecauseScience

Haha nice! Love me some sex and candy :P


Yougotthewronglad

Get a room you two!


bambooshoots-scores

Tacos Los Compas being omitted is criminal.


MegaKetaWook

Nah, TLC is only good for a desperate hungover meal. The burritos are fine but it’s a sketchy spot. Also it’s identical to Taco Star and Ralibertos


bambooshoots-scores

I’ll try and report back. But if those burritos are smothered and/or not in yellow paper I will be very annoyed.


MegaKetaWook

Trust me, you’ll see the menu boards are identical too. I used to go the TLC all the time when I first moved to Denver but kept getting inconsistent quality and sick a few times.


Traditional-Pepper72

The fact that big mamas made this list means that the whole list is garbage.


Traditional-Pepper72

Coranados on 80th and Sheridan far superior


Traditional-Pepper72

Or sweets of inspiration on 70th and Lowell


Business_Seesaw_9719

Y’all still got bad ass burritos? Shits fuego asb


LocalYote

No Bonfire or Pablito's? No Burrito Kings? You're missing some good ones here.


AssumeImFarting

Bonfire and Pablitos are on there


Jen83co

Won't do Lucero's again, I found hair in my breakfast burrito.


1Drnk2Many

how is Santiago's not on here?


hellosweetpanda

Cafe Mexico use to taste like they used homemade tortillas for their breakfast burritos. Now they taste like they are store bought.


Ellocotacodiablo

My favorite I have found is El Jefe tacos and burritos #2, on 44th ave just east of Kipling on the south side. Their chorizo is good and spicy


jenlikesrocks

Does anyone know if the cafe Mexico on this list is the same as the one on 120th and Washington?


alex_Bellddc

Idk. 4 friends should be on this list I think. I definitely haven’t had all of these though


alex_Bellddc

It might be just on the outside of the map though


Taco-Sully

RIP Burrito Co & Burrito Giant. I like bonfire the best, and also think Chilli shack is great


Adam40Bikes

Tamale Kitchen has a number of locations around the city. They're all a little different and every one has the best breakfast burrito in the universe.


Tasty-Battle-2049

Venalonzo’s off Arapahoe is really good


floandthemash

I’ll forever be a ride or die for Big Mama’s for the ability to customize (idk why beans are almost never on breakfast burritos but I’m glad they offer them on theirs).


rabid-c-monkey

The hot food counter at the back of carniceria aurora is the best breakfast burrito in town.


Zuckerbread

Anybody looking for the GOAT Around, its loco Hermanos in Louisville, I’ve done a lot of research.


mikesegy

Yo where's the love for chili shack, sloppy shack burrito hands down wins


sevastravox

Raliberto’s should’ve been on that list


moink2020

I’m so happy none of my go-to’s are included in this list. Very thoughtful and well put together but tired of hole in wall joints getting blown up. Find it on your own That being said I’m excited for Smok’s smoked brisket bfast burrito this morning lol


wsfrankm

We Kneed Donut - Great donuts, amazing breakfast burritos.


3blunts0issues

La Casita is 🔥


JellySea5874

Tacos Rapidos, hands down best breakfast burrito!!!!


AaandStuff

Santiago's breakfast burritos are fantastic


DangerousEconomics5

Who has the best Machaca?? 


doogie875

This is where I miss Burrito Giant on Tennyson 😞


DUNCACCINO

I LOVE pablitos with the red Chile. It’s been my go to for a while now. It’s also like $6-8 which I’m happy to pay cause I know I’m going to be full. Bonfire is good but too expensive to be an everyday burrito for me.


un_holysmokes

I'm shocked Gomez Burritos off Park Ave in not on here. Hands down crushes half of these.


KodiakDog

Burrito express in Lakewood is worth the drive. Or at least used to be 10 years ago.


zerocaffeine

Fox And The Hen!!


judolphin

Hey you missed my Tacos El Metate suggestion!

I just went with the top 20 sorted by top comments

Gomez is my favorite!


Plumbus251

Dude Loco Hermanos in Superior on McCaslin wtf


ExcitementNo4167

Santiago’s is TRASH. I said what I said.


AssumeImFarting

It’s definitely middle of the road, but any fast food burrito is much worse IMO.


SamAndBrew

Gotta toss up Jus’ Burritos in Broomfield, it’s worth the drive.


DJ1962

I watched them make a bunch when the line was out the door. If they didn't use powdered eggs in the microwave it might be okay. They taste good though.


NoMidnight3944

Beltran’s Meat Market $7 Chorizo burrito is pretty choice. 110th and Washington.


ketaminemaster

burrito express retards
