Built around the burrito Denver made famous

The breakfast burrito is a Denver invention: potatoes, eggs, meat, wrapped in a flour tortilla, often finished under the smother. It's worth taking seriously, and that's exactly what we do.

Every review on this site is written by a human who ate that burrito on purpose, with a scoring sheet in front of them. Some of our highest scores belong to stands you'd walk right past.
