Overview
Francy, the hip and trendy guy he is, found us our next Denver breakfast burrito joint, a little more downtown than we usually go. With an overall enticing menu (I wanted to take mine home and read it curled up in bed), the thought did almost cross my mind to order something other than a breakfast burrito... but reality settled back in and of course we ended up with one of Onefold's monster breakfast burritos. Paired with a Vietnamese coffee at an outdoor table, this was one of the best ways to start off a Saturday.
Detailed Breakdown
1Tortilla
10/10Homemade... almost enough said right there. Soft and flavorful, it almost reminded me of a dumpling (a big, green-chili-smothered dumpling).
2Use of Potatoes
8/10Aside from maybe a bit salty as mentioned above, the potatoes were tastefully browned, crispified and cut up into small pieces. They were a bit too prevalent relative to the eggs and bacon, so we had to ding them slightly.
3Texture
9/10Crispy potatoes tangoed with crunchy bacon, who was also having a little something going on with fluffy eggs and the aforementioned tortilla. Every bite had its own dance.
4Flavor
8/10Walking into the restaurant before breakfast I would not have been able to tell you what Duck-fat Potatoes were, but having eaten this one now I certainly can... but almost a little too well. These almost gravy-like coated potatoes were a much appreciated kick of salt initially, but by half-way through this beauty it was borderline a bit much. Although it paired nicely with a sweet Vietnamese iced coffee, I was definitely needing some water afterward. In other flavor news, the green chili was outstanding: smoky, thick and delicious.
5General
10/10A dense, hearty behemoth with playful flavors stretching beyond your preconceived breakfast burrito expectations. A perfect way to start the weekend.
