Anyone who says Santiago's is the best BB in Denver has never been here. "Do one thing and do it better than anybody" was rumored to be the mantra of Colonel Sanders. These guys do just that. Hands down the best breakfast burrito in town. I come here frequently and it is consistently awesome.
For only $2.75 you get breakfast burrito heaven - delicious green chile, sausage or chorizo (I think bacon too, but I get the sausage), perfect potatoes, and a soft fried egg (yolk broken). The fried egg is brilliant, why isn't every breakfast burrito made this way? Even cheese if you want.
The burrito is plenty big to fill me up- in fact if they were any bigger you couldn't eat them just by holding them. They are expertly wrapped to allow eating in the car. Which is nice, because they don't have any seating inside and the parking lot is so tiny they ask you to not eat in the parking lot. I barely make it to the light on Santa Fe before I've already torn into the deliciousness.
They line can look long in the early mornings, but they are super efficient. It is definitely worth the short wait.
I have tried their tacos at lunch time, and they're just OK. But then I slapped myself for not getting the breakfast burrito instead. I mean I could really eat breakfast burritos any time of day or night.
WARNING - BRING CASH!!! There is an ATM there, but it is just a little terminal next to the cash register and it is awkward to use while everyone is waiting in line behind you. Also it charges you $2 like a regular ATM. If you forget, just go up and use it as soon as you get there, then ge in line. And don't be a jerk and eat in the parking lot.
I train at the gym next door, so this place is perfectly positioned and a welcome relief after an hour or two of intense workouts. They make some excellent burritos and tamales. Those carbs are a true lifesaver at times like this. I've literally walked in there exhausted and walked out feeling on top of the world.
There is nothing a smothered burrito and a Rockstar won't cure.
It may look a little "hole-in-the-wall" with the bars over the windows, but don't let that scare you off. Once inside you'll be greeted with a smile and they'll quickly whip your order together. And here, they don't call you by number. They actually use your name.
Ahhhh the personal touch!
They also have cold drinks for sale, including bottled water, sodas, and many energy drinks.
But be prepared to take-out because it's not a sit down place. Just so you know. But trust me, your car makes an excellent dining room. Speaking from TONS of experience, here. Just don't eat and drive.
Love this place. So I am now. Officially. A Regular.
The price probably cannot be beat. We ended up here accidentally, way better than going to McDonalds for breakfast down the road...but left a little disappointed. Service was fast, food was hot, but favors were on the bland side. I guess that's what I get for getting the mild green chile but it should still taste. If ever back in the area I'll try the not so mild, but for now just 3.
Review Source:I was very happy with The Burrito Company, but I have only visited once, and thus have only had one item. Â I chose a Deluxe Breakfast Burrito with sausage, and I have to say, it was DELICIOUS. Â I was allowed to order 1/2 and 1/2 on my green chili, which was a great temperature and very flavorful. Â I look forward to visiting again.
Review Source:Alright, I obviously didn't read the reviews before coming here. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either and kind of small. I'm used to the scary hole in the wall places that have the best Mexican food ever in AZ. My husband ordered some sort of meat burrito that was supposed to be steak, he couldn't finish it and he can eat anything. My son had the beef and chile mild burrito, which I ate half of since my burrito was so tiny. Yuck, I'm trying to hold back the vomit. Kudos for cheap price, and fast service though. Maybe I'll have to try the breakfast burrito, but probably not.
Review Source:I'm an aspiring breakfast burrito & pork green chile conoisseur. I have tried countless breakfast burritos all over the city, as an obsession. The Burrito Co. is MY FAVORITE for an egg, potato, cheese, & green chile handheld. I didn't mention bacon or other meats in that last statement because their meats detract from the best flavors, so I avoid meat after many prior attempts. I wish they would improve this one thing, especially the bacon. The eggs are cooked just right, even though they're not scrambled. The yolk sweetens it with many bites. The green chile has great flavor & it's semi-hot. Tear the foil on the narrow end first because with the way they wrap, that is the open end of the tortilla. The green chile still tries to ooze out! The size is very good for the low price. Usually, I ask them for extra & they charge just a tad bit more. Smothered is good too. The employees are always very nice.
Review Source:the food is good, the service is good even though they act like they have all had lobotomies and over ampt on thorazine. i guess the guy that owns the place now is like hitler's daughter always scowling and never smiles. i have been frequenting this place for 10 years and most of the people that worked then are still there. you would think you would get a hello or a smile for repeat business. when the other guy owned it the employees where a lot happier and even let you use the head. lighten up and enjoy let your people smile again.
Review Source:Just ate here and it was pretty good. Meant to get one of the breakfast burritos, but forgot when I saw the bean/green chile/meat burritos. Wound up getting two burritos and for me that was the right amount (I can take down quite a bit of food). They are good size, and are about 2/3 the size of something from Tacos Rapidos. They offer smothered burritos, but I opted for them to put the green chile inside of the burrito. Got one steak and one pork. The steak was just OK. Flavor was OK. It was the beans and chile that were pulling the flavor weight though. Then I had the pork. That was the right choice. Flavor and texture was spot on. I must admit that I did not find their hot green chile all that hot. Might be different on a fully smothered burrito where there is more, but hot would be my only choice. At the end of it all the contents were working together to make a good burrito. It was about $5.40 for two burritos and that seemed very reasonable. There is better out there, but not necessarily for the same price and speed of service.
It is worth noting that there are no tables here and they have super speedy service.
This is a lunch review.
A dang fine burrito for minimal dollars. Smothered burrito, added pork, held the onions, hot (not mild).
Zero ambiance, but that's not the point - it's the food and the price, and the lightning fast service. It was definitely under thirty seconds between when I finished my order and was picking it up.
Why 5 stars? There is no dining here, it's all take out . Open 6am- 2pm. Cash only. No restrooms.They are that good and cheap! Burritos for $2.50. I didn't even like breakfast burritos until I tried the ones here. The green chili inside is really tasty (beans,pork, and green chili...my favorite!). A huge tamale for $1.50! Great values.
 They started adding new items....not too impressed with them, stick to the burritos. Friendly people for this fast paced place. So, 5 stars, not a 5 star restaurant, but 5 stars. Best burrito in Denver! They have 2 other locations, but I like this one the most. Good clean place.
I dreamed of a place that had breakfast burritos and the chile flowed like wine...and I finally found The Burrito Company.
Lucky for me, this little gem is down the street from where I work!
Parking lot is small, but people move in and out pretty quickly. You're not allowed to eat your burrito in the lot, so geta move on!!!!!
Cash only, else you can use an ATM in there, so be prepared before you order.
Sometimes there is a big line, but it goes down pretty quick.
Really, these breakfast burritos make my morning's... I get mine with sausage.
WAY better than Santiago's in my opinion!!  The hand-held burritos are less than $3 and they put a nice amount of meat in them, unlike the one or two crumbles you get at Santiago's.  The mild chile is completely de-void of even a hint of spice, so get  the hot.  It's more like medium, I think.  The burritos are nice and moist with plenty of cheese as well. I like that they make them fresh to order rather than hold them in a counter-top warmer like they do at Santiago's.
I just went there yesterday and saw a sign that said "Now open on Saturday" so that is a great change! Â Check them out if you want a cheap, tasty, fresh burrito.
This little hole in the wall offers the best breakfast burritos in the metro area. Always made fresh to order, these little wonders rock! On any given day you can find a line of people waiting to get theirs. I really never stop in for lunch but I'm sure they make a decent lunch too.
I will warn you, the tortillas are the weak link of these burritos and they will rupture at the worst time, like while you are driving! Be careful and enjoy.
so this divy little joint can make some food let me tell you there green chili is always perfict although they just cant get it spicy enough for me i could not throw a 5th star to them. But when im in the area i am not going to pass this place up and now that the hot chick that dont speak very good english and me hablo muy poquito espanol it works out easier now! Now i'm not sure how fresh the food is as the flavor is hidden by the green chili
Review Source:I Â can't believe that anyone would give this place less than 4 stars. Â If not, we have a crime scene. Â I love it. Â On occasion, I drive up to Boulder for work, and I always stop for a breakfast burrito. Â First, I'm in love with that beautiful woman who makes my burrito. Â But, I assume she is married, so I have no chance there. Â Second, they make a burrito that you can eat in your car as you drive (if you are a very careful driver). Â And, unlike Santiago's, who I love, it won't spill out into your lap. Â Just great flavor, great green chile, great tortilla, great eggs, etc............. Â Stop and try it, you won't be disappointed. Â And, it's totally blue collar. Â Closed on weekends. Â Only open from 6 am until 2pm, Monday thru Friday. Â I love this place, and the woman who makes my burrito!
Review Source:Thanks Yelpers.... another victim falls to the clutches of the Burrito Company. Â I stopped by on my way to work this morning... and holy guacamole. Â I wasn't sure about getting one or two (I like a big breakfast), so I ended up getting 2.... I'm still stuffed, and it's lunch time! Â
I got the pork breakfast burrito hot with queso. Â Great flavor, nice spiciness, fresh tasting ingredients, and an excellent size for only 2.50.... Their menu looked intriguing to me so I can't wait to go back for more...
The only downside to this place is the location, it's a pretty much perfect for me on my way to work, but might be kind of an annoyance other wise. Â A small price to pay for deliciousness! Â Between here and Santiagos.... I'm in Mexican heaven! Â
The only reason it's a 4 star review is because I only tried their breakfast.... it will most likely be bumped to a 5 once I try their lunch/dinner menu.
when you wake up hungover of a strongbow kinda evening you need something to take off the edge, nothing quite fits the bill like the burrito company. Â The first time I tried Burrito company my boss drove me there to cure my obvious hangover from the night before and I was SOOO happy! Â Smothered BFAST burrito was just what the doctor ordered! and now I am addicted!
Its cheap, FAST!
NO credit cards, and they close at 2pm... Open at 6 am! Â They serve TACOS too... ehhhhemmm Awesome
I love u burrito company!
You have ruined my life Burrito Company. Every other breakfast burrito I have I compare it to you, but lets face it nothing compares to you.
Your warm tortillas are blanked with a sunny side egg that gives you even bites through out. You always have the right amount of melty gooeey cheese.Your potatoes are always cooked just right so they are not too hard or too mushy. Your chorizo is always the right delicious amount. And then you meld all of these ingredients with your spicy green chili creating the best breakfast burrito I have ever had in my life. Plus I get to have you for only $2.75.
*The only warning I have if your ready for this breakfast experience is to make sure you bring cash or check.
Not exactly what I was looking for in a breakfast burrito, but it's worth a second go, for sure.
The service was fast, the burrito cheap. I was a little thrown off my game, though, when I unwrapped the foil- the burrito was loosely wrapped, making it difficult to eat and drive, but I managed. The first bite offered something totally unexpected- the egg was fried (witha runny yolk), not scrambled, as per every other breakfast burrito I've ever had. It was... interesting. Not bad, just interesting. Â I also noticed that, instead of chorizo, when the menu said 'sausage', they literally meant sausage. I thought they were just making the menu gringo-friendly, but noooooo.
In short, if I find myself in the neighborhood and wanting a breakfast burrito again, I'll stop off and give them another shot. But I wouldn't go out of my way at this point.
