I just stumbled into this place while on a business trip. I wish it was less than 1500 miles away. Next time I'm near Denver I'll be back!

My husband and I just got breakfast burritos this morning. They were WONDERFUL! The bacon was soooo good! My husband got ground beef and his was great too! Amazing flavor and such nice people working there. You could tell they really cared about the food they made. If you’re looking for a great meal, go there! You won’t be disappointed!

I went twice in one week, I liked it a lot. Wish I knew it was here sooner ... the TV has a booming bass... Little bit too loud for me

The wet burritos are fantastic. They have a ton of cheese. Hands down the best burritos in wheat ridge. I recommend the steak, as well as the beef and bean. The add on ingredients are reasonably priced and the food came out very quick. They were also happy to include salsa with the burritos.
