Juanita’s Burritos 719 — Restaurant in Colorado

I was hunting for a breakfast burrito place on Saturday where I wouldn’t have to wait a half an hour. Google gave me this well-rated option. Turns out they have breakfast but not breakfast burritos. So I ordered a skillet and breakfast tacos. Typical restaurant prices, so not cheap, but that’s fine. It’s a food truck, which is an issue for some people still. The cashier was friendly and kind, and the food was ready really fast! The star of the show was probably the homemade corn tortillas for the tacos. The salsa has kick and lots of flavor, not just hot. The potatoes are in big chunks (still bite sized) and perfectly fried so that they are crispy outside and soft inside. The bacon was crumbled but not over cooked as happens frequently at restaurants. Very pleasant breakfast. So why only 4 stars? Well that skillet comes with a fried egg versus the tacos coming with scrambled. And unfortunately the fried egg was super liquid, which made someone really unhappy when it dripped all over a portion of the skillet, rendering that portion inedible to that person. So if you’re picky about your fried eggs, stick with the breakfast tacos or ask if they are willing to cook that egg a little...

So, today we decided to try Juanita's food truck on northern ave. We ordered bean burritos with cheese, potatoes, chicharone, chorizo and green chile. Had to take back the first order because ( I hate soft squishy chicarone) after debating with the staff ( that tried telling me that the beans and everything in the burrito made them soggy) the owner did make it right and fried the chicharone crispier. The over all burrito was not what I expected ( compared to Casa De Burritos, which I believe have the best burritos in town and ALWAYS have crispy chicharone ) I give Juanita's a 4 out of 10 and I give that because of the size of the burrito (very big) but I for one will not give...

I may only order one thing here (I have tried a handful of items) but that bean and chicharrón burrito with green chili is too hard to beat. The thick burrito is stuffed full with refried beans, and they taste homemade. The chicharrón, is better than homemade, it is like my abuela showed them her special recipe. Never burnt, never chewy. And the tortilla? Well that's not like home. We use a comal to crisp up the tortas before and sometimes after stuffing them up. These feel more like steam heated. But not like those breakfast burritos you get elsewhere, you know the ones that stick to the foil and get all soggy... These stay great for some reason....
