Bonfire Burritos

This was our first meal after landing at airport. We were on our way to the mountains, and it was the perfect pitstop for breakfast burritos! There was a line but it went fast. They have their operation down to a tee. We got two burritos and they were bomb!!! So good. Can’t wait to go back.

Best burrito I’ve ever had. Music was a bit much for 10:30 am Girl that gave me my bag was SUPER jaded, and got it wrong anyway. Long lines are always indicative of great food and Bonfire delivers. Staff could be less aggressive and transactional. 🫤 Worth the wait, but don’t engage the staff.

My first time here this morning. Entire staff was awesome! Music was great. Food was delicious. Brian was amazing at answering my questions about the food being Celiac safe. By the end of our interaction I don’t think I’ve ever trusted a stranger more. Food was 5 stars (got the classic bowl and subbed green chile for salsa verde) entire experience was 5/5 thanks for being my new favorite spot when I visit the front range!

The hype is real! We did some research while in Golden and wanted to get some bomb burritos at a local joint and this was the spot we chose. The line for food was long but they are super efficient so it didn’t take long to order. From there you can chill, vibe out and listen to the music while you wait for your food. We got a burrito and a bowl a both were 10/10! If you get the chance to stop in, totally recommend.

Very low-key spot with a great outdoors vibe and absolutely delicious burritos! The service was so good. Everyone was super helpful and friendly while they talked us through the menu. Definitely go here before doing any of the hikes around golden!

🌯 This burrito didn’t just meet expectations, it wrapped them in a warm tortilla and absolutely delivered. From the first bite, it was clear this burrito was made by someone who respects food. The tortilla was soft, fresh, and perfectly steamed, holding everything together without tearing or stealing the spotlight. Inside, the rice was fluffy and well-seasoned, not filler but a foundation. The beans? Creamy, rich, and clearly cooked with care, adding depth instead of just bulk. The carne asada was the real star: tender, juicy, and boldly seasoned, with that just-right balance of char and moisture that makes you pause mid-bite and appreciate what’s happening. Every ingredient was in harmony; no one fighting for attention, no sad pockets of nothingness. Each bite was consistent, generous, and deeply satisfying. The salsa brought the heat without overpowering, (but I prefer the green chile) the cheese melted into everything like it belonged there all along, and the guacamole was fresh, vibrant, and unmistakably hand-made. Nothing was watery, nothing was bland, and nothing fell apart. This burrito held itself together, structurally and spiritually. By the end, I wasn’t just full; I was fully impressed. This is the kind of burrito that reminds you why burritos are elite food: comforting, bold, and expertly balanced. I’d order it again without hesitation, recommend it without caveats, and defend it in an argument. If you’re on the fence: get the burrito. If you’re hungry: run, don’t walk. P.S. Don’t forget the homemade tortilla chips! 👌🏻

Someone in Breckinridge recommended this place after hearing my search for a breakfast burrito that wasn’t mush. I got the deluxe!!! Carne asada is grilled on site and the butter salsa is yummm!!! Don’t expect to get your burrito to go if it’s your first time! I highly recommend enjoying the vibe. Someone made a post about the floor being dirty and I almost didn’t go! First off this place had covered outdoor seating, secondly I guess dirty is perspective! I thought it was clean, compared to other places I’ve been I appreciated not having a million flies and mosquitoes around me while eating!

Please welcome! Legendary place! Andy “Almost Vegan” burrito - Jackalope with chorizo! The quality it’s a law in this place! Outstanding delicious! 💫💫💫

Loved it. Best burritos ever. Food 5* Ambiance 4* Price 5* Cleanliness 4* Would like to open one of these in Kentucky.

Out of towner here... The customer service is great! Breakfast burritos with chorizo were awesome! Definitely will go back.

If you are hungry in Golden and craving something flavorful, filling, and fast, Bonfire Burritos is the place to go. We ordered two of their signature burritos. The Chupacabra and the Javelina, both with a medium level of heat. They were incredible. Each bite was packed with fresh ingredients and a perfect balance of spice. The medium heat added a really nice kick without taking away from the overall flavor. The ordering process was easy and pickup was quick. Even with a steady line of customers, the staff kept everything moving with friendly energy. The portions are generous and truly hit the spot after exploring the area. The branding is fun and eye catching too. The labeled foil wraps and bag make the experience feel thoughtful from start to finish. Five stars from us. We will absolutely be back the next time we are in Golden.

Really good burrito and coffee! The service was quick and the decor is so unique. The menu options are all pretty similar, so it'd be nice to see just a couple different burrito options, maybe an all day breakfast burrito. The seating area didn't seem to be maintained well throughout the day, but that wouldn't stop me from returning. This is a cool spot!

Food was so delicious service was amazing and ambiance was so chill It's my first time in Colorado and if I come back I'd come back here again. The burritos have a lot of flavor.

Worth the hype. We drove by and saw it was crowded and decided we had to check it out. I had grandma's margarita and it was an interesting margarita with some peach schnapps. I had the Jackalope burrito which was a no meat burrito and it was a delicious burrito! My only warning: I am someone that regularly eats Frank's hot sauce on everything, they ask mild, medium or hot and I got my burrito as "medium". It was great flavor but my lips were burning and it was pretty smokin hot. Unless you eat like habanero sauce, I would highly recommend mild. Epic place to stop after touring the Coors brewery .

Some of the best breakfast burritos and coffee on the front range! The Burro burrito and the Mama Cecelia make for a killer breakfast.

Hands down the best breakfast burritos we've ever had! This was one of the first places I saved for our trip to Golden and I'm so glad I did! The burritos come in 2 sizes and we like variety so of course, we ordered 3 small ones. They are packed with protein and other ingredients so they really filled us up! I couldn't even finish my portion. We loved the chorizo in the Chupacabra with the green chiles, so good! The Burro was delicious with the fresh taste of peppers that really balanced the heaviness of the other ingredients. The one that surprised us the most was the Javelina! Normally I'm not a huge pineapple fan but this was SO good! The fresh pineapple combined with the chorizo was absolutely delicious. We didn't love the "burrito butter", it tasted good but I enjoyed the flavor of the burritos better. Everybody working in here was really friendly and it was definitely a fast casual type of place. We sat outside with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and landscape. I saw a bush rustling at my feet and there was a baby bunny hopping around!! So peaceful! It's probably a good thing that I don't live close by because a breakfast burrito hates to see me coming. I would be here literally every day.

Great burritos, finally got to try it from the restaurant! Picked some up to-go after yoga on red rocks and they were ready in 20min! Jackalope was our favorite but the deluxor packed a nice spicy kick! Parking is tricky and there isn't very much especially during busy times. Hope you get lucky or catch a break on side roads. If you're new (like I was), pick up orders are on the outdoor patio side! The guy at the Pick up counter (inside) won't make eye contact with you or help unless he calls your name so don't bother. Regular customers are kind enough to assist however. Besides some poor customer service, it's a nice location to grab a quick breakfast after a workout, hike, walk, etc.

Certainly the best breakfast burritos in golden co. Great ambience and product is simply top shelf good !

Cool vibe, awesome location, and friendly staff highlight bonfire Burritos in Golden. This is the ideal spot to get a post hike burrito or a pre hike breakfast burrito lol. I've been here for lunch and breakfast. I would say that their protein is the highlight of the burrito. Steak had an awesome smoke to it, chorizo had a light and spicy flavor & bacon is crispy!!! Overall, I would rate the burritos a 3 1/2 out of 5. The sauces and style of burrito is not my style personally but doesn't mean others would not love it. I typically request sauce on the side so I can taste each ingredient vs. just the strong green chili sauce they put into the burritos (it kind of overtakes the flavor profile. Burritos are $12-$15 dollars which is pricey but overall it's a chill place to grab a burrito, hang out before or after an adventure and support locals.

Great tacos & a great price for a small business - had awesome GF (gluten free) options, too. Definitely a spot I'd recommend for folks looking for easy lunch options at low cost and allergy accommodations. Corn tortillas didn't fall apart, either. I didn't love the cut of the asada meat on the tacos, but that's a super personal preference and overall it was a great stop. I hope to come back and try their breakfast tacos!

Bonfire Burritos ... WOW! We were traveling up i70 and searched for burritos along the route. A short detour through Golden (which is a super cute town) brought us to Bonfire. It has an unpretentious indoor outdoor vibe going on. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. What we got: - Javelin (spicy) - I was on the fence about this one. Although I love smoked pork I was worried the pineapple would make it too sweet. Spoiler, the flavors were perfect. I'd recommend this one 100%. - Classic (chicken, med spicy) - this one wasn't bad by any stretch but I'd choose a different protein next time. The pork in the Javelin was better. - Burrito butter - this is a house made condiment they have available. It's vinegary and adds a nice brightness. Their style of burrito is unique. I can only describe it as "microwave burrito" style. Which doesn't mean they aren't delicious, they are, just that the internals are more homogeneous than other burritos I've had. I'll be back to try their breakfast burritos, for sure! They also have alcohol and happy hour deals.

The burritos really are great. Not the same as everywhere else, a completely unique take on burritos for the area, and they are awesome. The Burro, extra crema... I am ending this review so I can go get another one. I highly recommend! UPDATE: I have been back about 5 times since my last review and have explored the menu a bit. They are all great. Everything on the menu is top shelf. Photos are of the Chupacabra, but you can't go wrong. They are opening two new locations, and I can't wait.

This place used to be great. Now expect to wait 45-1 hour for an okay and very expensive burrito.

Amazing burritos!! Was heading up the mountains and was craving some breakfast burritos so I found this place. Friendly staff and this place does get very busy on weekends and mornings. The burrito is very saucy! Gives a mouthful of flavor with each bite. There's option to add more of that "burrito butter" sauce as well as some "diesel drip" The burritos are a good size and has a balanced portion of meat and other fillings. Good amount of seating and was warm inside. I also got their frozen burritos. Not as saucy but makes a pretty quick and good breakfast when staying on the mountains. Would definitely come back when I'm snowboarding in Denver again!

Good food! Cool environment! The heaters kept us plenty warm on the patio! They fixed their mistake when I asked.

I've had Bonfire bookmarked for a while and we finally made our way over. Wow. It's places like Bonfire that make me happy. We both love Mexican food, especially tacos and burritos. They have both and know what they're doing. If you read through the reviews, you'll see reviews that are almost a decade old - sharing the same themes: delicious food and quick service. They've grown (of course they have!) and now have a bar, walk up ordering and lots of seating options. They are *really* well staffed - and it shows. They had a small line and lots of folks already waiting but orders were being cranked out like clockwork. We sat at the bar and just watched their well oiled machine humming along. It was fascinating. And impressive. Ordinary folks killing it. And the food? Let's start with the compostable containers and utensils - these little (but massively important) details always get my attention and given a choice to return to two equally good establishments, I'll choose the more sustainable place hands down, every time. So yes, we notice. I ordered a bowl - basically a deconstructed burrito in a bowl, original size. The Jakelope got my vote this morning but I'll be honest, there were several other combos that I wanted to try (and will try cause we'll be back). Such good flavors - especially the green chilis! My partner ordered a burrito and inhaled it. No picture but man, the flavors were fabulous and neither one of us had not one critique to share. So good. Cocktails? Yep, they have them and their bar service was great. House margs are not too likely and not too sweet. Perfect. Man, I am already thinking about a return trip. Don't bookmark Bonfire and wait like we did. You'll regret it. Go sooner than later. You're welcome in advance.

After an early morning appointment my husband and I decided to stop for a late breakfast. This was during the week. It was busy but not overly so. I imagine on the weekend it can get quite hectic. I got a breakfast burrito with roasted chilis inside. Cannot go wrong with that. They have some fun beverage selections. We sat inside, although there is a nice outside space as well. The parking lot is adequate for the weekdays, but I bet it fills and overflows on the weekend. Worth a stop!

What a gem. The best breakfast burrito I've ever had. My boyfriend and I were visiting from California and were in Golden for the Coors brewery tour and found this amazing breakfast place. We ordered the "Classic" breakfast burrito. Right amount of flavor and heat. They had pretty good ratings already so we came with high expectations but it exceeded our expectations. Just simple, fast and delicious. Staff were super friendly and the overall environment was fun and fresh. Hope they decide to expand in the future and bring some of their amazing burritos to California.

Bonfire Burritos is the definition of Colorado comfort food wrapped in a tortilla. Their burritos are massive, messy, and magnificent -- the kind that make you grin after the first bite. The green chile steals the show: smoky, spicy, and perfectly balanced. Everything tastes homemade and honest, from the eggs to the tender carnitas. The vibe is laid-back and unpretentious, with mountain-town charm to spare. Come hungry, leave blissfully full -- Bonfire absolutely earns its local legend status.

Apparently a CO staple, and the best breakfast burrito. The Deluxor did not disappoint. I got the Original and it was loaded with steak and fire roasted chiles. Gosh it was marvelous. Plenty big for the price, which is not cheap at $16. Service was quick and I admired how many folks they had working to keep us outdoor adventurers more than adequately fueled. As the sticker said above the register, Don't Boulder My Golden. Go to Bonfire Burritos!

Great food, drinks, and service! My friend and I stopped in on a Sunday morning and it was booming! Though there was a lot of people we got our food quickly. The restaurant itself is small, but they have a really cute outdoor patio that has a great view of the mountain mountains. I got their classic burrito with steak and their hot chili and it didn't disappoint! I am a breakfast burrito fanatic, and this hit the spot. I also ordered a spicy Michelada and it was delicious! Honestly, it was better than some Miches that I get at Mexican restaurants! I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the golden area, you won't be disappointed!

The hype is absolutely real about Bonfire burritos. Easily the best burrito I've had in Colorado - probably ever ???? They were out of sauce which was the only negative but whatever I'll be back. Cool spot too, would love to check this place out during the summer when they open the windows!

Excellent service - fast, friendly and efficient! Cool laid back vibe albeit maybe the music was a smidge loud for a Tuesday lunch. The burritos were solid but nothing amazing - softer consistency - didn't get the heat of my spice level until the last couple bites. Price point is tough to swallow - $37 for two burritos, two small cokes -

Fantastic burritos and a great team building them and serving them to the customers! We were served promptly on a busy and hectic weekend. The burrito butter is a must. The weather was nice, and it was fun to sit on the patio.

Makes my heart happy! When I die and go to heaven- if there are no Bonfire Burritos- I'm not staying! This place is heaven on earth. Love the food. Everything I've had is over the top. The chupacabra is on point! Love the music (always) - keep Shazam open! and all the peeps here are fantastic. Brian (Bryan?) makes you feel right at home. Stay awhile and have a frosty beverage! You will leave feeling JOYFUL!

The skinny: best bfast burritos in denver - hands down. The overview: Cute spot in Golden that has blown up quite a bit, premade ones can be found all over now. But trust me its blown up for good reason. Do yourself a favor and venture out to their eclectic Golden location, it has some indoor seating and a nice little patio. Note it does get busy but you can order ahead online to make it easier. The food: I've loved everything I've gotten here but the standouts are: (1) Chupacabra: Super filling, packed with all sorts of meat - chorizo, bacon, sausage. The meatlovers of the burrito world. (2) Javelina: Love the spice from the jalepeno balanced with the sweet of the pineapple. Because I'm a messy eater I normally go for a bowl and for bfast - little giant is enough to be filling but not put me to sleep. Would I come back: Yes and often times do. This is our go-to for weekend burritos and when we have visitors - a great spot before hitting a hike.

A yummy burrito spot. The parking lot is a bit small but we were able to snag some parking. Took 5-10 minutes to get through the line for weekday lunch. You can adjust the spice for your burrito. Took around 15-20 minutes for our order to be ready but it was also packed so it's understandable. The burrito was packed with deliciousness; rich in flavor from the chorizo and creamy with the sauce, it's hard not to scarf down this burrito. Plenty of seats both indoors and outdoors of the restaurant. Definitely recommending stopping by if you are in the area.

Clearly the phone did not eat first!! This burrito smelled too good and I couldn't wait! We ordered online well in advance since the line can be pretty long, but ordering our coffee from the food truck in the parking lot while we waited for our burritos to be done made the experience 10x's better! The outdoor seating space was lovely and we were easily able to find a spot to sit despite the large crowd. Will absolutely be returning here on my next trip to Denver!

Great place for breakfast while in Golden! I got a bowl and my dad got a burrito and both were good portions that left us full for a while. All employees we encountered were very kind and helpful. Lots of seating and space in their patio for some fresh air and views of the nearby mountains.

A stop at bonfire is a must on your way to the mountains (or really anytime)! Breakfast burritos; the chupacabra is a personal fave, are truly next level. The space is great with indoor/outdoor seating and welcoming to friendly dogs. The service is as quick as it can be with how popular this place is getting, highly recommend online orders in advance when in a pinch for time. Otherwise, they are well worth the wait!

Bonfire burritos is a good spot to grab lunch to go! But they also have a very cute patio to enjoy if it's nice out. They have two vegetarian burrito options but sadly neither come with tofu. Roasted veggies are always great but I want tofu!! (Please put tofu as an option for the burritos!!). I ordered the Jackalope because the other vegan burrito did not come with cheese (and I love cheese). It was great! I really liked the roasted peppers and pico. I ordered it with the 50/50 sauce that was a good level of spice for me. Even though it was lunch rush hour, it didn't take too long for them to come out. We took them to go to eat downtown by the river. Very solid burrito! Great local spot!

Came here for the breakfast burritos which they stop serving at 11! Got the small size and it was more than enough food. It's order at the counter and seat yourself. There's a coffee truck in the lot.

Delicious breakfast burrito.. and no waiting! Two words: Order Online. I was looking for a breakfast burrito on a post-red-rocks Sunday Morning, the internet pointed me to bonfire breakfast burritos, and suggested ordering online to avoid the long wait time. I am very glad I took that last piece of advice. at around 9AM I ordered my burrito for pickup at 10AM. I walked in the door at around 10:05AM - Upon arrival, there was a line out the door to place an order and every seat in the place was taken. This is obviously a sign that the food is delicious, but would've been very disappointing if I had shown up on a whim without knowing to order beforehand - this is a non-problem in the end. Food was hot and ready to go, no waiting at all. They had a convenient separate spot for pick-up orders so you didn't have to navigate through any weird glares to pick up your wisely pre-ordered food. I had the classic breakfast burrito with bacon and 50/50 spicy green chili. It was not really spicy at all, so I would assume the full spicy is very manageable. There was a ton of bacon in this burrito and it was very well seasoned. Really nicely balanced flavor and not too much of anyhting - will probably get this exact order any time I am in the neighborhood and can get by this place. Portion was pretty moderate, not a crazy oversized breakfast burrito which I guess you can look at as a good or a bad thing, but it didn't leave me feeling ill which is always a good thing! Anyway, lots of rambling.. can't wait to return! Delicious burrito.

Hands down the best breakfast burritos I've had in all of Colorado. Really cute place with a bar as well as patio seating. The staff are awesome. I'd recommend the burro, deluxor, and chupacabra. Get it smothered and add some burrito butter from the wall! Or take it to go. Green chili is spicy, I get medium but my partner loves the hot.

Got great food. I recieve their frozen breakfast burritos here in Texas yearly. Their frozen breakfast burritos are better than a lot of local made.

Looove this place! Best burritos and best vibes. I will trek all the way from downtown Denver to grab a chupacabra burrito and a pink lady marg. I also love that there are vegetarian options so I can bring my friends with more dietary restrictions. And the staff is amazing as well as the food. The person in the king gizzard shirt who helped us today was so incredibly nice and welcoming and they were playing the best music! Can't wait to return.

The burritos were great. I counted, they had 13 people back there making burritos. So that answers the age old question, how many hippies does it take to make a burrito. 13. It takes 13. I got one hot and one medium. The hot was legit hot. Like wipe your butt with an ice cream cone the next morning hot. It was delicious though. I would say it was a little slow, but I did see them making boxes and boxes of burritos for delivery or pick up. Not very fancy community tables.

We are from Michigan and I had a coworker recommend this place to me and WOW I am SO glad he did! There was a line out the door but it was 10000% worth the wait. The burritos are big, spicy, and packed full of flavor! I have no complaints at all! Everyone was friendly and the decor/vibe was super fitting and exciting to walk into this restaurant. We can't wait to come back the next time we are in Colorado

Hawaii of breakfast is. Overhyped, underwhelming, crowded, and only attractive to surbanites who don't know flavor. Seriously, why go here when Santiagos is down the road.

This place is open for breakfast, and despite the fact that I arrived in the dark wanting to witness a sunset on the nearby mountain, there was a small crowd already. This is the first place that pops up when I search for "burrito" in Denver, and it delivered a quintessential experience. Even on the breakfast menu, a quality vegan option was available (so many breakfast menus are heavy on egg), and when I asked for it with full green chili, it did indeed come spicy. I didn't see the chips on the menu but I did see some being packed. I wondered if it might have been worth getting chips and a smaller burrito, but my uphill hike was more conducive to a wrapped burrito. I ended up making it up just in time to enjoy a sunrise breakfast. Their beverage selection included a yerba mate drink, which is a strange flavor but does invigorate. This place was substantial to eat in, but offered precisely what I needed in a takeout.

The food is amazing and would be better if the help didn't let it sit under the heat lamp. We ordered online and got there right as we got the text saying our order is ready. We told the guy we got a text saying our order was done and he told us it wasn't. We waited 10 minutes before asking another worker our name and she got it immediately! Our burritos were lukewarm and not so fresh after sitting under the warming lamp. Very disappointed and recommend they hire more competent workers on the weekend.

Amazing Service, People were really chill, best breakfast burrito I've ever had, recommend the Cupacabra Burrito Medium Heat, the building was also very chill, overall good experience

Nice people and really good food but $17 for damn burrito and soda? This is why I don't eat out anymore. Thanks for reminding me.

They did something to change the way they manufacture the frozen burritos and jacked up the price. They aren't nearly as good. This is not a great equation. It was nice knowing you, Bonfire. The Golden food truck days were most definitely the salad days. I won't forget you, baby.

the place itself is very cool. love the decoration and location. the food was a different story. got the chupacabra and classic burritos. tortillas are barely warmed/toasted resulting in very poor stability for the burrito and a sloppy texture. the "carne asada" is definitely just steak, not the real deal. got an iced matcha, tasted like milk, pretty mid. for the hype and reviews this place had, I can confidently say I was disappointed.

Really good breakfast burritos with excellent green chile. We went here twice in the last week and the experience was similar both times--waits to order then to receive food, and some jockeying to find seating. They may be a victim of their own success in terms of ability to handle the customer flow. But well worth the stop for the food! Heaters over the tables were much appreciated on a chilly December morning.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. 100% recommend. The service was surprisingly fast for how packed it was. Super popular spot and the line was out the door but we were waiting maybe 15 minutes max. I got a classic with bacon and it had so much flavor. I really wish we went back to try their lunch burritos
