Bonfire Burritos

What I really appreciate about Bonfire Burritos is their values—especially giving leftover food to those in need instead of wasting it. Big respect for that. It was my second visit, and while the food is solid (the Chupacabras burrito is tasty and super filling), the dining area could use a bit more attention—dirty tables and paper on the floor made it feel a bit neglected. Service is quick, and the staff is young and friendly. I like the small menu—it gives the impression that everything’s fresh. However, they serve everything in disposable containers, even if you're eating in, which creates a lot of unnecessary waste. I think asking customers if it's dine-in or takeout could help reduce that. Overall, it’s a quiet, casual spot for a quick and satisfying meal. Expect to spend around $20 per person with a drink. I’ll definitely be back.

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.

This was my first time at this place, and I ordered online because I didn’t want to wait. The spot is really beautiful, the vibe is great, and the food is super tasty. I got the L - BURRO, made with all-natural marinated chicken, fire-roasted hatch peppers, and diced ingredients. The extra spicy “fuego” sauce is pretty hot, but still totally manageable—you can definitely eat it without any problem. All the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. I’ll definitely be back!

Super tasty burritos and bowls. The food was fantastic. Best burrito bowl I’ve had in a long time. The restaurant has a relaxed picnic style vibe. Cozy and calm. My only gripe is that there is not salsa bar.

Large stuffed burritos! I picked up the OG Deluxor while my friend got the Chupacabra which I thought had better flavors. Interior leaves a lot to be desired. Arrived at 7:30am and was about a 10 minute wait for our burritos.

They have a pickup window outside and they keep your burritos in a warmer till you get there. Top quality ingredients; really yummy. It’s a super busy place and parking is a bummer but I get why it’s so slammed.

Run don’t walk! The Javelina breakfast burrito with pineapple is so amazing that we came back here 3 days in a row. I wish they would open a location in MN! The crew is great and you can tell they really like their jobs. We met one of the owners while sitting at the bar, great guy who was kind to his crew. I should have taken a picture of my food, but it was go great that well… I didn’t.

Bonfire Burrito is an excellent spot to enjoy an amazing casual meal. Their options are diverse and all have been very tasty. They have some delicious green chili as well. On my most recent visit I got the chupacabra Breakfast Burrito. It is filled with a variety of meats, has browns and I got the medium green chili. The little giant is big enough to fill me up, but the full size burrito looks huge. In the mood for a cocktail or beer, Bonfire has you covered there as well.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Bonfire burritos was a super fun find while we were on vacation in CO a month ago. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was festive ...I loved the outdoor patio and the staff was so nice to make sure I made the breakfast cutoff before they switched to the lunch menu. I'm sure the lunch is also delicious but I went for the breakfast burritos and tacos. It's also in a charming neighborhood with a great kids park up the street in case you happen to have your littles with you :)

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!

10/10 we were in Golden for 3 days and we ended up doing breakfast here twice because it was so good. Order online for faster service, there was a 30-40 minute wait on the weekend. Great ambiance on a summer day and dog friendly.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

So much hype! Waited 30+ minutes for our burritos but could have stayed home and just poured a shaker of salt into our mouths. Maybe we caught a bad batch but so salty I tossed most of my very expensive and long awaited burrito! Boo! (NOTE: I like salt, but not when so strong and no other flavors like green chile...)

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!

Food is always good. Service is outstanding. Ambiance is quick order, college town food joint. Try their other location in Olde Towne Arvada for same good food with a hangout vibe.

Perfect hangover burrito even if you don't have a hangover. This was the first time I've been there. We tried two different burritos they were both great. quick service even though it looked like they were making a huge to go order. Will definitely come back next time. I'm in town.

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!

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.

Always loved this place! Miss the nostalgia of the trailer and the roasted chili smell! But that being said, this place is Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory of the burrito world!!

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

Used to be the goated burrito spot around town. Now it's like an hour wait. 30 minutes in line and 30 minutes waiting for food. You're better off elsewhere with the wait. You'd think when you're just making burritos it wouldn't be so long. Doesn't help that online orders make it worse too.

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

Best burritos in the West! Every time I come out to Denver and the mountains, I stop here for one of their incredible burritos. Can't beat it!

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 -

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

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.

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.

Good burritos. I had it for lunch. They have a nice space to have your food inside. Still lacked some flavor.

Friend recommended this place and it was fantastic. They have happy hour drinks from 1-3. Great ambience, almost like an outdoor dive bar. My classic bowl smothered in green chili was fantastic. The burritos seemed like a better deal. My son got the burro burrito, medium. It was too hot for him, so I happily ate the leftovers for dinner. Wife doesn't like spice and the mild classic was about perfect for her. Maybe a bit spicy but it was so good she said it was worth it Kids meals are a fantastic price as well. One kid has the rice and beens, no cheese, while the other 2 split a delicious quesadilla My tequila mule was fantastic as well. The guy at the register who I assume may be an owner was fantastic. Has my sense of humor. I could tell by the haircut. He may have seemed overwhelmed but when my wife wanted to make sure my daughter had no cheese on her rice and beans he said "don't worry, if someone messes it up, I'll fire them"

Always looking for a reason to go to Bonfire Burritos whenever in the Golden area whether post hike or putzing around with out-of-towners. FYI on Sundays, they only do breakfast burritos. We've gone a handful of times and there isn't a burrito I haven't liked. The breakfast burrito with chorizo and grilled pineapple was probably my breakfast favorite. I like that there's communal hot sauce on the tables to utilize as well. The atmosphere here is always popping, blasting electronic or fun music. It always looks like the staff is having fun working together. I'd say pro tip is to order ahead through their website associated with Toast if able. They have a separate pickup for online pickup orders and it's worth it on the weekends vs waiting in line to order. Excited to get another burrito soon!

On the record. Best breakfast burrito I have had in Denver since moving here in 1997. Chupacabra is magic, the original and Diesel Drip hot sauces are awesome, they have a bar, they have great tunes, and the red onion add was worth a buck or two. I can't speak for lunch, but this is a must in CO for a breakfast burrito. I didn't take a picture of the burrito with tinfoil off because I was too excited to eat it. They also ask for your temp choice. The hot is incredible, but be ready for it. Definitely recommend and see you there (next time I am out in Golden).

Wowza. Granted, I am a visitor to Colorado and I found this place by searching "best burritos" on Yelp. Still, I was impressed and my husband was making noises I usually only hear elsewhere as he ate. I felt the price was right for what we got, but we are from a high cost of living area so maybe this was expensive? We had three different kinds of meat the table and I sampled them all. My pork was beautifully melded with the beans and cheese and peppers provided the right amount of heat I requested. I was surprised at how good the chicken my kids ordered was - the spice on the chicken really stood out. The asada was also good, but I barely was able to steal a tiny bit from my husband. Highly recommend!

I was always a little skeptical because of the hype that Bonfire gets. I am glad that it does live up to the hype! Not going to lie, it is usually extremely busy and a little over priced. However, for a laid-back vibey breakfast, this is the spot to visit. Their burritos are delicious - specifically the chupacabra. The bowls are not that great compared to the amount you get on the burrito. My coworkers always request Bonfire when we get breakfast for the office. Definitely a solid spot!

Omg look no further, the food here is incredible! The vibes of the restaurant are super colorful and fun, very Austin-y. I got the Little Giant Javelina Breakfast Burrito. It was incredible, they let you substitute the meat for peppers, which is really nice for vegetarians. I got the 50/50 and that was pretty spicy. But the balance of pineapple and the soft burrito and the hash brown with eggs was so delicious. The sauce just tied it all together. They also have a super cute outdoor patio area where you can enjoy your food!

The Deluxor Burrito is no joke. It is a fantastic meat lovers dream. Caution, if you get it hot (fuego) it is awesome but guaranteed you will be tearing up and will need the 20 napkins they give you to wipe your eyes and nose. There is a reason this place stands alone. I will be back. Note: I love hot food and this was a sadistic hot lovers love and the flavor was awesome while LE stoking a fire within. Pure awesome.

Stopped by today on way back from airport . Great burrito as usual. I have to also had it out to the employees. Everyone actually seems like the Want to be there which is rare in todays world.

One of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. It took about 45 minutes on a Saturday morning, so I'd suggest ordering ahead if you're in a rush

This place is insane. I always order a bonfire burrito when a coffee shop has them but going to the actual restaurant is next level. The food is always delicious and ingredients taste fresh. Everyone who works there is super friendly. The place is small but they have a nice outdoor area that you can eat at. This was the first place that my husband and I went to when we had our baby and it was the perfect place to have a casual day out. Love bonfire!

First time here and the burritos were amazing! The burritos are heafty, they're very full and they do not skimp you on the meat! The green chili got me, the have mild, medium, and hot. I like spice and the medium had me sweating. They serve alcohol and it's rather inexpensive, they also have a weekday happy hour. The have ample seating, covered patio and outdoor patio. I would love if they had misters, it gets a little hot in the summer. They play good music and it's an environment I'd love to hangout in for a while. The staff was friendly, helpful with direction and recommended an excellent burrito - the burro!

Located on the north side of Golden, Bonfire is the local version of Chipotle. Firstly, parking is adjacent to the building but is usually full so you'd need to find street parking nearby and walk over. They have bar seating and outdoor seating but it's busy and somewhat chaotic. We ordered in person and took us 30 minutes before we got our food. That's a bit disappointing; the assembly line style method should be much more efficient even when counting the online orders. Calling in your order is definitely the way to go. Portions are pretty big for a $12 burrito; you should be full with one. We got the chupacabra and burro with medium spice green chili. The burro was the favorite out of the two and the green chili is a nice touch. Not the greatest thing you've ever eaten but a good portioned burrito that will fill you up.

Sorry, just not my kind of burritos! Not much flavor. Green chili is a bit weak. Just my opinion. Much better burrito shops out there! So my review needs at least 85 characters. Add a few more thoughts so I'm able to speak my thoughts. WOW...

Truly a gem in disguise. Although I do enjoy fine dining to some extent, some of my favorite places are actually hole in the walls like this place. Researching about Colorado known cuisines, I quickly learned that Colorado is a taco town. I stumbled across this place on my way to the Denver International Airport and was pleasantly surprised. The unique sauce has a bland of cotija cheese that I've never tasted before. The sauce truly makes the tacos and bowls here. Bonfire Burritos is also convenient located near the Coors Beer Brewery and is conveniently the closest location to get taste the Coors Beer straight from the Brewery without actually going in. We opted for the "Coors Banquet" Beer during happy hour and it was quite yummy. I am not usually a beer gal, but the beer did not have the usually pee taste if you know what I mean, so I would recommend to stop by for a delicious burrito/bowl/taco and chase it down with some cold beer. The service was also amazing. The employees take the time to remember your names which definitely adds a nice personal touch.

The breakfast burritos are fantastic. Lots of flavor and they don't skimp on the fillings. I ordered pick up and my burritos were ready by the time I got there right minutes later. Staff was very friendly. Also, check them out at DIA concourse B. Ate 1/2 before I left and the rest on the plane. Best meal in the air.
