Took a two week summer road trip vacation and this restaurant is the one place we can’t stop talking about. Talk about an out of this world incredible place to eat. So here’s how it happened…we were taking a trip to Colorado and my mom and I had seen Fort Morgan get renovated on that HGTV show so we wanted to come and support. To be honest, it had been a long day and we were all kind of hangry but we made the hour long drive to check things out. We didn’t know where to eat so I started checking reviews and The Rooster had great ones so we said let’s go. As we drove into town I felt like we were driving out of the down town area and passing all of the food places around Main Street and I wondered if we had messed up with our choice. But a few minutes later we pulled up at this place and while it wasn’t much to look at, we were excited to give it a chance. Ever have those moments where something happens and you are like, wow … this is about to be incredible … well I had that moment when we walked in and this lade fired up this huge ancient metal tortilla maker machine. I was like, okay, this might be good. Then the girl behind the counter showed me about 70 different options between meats, toppings, salsas and more. I was overwhelmed so I said how about a few tacos and some rice and beans. Here’s when I had another one of those, this is about to hit different, kind of moments. The girl grabbed my corn tortilla and dipped it in the juices where the birria meat was being stored and then threw it on a griddle to cook for a few minutes. Let’s just say, your girl was drooling at this point. She gave me two HUGE tacos and about 2 cups of beans and rice. It was wild. I went to the outside covered area to grab a table (we were the only people dining in, although many people came in and ordered to-go) and when my boyfriend came in the room with his plate I couldn’t believe it. His burrito was like the size of his head. Like a bag of flour. Like it barely fit on the large dixie plate they served it on. And the food tasted incredible. They really put their heart and soul into this food. Best of all…it was so cheap. Too cheap. I felt bad and left a bigger than normal tip because they are under-charging. Y’all better get out to Fort Morgan and try these under $10 burritos before they get smart and double their prices. Best food of the entire trip. Hands down. 10 out of 10 stars. To the moon and back. This place is the real deal.
