I'm sad that I have adventured all around this restaurant for at least 12 years and only now, this…read more26th cycle of the 21st century, made my way into its doors. I'm always searching for a place that offers breakfast burritos, green chili, and a broader meat option for breakfast. After my dual personalities finished their wrestling match over choosing the food available to prepare at home (btw Da Big Spenda won the match), I made my way to Tacos La Morenita. I walked into a dimly lit, clean, organized place with futbol on the tv, music playing, and staff gathered near the bar. I was greeted immediately and requested a menu since I couldn't quickly locate what I was looking for on the LED-lit menu on the wall above the register. On the menu, I saw the breakfast burrito allowed for non-traditional meat to be added to include chicken which always brightens my heart to see (Ms. Piggy shouldn't still dominate breakfast foods & we don't all consume beef regularly). I decided to order a breakfast burrito with asada beef (my arteries were craving excitement), green chili inside. The wait was around five minutes for a freshly prepared burrito with a side of salsa verde. When I returned home, I opened the burrito and took my first delicious bite. :O:O ... How delightful! The inside was nicely gooey with the green chili and cheese inside. The eggs were fresh and hot. The asada was chopped more finely than I'm used to in a breakfast burrito which was pleasantly surprising as they meshed very well with the shredded potatoes which are my Favorite style of potatoes in a breakfast burrito. Then...the Salsa Verde... Everyone around here does their version of this salsa. I'm rarely satisfied with it. Many are just a very liquid, not very flavorful, small to mid 'pica' in my existence. I was expecting the same here. I noted the difference in appearance and texture right away when opening the container. Yes, it's green. Yes, it's salsa but it had more substance than most I've encountered around Denver metro. More similar to restaurant style. The seeds were also more plentiful as if it was a freshly made batch. I drizzled a bit on a corner of the burrito and took a bite. :O:O:O...The dance of flavor on my tongue made my booty wiggle. This salsa is seriously a standout. It is milder but what it lacks in spice it makes up for in flavor. I mean, I would be interested in purchasing jars of this salsa just like I do from Yolanda's Tacos. As I stated, I'm sad I've waited so long, passing this place time and again, without trying it all these years. Now, that I know what it's been hiding, I will definitely visit again for the breakfast burritio but look forward to exploring the rest of the menu, as well.
