Fantastic smothered breakfast burrito! The pork chile was flavorful and not overly salty. Good amount of bacon and the option to add potatoes inside. Cobb salad was huge and super generous with toppings and the spicy ranch was tasty. Burger also looked great and the fries were crispy and perfect. The service was amazing and frequently checked in on us and topped up our waters. read more

Great breakfast burrito. It was a little difficult to find, because the Yelp picture is out of date. It was definitely worth the trouble, though. read more

I moved near Fairplay in 2023 and it took me awhile to Find Mr. Burro Cafe ...not because it is hard to find ...but because I didn't travel much from my house (1/2 hour away) to Fairplay to visit restaurants. BOY! Am I glad that I've started to frequent Mr. Burro! Myra and Lula are co-owners of the restaurant and are on the floor serving every day (I think?) - definitely have a finger on the pulse! I am a creature of habit and tend to order the same things ...I've had the Bfast Burrito smothered, the Mountain Plate, and the Rueben (I asked them to leave it on the grill for a good toast) ...all three have been stellar. Portions are large and I always take something home. A friend turned me on to the Lavendar Latte ...so good! Please visit this locally-, woman-owned restaurant - you'll be glad you did! read more

Came in twice, waited 10+ minutes without so much as a hello from the staff. I have not successfully ordered anything at this establishment. Truly do not understand the positive reviews. read more

Stopped in for breakfast while visiting Fairplay and had a nice, easy meal. It's cute inside and has a welcoming ambiance - a place to hang for a bit or to swing by for a quick bite. We ordered the big breakfast burrito, side of veggie chili, and home fries. Everything tasted good and the burrito was enough to share between the 2 of us. Nice variety of flavor although I thought the chili was a little on the bland side. Service was attentive and friendly. An easy place to stop in while in Fairplay. read more

Really good food and service. We shared a veggie wrap and I'm glad we shared because the half portion was huge and a good for one person. The spicy ranch was so good as well. We also got a iced latte and the pumpkin spice frappe. The iced latte had a good coffee flavor. The inside was pretty hot so sitting outside was actually better. The outside has small and cute tables and shares a patio with the restaurant next door. Our server was so nice and friendly and we were able to get everything we needed. read more

HIDDEN GEM! and women owned Stopped here on a drive up to Telluride and I am so glad that we did. This spot is perfect for more intimate groups. They have two rooms you can sit in and someone will come up to you and take your order. Be prepared to take some food home as the portions are amazingly large. Perfect cozy spot. Will totally come back if I drive through Fairplay again. highly recommend. Overall 5/5 stars! read more

The reviews drew us in to try this Cafe and we are so glad we did. We love supporting small businesses and these ladies are working hard to be a success. Its not a big place and you are welcomed almost immediately when you step in. There was a warm glow coming from the fireplace and a warm greeting. We decided to split a peach smoothie & Grilled Chicken (warm) Caesar Wrap with chips. It was the perfect amount for us and so fresh. It is so refreshing to have great food, & service and warm hospitality. We wish them much success as it's only been 1.5yrs in operation and they are continually striving to do better and they are already good. read more

We took a drive out to Fairplay just for fun and decided we'd stop for a late lunch before turning around and driving back. We like the small, cozy places and picked Mr. Burro over the larger Mexican restaurant next door. Eating at Mr. Burro Cafe is like going to a friends to eat. The atmosphere is clean and relaxed and the food is prepared fresh while you wait. It's probably even a more relaxing experience in the winter if they use the fireplace that's in the main dining area and you order one of their fancy coffees. Their menu concentrates on fresh ingredients, good taste and less grease. You can't get a hamburger, but you can get delicious sandwiches, bagels, salads and wraps. They do serve a simple breakfast if you are so inclined and they have a glass case with freshly baked muffins. The case also had a huge cinnamon roll calling my name so I just had to bring it home for the next morning. In general this is just a wonderfully relaxing place to enjoy a fresh and delicious meal. read more

Who knew that such a cute little cafe existed in the middle of Fairplay? I was staying at an Airbnb with friends, and the place didn't have coffee as advertised, so we went on a grocery store adventure. En route, I insisted on trying Mr. Burro. The Peppermint Latte was delicious (also very sweet) and I'd want to try the food next time. Or just sit here for a few hours reading and marveling at the cozy décor. It's small, so not the best for large groups. read more

We were told to check this place out. It was worth the pretty drive from Breckenridge. It is a sweet cozy place! The peppermint mocha was exceptional. My husband got the chilaquiles.

After tasting the green chili I wish I had gone with the recommendation of the burrito. Highly recommend! read more

Top tier "women owned" breakfast and lunch place in Fairplay!! We were delighted with the food here. I had a blueberry muffin served with a drizzle of caramel on the plate along with a few fresh blueberries. I also tried the muffuletta sandwich with a side salad. My husband loved the lox sandwich with side salad as well. You get a choice of dressing with salads here, and the lettuce is shredded romaine. We would definitely stop here again when in Fairplay. The service is excellent. Both owners were working behind the counter and also bringing out the food. You order first, they bring it; and you pay at the end. There are two top and four top tables with beautiful decor including a fireplace. It's a very enjoyable space and they work very hard to make sure the customers are happy! Top Notch!!! read more

This is a cute location in Fairplay Colorado. It does not have a ton of space so i dont think it would be ideal for larger groups but you could call and in advance to see. It is cozy. There is not signage up to explain their policy so if you are not local to that town here is how it works. If you want to dine in, you need to just go sit at a table and then they will come take your order there. If you are doing a to go order than you go to the register that is there just inside the front door as you walk in. Gluten free and vegan its a little tough to find food. I got the hummus wrap with no wrap just as a salad, was expecting a bigger portion but was about half a plate with a small side of hummus and then half a plate of potato chips! Phew i didn't need that many chips. My friends got a cobb salad and some kind of salmon bagel thing. They got very large portions and ended up taking parts of their meal home. Food was tasty though. And servers wanted to please. read more

What a wonderful find! My wife and I live not too far from found ourselves looking fur a breakfast spot so we decided to drop in. We're so glad we did. We chose one of only a few tables in the main dining room, which is quite small. The place only seats about 15-20 max. We ordered coffee, which was quite good--not your average cup. We were both looking fur comfort food, so we decided to try the biscuits and gravy breakfast plate. I have to say that we both love a biscuits and gravy. We might even consider ourselves experts in the arena. This was top notch stuff. No tiny portions here. The gravy was thick and creamy, with a delicious texture and slathered over soft, delicate biscuits. It was absolutely divine! The eggs were perfect and the potatoes were seasoned just right. On top of that, the service was excellent! We had a great experience here and we're already looking forward to returning. The hard part will be ordering something different when we know how good the B&G is! read more

Finding Mr. Burro Cafe was a little bittersweet. As I pass through town, I always stop at KB's Kakery and Dorothy's Tamales, but this time around, I found out they were closed. A quick yelp later, and here we are, at Mr. Burro Cafe! This place is quaint, and the staff is super friendly. The place was hopping while we were there, and nearly all the tables were full when we arrived. Since we were ordering takeout, this was fine. We ordered a couple of #4 chorizo & potato Breakfast Burritos and the veggie breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. The burritos were pretty solid, a little small, but delicious. Eggs, potatoes, and chorizo in a charred tortilla, what more can you ask for!? The bagel sandwich as also great. Eggs and an assortment of veggies on a fresh everything bagel served with some seasoned skillet potatoes. So good! Our order was put together and ready to go in less than ten minutes, and the girls were supper sweet. I've got a new place to stop when I'm headed up fishing. read more

Needed a nice chill diner on the drive home after a nice trip in the mountains, and this place was highly rated. Almost TOO highly rated, I thought... Nope!! Rating is pretty on point keeping in mind this isn't a Michelin starred place. It's a diner, and pretty dang great one at that. The world needs more great diners. They had a great playlist of upbeat music from 60s onward, and the place looks absolutely pristine. The building is wood and very homey feeling. Framed history in the bathroom says the building was built in 1938 or so, and I wish the history was on the back of the menus because I wanted to read it but didn't want to hog the only bathroom! (Bathroom was sparkly clean, btw!) The waitresses helping us were absolute hustlers and whoever was cooking was setting some serious land-speed records for successful cooking and plating. I got the huevos rancheros, and they were honestly some of the best I've had in sometime. They used actual whole beans, not refried, and while I throw no shade to refried, the whole pintos were a really nice complement. Coffee was tasty and they gave me a to go cup as a refill for no extra charge. (Even gave me a cookie!) I will definitely come back here again. Gonna make it my favored place to stop through when I'm out this way. Food was excellent diner fare and the setting was cleaner than some hospitals I've been to. read more

Took a drive from the Denver area to Mount Princeton with some friends. We were looking for somewhere to stop for brunch/lunch and saw great reviews for Mr Burro Cafe and it DID NOT disappoint. First of all, our waitress was so so very kind and attentive. My friends all got drinks (lattes and smoothies) which they enjoyed. We all got bagel sandwiches which were so delicious. The cafe itself is quaint and very small town feeling while being very clean. Such an unexpected fine in this small town. Especially with multiple gluten free options! read more
