As a certified Breakfast Burrito connoisseur, literally one of my all time fav foods, how could I…read morevisit Golden and not check out Bonfire Burritos. Loved the vibe of this place and the guy who took my order was super cool and chill. Upon studying the menu, I instantly appreciated that they include hash browns and a sauce INSIDE the burrito. Cannot stand a dry and eggy breakfast burrito. Plus the crisp and crunch of the hash browns always adds another dimension to the experience. My chupacabra with extra cheese and chipotle crema had outstanding flavor and checked so many boxes. My only issue with it is that I didn't get the crunch from the hash browns that I was hoping for and the texture inside the burrito was a bit soupy/mushy. Maybe that's because of the extra crema. No biggie. I totally recommend this place and if we ever come back to Golden, I'm definitely giving Bonfire another go. Oh and if you're a fan of all things spicy, get it Fuego. Wasn't too bad for me on the heat but the flavor was great!

The space itself is quite small, with just a few indoor tables and some seating out front to people watch. What really stood out was the warm, welcoming staff. Service was quick, and everything came out fresh and hot. We tried the beef super arepa and the pork pupusa--both were packed with flavor and seriously satisfying. The only miss for us was the coconut lemonade, which leaned more bitter than refreshing. That said, it didn't take away from the overall experience. The menu is on the smaller side, but honestly, that works in its favor--everything feels intentional and well-executed. Definitely a spot we'll be returning to, especially to work our way through the rest of the menu.

This restaurant is the best!!!…read more I come here often and get their vegetarian arepa. The flavors are delicious, it's a nice filling casual meal, and it's not too expensive. The actual shop is quite small but I rarely have an issue getting a table. It's run by a cute duo and they work nearly all the hours. Also, they are only open for lunch hours. I wish they did dinner too but I wouldn't want the duo to overwork themselves.

We recently moved to the Golden area and have been on the hunt for a great Mexican restaurant…read more After trying a few spots nearby, Birriería Donna Maria has quickly become our go-to. The food is consistently excellent. We've ate here four times so far and haven't been disappointed once. My personal favorites so far are the enchiladas and the fajitas. In my opinion a lot of places tend to overcook the meat in fajitas, but not here. The meat has always been tender, and the seasoning is spot-on. The staff at Donna Maria are professional, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant space itself isn't huge, but it's comfortably sized, and we've never had to wait for a table. If you're in the Golden area and craving quality Mexican food, this place is definitely worth checking out.

There's nothing better than a nice bowl of birria consomme. The best thing to do is to order the birria consomme or soup and make your own birria ramen at home.

I was recommended the golden mill by many people when visiting golden and had to give a try! On…read morefirst glance, it is located right along the river that goes through the town, which is an amazing view. Once inside there is a first floor that has a few different food options as well as the pour your own beer options as well. In order to partake in the beer option, you need to get a card that you can tap to the machine and you pay per the ounce. They have other drinks beside beer on tap as well such as different types of cocktails. They have a great food selection. That includes many different varieties of food throughout the venue as well. The top floor also has a few additional beer options as well as food options. I decided to go with a barbecue option which I got a brisket sandwich which was really good as well as a side of fries and some of the barbecue sauce. I also got a beer on top from one of the local breweries. It was a chilly day out, but I still wanted to sit on the patio on the top deck, so we sat by a fireplace. They have a ton of different fireplaces, all throughout the top deck as well as the lower deck as well so sitting outside was an option for the time of the year that I was there which was March. Maybe in the dead of the winter they don't have this option but just keep that in mind. Anyways, I thought the view of the course brewery factory right across the way was really cool to see as well. The food was really good and I love getting beer by the ounce because if you don't like the beer, you can just get a different one and you don't have to make a whole glass pour every time you get one. I definitely would recommend the golden mill. It definitely seems like a place that a lot of locals hang out and there is a food or beverage option for everyone so even picky eaters would love this place. If you are in Golden, you have to visit!

This is a real toss up for me. We were with a visitor who had been there when in Golden for a…read moreconference and thought we would like the concept of a food hall and like the sort of food she had there in the past. I am familiar with food halls at home in Boulder that I like and frequent regularly. This was nothing like them in so many ways. It was obvious that this is lived locally but in a holiday it was so ham packed that it was unpleasant for a newcomer to negotiate. Yes, for beer lovers the concept of self serve from the many taps and pay by the ounce Baxter so many in stock is novel, but I don't drink beer or margaritas and I could not find a simple ice tea. There were sodas from a machine which also did not suit me either. The concept of the scan card seems good for the cafeteria atmosphere and the beer supply but the food places did take credit cards, where at least you see the receipt etc. you leave the card in a box when you leave and they charge the credit card you entered to get it. No real review apparently by the customer. Most of the food I saw in menus and the tables were not my style either, huge portions of mediocre looking food. My husband had trouble figuring it part of the ingredient in the biggest burrito I have ever seen. He could not pick it up fore the crema decorating the tortilla which was thicker than any I've ever seen. On the other hand, my food was fairly good though grease dripped out at every bite. It was a Gordita made with crisp little corn cakes and the al pastor filling was tasty. The others in the group all had large portions of unappealing to me food so I did not taste and far too. Big for a healthy lunch. While we were eating at compared communal tables , the restrooms across from them were propped open for the steady stream of users. But on a holiday weekend a prime lunch time when we arrived, it was the only option. The entry line to get the pay card was nearby and the line went up the stairs to the entry with at least 20 to get and register the card, many with children in tow. Our guest knew where to park so that was no problem jf you are willing to pay to park for a meal. We were, but would have lived a quality meal and not a madhouse. The only staff person I spoke with because her food was dessert and not peak season for ice cream was so friendly and helpful and mad a custom snack size of her New Zeland style treat. She saved the day for me. I will not return but others in our party might should the occasion arise and clearly the locals who are regulars keep them well supported. I will stick with my local more intimate and curated food hall kitchens.
