This place is so good. Somewhat of a hole in the wall but such a gem. My office often goes here for breakfast burritos and I've been hooked since the first time we went. The staff working are always extremely polite and your food is ready extremely quickly. I highly recommend their breakfast burritos. Their other food looks great though! read more

The best breakfast burrito I've ever had!!!! The portion size is huge for a great price. If you're in Denver, La Fuente is a must!

The staff here is super friendly and their breakfast burritos can't be beat. Get the pork tamale deluxe breakfast burrito - you won't be sorry! A pork tamale with eggs and potatoes wrapped in a tortilla smothered in green chili sauce and topped with lettuce and tomatoes. This is my favorite burrito place in Denver - just writing this is making me very hungry! read more

Great place and customer service! I had a chorizo burrito with eggs and my uncle had a breakfast burrito, we were both satisfied! Their green chili sauce and salsa were pretty amazing! read more

Amazing! I had a michelada, the posole and a smothered carnita and bean burrito. The service was fantastic! I've lived in Colorado my entire life and for some reason came across this little gem late in the game. I ate there two weeks ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since! I'm really big on atmosphere and I almost didn't go to this place because it seemed like a hole-in-the- wall joint but it's not. Highly recommend! read more

Great breakfast egg, bacon, and papas breakfast plate. The green chili sauce was amazing! Thanks for the great service!

La Fuente is AMAZING! And luckily it's right down the street from my house. Cute little inside, large, cheap, delicious breakfast burritos and horchata. Great service. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

I went just because of the Yelp reviews and was completely satisfied with my meal. Service was timely and quality was everything it had been touted to be. A little divey and needing ambiance, but was clean and quiet. read more

Very disappointed with this restaurant. The reviews were great, but the food did not live up to our expectations. We both got burritos and they were poorly put together, had only a couple pieces of meat, and had very sad lettuce/tomatoes. The flavor itself was decent, but nothing seemed fresh. No salsa bar, radishes, jalapeños, etc. Almost $10 for a burrito, we expected a lot more from it and will not be returning. read more

This place is the best! Staff is awesome, hot sauces are great and the carnitas are the best in town!

I've been here 20 times for breakfast, tried dinner. Whoops, food was being microwaved as I came in. Only to get it home and have it be cold and so salty I trashed it. Last time at this restaurant. read more

Under new ownership within the last year. Stopped in for lunch today. Seated right away. Had the chicken enchiladas. So good! Good chips and salsa and excellent service! I'll be back! read more

This is quite possibly the best breakfast I've ever had. Delicious burrito. Green Chile sauce- spicy, sweet, great texture. Eggs & Chorizo & beans, perfect balance, beans are refried, great flavors and spice level. read more

As another reviewer pointed out, it's a miracle that this place has so much internet reputation, because the shop itself always seems to be quiet when I need it even though their fandom is massive! The storefront is so small that I had been using a bus stop directly in front of it for a few months without even noticing it ... until that fateful morning, when I was in desperate need of breakfast. I had precisely four minutes until the #44 was due (and as all RTD riders know, buses only arrive on time when you count on them being a moment late, and only arrive a minute late when you hope they don't). I needed fuel -- good fuel. I had literally run to make my first bus and left the house without breakfast, and was about to endure an arduous work day. I scanned the area urgently -- Starbucks? No food of substance, and certainly not without costing an arm and a leg, and I needed those. Chicken place? They were always slammed and slow, and ALL the way across the street -- there was no way it would work out in time. Suddenly, behind me, overshadowed by the glamour and banners of a pretty fantastic head shop, I realized that the little thing on the end that looked like a tiny hole-in-the-wall general store was totally a Mexican restaurant ... and it had a sign for breakfast burritos. Knowing those might be pre-formed, and therefore instant, I let out an internal "HELL YEAH", and investigated. The empty shop held only a friendly young chick at the counter, and a smiley older lady back at the grill. I announced, "I have exactly three minutes until the bus is due -- can I get a burrito?" and the girl said "Yes, definitely!" While I contemplated ingredients and rapidly settled on chorizo, she relayed my order to the older lady, and I could tell she conveyed the urgency of my situation, as the older lady started whipping up fresh ingredients on the grill faster than I could even keep track of. The prices included tax, which was awesome for my mental math purposes. I'd used my only cash on bus fare, and asked if $3.75 was enough for a debit card or if I needed to pick up something else. Helpfully and accommodatingly, knowing I was in a hurry, the cashier insisted that I didn't need to worry about it, so I tipped $2 to bring the adjusted total over $5 because I felt bad for the low amount. I figured that their willingness to hurry for me, and the great smell in the shop, suggested that this would not be a wasted statement of a tip. We exchanged our thanks, I was handed a big heavy hot mess of amazingness, and I scurried out front to the stop. And ... wow. Wow, man. Dat burrito, tho. Wow. The cheese was totally melted and everything was well-mixed and obviously freshly cooked and perfectly seasoned and perfectly integrated and barely held itself together and ohhhh maaaannn they make a fine breakfast burrito. I poked my head back in, told them the burrito was amazing and I'd see them again soon ... and was back the next night with my boyfriend! The same waitress and same cook were there, and the waitress remembered me (I had just dyed my hair in between visits, too, so mad props to her ... I can't recognize people ever to begin with, let alone on Difficulty Level: Restaurant and people using cheat codes like dyeing hair!), and she was honored to have us back after my first visit. My boyfriend got fajitas, and if I recall correctly, asked for them with a meat which they weren't listed with on the menu, but it was accommodated without trouble. I got the green chile or something else equally memory-wipingly good, and we tried the flan (I like softer flans rather than firmer ones normally, but the flavor is great and my boyfriend likes the firm styles and theirs is his favorite he's had) and everything was just so damn good. There was a small rush right after we arrived and ordered, and the same cashier was the to-go/counter/waitress/everything-but-the-cook, and she still somehow managed to handle everyone in a reasonable time. We were very impressed with the quality of the food (oh man ... dat obviously-homemade salsa with the chips, mmm) and the affordability. I had to double-check that the waitress remembered to charge us for the bottled Coke (hell yes, Mexican Coke!) because the bill worked out to be at least five dollars less than I had guessed (yay for including taxes). We needed an "our Mexican food place", and La Fuente is it. Don't blink or you'll miss it (we didn't even know the name of the place until I looked it up so I could review it) ... and you definitely don't want to miss it. Dang it, now I'm hungry. read more

La Fuente definitely serves one of the top 3 breakfast burritos I have had in Denver. I just finished my first one five-minutes ago, and I do not even need time to think about it. Also had the chile cheese hash browns (not really hash browns, just potatoes), and they were very good as well. I had the half-and-half chile, and it had great flavor but not much heat so next time (there WILL be a next time, VERY SOON) I will probably go with the hot. Prefiero mi boca ser en fuego cuando estoy comiendo la comida mexicana. ¡Puede sentirme! read more

Great food. Friendly service. Authentic Denver Mex. Get a side of fried potatoes for the chili.

I am so surprised that there are not a lot more reviews about this place. La Fuente has the best burritos I've had in Denver. Everything I have had so far has been tasty, cheep with generous portions. The breakfast burritos have the best balance of meat, potatoes and egg. Get it smothered with some of the best Green Chili in town. YUM SAUCE!! read more

Solid breakfast burritos. The burritos are ready in about 2 minutes post order. The burritos have no frills, i.e. eggs, potatoes, green chili (hot or mild), and meat choice. The restaurant is fairly small, with some odd trinkets and items around for purchase, like chihuahuas holding salt shakers and cowboy killer lights. The other items on the menu are pretty standard, I tried the chili rellenos and was not disappointed, deep fried peppers filled with cheese and smothered in green chili. Delicious. read more

This place used to be my go to burrito spot. In the last 2 years it has went downhill . What happened to this place ?? I hope the owners read these reviews . Something has changed . The breakfast burritos used to be the best . Last time I went in the burrito was not even half as good as they once were . Please stop changing for all these new people coming in . Go back to your old ways please . read more

Good hell these breakfast burritos are top notch. I'm not sure if it's just the hang over factor but they hit the spot. Having had a few varieties I would say the bacon or steak are the best with the hot chili. Like others have said it's a hole in the wall but don't be afraid ... the food is worth checking out. read more

Great place, recently have noticed a significant change in cleanliness and organization. The new staff is very attentive but never annoying. My favorite item is the Burritos; especially the (improved)Green Chili, Bacon and Chorizo. read more

Friendly staff. Amazing borito. Timely service. Best bank for your buck around town. I got the ham and egg breakfast borrito for $5. In and out in under 10 minutes read more

Normally someone who likes to get something different on the menu every time I visit a place, La Fuente sold me with their breakfast burritos on day 1 and I've never strayed from that pattern. I know nothing of their full meals, drinks or service. I stop by on my way into work when I am super hungry and this always hits the spot. Each breakfast burrito is $4 and I think it is safe to say it is 5x the size and quality of Santiago's $1 breakfast burritos. A good deal no matter what. Combined with the fact that these burrito's are assembled AFTER ordering and La Fuente is now far ahead of the competition. Their hot sauce is good - actually hot but with flavor. The burritos are made quite quickly - usually less than a 3 minute wait (just enough to check on work emails sent overnight before getting back in the car) before I'm back on my way. I'd say I'm typically in and out in under 5 minutes. The staff is always cheery & friendly. The place is never so busy that I feel put out waiting but there are often 2-3 other people ordering just before or after me. They seem to have just the right flow of patrons. Yes, the place is dated and a bit run down. Yes, signage (and spelling) could use some work, but the breakfast burritos are legit, fast, and a good size for the price. read more

I thought it was really good. I had a pork burrito, smothered. Very tasty with the pork being shredded (++). I also had the tamales. While a little on the smaller side (2/$6) it was nice to see shredded pork in there too. Chips are good and homemade, salsa had a decent mix between heat and flavor. They also give you these side cups of salsas that offer different flavors to add, one of which being a habanero sauce. I'll be back if I'm in the area. The kids liked what they order too. Very little left to bring home. On the menu, I did notice that the table menu is missing a considerable number of dishes that they have on the board. That's unfortunate because I think that's where most of the specials reside (on the wall). I could be wrong but I'll spend more time there next time. Thumbs up for the little neighborhood gem. read more

Delicious neighborhood Mexican spot. Had the deluxe chorizo breakfast burrito and really enjoyed it. When ordering keep in mind that hot is hot. Great friendly staff - Perla really took care of us. read more

Solid breakfast burrito! Only made it half way through and I am STUFFED. The green chile rocks too!

The deluxe style breakfast burrito with the jalapeños is truly what's up! So good that I'm still thinking about it.... mmmm.

Great breakfast burritos. Pretty fast for on the go. Entire menu looks awesome definitely give this place a try

My #1 choice for breakfast burritos. So good, green chile is always right on, and their service is fast and friendly!

Incredibly mediocre food. My $10 meal didn't come with rice and beans. Pretty disappointed. Shoulda got pizza. Service was friendly.

I too visited La Fuente due to the great Yelp reviews. I would definitely say that I am a fan...but it didn't know my socks off. The chips and salsa were very good...but I was there before 6 pm and they ran out of chips. The service couldn't have been any friendlier. I ordered my regular that I order at every Mexican restaurant...a beef and bean burrito with a sauce on top. Again, I am a fan...but I have had better. There was too little meat and too many beans for me. I would have liked to see more of the very good meat! Will I go back? Yes...to try out breakfast and get more chips and salsa. read more

A Mexican restaurant that knows how to cook diner-style, American breakfast? Yes, please.

This place is a tiny hole-in-the-wall but that's why it's good. They do great breakfast burritos. The bacon they use is thick, smokey and not too salty. Their green chili is nice and hot, too. (I think they have a milder version if you're not a chile head) Their tamales are also good, and around the holidays they sell them by the bag full. I also love the fact that they have their little general store in the display case, selling everything from smokes to hot sauce to Mexican candy. The prices are reasonable. The only draw back is they close around 6:30 or 7, so if you plan on getting dinner, get there early. read more

Love this place! Simple great food for a great deal and yes the service is awesome!

I can't believe I have not been here yet -- lived in NW Denver for almost 20 years but it took moving in around the corner to get me into La Fuente. I am so glad we went and we will definitely be back. The food and service were great! Thanks for doing what you do! read more

Best breakfast burrito in town period. Very friendly, very authentic hole in the wall ma and pop shop, but they know how to make some good green chili. There are at least 20 other places within 2 miles of this place to get a green chili burrito, but they are by the fast the best. read more

I eat here about once a week. Great food comes out fast from kitchen. Fast friendly service. Prices not great. $4 for breakfast burrito but well worth it. Green chile here is very good read more

I go here at least once a week for a breakfast burrito. Always extremely consistent and one of the best in town. Crispy bacon and their famous sauce makes it the bomb read more

A neighborhood favorite - one of the best kept secrets in North Denver! Always friendly, best green chili in town, have sampled several things on the menu and it has all been fantastic. Highly recommended! read more

Great authentic Mexican - homemade tortillas and delicious green chile. Mary was a very nice server.
