Colorado Taco Co.

You'd think a place named Colorado Taco Co. would spend its mornings tossing rounds of masa from hand to hand, forming fat little tortillas to fold around carne asada and pico de gallo, but you'd be wrong -- delightfully, deliciously wrong. Instead, Italian eatery Americatus has branched out in a big way early in the morning, making a foray into that most Colorado of breakfast dishes: the breakfast burrito. Although the menu is tiny, offering just five varieties (bacon, Hatch chile-chicken sausage, chorizo, carnitas and vegetarian black bean), the sausage is ground in-house, and the quality of the fillings makes all the difference. In other words, these aren't your standard two-buck bombs. Colorado Taco Co. also serves up another distinctly non-taco dish: buttermilk doughnuts. With breakfast treats this good, you definitely won't miss the salsa.
