Los Trompitos
Los Trompitos is proof that some of Aurora’s Mexican food can stand up against Denver’s finest. This white-and-red structure on Montview Boulevard contains many Mexican mainstays — a salsa bar, tacos, and so on — but the breakfast burritos are worth sampling at least once. The biggest difference between these breakfast burritos and all the others has everything to do with ratio: Priced at bargain-basement prices, the pudgy, foil-wrapped marvels are stuffed with equal amounts of soft-scrambled eggs, melty cheese, crisp-edged potatoes, salty meat — bacon, sausage or chorizo — and searing green chile, which means that whether you’re on your first bite or your last, you’ll get a combustion of flavor with every chew. It’s a terrific breakfast burrito, superseded only by the spread of irresistible salsas, which pack a rigorous amount of heat.
