Was it good for you? October 14 was Denver's first Official Breakfast Burrito Day; Mayor Michael Hancock recently declared that the second Saturday of every October will celebrate breakfast burritos, and he hyped the homegrown Santiago's chain in touting the city's Mexican food scene.

By far, Santiago's is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Denver.
Responds Jonathan:

Adds Nancy:

I love that this says "hand held burritos" because smothered burritos are an entirely different category!
And Dawn says simply:
Reason #1203729148 why I love Denver.
