We love the interior decoration and style. Birria tacos and guac were super fresh and delicious. My son loved the chicken taco with rice and dessert Flan. Service was very fast and clean, and the place was kid-friendly. I also saw a local sheriff dining there, which is a good sign. I'm glad we took a ride from Chapel Hill to try something else.

Your restaurant was a lovely, welcoming, bright respite in between errands this afternoon. Thank you for having gluten-free and dairy-free options that are simple and delicious. I enjoyed your salsa and chips and the grilled fish tacos on corn tortillas. The renovated interior is very nice; clean and bright. The service was thoughtful and expedient.

We had the Enchilada Verde and Steak Fajita Bowl. Both were delicious. This was our first time visiting, and we will be back.

Colorado Burrito is our favorite local for Mexican food. The food is always fresh and yummy. We haven't had anything we didn't like! I love their grilled chicken - the spice seasoning is so good - rich/fresh/not spicy. My husband is a huge fan of their burritos - the TriColor Burrito is a great mix of flavors and the presentation is always great - and it it HUGE - it doesn't come with sides...and you don't need them! :-) A recent discovery is their Bean Dip starter - it is some fantastic refried beans with layer of queso on top! Fantastic! The service is quiet - they don't chat much - which is fine - they are speedy and attentive. The restaurant is clean - the lights in the dining room are quite bright - so if you are looking for a lil chill time with your partner, request a table in the bar area.

I’ve been coming here since they first opened, each time I’m always greeted so kindly. The food is always delicious and reasonably priced. Every experience is always great one coming here. Love the workers and the cooks.

I went when they were not busy so the service was great! I was seated right away because there was no wait. I checked to see if they had low carb options and they do. Pictured is the chicken fajita bowl. It wasn't too spicy for me and I can't take the spicy stuff! The waiter was friendly and checked on me a few times. The only thing needed is a way to "drown out" conversations around you. Since there was no crowd, the conversations seemed to echo.

So here's the scoop: A friend and I visited the Hillsborough Riverwalk and decided to grab lunch afterward. The options seemed slim, so we decided to give Colorado Burrito a try. As visitors from Raleigh, we didn't expect anything fancy, but that would soon be our biggest mistake. Colorado Burrito, BLEW US AWAY!!! The host was very kind, and the establishment was absolutely adorable! The decor is fun and beautiful, and the natural sunlight from the big windows was giving all that it needed to give! We were served tortilla chips and delicious salsa immediately after sitting down, and our drinks came soon after. I asked if they served Birria tacos since I didn't see them on the menu. Our waitress told me she would need to ask the kitchen staff and returned promptly with a 'yes'! We had just enough time to finish our first big basket of chips and salsa when our meals came to the table. My immediate reaction after just seeing my plate was borderline emotional. Yall.... this food looked like it jumped right off of a magazine and it smelled just as delicious. After the first bite of my tacos, I literally JUMPED UP and did a praise dance!!! It was my first time trying Birria from a restaurant and could easily tell that recipe came from someone's grandma! I was making such a big fuss about my plate that my homegirl tried it for herself and she pretty much didn't want was on her own plate after the first bite lol Every single bite of that food was outrageously delicious! When the waitress came back to check on us, yall, I literally got up and HUGGED HER! And told her to send that hug to the cooks in the back! CUZZZ HONEYYYY!!! That food sent me into worship!!! To the staff at this incredible establishment, I applaud every single one of you. From the service to the food to the atmosphere, 10/10! This has officially become THE STAPLE restaurant for TACOS in our lives and hopefully many others in the future!
