Blackbelly
4324 W 41st Ave, Denver, CO 80212
Overview
It was a lovely summer morning in Denver, the kind that practically demands a family stroll and a mission for breakfast. This marked my first encounter with Blackbelly, and I arrived with high hopes and an empty stomach. The goal was simple: fresh air, quality bonding, and a BB that could stand up to the occasion.
Detailed Breakdown
1Tortilla
6/10Sadly, the wrap felt like it was having a store-bought identity crisis. It was a bit mushy and lacked the structural integrity required for a high-stakes breakfast.
2Use of Potatoes
8/10Now, we are talking Tater Tots. While the quantity was slightly aggressive—perhaps a few too many for one human to handle—the choice of tot over diced potato is a victory I will celebrate daily.
3Texture
7/10It was a tug-of-war between the mushy exterior and some genuinely fluffy eggs. It wasn't exactly a textural masterpiece, but the eggs fought a brave and airy fight.
4Flavor
9/10This is where Blackbelly truly shines. The carnitas were a flavor bomb, and the internal green chili provided the kind of zesty support system every breakfast burrito deserves.
5General
8/10A few structural failures and a potato overflow couldn't sink this ship. The flavors were all there, making this a very respectable debut that I'd happily repeat.
