El Burro Loco at The Mercantile

We were in town to see the Ice Castles and were looking for a food option that would be relatively quick, and we didn't necessarily want to have to go into a casino to get food. My husband loves Mexican food so we decided to give this a try. The loaded nachos were SO GOOD and I was very pleased with this choice (I chose chicken for the protein option). The pico does have quite a bit of fresh jalapeño in it, which tends to hurt my stomach so I picked it out. Just note you might want to ask for easy or no pico if you're sensitive to that like I am. The hubs got the Birria tacos and they were tasty as well, though a few meat chunks were a bit chewy/fatty. But the flavor was fantastic!Note this is take out only with nowhere to sit in The Mercantile. If the Cafe next door isn't super busy, you can grab a table and eat in there. We ate at a little table outside and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine. Overall we would highly recommend and will definitely be repeat customers if we end up in the area again.

One of the best shops I have been in. Many great options to sort through. Shirts, dog collars, candles, mugs, home decor, essential oils, hats, sauces, glassware, and much more.

This place is absolutely amazing. I don't have anything bad to say about it. The employees are all so kind and welcoming and this burrito is almost the size of my head. For 11 bucks...I feel like I've robbed them. Haha It's very delicious!!!! The churros are really delicious as well. If your diet can include sweets, I recommend. This town is very beautiful.

Great Mexican food in Cripple Creek? I just never saw that coming! We got the pork tacos and were NOT disappointed. The pork was moist and flavorful, not fatty, and had that crispy exterior that only someone without tastebuds wouldn’t enjoy.The portions of black beans and rice were insanely generous and we loved mixing them together to create the perfect amount of flavor and heat.Looking forward to many more Loco food adventures!

The food has no taste is disgusting. I order to fish tacos. Why put the foil with the tacos inside on top of the beans and rice. Worst $43 dollars I ever spent.. gross gross gross

This place was recommended by coworkers. All i have to say is Yum! I was able to place my order online for pickup easily. The tacos were amazing! So was the smothered burrito! I'm so excited to go back again! As a local, you've got my business! 😁😁😁😁😁

Living locally, I always try to support our businesses. Of the 5 times I've ordered from El burro, my order has been correct twice. Last night's being the last straw! I ordered a bowl, fine. My companion ordered the double dilla..I got home with a single "dilla" with one quarter of the quesodilla completely empty! How do you screw up a quesodilla????Never again

I literally just finished a double quesadilla from El Burro Loco and it was DELICIOUS!! I'm originally from Texas, so I'm pretty picky about my Mexican food, but this was great and so much food (the picture is 1 of 4 slices) I could only eat half. I will definitely be ordering from there again!!

So glad to have a quick delicious option for pick up in town. The portions are hearty and affordable! The meat was fresh and delicious. The shrimp was super tasty. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

The food is OK but the customer service... omg sucks overpriced for what you get. Don't dare order a special request. You WONT get it. Happened to me twice. I don't know if they don't care or just don't care to listen

Not casino food! Very, very good food that they should charge more for. And friendly to boot.

Pork tacos and quesadillas were a hit. Avoid the steak burrito- it was pure fat!!
