Santiago's Mexican Restaurant in Denver, Colorado
I'm really, really surprised that most things that I've seen written about local food in Denver do not make more mention of "Mexican Hamburgers." See, the name is a bit of a misleading. It should probably be called a "Colorado Hamburger" since it's basically only available in Colorado. Nonetheless, this small chain serves Mexican Hamburgers (and their green chile is apparently quite famous), so I came down to an outlet for breakfast today.
So what the heck is that "hamburger'? Well, it has a hamburger patty inside, and the taste of this one here was beefy with a nice char on the sides. But it's shoved into a half-folded tortilla, making it more like an omelette than a burrito or burger. And then it's smothered in green chile. This shop had a hot or mild option, so I went for the former, which provided some heat. But the sauce was otherwise rather tasteless, and thus nothing like the wonderfully rich one at D'Corazon.
