We drove two hours to try The Golden Burro after reading an article that stated the new owners had made just a few changes to the menu. Unfortunately, there was not a single plant-based or gluten-free option available — a huge step backwards, especially in a state as inclusive as Colorado. On top of that, the entire place reeked of ammonia. It was so strong we couldn’t even smell the food, and I felt like it lingered with me long after we left. I absolutely appreciate a clean restaurant, but not at the expense of an overpowering chemical smell. Disappointing overall.

Wow! I was not expecting to find a fully-vegan and very allergy-friendly restaurant and bakery like this in Leadville. The entire menu is marked with common allergens (gluten, nuts, soy, etc). I was really impressed with all the gluten free options, plus they have a dedicated fryer if you ask. Everything was great, but the egg rolls stole the show!
