With this favorable location, "The Burrito Lady" stands to become even more successful in the Northern Colorado area. Coloradans do love a great Mexican dish, and she does have more than just burritos.

This is a great location, as it's easy to get to (off of Lemay and Harmony,) and there aren't many Mexican restaurants in that area. Plus, with all the fans of the Momma Perez Burritos food truck has, they'll be eager to see the restaurant.

This could be the first of many Momma Perez Burritos locations across Northern Colorado. Who know- they could end of all of Colorado and the nation. Good food and hard work can lead to a lot.
