At first glance it might seem uninspiring - standard sand-
wiches, grilled meats and pasta plates dominate - but this elegant corner diner punches
things up with wide-ranging Southern, Latin American and Asian influences. It's atmo-
spheric too, with tall windows, classic black-and-white tiles and fans that spin lazily
above the brunch crowd.

If you need a quick fortifying bite before drinking down the South Broadway strip, Señor
Burrito is adequately quick and cheap. Authentic? Not so much. Morning options include
an egg-and-ham-loaded, Denver-style breakfast burrito, while the crunchy tacos - filled
with ground beef, cheddar, lettuce and tomato - are just like mom used to make…back in
Michigan.

Good, chewy thin crust and several invent-
ive house specialties (such as the meaty, pineapple-and-jalapeño-dressed Mile High Club
Pie and pesto-covered Walnut Special) make this Broadway spot impressive. Framed pho-
tos of jam bands and local rockers playing at the associate Walnut Room venue line the
tall walls of the booths.
