Renegade Burrito's story: from Westminster to six Denver-area restaurants

How Renegade Burrito started in Westminster in 2017 and grew to Arvada, Thornton, Denver and Lakewood.

By the Renegade Burrito team · Draft for owner review · October 26, 2026

Born in Westminster in 2017

Renegade Burrito was founded in Westminster, Colorado in 2017 by a Colorado native with many years in the restaurant franchise business and his partners. The idea was simple: no more corporate, no more franchise, just amazing fresh food.

Scratch-made from day one

Everything is made in house: the salsas, the proteins, the pork green chili. Breakfast burritos have been on the menu all day from the start.

Growing across the metro

Arvada opened on June 29, 2021, as covered by What Now Denver. Today there are six Renegades: Arvada/Westminster, Denver – DU, Denver – Park Hill, Lakewood, Thornton and Westminster North.

Giving back

In 2020, the Westminster restaurant donated food to Adams 12 School District families, as reported by Denver7. Renegade still hosts Fundraising Days for schools and nonprofits.

Beyond the restaurants

Renegade serves fans at Empower Field at Mile High (Section 127).
