I am amazed at how people feel about their food, especially mexican (new mexican) style cuisine. Jack & family run the BEST restaurant in all of Colorado. I have been in the restaurant business for 15 years and I love going out to eat. We have many wonderful restaurants in Denver with great service & food. Jack N Grill is like home, but better. Fresh ingredients, made to order, family atmosphere--but more like your best friends house. I love green chili & have been to every mexican style restaurant in Colorado & many parts of California & New Mexico--Nothing compares! DO NOT compare their beans to anyone else's; these beans are so DAMN good, not refried, not hard or bland. My Favorite Dish is the Albuquerque Breakfast with Bacon (thick & crispy!). I charge someone with finding a better green chili or a better restaurant--it is not possible.

Jack-n-Grill
Readers' Choice: Santiago's
Over the years, patriarch Jack Martinez has tried a lot of things to build his business at Jack-n-Grill. He's expanded the menu, he's expanded the building, gotten a liquor license, franchised his concept and done everything short of handing out dollar bills to get people in the door. But in truth, he's never really had to do much of anything, because anyone who knows chile knows that Martinez (once a New Mexico chile importer himself) has the best, most consistent supply in Denver of the sweet-hot, smoky southern New Mexico green that defines both that culture and that cuisine. The best thing on Jack-n-Grill's menu is anything with green chile on it, and in season, the faithful line up for a block outside Jack-n-Grill so they can take home a sweating plastic bag of freshly roasted chiles.
