Jack-n-Grill

This legendary and well-loved New Mexican (not Mexican) joint has received national acclaim, and that's because chile man Jack Martinez knows what his customers want. First, there's the good, honest New Mexico-style green chile he's been dishing up since his days as a chile importer. Then there's the succulent shrimp, juicy chicken and exceptionally potent shredded beef, all served on flat corn tortillas with pico de gallo, cheese and a side of lime for great tacos. Try the vaquero tacos with barbecue sauce and cooling sour cream served on a flour tortilla, and you'll be hooked. There are two other offshoots in the Denver area, but stick to the original Federal Boulevard location; it's the heart and soul of the operation.
