The Street: There’s no better name for this former bungalow that’s been transformed into an iglesia celebrating tacos. The menu offers more than a dozen preparations of beef, pork and goat in styles from around Mexico: cochinita pibil from the Yucatán, shredded pork mixed with pork rinds in the style of Campeche, and carne al […]
La Cantina doesn’t exactly feel like a restaurant. Sandwiched into a public foyer and hallway, next to a locker room and below Vail’s West Lionshead Plaza bus stop, it feels like the guys piecing together your massive burrito and plate of nachos are squatters, ready to pack up their grill at a moment’s notice when […]
It’s not easy being green. When Manuel Silva was forced to close down his original Casa de Manuel at 20th and Larimer streets — an address he’d occupied for forty years — the town worried that we’d never see his green chile again. But then he found another spot eleven blocks to the north, in […]
Open since 1986, this Commerce City restaurant offers a classically Colorado take on green chile, with big chunks of tomato adding to its orange hue, along with small chunks of pork and plenty of visible bits of large-dice chiles. You can choose your heat level, from mild to extra hot, though even the medium packs […]

La Chiva got its start as a food truck in 2015 and moved into its original brick-and-mortar location on South Broadway in 2017. In November 2020, when the space across the street became available, owner and native Colombian Jorge Aguirre relocated his operation, gaining double the seating, an upstairs area and a large back patio. […]
After over four decades in the same location, the Nuñez family still make some of the tastiest Mexican home cooking in town, including fresh handmade tortillas. Settle into one of the restaurant’s turquoise booths and try the green chile, spicy and addictive, which contains all fresh ingredients, or the beef tacos, which come loaded with […]
Chef Jose Avila’s La Diabla has been heaped with praise since opening in 2021 for everything from its namesake pozole to its tacos and stellar house margs, and rightfully so: It does a lot of things well, but we also love the fact that it offers guests a lot of deals on those things. In […]
La Fiesta celebrated sixty years in business in 2023, making it one of Denver’s oldest restaurants that’s still operating in the same location and run by the same family that founded it. Located in a former Safeway, it doles out Denver’s unique style of Mexican food done right. While the late-night dance parties of decades […]

Despite the small size of its original location, La Fillette always made an impressive number of menu items in-house, from bread and croissants to duck confit and sausages. After a move to larger digs in early 2023, the bakery has continued to serve its celebrated baked goods and build-your-own breakfast sandwiches, as well as an […]
The original location of La Fogata, on East Evans Avenue, opened back in 1990 and in 2004, a second spot was later added in the Denver Tech Center. Both eateries are staples in their neighborhoods, and regulars are greeted warmly by longtime staff. The thick, warming, gravy-style green chile is one of the best versions […]

La Forêt, which opened in March 2024 inside the former home of iconic Denver spot Beatrice & Woodsley, honors the previous tenant in a way that’s part homage and part fresh start – and 100 percent gorgeous. Dining here is like entering a real-life enchanted forest, complete with (yes, they’re real) aspen tree trunks. The […]
The tiny kitchen at La Fuente – a groovy, low-rent Mexican joint – turns out big flavors in all its food, but one of the largest draws to this Highland eatery is the plump breakfast burritos. There are nearly a dozen manifestations of them, all featuring soft scrambled eggs and shards of crisp-edged potatoes with […]

La Guarida Cubana opened in the summer of 2012 on a stretch of East Colfax known more for McDonald’s and pot shops than good food. But Lissette and Enrique Rosell, who run this no-frills mom-and-pop joint, are definitely serving good food, authentic Cuban fare that’s made with love, Lissette says. Although the names may not […]
