This calm and unassuming little spot serves up some great dishes, using demonstrably fresh ingredients and well-constructed sauces. The fantastic food makes up for the stark interior — the egg rolls, for example, which are so often a throwaway dish, are truly excellent here, and don’t miss the soft-shell crab appetizer.

This breezy, fast-casual Middle Eastern joint inhabits a prominent corner of the Streets at SouthGlenn, serving up shawarma, kabobs and hummus to patrons passing through its line. Those diners then fill wooden tables in the dining room or, in the warm months, crowd the patio, spilling onto the streets. The spot’s name comes from a […]
The kind of Mexican place that makes Denver an eatin’ town. Everything is good, but watch for the fresh seafood specials, particularly the hearty shellfish soups bursting with flavor.

Located in the former Tom’s Tavern space, the iconic Boulder burger joint and bar that occupied the corner at 1047 Pearl Street for fifty years, Salt is chef/owner Bradford Heap’s “Johnny Local” bistro, a pasture-to-plate restaurant that utilizes the bounty from local purveyors. In his exhibition kitchen, Heap turns out flat breads, roasted vegetables and […]
When you’re talking about a true Italian deli experience, it’s only the meat that matters. At Salvaggio’s, the countermen understand this. No one’s there for conversation at this spartan, six-table Boulder storefront. The customers come for the sandwiches – in particular, a nice prosciutto on a roll or the fantastic red bells and mozz – […]
Sam Taylor’s does its barbecue wet — slathered in a thick, sticky, gloss-black sauce, a Tennessee-meets-Kansas City riff that packs both heat and sweet. The gigantic, slow-smoked pork ribs are excellent, as is the pork sandwich (or “poke sammich”); the homemade potato chips actually taste like potatoes, the brisket sandwich is decent, and the steam-table […]
In 2004, Sam, Alex and Patrick Armatas brought the family business back to the same downtown block where it started decades ago. While the Aurora outpost shuttered at the end of 2023 following 25 years in business, a second location in Glendale remains. Alongside the Coney Island favorites that made Sam’s popular in the 1920s, […]

The origins of Sam’s No. 3 date back to 1920, when Sam Armatas started offering his Coney Island favorites in Denver. Over the next nine decades, the empire grew and shrank and shrank still more, until it was down to just one Sam’s No. 3, located in Aurora. Currently, there are two locations, both with […]
Soup, pizzas, cookies and the occasional chalkboard special: These things are the marks of a good cafe. You’ll find all of those and more at SAME, which stands for “So All May Eat.” This spot isn’t just a good cafe; it’s a good deed in action. The food here doesn’t come with a price tag, […]
Chef Dave Hadley launched Samosa Shop in September 2020 and has been popping up at various farmers’ markets ever since, gaining a following for his modern spin on Indian classics, including creative samosas. In December 2023, he opened up inside downtown’s Honor Farm, and now, in addition to samosas, he serves such dishes as the […]

Bow to Japanese tradition: Reserve a tatami-mat room and settle in for a delightful, multicourse dinner. Or opt for the sushi, which competes with any in town.
The yeasty aroma of fresh-baked treats wafting from the San Antonio Mexican Bakery and Juice Bar holds the promise of a sweet breakfast or savory lunch. The variety of breads and pastries at San Antonio is almost overwhelming. In a well-stocked panaderia like San Antonio’s, we love walking from case to case with a cafeteria […]
The formula that works for Santa Fe Cookie Co., a hole-in-the-wall off the 16th Street Mall, probably isn’t one that would work for any other bakery in the middle of downtown Denver: Customers enter at one end of a shop, drop a dollar into a giant plastic jug, retrieve a small paper bag filled with […]
Santiago’s – in particular, this Santiago’s – is one of the best places in the city for breakfast burritos, if you happen to love the foil-wrapped, un-smothered style (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?). Santiago’s also does a good green chile, as well as worthy tacos and non-breakfast burritos. This is a homegrown chain that […]
