No bull here, just cheap drinks, great food and friendly regulars who appreciate the Garcia family, which also founded the beloved Mexico City Lounge and is now on a third generation at El Toro. The decor boasts velvet paintings, paneling and an enormous TV in the corner; the menu is slightly less elaborate, featuring basics […]
If you’re craving authentic Mexican street food, you can’t go wrong with El Trompito Taqueria, a wonderland of Mexican street favorites. Step inside, and you’ll hear the thud of cleavers in the open kitchen, where workers assemble tacos, huaraches, alambres, skyscraping tortas and aguas frescas made with fresh fruit. Photographs on the menu posted on […]
The boxy, dimly lit dining room of El Zarape features distinctly coastal decor, despite exterior signs advertising specialties typical of Chihuahua, including Juarez-style burritos, tacos de barbacoa, and a general inclination toward flour tortillas and various preparations of beef. You’ll do best to stick with items from the handwritten signs offering tortas de pierna (pork […]

The rooftop extension of the pan-Asian eatery Departure on the ground floor of the Halcyon hotel is where you’ll want to be when the weather heats up. The reason? There’s a swimming pool that, while intended only for hotel guests, is a great accompaniment to tropical drinks, dim sum and general lethargy. Hang out high […]
If you’re looking for a classic bowling alley with an old-school flavor, you’ll score with Elitch Lanes, an old-time spot in northwest Denver. With good prices and a friendly staff, this is a great spot for birthday parties, banquets and reunions, or just hanging out with a bunch of friends.
When you’re in the mood to dine with distinction, there’s no better place than Ellyngton’s. Tucked into a corner of the Brown Palace, this restaurant is all old-world swank and old-school class – a bastion of the sort of jacket-and-tie dining that’s becoming rare in this fast-casual world. Prices are expensive, but the experience is […]
Cutting it close is the way to go when traveling by air; time wasted while wedged into an uncomfortable airport chair is time you’ll never get back – unless you choose to while away your extra travel time at Elway’s. If it’s your first day on vacation, you won’t mind splurging on steak and eggs, […]
Although the second Elway’s lacks the fun factor of the original in Cherry Creek, it’s still a good bet for a business dinner — especially if your group is large enough to fill the League of Evil-like private seating area. And despite its hoity-toity location (it’s in the Ritz-Carlton), this Elway’s also works for a […]
From the great outside patio, Emerald Isle has a biker bar/roadhouse vibe — but inside, there’s a total role reversal, with a pleasant dining room and bar, caricatures of regulars on the walls and friendly service. The music is good (if Metallica and ’90s alterna-metal is your thing), and the food can be great: Americanized […]

Emil-Lene’s is a Colorado institution, where the Wild West cowboy history of cattle and hats and six-guns isn’t just a theme, but something served right up on the plate alongside the giant steaks, sides of spaghetti and relish trays of crunchy veggies on a bed of ice. The Kucher (now Krause) family has owned this […]
There are restaurant “concepts” – easy to define in a word or two, recognizable in format by potential customers – and then there are restaurants. For a new eatery aiming to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner from a team of creative and forward-looking chefs and bakers, a pat definition isn’t easy, or even desirable. That’s […]
This cozy corner of Venezuelan cuisine features the namesake empanadas, plus fat arepas made from white-corn flour and a few hard-to-find appetizers like tequeños (fried dough sticks), cachapas (corn-flour pancakes) and mashed yucca. Additional treats include South American soft drinks and fried plantain — both the sweet, ripe slices and the starchier chips made from […]
The Empress Seafood Restaurant is a classic dim sum joint. It’s huge and always bustling, with first dates tentatively bumping chopsticks over Singapore noodles, family gatherings at big round tables, sometimes even a karaoke setup left over from last night’s sweet-sixteen party. Although you can order almost every Chinese dish (American-style) imaginable off the big […]
Phil and Erika Zierke opened an instant classic when they invited guests into the Englewood Grand in 2016. You won’t find any long-winded menus, fussy small plates or a chemist’s closet of beakers and dropper bottles to confound you. Instead, it’s just a straightforward bar where you can order your drink of choice and soak […]
Epernay opened in early 2013 right in front of the Denver Performing Arts Complex, a place that can certainly use spots that serve stylish, quick snacks before and after shows. And Epernay definitely has the stylish down: The dining room features frosted glass, a bamboo divider and a wall-sized underwater photo that makes you feel […]

The original Ernie’s, which opened in this spot in 1943, served pizza. So does the Ernie’s opened by Larimer Associates in 2009. But this East Coast pie palace also pimps an impressive antipasto board featuring sweet and sour figs, Gorgonzola-stuffed queen olives, cherry peppers stuffed with provolone and prosciutto, and balsamic cippolini onions. And that’s […]
In 2015, the former Chinook Bar & Grill got a snazzy remodel and opened as Esters, a neighborhood pub that serves nearly two dozen craft beers (most of them local) and a diverse selection of cocktails, along with pizza, nachos and other pub fare. Now with outposts in Park Hill and Wheat Ridge, it’s a […]
