Hacienda Colorado is a homegrown chain, one that’s coined the term “Mountain Mex” for its food. So while you’ll find traditional Mexican dishes on the menu, they’ve all been given a local twist – and you may find that your tacos and burritos have been stuffed with local ingredients, from marinated meats to fresh produce.

So while you’ll find traditional Mexican dishes on the menu, they’ve all been given a local twist – and you may find that your tacos and burritos have been stuffed with local ingredients, from marinated meats to fresh produce.

The service at Han Kang is laughingly friendly, the room casual, the menu authentically Korean, and the food an absolute treat for anyone looking to move beyond the sweet-and-sour cardboard and dull noodles of more Americanized Asian fare. The menu is large and the portions overwhelming, but the very best dishes are the small plates […]
Another good, if sometimes uneven, place from Dave Query’s Big Red F restaurant group, Happy Noodle House is Boulder’s entry into the noodle-shop fad — a place where classical noodle dishes are given a light-handed fusion treatment, prettied up for company and served by a liveried staff in a room that is among the most […]
Chef/owner Pat Perry’s Highland’s Garden Cafe spills across two Victorian homes in the heart of Highland – as well as an expansive garden and patio. Dining outside is particularly lovely in the summer, when you can eat right in the middle of the garden that supplies many of the ingredients for the dishes on your […]

The 2100 block of Larimer Street has become one of the hottest restaurant areas in town. Ignite, a concept from Concept Restaurants (Rock Bottom founder Frank Day is one of the owners), joined the lineup in late 2011. The place specializes in burgers stacked high but also serves a variety of wood-fired pizzas, a short […]
Founded in Milan, Italy, in 1972 as a baking school, Il Fornaio is a national chain offering upscale Italian cuisine and an extensive dessert menu. The Colorado location, in the Denver Tech Center, has a roster that features wood-fired pizzas, fresh pastas made in-house daily, rotisserie meats and, of course, plenty of baked treats. Il […]
For anyone familiar with the Asian restaurants of Denver’s many strip malls, Iwayama Sushi is instantly comfortable, with its hodge-podge decor from the pages of a Lowe’s home improvement catalog, rows of maneki-neko cats with paws raised in solidarity, and perky soy sauce bottles on every table. An extensive list of maki, nigiri and other […]
Before they opened Jai Ho in the spring of 2010, Sathya and Sujatha Narayan, an architect and a realtor, respectively, had never owned a restaurant. But when they moved to Denver eight years ago from Vancouver, they noticed a gap in the Indian offerings on the local dining scene. Since they’d always dreamed of owning […]

Jalapeno’s is on a roll with its breakfast burritos, the very best in town. Denverites take their breakfast burritos as seriously as they do their bicycle laps around Washington Park, so you can find these eye-openers at hundreds of burrito trucks, burrito carts and burrito shacks sprinkled throughout the city. But none of them compare […]
Jimmy’s Urban Bar & Grill joined LoDo’s lineup of restaurants in spring 2013. The 1500 block of Blake Street may have more restaurants per square foot than any other stretch in the city, and many restaurants have come and gone: Indian restaurants, Mexican restaurants, hot dog restaurants, Moroccan restaurants, Caribbean restaurants, sushi restaurants. But chef/owner […]

The best time to visit Khazana is not for lunch, when the buffet at this off-the-eaten-path Lone Tree Indian restaurant looks all too familiar. But if you come for dinner, you’ll find delicate, bronze-tinged dosas paved with a beguiling mix of curried potatoes and onions; Indo-Chinese dishes like cauliflower slicked with infernal chiles; intensely spiced […]
Some people consider cooking a chore, but if the activity at Kobe An Shabu Shabu, a niche Japanese restaurant that opened in Highland in summer 2014, is any indication, people are not only willing to cook, they’ll pay good money to do so
Since beer is made from grain and hops, it makes sense that Christine Wares picked Kokopelli, the Hopi god of agriculture and fertility, as the inspiration for her new brewery, Kokopelli Beer Company. The 4,000-square-foot Westminster-based brewpub, which seats nearly 100 people, specializes in lower-alcohol session beers, which are around 5 percent ABV or less, […]
