Aji Latin American Restaurant

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:08:18 -0600

Aji bills itself as a Latin American restaurant, and its menu is a postmodern fusion of Peruvian, Mexican, Argentine, Cuban, Brazilian, Salvadoran and Caribbean influences, in varying degrees of authenticity. Although little on Aji’s menu makes much classical sense, much of it is very good, offering a g

Cafe Brazil

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:38:19 -0600

Cafe Brazil has been a haven for Mediterranean-inflected South American cuisine for more than thirty years. If you’ve been in Denver long enough, you probably knocked back your first caipirinha here – possibly even at the eatery’s original Highland location (long before folks started calling the area LoHi). Come for the slow-roasted meats, baked sweet […]

Limon

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:08:54 -0600

Small, weird, uncommon and devilishly crowded at its peak is not the a standard recipe for wild restaurant success. But in Limon’s warm storefront space, chef-owner Alex Gurevich has singlehandedly sold Denver on authentic Novoandino cuisine — a combination of modern Peruvian flavors and classical French technique that’s complex, comforting and delicious all at the […]

Igor and Beckie Panasewicz had compiled more than a decade of experience serving Venezuelan cuisine from their food truck and at the Avanti food hall when they finally opened their own Platt Park brick-and-mortar in 2019. Their experience shows in the restaurant’s succulent meats, […]

Owner Jose Acevedo watches the front of the house, standing post behind the short bar, overseeing service and talking soccer and food with his regulars. In the back, chef Ulises Santiago and his crew cook up seasonal menus from Latin America, changing the globe-trotting lineup several times a year. This casual, comfortable place has been […]

Rincon Argentino

Christian Saber, a native of Buenos Aires and now chef-owner of Rincon Argentino in Boulder, was working in Breckenridge when he realized he’d fallen in love with more than Colorado powder: He met his future wife on the slopes, and when he later moved with her to her home town of Boulder, he realized there […]

Sabor Bar & Grill

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:38:45 -0600

Sabor Latino’s feel-good ambience makes this decades-old northwest Denver joint easy to love. The dining room is comfortably rustic, with an atmosphere that hangs somewhere in that inviting, tender middle ground between aging white-tablecloth class and neighborhood eclecticism. The menu is half-Mexican standards and half-greatest hits of Central and South American cuisines (some holdovers from […]
