Who’d have thought that the hottest spot on SoBo would serve ice cream? When Sweet Action opened in 2009, it served up homemade ice cream using milk and cream from local dairies and spices from Savory Spice Shop to create dozens of truly cool new flavors – including the incredible Stranahan’s Whiskey Brickle. In the […]

It offers scoops you won’t find at Little Man; housemade chocolate truffles; and ice cream sandwiches built on doughnuts, eclairs or Stewart’s shortbread (a Colorado original). Get a little sweeter yourself with floats, shakes, malts, banana splits and other old-fashioned […]

If skinny British lady Rachel Ashwell, who brought Shabby Chic into the lives of upper-middle-class women nationwide, opened a salon, Sweet Life would be it. Dark mahogany-stained floors provide a foundation for light-blue chandeliers, oversized off-white linen chairs, pastel vintage doors and soft, sheer curtains in this Stapleton salon, where anything is possible as long […]

Both Swift’s Breakfast House and Swift’s Kitchen are the sort of no-nonsense, street-side diners that seem to invite you in to have a seat and eat heartily – and it also serves Pete’s Coney Island red chili (named after a classic downtown restaurant that was demolished in 1990). If you were a fan of the […]
After a five-year stint as a talent buyer at the Meadowlark, Jonathan Bitz started what would become a three-year hunt for his own place. In August 2013, he took over the building at 554 South Broadway that most recently housed the Bar (and the Atrium before that) and began transforming the space into Syntax Physic […]
As its name suggests, much of the menu at this eatery is devoted to foods that are vessels for syrup – and the kitchen makes several versions of the sticky stuff, including classics and seasonal offerings. The syrup gets poured over pancakes, waffles and French toast in Syrup’s sun-soaked, garden-level dining room that serves breakfast, […]

Szechuan Tasty House often looks closed, but it’s worth a walk up to the doors to see if they’re locked. The no-frills spot serves excellent cuisine, with Sichuan specialties like Ma Po tofu and Chongqing-style la zi ji (translated here as “Chong Qing style deep fried spicy chicken”) – cozying up next to Imperial fare […]
There have been many changes at Table 6 since the cozy eatery opened in 2004, and the latest came in 2023, when owner Aaron Forman passed away. The neighborhood favorite is now in the very capable hands of general manager Amanda Davis and chef Aniedra Nichols, who became its owners in June of that year. […]
It’s not surprising that the sign over the South Federal Taco House, which is almost bigger than the building below it, is more of an icon in this town than the restaurant itself. Despite age spots, facelifts and weathering, the building maintains a roadhouse charm and tidiness that stand in opposition to the forces of decay. […]
Along the stretch of Colfax where Denver begins to give way to Aurora, a motley collection of strip malls, repurposed gas stations and shabby storefronts house an equally diverse collection of culinary experiences. In their midst sits Taco Mex, an immaculately painted red-and-white box that looks like it might once have been a fast-food outlet, […]
Tacos are first and foremost street food, so carts, trucks and trailers are obvious candidates for where to seek out the amazing antojitos. But in the Athmar Park neighborhood, people are beginning to figure out that a brightly painted shipping container festooned with sparkling lights is home to some of the best tacos around.

The menu at this strip-mall operation is a greatest-hits list of everything there is to love about Mexican street food, plus a few surprises (Mexican consomme?). But the best item is the torta: messy, dripping, delicious and offered in several variations, including the D.F., served either “combinaci
The decades-old Tacos Jalisco is holding firm against the remodels and condo buyouts encroaching from all directions. Inside, the look is half strip-mall Mexican and half ranchero, and the menu? Pure Colorado Mexican, with a little Tex-Mex, a little Norteno, some Michoacan influences and a healthy dose of big burritos, cheesy enchiladas and excellent seafood […]
