The Easy Vegan, a food truck that also does regular pop-ups at its South Broadway kitchen, doesn’t subscribe to diet culture or take a particular stance on healthfulness. Rather, it celebrates plant-based cooking in all its forms, from globally inspired street food to plated prix fixe menus. Innovation is seen in such dishes as a […]
Much larger than it appears from the outside, Eck’s Saloon has plenty of room for hearty drinkers, bikers, pool sharks and those who just want to stretch out and dance. Anyone with an affinity for ’80s hair rock is pretty much guaranteed to fall in love with the place, as hard-rock cover bands are usually […]
The Four Seasons opened in Denver in the fall of 2010, another sign of the city’s evolution from a cowtown to a tourist destination, complete with moneyed visitors who now had a place to stay if the Ritz was booked. And with the opening of EDGE, the sleek restaurant in the Four Seasons, they also […]

No relation to the world’s most brilliant scientist, Einstein Bros. Bagels actually was created by the Boston Market company in 1995 as a way to market breakfast food. It now holds the title of the largest retail bagel store in the nation, with nearly 800 stores. Classic bagel flavors like plain, pumpernickel, and “everything,” plus […]
This European-style cafe from the owners of ice cream favorite High Point Creamery opened inside the 11th Avenue Hostel in the summer of 2022. Eiskaffee works as either a coffee shop or an ice cream shop, but the best options are those that combine the two, like affogatos made with any flavor (definitely try the […]
Located in the basement of Republic Plaza off the 16th Street Mall, El Azteca holds the Mexican-food slot in this throwback food court. (There’s also a Chick-Fil-A, a Falafel King and nods to quick Chinese, Japanese, pizza and…yeah, you get the idea.) But while this is a lunch spot, with a clientele made up almost […]
El Borrego Negro isn’t your typical hole-in-the-wall taqueria. In fact, it’s little more than a hole in the ground. Chef Jose Avila founded the sheep barbacoa operation in late 2020 to bring the taste of real Mexican barbacoa de borrego to Denver. He acquired a flock of sheep that roam a farm in northern Colorado, […]
There are very few dishes on El Camaron Loco’s menu that don’t include shrimp. You’ll find the pudgy pink specimens in the enchiladas and chiles rellenos; plunged into soups sharpened with lime; sauced with poblano chiles; tangling with jalapenos and folded into housemade corn tortillas; paved with melted cheese; or sharing space on a huge […]
The atmosphere at El Camino is fun and welcoming, and so is the food. While the board is too heavy on things like molten cheese and too light on things like intestines to really sate a craving for authentic Mexican food, it’s also not hip like the menu at one of Rick Bayless’s upscale Chicago […]

At El Chalate, a stripped-down Mexican and Salvadorean pit stop on East Colfax, you’ll often be welcomed by a young girl who likes to practice her English. She flits around the dining room, stopping to chat with patrons, while the attentive waitstaff hustles from table to table dropping off heaping plates of pupusas, stuffed with […]
Established in 1962, El Charrito has long been one of downtown’s classic dives. It’s been closed a few times over the years, but new owners took over the spot in 2009 and now call it a “five-star dive bar.” It’s got a new-world feel while still retaining some of its old-school charm. El Charrito serves […]
The late Gloria Nunez and her grandson, David Lopez, opened the original El Chingon in a strip mall in Arvada in 2010 before moving to a small space in Berkeley. In 2022, Gloria’s son, Lorenzo Nunez Jr., closed the restaurant in order to better accommodate the many fans of its Mexico City-inspired fare. A year […]
El Coyotito #3 is a cross-cultural strip-mall collision of American and Mexican tastes melded into one culinary whole. It offers shrimp soup and fish soup and soup with shrimp and octopus, big shrimp in the shell laid over sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, Mexican pastries, tacos made from lips, killer fried pork chops over rice, unbelievable […]

The devil’s in the details. After two years of planning, Jesse Morreale opened his new restaurant, El Diablo, in the corner of the old First Avenue Hotel, a place that looked like hell when Morreale bought it but has now been transformed into a fantasy cantina, with stunning murals, vintage conquistador-style light fixtures, a big […]
Chef/owner Justin Cucci didn’t build El Five just as a restaurant, but as an experience. It debuted in 2017 atop a five-story building in LoHi, with breathtaking views of downtown and the mountains. But the food – a variation on Mediterranean tapas – is dramatic enough on its own, making dinner a fascinating journey through […]
El Jakalito Taqueria y Panaderia is a diminutive but bright restaurant and bakery space on South Quebec Street serving Mexican food and all manner of baked goods, with a full menu featuring tacos, gorditas, tostadas, tamales and tortas, and a salsa cart – where fiery red- and green-chile sauces sit alongside hot pickled radishes, carrots, […]
