Colorado is lucky to have many homegrown Mexican chains — but none have been as successful as Santiago’s. And with good reason: This chain, which has over twenty locations (and counting), doesn’t just offer great to-go breakfast burritos; it also serves up an absolutely addictive green chile. In mild, medium and hot, it’s tasty enough […]

Perched high on a hill overlooking downtown Denver, Simms Steak House — which occupies the former home of Simms Landing — wows diners with a stunning silhouette of the skyline. As a result, it’s a perfect destination for date night, Sunday brunch or dinner with out-of-towners. But the big, classic menu — highlighting Colorado-caught fish […]
Smashburger has all the affectations of a standard QSR operation: counter-ordering and tableside delivery, a fast and easily navigable menu, a simple and easily duplicated decor. But it also has a far-from-standard burger: the namesake “smashburger,” a half-pound of ground, nicely fatty Angus beef that’s whacked onto the hot steel, producing a flood of meat […]
Stack gets its name from the precise layering of ingredients that gives each bite the same blend of ingredients. Sandwiches are built on oven-crisped breads — white, wheat, gluten-free or pretzel roll — and feature classic deli combos, like the house favorite Italian, stacked with Genoa salami, mortadella, pepperoni, hot capicola and provolone, as well […]

Szechuan Chinese has been a Lakewood institution for decades – and its dumplings attract fans from around the city. The focus here is on cuisine from the Sichuan area of China, but Szechuan also offers the usual suspects – egg-drop soup, crab Rangoon, and those potstickers stuffed with a spiced pork mixture that defies description […]
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.

This local chain got its start in 1981, and the menu has gotten huge over the years, with offerings ranging from shrimp cocktail to Mexican egg rolls as well as a long list of burritos and tacos. But the real draw is the tamales, corn-wrapped packets filled with a classic blend of pork and green […]
Tamales Moreno is housed in a dilapidated, grubby yellow shack fronted by a counter that fails to hide all the kitchen equipment covered with a fine film of grease. A gumball machine by the counter is filled with candy that looks dusty and ancient, and the supply of drinks in a soda dispenser on the […]
A damn cool spot stocked with seventeen beers on tap, including Boddingtons, Kronenbourg, Hoegaarden, Beamish Irish Stout and a few local microbrews. The place is jumping too, especially on Mondays, when the lovely and talented Angie Stevens holds court at the weekly open stage. And on Saturdays, there’s a steady stream of live blues and […]
The European-style bakery in Lakewood turns out a truly astonishing range of kringles, cream puffs, strudels, croissants, eclairs, sweet breads, pies, cakes, tarts, muffins, cookies and, of course, Danishes. Enjoy them to go or on the bakery’s sunny patio – including in winter, when the staff sets up outdoor heaters to keep customers cozy.
