The Lakewood Grill has been around even longer than the city of Lakewood itself. The bar was built in 1950 and poured its first drinks (officially) in 1951, back when this stretch of West Colfax was just unincorporated Jefferson County. Lakewood became a city in 1969, and the Grill was there for that, too. Through […]

They don’t make them like they used to – but Lechuga’s marches on anyway, an old-school Italian joint where you can order pasta by the bucket and square pizzas (with green-chile strips, like a true Denverite!).

Troy Guard made the 2400 block of Larimer Street the taco the town with Los Chingones, a stylish taqueria he opened there at the end of 2013, ten blocks and a world away from his flagship restaurant, TAG. He now has four locations of his “bad-ass” eatery, all offering similar menus of tacos — little […]
Ice cream can be so overpriced these days; what was once an affordable post-soccer game treat for kids has become the culinary equivalent of cold gold. But Magill’s is the exception. With a nostalgic vibe from decades ago, Magill’s offers a heck of a lot of ice cream that won’t require that you break the […]
This Mexican seafood joint isn’t much to look at – it’s in the former home of the notorious Hart’s Corner – but keep an eye out for the distinctive heart-shaped sign all the same, because you’re in for a treat once you get inside. The menu is solid and well-executed, but the real reason we […]

While we were waiting for our food at Mayan Manjar Yucateco, we glanced at the single television screen in this tiny Lakewood spot. It was playing a Spanish version of Rocky: an underdog movie in an underdog restaurant. And like Rocky Balboa, Mayan Manjar Yucateco, which moved into the former home of Maria Empanada in […]

Its rolls are considerably larger than standard sushi-bar maki, with an ample amount of rice and creative fillings wrapped in whole sheets of nori. Options […]
