Why did the chicken cross the road? Specifically, how did La Polleria — a no-frills Peruvian eatery devoted to roast chicken – cross over the Denver city limits in favor of a location in the southern suburbs? That spot just happened to be handy in 2011, when Bob and Rosario Van Diest decided to open […]
International chef/entrepreneur Richard Sandoval’s first restaurant in Denver was the “modern Mexican” Tamayo, but he didn’t stop with that flagship spot in Larimer Square. He opened the very urban Zengo, then Al Lado, in the heart of the Platte Valley. But for more far-flung, suburban locations – in Park Meadows and Northfield/Stapleton – he had […]

When Andy Nelson and Jason Reinhardt opened Locavore Beer Works in Littleton, their goal was to keep it local. “We use the concentric-ring model and only go outside of that if certain goods or services aren’t available,” says Nelson, adding that the brewery is committed to supporting neighborhood businesses as much as possible. That means […]

Lone Tree Brewing Company brought Denver’s craft beer revolution to the southeastern suburbs in 2011 when business partners Jason Wiedmaier and John Winter, who had met as homebrewing enthusiasts, opened their small, family-friendly taproom. Since then, they’ve developed a wide variety of beers and a a regular clientele who enjoy spending time at this craft […]
This staple in the southern suburbs that opened in 2002 is better known for its Mexican cuisine reminiscent of the food its founder Jose Ramirez’s hometown of Jerez, Mexico, than for Denver-style grub, but Los Dos Potrillos knows how to make a killer green chile and much more. Now with four locations, the family-owned hospitality […]
There aren’t many Cajun eateries in Denver, and the few that do pop up often skew Asian, thanks to the Vietnamese immigrant population that settled in Louisiana and then migrated north. But this Littleton spot is all Southern, and despite the casual vibe, it doesn’t take any shortcuts with the food: The gumbo simmers for […]
Open daily for breakfast and lunch only, this Louisiana-inspired favorite got its start in Boulder in 1980 and now has six locations in Colorado. Your experience here comes with a dash of Creole country kitsch, with knickknacks hanging from the walls and silverware wrapped in brightly colored fabric. Start with powdered sugar-covered beignets and your […]
The Littleton location of the Luigi’s brotherhood (the other restaurant is in Aurora) features photos of celebs such as Marlon Brando with fake testimonials (“Your lasagne is to die for,” Don Corleone wrote), and shelves on the painted exposed-brick walls that overflow with old clocks, plastic flowers and Chianti baskets. During the day, this Luigi’s […]

This place hits all the requisite marks, setting itself up as one of those straight-outta-the-boroughs New York pizza joints the minute you walk through the door. And even before that, the minute you hear the name: M.C.’s Brooklyn Pizzeria. But the food lives up to that name: a solid and serious board of New York […]
The Atlanta-based pizza chain trumped more than hundred locations nationwide, including one in Tabor Center and another in the Streets at SouthGlenn. The pizza here is Southern-style and stone-baked; the restaurant offers late-night dining, nightly live entertainment and a temperature-controlled covered patio.
If you like fondue, you’ll go weak in the knees for the Melting Pot. This national chain has two locations in metro Denver – one in a lovely old Carnegie library in Littleton, the other in Louisville. Fondue may be delicious, but it’s also a pain to make and clean up, so it’s much better […]
Inside this unassuming but very brightly painted, salmon-toned building, the Sierra family makes fabulous Mexican food. The pork carnitas are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the guacamole is always freshly mashed. Our favorite, though, is the crispy chile relleno, a poblano stuffed with Jack cheese and deep-fried, then buried under a blanket of fiery green chile.
