Japanese food is as much about the presentation as it is about the flavors presented. And while the strip mall that’s home to Hana Matsuri Sushi doesn’t look like much, inside the elegant restaurant looks almost like a furniture showroom, with a sushi bar that’s an actual bar. Steve and Jessie Liu, who opened the […]

Opened in 2001 by Jujhar Singh — a twenty-year veteran of the Colorado restaurant scene — Jewel of India specializes in regal Punjabi service and northern Indian Mughlai cuisine, originally the food of raiders and interlopers. While the menu looks like the menu of every other strip-mall Indian restaurant in the country, the food that […]
A meal at Kachina, which opened in the Westin Westminster in the fall of 2012, is supposed to be “a magical trip through the Southwest,” according to its menu. The dining room is separated from the exhibition kitchen by a partition of pueblo-style niches; the space is lovely, if overdone. The menu needs some editing, […]

Since beer is made from grain and hops, it makes sense that Christine Wares picked Kokopelli, the Hopi god of agriculture and fertility, as the inspiration for her new brewery, Kokopelli Beer Company. The 4,000-square-foot Westminster-based brewpub, which seats nearly 100 people, specializes in lower-alcohol session beers, which are around 5 percent ABV or less, […]
Don’t let the shabby strip mall where La Torteria hides fool you; this little Mexican sandwich shop is full of surprises, including ice-cold beers, taquitos and some of the best tortas in town. Our favorite is the lambada, featuring scrambled eggs, chorizo and pierna (roast pork leg). Sure signs that you’re in a palace of […]
A bit of New Mexico in Colorado, Little Anita’s is run by an Albuquerque family with a 30-year history in the restaurant business. The red and green chiles are multi-layered and flavorful, and the food features plenty of Southwestern touches, such as blue corn in the enchiladas and a roster of stuffed sopaipillas. The carne […]

Tucked into a fancy strip mall, Saigon Pho looks like one of those joints offering nothing more than the dim and thrice-removed flavors of the mysterious East on a menu full of badly Photoshopped pictures. And yes, there are a lot of pictures on this menu, but those pictures show very good and surprisingly raw […]
When Snooze first hit the Ballpark neighborhood in 2007, it revolutionized breakfast in Denver. The most important meal of the day became one of the most creative meals of the day, with flights of pancakes, re-imagined omelets and Benedicts, and a morning-themed alcoholic beverage list. Snooze nicely filled a niche that Denver hadn’t even recognized […]
Tacos y Salsas is a tough place to miss — all the outposts of this growing local chain are as shiny and carnival-colored as their surroundings are gray and grim. The food at this taqueria shines just as bright, with excellent meats sliced and seared right in front of you. You can doctor your dishes […]

This Texas import continued its crusade into Colorado throughout 2016, and opinions about it grew as quickly as the lines out the door. It’s a big, loud, flamboyant and insanely popular spot, so people love it or hate it with an intensity that matches its dazzling sign, which lights up the night like a marquee. […]
This is the first and most expansive of three Tuk Tuk eateries to translate the Thai street-food concept into American fast food. The dishes all celebrate freshness, flavors, textures and colors, with an emphasis on noodle bowls, grilled or barbecued meat and chopped-to-order salads. Spend a few minutes with the sushi menu as well, which […]
