Troy Guard is out to make the 2400 block of Larimer Street the taco the town with Los Chingones, a stylish taqueria that he opened there at the end of 2013. For decades, this block was home to the Bamboo Hut, a Mexican restaurant that made grease-dripping fried tacos; in contrast, the tacos on the […]
Lotus Medical feels like an upscale oasis geared toward the older crowd, with a setup not unlike that of a Cherry Hills rec room: lots of couches and chairs to recline on while viewing ESPN on the high-def TV hung on one of the exposed-brick walls. There are also books on cannabis and other topics […]

Located on the third floor of the Denver Pavilions, Lucky Strike is part bowling alley, part retro restaurant, part nighttime hangout.

Rounding things out are sandwich cookies with […]
One million dollars — that’s what it cost to bring the new-and-improved M’s Cafe to life. And it was worth every penny. M&D’s barbecue flavor is particular and strong, layered with all those elements that make up the smell of the place on a good night. A naked piece of pork rib, sans sauce, is […]

This branch of Brinker International, which also owns Chili’s, is fancier than its corporate sibling — and it’s definitely several steps above Olive Garden in the Italian chain-food world, with items priced accordingly. The extensive lunch and dinner menus offer traditional and specialty pastas, chef’s favorite plates, and various preparations of shrimp, chicken, beef, pork […]
Call, which debuted in 2017, got a lot of buzz when it landed on Bon Appétit’s Best New Restaurants list, but that concept didn’t survive the pandemic. Chef-owner Duncan Holmes and crew didn’t slow down, though. In 2023, the team earned a Michelin star for Beckon, its upscale tasting-menu concept; it also debuted the à […]
