El Chalate

At El Chalate, a stripped-down Mexican and Salvadorean pit stop on East Colfax, you’ll often be welcomed by a young girl who likes to practice her English. She flits around the dining room, stopping to chat with patrons, while the attentive waitstaff hustles from table to table dropping off heaping plates of pupusas, stuffed with […]

Elway’s DIA

Cutting it close is the way to go when traveling by air; time wasted while wedged into an uncomfortable airport chair is time you’ll never get back – unless you choose to while away your extra travel time at Elway’s. If it’s your first day on vacation, you won’t mind splurging on steak and eggs, […]

Gaia PlantBased Medicine is in a decent East Colfax location, with a sidewalk storefront situated between a salon and one of the best low-key lunch spots in Denver, La Guarida Cubana. Prepare to be buzzed back through the steel-plated wall and security door for the patient lounge. It’s a clean, cozy place that feels more […]

Hangar Bar

It’s hard to miss the Beer Can Bomber hanging over the bar when you enter this East Colfax dive.

The Hangar has […]
