Better-than-average Mexican food, starting with a great mol
Lost Highway Brewing, which had been in the planning stages or under construction for three full years, finally opened on Colfax Boulevardin September 2014; the Lost Highway name came about because of Colfax Avenue’s designation as U.S. Route 40, once the gateway to the West. In June 2017, the brewery reopened in bigger, better digs […]
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 […]

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.

It’s a bit hard to gauge what’s beyond the darkly tinted front windows, but this nondescript Englewood dive has a pretty cool interior. Although the walls are lined with photos of Denver sports legends, it’s not your typical sports bar with TVs blasting; you’re more likely to hear some of the regulars talking about local […]
While many local pizza pros credit Cart-Driver for being a catalyst for upping the quality of Denver’s pizza scene, Marco’s Coal Fired has been churning out Neapolitan-style pies on Larimer Street since 2008. After a brief attempt to rebrand to avoid confusion with a chain by a similar name, Marco’s returned to its original moniker […]

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.
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.

Mikuni Sushi is part of a California chain, the Applebee’s of sushi restaurants — big and bright and loud and filled with harmless toe-dunking excursions into Japanese cuisine punctuated by truly American things with vaguely goofy names. It also has a wheel you can spin on your birthday for a chance to win free baseball […]
Tucked behind Park Meadows Mall, this is a family place that scores high with both kids and parents with its activity-filled menus, inviting atmosphere and top-notch food for all ages.
