Cap City Tavern

Cap City Tavern is the kind of neighborhood joint that every neighborhood wishes it had. In this case, though, the lucky beneficiary is the Golden Triangle neighborhood, where Cap City is hopping at lunch, happy hour, dinner and beyond, seven days a week. There are happy-hour deals and food specials, but the standard menu is […]

The Caribou Room

The Caribou Room is concert venue and events center located in Nederland, Colorado. Only 25 minutes west of Boulder and overlooking the Rocky Mountains, the Caribou Room continues the rich musical history of the area by offering high end service with a relaxed mountain style. From its beginning as a warehouse, the building has been […]

Carioca Cafe (Bar Bar)

It’s dirty and grimy and sometimes feels a little dangerous, but that’s all part of the grungy charm of this cash-only dive. Known as Bar Bar thanks to the triangular neon sign outside, the downtown holdout nearly went under when it had to put a pause on live music because of licensing issues in 2022, […]

Carl’s Pizza

Situated in the now-hip Highland neighborhood, Carl’s Pizza is anything but trendy. It’s an old-time neighborhood Italian joint serving good spaghetti and meatballs, manicotti and pizza since 1953. Dinners come with soup or salad; spaghetti and meatballs can be ordered by the pint or the quart. It’s nothing fancy, just good food with a good […]

Carmine Lonardo’s

This cozy, family-owned Italian market and deli has been around since 1976. The shelves are lined with imported pasta of all shapes and sizes, olive oil, canned goods, frozen foods like housemade sausages, and so much more. Still, the sandwiches – huge, messy masterpieces loaded onto freshly baked rolls, which you can custom-order with that […]

Carmine’s on Penn

The original Carmine’s on Penn has held down its corner of Pennsylvania and Bayaud since 1994. When the restaurant opened, it was intended as a place where large groups could converge and enjoy themselves without thinking too much about what they were eating – ordering big platters of Italian food served family style, which is […]

Carne Argentina Street Food

Uncommon Argentinian sandwiches are the main draw at this Baker eatery, from lomitos (pork) and choripanes (sausage) to vacios (steak) and milanesas (breaded cutlet). Also notable: the crusty, crunchy wedge fries seasoned with a house spice blend that you can dip in tangy chimichurri for a true taste of Buenos Aires.

Carniceria Aaliyah

Federal Boulevard is rife with good Mexican grub, much of it from market lunch counters where you can grab groceries and then sit down for a plate of tacos or a steaming bowl of caldo de res. Carniceria Aaliyah, which opened in the second half of 2016, has a tidy, well-stocked butcher counter, a few […]

La Flor De Michoacan

If you’ve seen the graveled parking lot of Carniceria y Taqueria La Flor de Michoacan filling up promptly at 4 p.m. every Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a brotherhood of food warriors — burly men drawn by the mingled scents of char and sizzle permeating the air — you might have wondered what that makeshift, […]

Carnitas Estilo Michoacan

There are two Carnitas Estilo Michoacan locations in southwest Denver, and both of them offer the same lineup of condiments that won the restaurant Denver’s Best Salsa Bar in 2012. While the dining areas can be a little close and cluttered, we’ll camp out on a bar stool and wait for an order of chilaquiles […]

Carrera’s Tacos

Originally from California, brothers Joshua and Ryan Carrera launched a catering company-turned-food truck in 2019 with the goal of bringing the type of Mexican food they’d grown up eating to the Mile High – and their business was a hit. In 2022, it moved into a permanent home, making the Denver Tech Center an unlikely […]
