One of those eateries is Cordova's Original Recipes, opened by grandson Alex Cordova in the Fuego Fuego nightclub in Aurora.
From a corner of that cavernous space, he's hawked his version of that famous green chile in burritos and grilled cheese sandwiches, and smothering platters of fries. But now he's moved and expanded his operation, taking over the kitchen at MVP's Sports Bar & Grill.
"I leased the whole kitchen," he says. "It's a family sports bar where everyone seems to know each other. It's a real neat environment."
And though he's still doing business as Cordova's Original Recipes, Cordova has also introduced bar fare on his menu. "I'm doing the same thing as Chubby's, but I've added some sandwiches like a Reuben, and I've evened the menu out toward the American side," he explains. He's also serving patty melts, pastrami and fish and chips.
Cordova notes that he not only liked this facility better, but he was attracted by the bar's dart tournaments and involvement with Bikers Against Child Abuse. "It's been a good move for me," he says.
