For anyone who was born and raised in Denver, especially all you westsiders, the above snap should be instantly recognizable.

It's been at least twenty years since I stepped foot inside this Mexican compound that still commands thirty-minute waits on a Saturday night and still squiggles its frozen margaritas with whipped cream.

Can you guess where I'm reliving my youth?
