Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Juan's on Stout, a downtown Mexican joint that shared the same address at 1531 Stout Street as Mici's Handcrafted Italian, has closed -- but the space won't be empty long. Cilanto Fusion, another south-of-the-border newcomer (La Brisa opened just last week at 375 South Pearl Street), is picking up where Juan's left off, and while a sign on the door promises "delicious Mexican cuisine, outstanding margaritas, fresh fruit mojitos, martinis and much more," a second note makes it clear that Juan's previous regulars won't be forgotten: "Special note to Juan's customers: We will keep Juan's green chili."
Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until mid-August to get your fix, because that's when Cilantro Fusion is slated to open.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
