Every Restaurant and Bar Opening and Closing This Week

What's trending in restaurant openings? Thai cuisine. Beau Thai just opened its third location in West Highland, after a decade of success in Castle Rock and Evergreen. The owner of Swing Thai in West Washington Park has turned it into Hey Bangkok. Up in Thornton, Sue Dejsuwan unveiled Ponsawan Thai; she's the sister-in-law of Sandy Phukumnert, who owns Pearl of Siam in Aurora.

Changes are afoot on Federal Boulevard, too. Peyote Mexican Restaurant recently took over the spot where Mariscos Mr. Lucky had been, which was Mariscos El Licenciado before that. At one time, this address was home to T-Wa Inn, the Vietnamese restaurant that served Federal Boulevard for thirty years before closing in 2014. And Tacos y Salsas at 910 South Federal Boulevard has switched things up, too; it's now Mazatleco Mariscos. The Tacos y Salsas at 1201 South Federal Boulevard is still open, though.

Fried chicken seems to be everywhere these days, even inside breakfast restaurants. Morning Story just launched Saucy Chix, specializing in chicken tenders and sandwiches, at its Denver and Westminster restaurants. If you want chicken and waffles (which seems like a natural here), you can get waffle fries to go with your bird. Saucy Chix is available for takeout and delivery only; visit the new ghost kitchen's website for online menus and ordering.
