Sorry, these are not true original green chile. June Garcia has been serving her green chile for over 25 years, first at the Bamboo Hut, and then at Phil's Place Mexican Restaurant on 35th & Larimer. She's won numerous awards with the Denver Post and Westword. Full of flavor and hot.Says Ken:
Los Dos Potrillos in Littleton is great. El Noa Noa on Santa Fe is up there also. And just because a sauce is green doesn't make it a green chile.Says Les:
Honorable Mention: Wheat Ridge Lanes (yeah, the bowling alley). So good.Sayss Nancy:
This list is whack. Casa Del Rey in Commerce City has the best green chili! and chimichangas! Go check them out.Says Carlos:
Emilio's almost famous. The best pork green chili. Hot , extra hot, or mild. You can get red and vegetarian. All made from scratch in Westminster.Says Connie:
Hasn't anyone ever tried De Corazon on Blake!!??? Good God, this place is amazing and I'm always disappointed it's not on this list. It should be. Replace that New Mexico nonsense. This is Colorado, hello!!
Says Mark:
That the Cherry Cricket is not on this list is blasphemous.Says Mike:
Benny's Restaurant & Tequila Bar because it's tasted the same 35 years.And finally, Bonnie asks:
Where's La Loma?Good question. La Loma has appeared on many of our Best Green Chile lists over the past 33 years, and since the 43-year-old restaurant will soon be moving downtown from Jefferson Park, and also building a new spot in the Platte Valley, we're guessing we'll be eating that green chile for many more years. And where will Grandma Mendoza's green be served downtown? We'll reveal La Loma's new location later today.
Remember to vote for the Best Green Chile — and many, many more favorites — in the Best of Denver 2016 Readers' Poll.
