I guess this is standard now? Fancy plating so half the salad missing? Was literally like 5-6 bites and then gone, I even asked them if there was some mistake and they said it was their “micro salad” whatever the f that means.
Where did it come from? Who are the owners? How did they expand so fast in the Metro? The menu is nothing special but here they are still growing and expanding, and not many people talk about them.
Is this the Los Pollos Hermanos of Denver? Or am I just shooting from my hip?
authenticity is the most important to me. i’d especially appreciate palestinian owned if there are any in denver or surrounding areas!
Im looking to potentially try a new spot for shawarma even tho i love the place i have been going for years. I usually go to Jerusalem Restaurant. If you have not tried it I highly recommend. Please put me onnn, middle eastern spots in general too doesn't have to have shawarma
Cheap or fancy. Any style/ ethnicity.
Just stand out joints that are great at what they do in the area.
Bonus points for a Denver/ Colorado specialty dishes. Or old, legendary places.
Hey, gang! I've been tasked with organizing a friend's memorial wake and was hoping for some suggestions. His parents want something akin to a bar and grill so people can drink in his memory while also enjoying lunch. Ordinarily, I'd have plenty of ideas but there's a few caveats I'm having to work around:
I know that's a lot but it's what I'm having to juggle. Any and all suggestions are appreciated, thank you.
I was reeeeally excited to try the Dirty Martini Bucantini and was a little disappointed when they changed the menu over. That being said, the Bucatini Primavera was fantastic! We also had the Pimento Cheese Agnolotti and crispy broccolini, and both were excellent. Really liked the vibe, great service, and overall a lovely time. What should we have gotten off the new menu that we’ll get next time?
does anyone know of any nice / dressier gluten free places that i could go for dinner? it doesn’t have to be 100% gluten free but an understanding of cross contamination and gluten free options would be great!
Doing a quick trip in mid June for concert at Red Rocks. 4 guys, all first timers to Denver visiting from LA.
Would love your thoughts on what types of cuisines we should target. Like if anyone visited LA, I’d insist they get Mexican, Korean, breakfast burritos…things i know we do top tier compared to the rest of the country (i’m not opening the can of worms and saying we’re the best at anything though lol).
Been crawling this sub for suggestions, much appreciated!
Stop by after an interview and had some of the most moist BBQ chicken I've ever had in Denver....maybe even from my grill lol. Ps huge fan of El rico pollo/Mexican rotisserie places so please slide me recommendations as well :)
Been living here for about 3 months now, but as someone from Louisiana I've been craving some shrimp or chicken poboys
If anybody knows good spots, lmk! I'm closer to the Aurora MLK area
Mici Italian is now open until midnight every night at 727 Colorado Blvd only. I was there last night at 11:15 PM and had a delicious calzone. I live in Parker so I try to go this part of town at night after the traffic subsides. I also noticed a few other places along Colorado Blvd that are open to midnight: 1. Cheeba Hut at 745 Colorado Blvd. 2. Coconino - Snacks & Tea at 1390 S Colorado Blvd #140 3. Toki Ramen & Sushi at 1390 S Colorado Blvd. # 120 . It's nice to see Denver's late night dining scene is expanding.
Drove by Asian Cajun and it has since turned into a pho spot. Anyone know what happened?
I am flying in to Denver tomorrow morning, landing around ~10am. I grew up in Boulder and Denver as a young kid from ‘97-01 and am excited to come back for free, on my own. I am driving down to Pueblo for work. Im not trying to spend too much time in Pueblo, as this is my second trip for work.
My ask is: where is a good spot to drive in from the Denver airport to have lunch and see the city before I drive down to Pueblo to check in to my hotel. I’m coming from New Orleans so anything remotely funky is encouraged.
Any advice is appreciated. I’ve checked the awesome r/denver FAQ but any nuance is appreciated. Apologies if this violates any subreddit guidelines.
So our friends group tried Marinas Italian today and it was pretty good. My camera quality isn’t the best. They had a Tuesday special. It’s in a strip mall in Denver off Parker road next to a neighborhood Walmart near four square mile.
I forgot to take pics of the garlic knots but I ate 5 cause they were good. I also didn’t take a pic of the Caesar salad but the restaurant has a Tuesday special on pasta.
Surprisingly, I didn’t realize they don’t serve alcohol until I left and went home. Our group didn’t care. It was a lovely night and everyone enjoyed their food and the server was very attentive. I think the owner served us. This was my first visit and I would go back.
looking for a spot to go for a birthday -- 30 ish minutes from denver max. somewhere that has good vibes, easy for a group of 10 ish, plus for mountain view. im not really a brewery person
i looked at Balistreri Vineyards but not sure!
I have a res coming up but it’s just for 2 so I won’t be able to try everything. What are the must-tries for food and drink? Thanks!
Hey, everyone I'm on the hunt for a good steak frites (the classic French dish not steak fries) at a place that would be open between 9 pm - Midnight on a Saturday night. Prefer in the LoHi, Wheat Ridge, and Downtown areas (RiNo + LoDo). Bonus points if the bar has absinthe, but not a deal breaker.
I have a big birthday coming up but will be busy til at least 8:30 PM that day, hence the specific time frame. Thanks for the help!
I love Colombian arepas con queso that use very finely milled masa and completely enclose the fully-melted cheese. El Chuletazo Grill had perfect ones I used to drive across town to eat. Since they closed, I've only been able to find types with coarser masa grinds, cut open, etc, which all lend different textures and moisture content than the type I'm seeking. Pupusas also have lower moisture and a thinner layer of masa than I'm looking for.
I tried La Chiva, Quiero Arepas, Mr Arepa, Arepas House, Arepas CO, Pupusas House, Masa Bros, Arepa Bros, La Tinto, Fuego y Masa, and more without finding them.
Anyone have a lead on a restaurant, food truck, or even a home cook I can buy this style from?
