    Thanksgiving special!
    Argentina F.

    We finally found a Guatemalan restaurant and it didn't disappoint! Hours are Monday through Saturday 7 AM - 8 PM (with kitchen closing at 7 PM) Also open on Sunday 7 AM - 7 PM (with kitchen closing at 6 PM) They are also doing Thanksgiving specials (for at home dining) and will also be open on Thanksgiving day! Has a little bread bakery and also a central American supermarket! It's a sit down restarant but you order and pay at counter and you get a little number to which they'll deliver the food to you! *credit card does have a 3% surcharge* We tried: - Tapa Chapina $26.99 (almost like a sampler platter) This was almost like a Sampler Platter, it contained 1 chuchito, 1 chipilin, 2 chicken empanadas, 2 garnachas, 1 rellenito and 2 tostadas (1 beef/1 curtido) -Caldo de Gallina Was a broth with potatoes and carrots and greens with some rice on the side, half an avacado, tortillas, lime and your selection of either leg or breast! Amazing and glad we finally found this place! Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try Guatemalan or just some good food! We will be back!

    A co-worker of mine is from Guatemala and recommended this small restaurant with adjacent grocery store on east Colfax just west of Havana St. I googled them. It appears to be the only Guatemalan restaurant in Colorado. The menu boards are in Spanish, but their website provides photos and English ingredients. You order at the counter, get your soft drinks (no alcohol) and a table sign. The order taker, Paola C. said it would be 20-30 minutes since everything is prepared fresh. I ordered the Tapa Chapina combo plate for $24.99 and a Guatemalan hot dog called Shucos for $ 9.99 + a Mandarin Jarritos. The Shucos came out first. It was much bigger than a U.S. or Korean version of a hot dog. It had lots of meat (asada, chorizo, al pastor, longaniza (skinless sausage)) with cabbage and dressing. A meal in itself. I ate it all!! About 10 minutes later, the female chef brought out the Tapa Chapina on a large platter. I instantly knew I could not eat it all. I got 2 tostadas with curtido (slightly fermented cabbage) and beef. I got 2 garnachas, a street version of mini crunchy tortillas with various toppings. My had chicken & cabbage. Two chicken empanadas with salsa. A churchito, a pork filled tamale cooked in banana leaves and a chipilin, a corn masa dish with chipilin leaves also cooked in a banana leaf. The tamale was larger than the Mexican version and the Chipilin leaves tasted similar to spinach. I took home the 2 tostadas and the chicken empanadas . No cheese other than dry queso. They have plastic utensils but eco friendly takeout packages. The small grocery store has a cooler case of fresh cheeses, canned fruit juices, various cooking beans and dry items, cookies, fresh bread and pastries + an expansive rack of spices and herbs.

    LOVE this place! I always get the pupusa. Great place to also get Hispanic treats I can't get anywhere else. Idk what Miriam's(aka Karen) review is talking about. I have never gotten sick from this food...ever. And also don't go to a specialty store with imported goods and expect walmart prices. Like...anyways. I love the Salvadorian coffee they sell. They deserve 5 stars! Also very kind staff.

    If you want a yummy unique Denver biscuit breakfast experience -- this is your spot. Located inside…read morethe Stanley marketplace, you'll find Denver Biscuit Company. Not sure if you can make reservations, but the hubby and I walked-in without one. We chose to sit at the bar. I kid you not, the couple next to us ordered their food and it came out in less than 5 minutes. We were all impressed. The bar tender was our server, he made us delicious mimosas. They have an extensive drink list btw. If I was feeling extra fun, I would've ordered an espresso martini. Now to the main course, I opted for something different, "the K-Mack" which includes a Korean fried buttermilk chicken with a cabbage slaw and green onions. It was so good. My mouth is watering thinking about it again haha. Aside from our delicious brunch, the restaurant vibe screams Denver. Lots of decor, plants, art, different kind of seating. It's fun. It's welcoming. It's so Denver and I'm here for it.

    It's been a few years since i've been to Denver but I remember stopping here last time I was in…read moretown. The staff were cool & friendly. Generally service was great. I ordered the pink pony club drink from the specials menu & the ellsworth w/ a side of hash browns for my entree. The sandwich was as good as I remember, however I didn't care for the hash browns. I love that they offer sweet and savory biscuits options and if biscuits aren't your thing they have quite a few other options for food.
