How do I force Yelp to allow for more than five stars? This is a ten star type of spot…read more While checking out the highlands farmers market, this truck was there! The guys in the truck were incredibly friendly. Love that one of the guys was from Lafayette, Louisiana! The breakfast croissant was heavenly. The crispy prosciutto on it was chefs kiss. I can not wait to stop by again soon to taste my way though the menu.

Don't sleep on this food truck! Sauvage is a French-Cajun inspired food truck dishing out quality…read moreeats that takes me back to my times visiting New Orleans. Or N'awlins? Or The Big Easy? Whatever they say down there, one thing is certain...Laissez les Bon temps rouler! I was at Gold Point last Friday night to support my buddy participating in an art-vendor-market-situation. PS, don't sleep on Gold Point either when in RiNo. It's a cool kids club spot with a large patio and great drinks! Anyway, back to Sauvage. I tried a few things and they're worth raving about. The Bayou Fries are BANGING. These seasoned fries doused in herbs, crispy shallots, cheese and a creole sauce are addictive. And for $9, an insane portion of them. Definitely get these and split them with someone you don't hate. A few hours later I ended up ordering the burger and it hit the dang spot. I forgot to snag a pic of the menu (and the burger itself) so I don't remember all that was in it. Plus, I may have had a cocktail or two...ANYWHO a great burger. The most notable thing about it is that they use grass-fed beef. ON a food truck? Hell yes they do! Best part of all this was the [assumed owner/chef] and the entire crew working. It was a busy Friday night on Larimer with prime weather and their ticket times were extremely efficient. I love watching businesses in their element and they seem to be seasoned vets. If y'all are reading this, I was the dude who bought you the Topo Chico! Let the good times roll.

I stopped for a Honey Rose iced latte before my stroll around the park, and was pleased by how flavorful it was. Service was quick, and luckily I got my drink before the morning Sunday rush I saw after me. The only downside was the price. Almost $8 for my medium drink, granted I opted for the $1 oat milk replacement instead of their typical whole milk. But the most surprising thing the pre-added "service charge" of 15% which the front register girl tried to hide on the screen when she turned it around to me for a signature. She initially showed me the screen without it, but then said she forgot something and added that to the tab. I think transparency with these forced gratuities/tips/charges would be great to prevent these surprise encounters, especially with to-go orders. Other than that, I do like the vibe of this place and would find it to be a good quick stop if you're craving a coffee or small bite.

It was worth the walk here, about 20 minutes, less than a mile from The Rally Hotel at McGregor…read moreSquare. Instead, we could have just as easily got an Uber here in five minutes. We came here for brunch on a Sunday morning, before heading to Coors Field to see an afternoon Rockies game. The market mainly consists of an indoor food court, with indoor and outdoor seating options. The crowd is mostly local. The vibe is casual. For our first visit, we were impressed with the food we got from Izzio Bakery, and the coffee we got from Crema Bodega. I have reviewed these separately.

If you are visiting Denver, you have to stop by The Denver Central Market. It is easily one of the…read morebest spots in the city for friends and family, especially if no one can decide on what to eat. There are a bunch of different places to check out inside, so everyone can grab exactly what they want and still sit together. Today, I specifically visited Call Your Mother, a Jewish deli, and Izzio Bakery. Atmosphere: Since I went right around the time they opened, the atmosphere was exactly what I needed. It was super laid-back and chill, making it the perfect place to get out of the house for a calm morning. As it gets later into the day and through the weekends, I know it gets very busy, but there is plenty of random seating throughout the hall and even some outdoor spots if you prefer. Parking: Parking is going to be street parking. Make sure you read the signs, but it is usually free. Even when the market is busy, I usually don't have to walk more than a block to get inside. So it is a very convenient location for the RiNo area. Service: The customer service throughout the market is great. At Call Your Mother, the cashier was very sweet, and they even text you when your food is ready. Over at Izzio Bakery, everyone is super kind and helpful while you're looking at their amazing pastry display. Even with a line, you're usually only waiting about 10 to 12 minutes for your items. Food: The food variety here is incredible. I tried the Sun City breakfast bagel sandwich from Call Your Mother and the hot honey was the perfect balance of sweet and spice on a toasted bagel. For a sweet treat, I went to Izzio Bakery for the Dulce de Leche Queen. The pastry case there looks like something out of a movie. The pastry itself was perfectly crisp on the outside with a delicious yellow vanilla cream and cinnamon on the inside. Overall Experience: Overall, I really enjoy coming here and trying new places. It is a fantastic destination for groups or just a solo morning out. Whether you want a savory breakfast bagel sandwich or a beautiful pastry, The Denver Central Market always hits the spot. I'll definitely be back to explore more.

Ma's…read morekitchen next door has a seating format that's a bit more family/group gathering friendly than Ma's kitchen dim sum & bar. Service is always friendly and prompt, and you can order off of both menus regardless of which restaurant you're in. Some of our favorites include the clay pot eggplant, the XO sauce green beans, the Sichuan boiled fish and the black pepper short ribs. Don't sleep on their dim sum offerings, and we also love their soup dumplings (truly some of the best I've had in Denver/Aurora), their pan fried steamed bun and their chili oil dumplings. Whenever we go, it's always a dilemma of not over-ordering, but that's a very small problem to have. Def worth checking out! Their takeout is also very well-packaged and comes in an insulated bag.

We were so excited to try this place after reading all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, we were…read moreunimpressed. The food wasn't bad, but there are more flavorful dumplings elsewhere in the city. The pepper beef was okay, but came with the smallest serving of rice I've ever gotten from a takeaway. The scallion pancakes are perfectly crispy, but would benefit from a dipping sauce. We also got coconut buns and the coconut rice pudding. I loved that the latter looks like a little bunny! So cute. It wasn't for us though. It mainly tasted of coconut and cream. A bit bland. We also weren't fans of the coconut buns. Maybe they're better hot?
