La Machaca De Mi Ama

The Best Mexican Food in Denver | Eater Denver

"Like its seafood-centric sibling El Coco Pirata — known for its Sinaloan-style sushi — this Aurora spot pays tribute to the traditions of the owners’ home region, though the menu here runs a much larger (and meatier) gamut. Look for items that mention either Sinaloa or the cities of Culicán or Mocorito by name — for instance, sopitas con huevos, which are similar to migas; chilaquiles with the simmered pork called chilorio; and shrimp-filled tacos el gobernador, not to mention soups and stews galore. Of course, the eponymous machaca (dried, shredded beef) also plays a role in several dishes." - Ruth Tobias
