Tequila Jalisco Family Restaurant

The Best Mexican Food in Denver | Eater Denver

"While utterly succulent carnitas are its claim to fame, this Arvada gem’s menu is dotted front to back with must-try dishes derived from the owners’ upbringing in Michoacán — including aporreadillo, a homey mixture of beef jerky and scrambled egg in tomato sauce; morisqueta, or pinto beans and rice topped with fried pork, green chile, and queso fresco; and enchiladas la huacana, which come smothered in a pasilla chile sauce alongside roasted chicken on the bone. To drink, old-school cocktails at old-school prices — $9 Tequila Sunrises, for instance — are as refreshing as the service is attentive." - Ruth Tobias
