Walking into this place felt like rediscovering a neighborhood I once called home. I lived in Wash Park for 13 years, and while it’s always been a great area, it was never exactly known for standout restaurants. After moving to the suburbs a few years ago, I met a friend there for lunch this summer and stumbled upon this spot by chance.
From the moment we stepped inside, the inviting decor, warm service, and lively atmosphere pulled us right in.We sat outside on a gorgeous sunny day, sipping what I’m convinced are the best margaritas in town, and the food completely blew us away. My friend and I have since gone back, which says a lot because we usually like to try new places but this one keeps calling us back.
Last night, I brought my husband and daughter to celebrate the 17th anniversary of our first date, which, coincidentally, took place in the same building years ago when it was Wash Park Tavern. Now reinvented as a Mexican restaurant, it’s officially become one of our favorites. My husband even said it’s the best Mexican food in all of Denver, and I agree, we happily drove 30 minutes across town for it.
The place was buzzing on a Friday night, so make a reservation if you go. The queso with braised beef was phenomenal, the steak fajitas were among the best I’ve ever had, and the margaritas are still perfection. We wrapped up with the Ghirardelli brownie and ice cream, which absolutely knocked my socks off. We’ll definitely be back — again and again.
