Where is the Best Family-Friendly Dining in Denver, Colorado?
I remember going to Casa Bonita years ago. I loved it. I have been about once a year the last few years but have decided “no more”. I’m sorry if it’s your kid’s birthday but I’m not spending that much money again for what you get. We were there early, gathering for my 14 yr old niece’s birthday get-together. The lines weren’t long, which was good. But, alas, when we were at the section where the food comes out the little windows, we entertained ourselves by keeping the flies off the food. They were everywhere. The girl handing out the food also had to run and get the drinks for us, leaving the food unattended. They managed to sit us all together at the bottom of the cliff diving pool. Not bad except at one point my brother in law had to swat a 6-legged(roach) running across his table. The food was cold, we actually had to replace my mom’s meal. I love the sopapillas, always have. But, now you have to ask for the cinnamon that used to come on the sopapillas automatically. Hopefully you
This place is so fun. When it was Falcon Bowl, it was cool but now they added Moe’s BBQ…such a good move as it is the BEST! geta group and come bowl on one side and then watch live music on the other, not to mention pool table and games. You need to check this place out!Pros + Awesome BBQ, bowling & Live musicCons – off the beat in path a bit but worth the drive
From the outside you can’t tell it hides an interior from the bobby sock, poodle skirt era. There are pinball machines and red leather booths. The best thing about this place was the food. It was so good we went two days in a row for breakfast. I had the biscuits with sausage gravy and my husband had the Rascal, which was a large pancake breakfast. My breakfast did not come with meat (just biscuits, gravy, eggs and hash brown) so I got a side of bacon one morning and side of ham the following. Both the meat and eggs were cooked just as ordered. My husbands eggs were also perfect (over medium).Of course you’re probably saying, how can they mess up breakfast…but I have been to places that have. Pros + fast service, good food, great value
My family loves El Jardin. I was reading these posts and PKYPKY doesn’t have a clue what he/she is talking about. This is by far the BEST Mexican food in Colorado. We have had nothing but professional customer service and they really care. The specials are good deals with $2 burrito days, and top quality. I own a business and I know you can’t make everyone happy, and realize that not every business is perfect. My suggestion to everyone is to try it yourself. This restaurant is wonderful and me, my husband, kids and extended families love it. One of our favorites is the Fajita Burrito supreme…YUMMY! The only bummer is that we have to drive a little bit out of the way to get there, but it is WELL worth it. The parking can be tough on a busy night, but I guess that goes to show you that if they are full, then they must be good! I highly recommend El Jardin!Pros + Excellent Food, Great Taste…love the HOT green chili!Cons – Parking on a busy night.
My only complaint is the wait. Even when we have reservations, we still seem to have to wait about 30 minutes. People who walked in off the street were told the wait was 30-40 minutes for them. Besides that, this is one of our favorite places to go. You get a ton of food, all of it is delicious. Be prepared to eat a lot of meat. Thier salads and sides are fantastic, the meat is perfectly prepared, and the desserts are fabulous. So as long as you are not in a hurry, it’s a great place to go.Pros + Great food and lots of itCons – Long wait even with reservations
