With the State Fair coming in, this is Pueblo's day in the sun.

I notice lunch and dinner rushes, the locals who come in, the tourists who come in. Having said that, I do understand business. So there are few people who will take my word for who's got the best eats in town. And with my cast iron stomach, I'm alive to tell about it. In my early 20's I would hit Denver's Casa Bonita restaurant for the all you can eat. It will run the vampires off for sure!Īnybody like tamales? There's a tamale house near the Dew Drop on south Sante Fe that I'm gonna check out next. I'm working on it! But man, I can eat it up! It's like medicine for me. I'm an Irishman, so my green is still too much like Stew. It's a bit more marketable than my Green Chile, to be honest. Otherwise, I'd invite you all over to our pad for MrsGowdog's Tomatillo chile with Pork. I'm merely trying to inform people of places they might check out when they're in town. In my OP, don't you see that I'm still looking for some of the off the beaten path places?Īnother thing that you said that I agree with too is that one place does this really good, while this place over here does this really good. So I asked him, who's got the best New Mexico type food in Pueblo ? He said this place is good. Perhaps some of my favs fit this category. His point being that the best food is homemade and not at one of these places where they mass produce the stuff.

and he said the best Mexican food is made by his mom and grandma. So I went to a friend of mine from here who used to live and work in Albuquerque, Sante Fe, Las Vegas. A friend brought it to my attention that he has still had better food in New Mexico than one of my spots in Pueblo.I tore it up! It tasted awesome and I’d have no clue where to get food like that in Colorado except at someone’s home. A friend of mine that I worked with in Englewood was from Chihuahua and brought me some kind of stew that had pork feet in it. My friend from Monterey Mexico raves about the goat meat there. You’re not gonna see fresh yellowtail in Pueblo, obviously. This is just a testament to me that there are many different types of Mexican food.The thread isn't limited to one person's recommendations it's meant to be a resource for all of us with many recommendations.

If you've found places you enjoy in Pueblo, please share your recommendations here. and I'll seek out those out of the way hole in the wall places that have the real stuff and flavor and value for my money. A lot of people do, which is why those places survive in business. If you like the places the OP mentioned, if you enjoy that stuff. it's in an old plain commercial building storefront, and the kitchen is lost in the vast space of the place.īut to each their own. I've been in one of these places in Pueblo. you'll have to go into the ethnic mexican neighborhoods where the small "mom and pop" family restaurants exist. all served without half the platter covered in rice and refried beans smothered with cheese and a bit of shredded iceberg lettuce. as each of us sees it.īut, if you want ceviche, pork ribs, simple whole chicken dishes, turkey, fresh/simple seafood dishes, albondigas soup, good menudo, superb chili soups/stews. The forum is here for us to exchange information.
