Good Mexican Places Near Stapleton, Denver, Colorado
Be still my beating heart. I have found not one, but five!, great, Mexican places near my home in Stapleton at Northfield. Just off 72nd and Quebec is a treasure trove of Mexican restaurants, and I鈥檝e visited them all. Here鈥檚 my review of 5 mostly cheap, good Mexican places near Stapleton.
I am a Mexican food snob. I grew up on street tacos in Tijuana, ate my first fish taco when I was six, and rate all Mexican food on these experiences. If the food comes on a large platter with tons of sour cream, if mariachis come and sing at my table, or if sombreros hang on the wall, you are NOT in a Mexican restaurant. You鈥檙e in a GRINGO restaurant. There鈥檚 nothing wrong with Gringo places鈥搕hey鈥檙e good鈥揵ut they can keep their fajitas and nachos. Give me horchata, menundo, and hombres with cowboy hats for this review.
One last point: this review is about exposing these restaurants and creating an invite to go into them. It鈥檚 not so much about the food鈥搃t鈥檚 more about what to expect when you walk in. I know so many folks who get a bit anxious about walking into a place where the menu is in Spanish, you鈥檙e not sure what the meats are, or what to expect.
