I found this place totally out of the blue looking for the best burrito in town. Lo and Behold, I tried the Torta (which was pretty good) and took a Menudo (this red soup with tripe) to go. I remember eating menudo when I was a kid back in Brazil, and it brings back very good memories. The menudo here is a little more bland than I remember, but it's still pretty good.

This is trully a hole in the wall and probably my new favorite mexican restaurant. It looks like crap from the outside, and the inside is kinda hectic (cuz they are a little short on staff). So getting your order might take awhile, but it's worth the wait, I think.

I must come back again for the Menudo and perhaps I'll try the Burritos or Enchiladas.

the owner is Korean but the workers are HIspanic. Nothing against, them... in fact, I am used to that. The Korean food is alright, and they are open pretty late. Sort of small, but all in all, an okay place to have food. It is cheaper than Korean bbq, and their dishes are just as good. They don't serve as many side dishes (about 3 to be exact), which is a huge contrast to other korean restaurants in the area that serve like 20. I'll come back again for some cheap Korean food.

I love how the produce is much cheaper than any other market around town. It is pretty fresh too, but it could be a hit or miss depending on when you go during the week. If you need your Mexican groceries fix, Azteca is the place to go. I can't believe I've been going to Safeway this whole time. Parking is tough (probably because ppl think it is smart to drive against traffic in the parking lot).

Yeah. BTW... don't try the mexican food joint right next to it.

Ted's Montana Grill is pretty good, but it has questionable service. Why does it take 20 minutes to get our bills when the restaurant is virtually empty at the end of the day? I liked their burgers (which are big). It looks a lot fancier than it actually is.

The meat choices are either beef or Bison, and I recommend the beed. The bison isnt as juicy (because it is leaner) and the flavour not much different. Yeah.

It could get a little pricey (just a tid bit more expensive than TGIF or Red Robins).

I like it how the broth is better than pho 75 (which is an Aurora crowd favorite). However because Pho Duy is sort of in the middle of nowhere and a little out of the way, it is not as packed as it should be. It is convenient for me because it's so close to my school.

I recommend Pho Duy if you are in the area.

Alright... alright... I admit I am a California homer and I've been really harsh on some reviews here in Denver (especially when it comes down to pho). I am a food snob, and Denver never appealed to me as a foodie center. However, I have no shame in telling you that Pho95 is hands down the BEST pho I have ever had. It doesnt compare with other Pho restaurants anywhere.

The broth is twice as flavorful as John Gold's (the Pulitzer prize winner for food reviews) favorite pho joint, Goldern Deli. Make sure you get the filet mignon bowl of pho (which is $2 extra, but it is packed with meat). Yeah. It's a long way from my house, but it is so worth it.

5 stars.

I heard from someone that this was a pretty good IN&OUT immitation. First of all, let me lay down some key differences:
(1) IN&OUT's buns are toasted. Old School Burgers aren't.
(2) IN&OUT burgers are cheaper.
(3) In&OUT's fries are fresh and made with quality trans fat free oil. Old School Burger fries looked old and were way too greasy.
(4) IN&OUT burger's hamburger patty are of better quality.
(5) The secret sauce at IN&OUT is superior.

All in all, Old School Burger is a pretty good place to eat a good burger. I simply cannot see myself giving more than 3.5 stars because it is not original and because it is a poor imitation of something else. I don't know what else to say about it... I don't like imitations.

Actually I was gonna give 3 stars, but i decided to add an extra 0.5 for being so close to my house and for tasting similar to my favorite burger. Yeah...

Chapeau! Gran Magnifique! Bistro Vendome deserves 4 stars (come to think of it, I think considering the price and the quality of the dishes, it really is a 5 star place). This is a really good bistro at a very reasonable price. The meats are so well marinated and the starches so flavourful with the right spices. I think the chef has it right. I thought the atmosphere would be quite casual, but as I sat down I noticed most people were professionals (meaning no one wore anything resembling a t-shirt and shorts). The Escargot appetizer was delicious and the lamb was so good. I personally thought the pork chops, though very well grilled and well seasoned, was a wee bit dry. I'd opt for other entrees.

The decor wasn't exactly top top of the line, but it's definetely what you call a white table cloth joint. Service was charming and always ask for the chocolate torte at the very end. Yeah...

They have good food! I love their sandwiches and drinks. It's a good place for a big get together. I was a little bit isolated from the other stuff in LoDo.

I likey...

The lounge sits in the middle of nowhere (it seems), and parking can be hard. I feel like my experience there was alright... the place was packed on friday night. The decor is pretty cool, but it is quite questionable that they use religious items to decorate their pagan lounge. They've got this huge buddha statue sitting in the middle of the stage (yes, there is a stage there). The dance floor is not exactly a dance floor. The people were alright. I didn't see a lot of old people (which is pretty good, cuz then that'd be weird).

I don't know exactly what to say to the management about their establishment... they are clearly trying hard to make it work (and it seems to have good business). I think perhaps is they had some cooler lights and a few dancers (and a real dance floor), this lounge would be awesome. The location could had been better, but whatever... i'll stop complaining.
