I enjoy eating, so let me recommend you some restaurants I've tried so far in the places Iโve visited. Also I live in Madrid so I can recommend olรฉ tu of restaurants there.
because mexican food can be elevated, and it can also be street food. it has so many faces and flavors that not only one version of your abuelitas cocina is true, from north to south, there is so much richness and variety that is hard for one single mexican to even know the complexity and the full variety of it. Every corner of mexico is capable of its own version of mole, barbacoa, or tacos and its so beautiful to experience all of it without judgement and with openness to appreciate. this post is to showcase some of the modern mexican concept restaurants that I am so happy to see thrive in a place like Denver. That for sooo many years you could not find a vast or true representation of all that is Mexican cuisine can be. I am also a fan of the aesthetics and the experience bc I am also *just a girl* so these are honestly a fave for date nights, girls night, or a celebratory dinner spot.

I picked up my love of cooking from my grandparents, one on either side of the family. My mother's mother always had the ingredients on hand for a cake or a fresh batch of dinner rolls, and it didn't take much to convince her to bust them out. My father's father, on the other hand, was a man who lived to feed his community. He grew up during the Depression, and nothing gave him more joy than laying out a giant table of food and sitting back to watch his loved ones eat. I learned the joy of good food from both of them.
