D'Corazon (Downtown)

1530 Blake St.

Oh. My. Yum. S eats at D'Corazon at least once a week with her work buddies. Even though she changed offices and moved out of downtown, she still makes the trip, finds a parking spot and basks in the deliciousness of D'Corazon.

Nachos, enchiladas, burritos... it's all good here. The green chili is tangy and just spicy enough, made the Colorado way. The refried beans and rice are SO good. The chips are always fresh and tasty. The guacamole always is fresh. The meat is flavorful and not overly spiced. The sopapillas are fluffy and hot. In fact, the only thing we've ever had there and not loved is the salsa (which isn't bad, it's just not our cup of tea.) The service is consistently fast and friendly - waiter David is awesome! - and S can drive there, get in, enjoy lunch without rushing, and get back to her office in about an hour! Even better, the prices are awesome - for lunch for two, with two soft drinks, it's about $20, including tip!!

It's no wonder that this place is packed for lunch and dinner pretty much every day.

The location is just off of 16th and Blake. It's much too small for the amount of business that this restaurant does, but they manage to turn tables quickly enough to prevent too long of a wait. Crowded inside, you'll find that D'Corazon is tidy, and while it's noisy, it's not so bad that you have to shout to talk to your dining companions. This is a family-run operation, and they do close for most holidays, and for a couple weeks at Christmas (during which time, S goes through withdrawls.)

Inexpensive, great food, awesome service. We're almost hesitant to let the secret out! Go now.
