Even though out-of-staters may not realize it (since we are always outside and unintentionally working off those pesky calories), those of us in the Mile High City LOVE to eat! If we had to choose just one food to eat every day for the rest of our lives, however, it would hands down be the creamy and zesty goodness known as green chile. Where does one go to get the best green chile in the city? While there are countless Denver restaurants serving up their own special recipe, we here at Only in Denver just can’t seem to get enough of the mouthwatering green chile served up from inside this unassuming restaurant:

Located in Denver's University neighborhood lies the hidden gem known as El Tejado; a decades old, family-owned restaurant that boasts a friendly staff, full bar, and some of the best Mexican food in the city.

Featuring made-to-order favorites like quesadillas, enchiladas, and out-of-this-world chips and salsa, there is truly no going wrong with El Tejado, which also serves up a mean margarita that guarantees to take the edge off of any hard day.
