If there is one thing that Coloradans know (aside from raking in tax money with legal cannabis, brewing beer, and every outdoor recreational opportunity known to man), it is Mexican food. Whether you are smothering a burrito in a delicious homemade green chile, beginning your day with huevos rancheros smothered in green chile, or enjoying Taco Tuesday (with green chile-topped tacos), you are guaranteed to be getting both a tasty and satisfying meal! If you are searching for what is arguably the best Mexican food in the state, check out this unassuming Colorado town and this unforgettable, family-owned Mexican restaurant:
Located in the southwest Colorado town of La Junta lies the incredible Mexico City Cafe; a family-owned establishment that serves some of the best Mexican food outside of -- well -- Mexico City!
