Best Cozy Restaurants in Lakewood

Just ate here for the first time. I was hoping it would live up to the largely positive reviews. It did. We were party of four and every appetizer and entree was delicious. Given the quality and quantity of the food the prices were more than reasonable in my opinion. I haven't said that about a restaurant in quite a while.

We sat at the counter and really enjoyed chatting with the chef throughout our meal. It felt like we were hanging out at his house, eating at the kitchen island while he cooked. The chef recommended the camote asado, callo de hacha al horno, enmoladas de pollo, and the taco de suadero. Our favorite bites were the enmoladas de pollo and the taco de suadero. The tortillas and sauces are so good! We also had the birria de borrego which was really good but not quite worth the price compared to the other dishes we enjoyed.

Always a fabulous evening at this neighborhood gem. I met three new neighbors at the bar. And I'm in LOVE with the new lamb chop appetizer !!!

Amazing experience! Started with the prosciutto, a pinot grigio, and had the tagliatelle, followed by the torta. It was all so wonderful! HIGHLY recommend the tagliatelle!! I sat at the bar, where Caesar waited on me, and he was exceptional. Highly attentive but not over-bearing; he was personable and friendly. I loved the ambiance as well. It should also be said, Caesar went above and beyond, and is an expert in his craft! Make a reservation, and you will not be disappointed.

Love this place. Consistent and great for older folks. Mom adores it. Wish I’d watched dore this house 35 years ago when I was a kid!!! Kudos to the Wheat Ridge mayor for a select restoration.
