Mexican

  • Description
    Winner of Westword’s award for best green chile in 2018, D’Corazon’s entry is a true Colorado classic: thick, orange and medium-spicy. You can get pretty much anything on the menu smothered in the pork green chile, or go veggie with the (almost) equally delicious meat-free version.

  • Description
    The green chile at El Taco de Mexico is essentially a hybrid of the Colorado and New Mexico styles: a garlicky, vibrant green, tomato-less puree studded with pork fat. Up the pepper ante by getting it on the chile relleno burrito, or try the customer-favorite steak tacos.

  • Description
    This upscale Mexican restaurant in the heart of downtown Denver has been using Grandma Mendoza’s pork green chili recipe for decades. It’s mild, green and smooth, making it a great beginner green chili. Try it on its own or atop mini chile rellenos, chicken flautas or enchiladas.

    Bright green and peppery with notes of garlic and tender pieces of pork, the green chile at Tamales by La Casita is the perfect pool for — what else? — a duo of fresh, handmade tamales.

  • Description
    With multiple locations across the Denver metro, you’re never too far from a Santiago’s. And that’s a good thing, because this Mexican restaurant is a local favorite, especially when it comes to Colorado-style green chile! Available in mild, hot and half and half (medium), Santiago’s savory sauce includes both green chiles and jalapeno peppers, tomato puree and pork. The breakfast burritos get top billing, but it’s just as delicious at lunch and dinner.

    Head to North Country for a Baja, California-inspired twist on the traditional green sauce. Their mild green chili is made with roasted hatch green chilies, pork and masa (corn flour that is cooked in water with slaked lime and used to make tortillas, tamales and other Latin American dishes). Enjoy it on its own or on a breakfast burrito or huevos rancheros.Thanks,

  • Description
    The menu at Sam’s No. 3 is enormous, but one choice is easy: whatever you order, ask for it smothered in their famous green chili. They go through 60 gallons of the stuff every day, and they’ve been open for more than 90 years, so you do the math. Early birds can get their green chili fix on omelets and skillets, while the lunch crowd can order it atop a burger or the giant platter of Macho Nachos. The Tex-Mex Chili is another favorite: half red beef chili and half pork green chili.
