Green Chili
Other than its location in a historic 19th-century house just north of Jefferson Park, there’s nothing obscure about the bold flavors coming out of La Loma. Grandma Mendoza’s recipes, especially her green chile, are beloved throughout Denver. Simmering with chunks of tender pork, a zesty blend of spices, and fresh green chiles, this chile verde is too addictive to order as a side. We suggest the bowl—you can sop up the leftovers with one (or two) of La Loma’s warm, homemade flour tortillas. 2527 W. 26th Ave., 303-433-8300, www.restauranteur.com/laloma
