edpaffjr.comCall off the search, we have found a great Mexican restaurant in Denver! With little going on this past Friday, Kim and I decided to head out for dinner after work. I consulted my 5280 magazine from July, which featured the Top Of The Town article, and decided to try the readers’ choice for best Mexican restaurant, Benny’s Restaurante y Tequila Bar (301 E 7th Ave).
I had a combination plate consisting of a cheese enchilada, smothered bean burrito, and a guacamole tostada. I think my favorite thing on the plate was the guacamole. I would highly recommend having their guacamole in some form or another. The rest of my food was delicious as well. Kim ordered a chicken rellenos, which she really seemed to enjoy. I did not try more than a little bite of it, since I had enough food of my own. We also split a liter of margaritas on the rocks, another thing that I would highly recommend. Overall, the food was great and we will definitely be back sometime in the near future.
What happened to the place with the gorilla and the waterfall? That was my favorite part of my trip out…
So far I’ve held to my promise of never returning there.
