Calling all foodies: these 5 Commerce City Mom & Pop restaurants are well worth the visit!
Butcher Block Cafe
The Butcher Block is everything a hole-in-the-wall place should be: homey, friendly, and great tasting! The “Round House” plate comes highly recommended by frequenters and includes eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, cheese, hash browns, toast, and your choice of country gravy or green chili.
El Jardin
El Jardin’s is definitely one of the Commerce City Mom & Pop restaurants you don’t want to miss. If you’re into green chile, look no further - their green chile is so good that people order it by the pint . The margaritas and sopapillas are also a local hit, so prepare yourself for a party in your mouth! Lastly, ask for a rewards card on your way out, because you’ll definitely want to come back!
Stephanie’s Cafe
Patrons of Stephanie’s Cafe all agree: you’re family here. It’s a quiet atmosphere with delicious homestyle food, always served with a smile. Traditionally made menudo, tamales, and pozole can be found on the menu next to the $1.99 breakfast burritos (!!!).Top notch American cuisine like steak and eggs can also be found here.
Ted’z Place
Ted’z Place serves Mexican, American, and Italian food made from scratch (down to the tortilla chips!). Come here for a game of horseshoes or play pool while enjoying happy hour. You’re guaranteed an original home-style meal made from one of Ted’s personal recipes, and you may even get to meet him should he ever come out of the kitchen!
Deno’s 6 & 85
It might be the oldest truck stop in Colorado, but you don’t have to be a trucker to eat at Deno’s 6 & 85. This greasy spoon joint offers friendly service 24 hours a day and a choice of American or Mexican dishes. If you’re looking for somewhere to keep your coffee cup full, this Commerce City Mom & Pop is the place to be!
