Craftsman in Edwards has solid burgers and tap list. But somewhat Beaver-Creekish prices.

Been there a few times. Very good, very expensive for what you get anyway. I feel like it's worth it to visit every once in a while though.

For breakfast it's hard to beat the Butterhorn Bakery in Frisco. Amazing food. Been going though since I moved to Colorado in 94.

Perfect timing on this suggestion as I’ll be in Frisco starting Friday night. Thanks!

Rocky Mountain Taco truck in Eagle-Vail. Get the Alhambre burrito. 8 bucks well spent. It's also right next to a Native Roots and Vail Brewing Company. You can kill a lot of time there. I call it the holy trinity

Sucking down burritos, beers and buds to kill time....

Chronic Tacos in Avon isn’t bad either. Rocky MTB Taco has a truck near the gondola in Avon too.

[Thessaly44]

Has anyone been to Caretta Vieja, a little east of Aspen Park? And how about that joint that's where Kermit's used to be?

Chronic is gonzo. Have a legit messican joint in there now that is geared toward the mariscos...primarily sit down. Think it's the brother of another local joint. Just a tad pricier but good.

Yeah, they've been gone for a few months (my post was from March). Haven't checked out the new place but will soon.
Avon has a few pretty good spots now. Benders Burgers is decent, owned/operated by the folks from Northside.

The Mexican place that replaced Chronic is excellent. From mariscos, aguachile, to micheladas, top notch.

I grabbed a burger at the place f/k/a Kermit's about a month ago. It was decent, and that place is basically the same as it used to be.

I was sad to notice that Westfalen Hof up Coal Creek Canyon closed the last time I drove by.

I will also throw out there that Genesee Pub and Barbecue is solid.

thought that opened back up this spring as a bar and grill? will have to go check it out.

^^^ yep, last stand tavern. http://laststandtavern.com/

looks like I'll have to stop in for a beer and a game

I drive up that way once a week all summer. It is indeed open and a bar and grill now.

[schindlerpiste]

Haven't been in awhile, but Bull & Bush in Denver (Wash Park) always made the best Eggs Taos!

[Garth Bimble]

A little off the beaten path but Pura Vida in Vallecito kills it. Unfortunately it's only open in summer.

Honorable mention to Derailed Pour House and Old Tymer's in Durango.

[Danno]

Old Tymers is still there? Shit, I ate many a taco there on taco Tuesdays in the 90s.

[stapes]

Anyone mentioned the taco truck in the Pbville Safeway/True Value parking lot? I can’t pass through without stopping anymore. Legit. Jamon torta = manna from heaven.

Yeah. I knew it was a bar now but I have not stopped in. Westfalen Haf was just a cool random little place to have a legit German restaurant. I think it was for sale for a while.

Still there but Friday is taco night now.

But the Vail NS location you get free bacon if you want...hopefully still. Haven't been by in a bit for whatever reason.
Benders is pretty good...and you can get free ice cream if you note when their shirts have a theme.

It may have been Fridays back then too, it was 20-25 years ago, and taco Tuesday kinda rolls off the tongue.

[MakersTeleMark]

And $3 after 3 at the N'side location.
