Colorado Maggot Approved Places to Eat Along I-70, 285, etc

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.

I believe it has been mentioned and yes, it is money.

Don’t know if 2brothers deli in Idaho Springs has been mentioned but that place is great for a quick sandwich when passing through. Been stopping there for years and the ladies are always super nice.

Stopped at Tommyknocker the other day after not going in for a while. They are still making good food and beer. Westbound and Down/ Buffalo is nice but it is good to switch it up and go back to the classic every once in a while.

Tommy's nut brown ale paired with their (huge) fish and chips is a very good way to end a ski day.

I like Westbound, but its just not as cozy as the bar at Tommyknockers.

If you're in G-town, Guanella pass brewery's beers are solid. The food situation is fucky -- okay but slow italian from down the block. Recommend getting take out at the new Vietnamese place and bringing along with ya.

I miss the little Euro place that was where the pho place is now. Also miss the Red Ram. Used to meet the grand parents there on fridays for fish and chips.
Guanella pass Brewing is ok. Agreed on the food situation. They also won’t fill growlers only their Crowlers. Seems kinda dumb to turn down sales in a little place like Gtown.

I went to Guanella Pass Brewery last month and found their beer (IPA's) overpriced and meh. It was beer but nothing that I would return for.

I don't usually drink IPAs so maybe depends on what they're making.

Solid -- not particularly great.

Btw. Why is this thread in the weather forum?

Taqueria No Se Hagan Bolas in Avon, for après Beav tacos/tortas/etc. FKNA.

Can confirm. Legit. Chek tacos are NOT Czech meat.

Pro-tip: don't order the Horchata for lunch if you plan to climb the Beaver Creek access road to ride Paulie's Plunge.

Yeah, super nice staff (Alta, I think, is the name of the lady who is always there?). And their breakfast burrito is a great way to start your day, it's HUDGE.

Haha, that is a good question. Seems like this forum is a little hideaway for Colorado mags; the I-70 bitch thread doesn't really belong here either (FWIW, I think the fact that the I-70 thread is here is what led to this thread being here too EDIT: looked at the OP, and yep, that's the reason).

Agree - whenever I head up to the high country for a ride, I try to drop by. Their burritos are enough for breakfast *and* an on-trail lunch. Mmmmm... sausage and green chile...

Main st cafe in IS is pretty darn awesome too.

50 Burger in Salida was pretty good. It's a little off 285 (on Hwy 50, duh), but only a few miles. Kinda pricey though.

too pricey for a damn burger. If your that way Id go to Boathouse Cantina (my friends wife is the GM) or Hunger Trailer in Poncha.

See post #1. It was a spin-off of the I-70 Bitch thread.

Now that the highway's closed, what's good to eat around here?
