If you’re a huge taco lover, this is a restaurant for you! With a wide variety of tacos, Torchy’s gives you everything you could want! Fan favorites include The Democrat and The Trailer Park. If you want an extra amazing taco, ask the cashier to, ‘make it trashy,’ and get queso instead of lettuce.

Cherry Cricket

2641 E 2nd Ave, Denver, CO 80206

The fun thing about this restaurant is that you can customize your burger any way you want. First, you pick the size of your burger. Then, you can pick any of the sides they offer to put on your burger. My personal favorite is a burger with cream cheese, raspberry jelly and bacon.
