La Casa De Manuel - Denver

My wife has been coming here for over 30 years. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. I would rate the food 5 out of 5.

I absolutely love this place! I have been a customer since they were at their previous location. The family who runs the restaurant is amazing and always knows my order as soon as I sit down. The food is a perfect 5 out of 5.

I grew up eating at this restaurant just like many others. I'm 52 years old now. Unfortunately, it seems like the restaurant is permanently closed, but it will be remembered fondly. While the green chili may not have been the best, the memories from over the years more than make up for it.

The last holdout of old upper Larimer Street in what is now Hipsterville. The Silva family 's unpretentious, delicious food brings back memories of study sessions during CU prof. Tom Noel 's office hours (really just pregame for a pub crawl) at the old Manuel 's location at 2010 Larimer. Get the wet burrito and an order of barbacoa tacos with the world-class spice of Manuel 's fresh salsa, and harken back to a time when the denizens of this neighborhood were regular working-class people and not entitled, scooter-riding sockhead fuckwits.

For the comment about the owner being their dad, and the third wife and kids and what not, it 's been more than a few years. I have been going to this restaurant for decades with my family and we 've only seen the owner with his family who still works and owns the restaurant.....if you were looking for your dad.... why didn 't you look 6 decades ago? curious loyal customer here. Absolute gem however, this restaurant has been in the same location for years and still has that beautiful mexican indigenous spanish feel. Carnitas are a must, their smothered burritos are even better! you have to have old Colorado roots to appreciate this joint.
