El Callejon - Golden

Super delicious spot! It’s a very small place but the food is to die for. I got the stuffed arepa with beef and it was by far one of my best meals since getting to CO. Definitely recommend to anyone, the owners are also super nice and welcoming.

Google told me it would be a good fit for me. The supreme pork arepa is to die for. The plantains weren't great. The dessert pupusa was good, but not what I expected. It had a lot of corn in it and a very strong corn flavor that doesn't quite fit with the coconut, pineapple, cajeta lechita flavors. Very much like a Mexican pastel de elote. The truly disappointing piece was that this place is teeny tiny. Callejón is the Spanish word for alley, and that's exactly how this spot was built; by putting a roof over an alley. While there is room for a few tables and chairs, they haven't opened their seating back up from Covid, so you have to sit outside on the sidewalk, in the wind. There's no restroom. Prices are reasonable.

Amazing food! The flavors are out of this world! Best homemade chips we’ve had. Added draw that it’s a family owned business. Still saying “wow” about my meal here!

The pork and green chile pupusas are delicious! This is a gem nestled in downtown Golden, and I am happy to have discovered it.

The wonderful aroma is what drew us to this no frills carry out restaurant . The wonderful tasting food is what will keep me coming back!
