Description

It's best not to stand between us and this restaurant when we're on our way there for steak fajitas, as we're likely to knock you down. We can't wait to get to this giant meal, served with rice, beans, guacamole, and Pico de Gallo. Jammed with spicy peppers, onion, and mushroom, these grilled lovelies can't be beat. We love how Al's serves its kicky salsa in tumblers, and we like to pour it over all the yummy entrees here: delicious chicken flautas, Tacos Morongo, even the tasty breakfast burrito when we're at Al's early in the day. We wish we could be there all day!

This place has some of the best salsa - you've gotta watch out because you could seriously ruin your appetite for dinner just with the chips and salsa beforehand. Before I decided to be a vegetarian, I would order the Pollo Con Queso burrito - it's covered in a rich cheese sauce that cannot be healthy but is beyond delicious. I'm hoping to make it back here soon to try their veg-friendly Mushroom Enchiladas Blancas.

Most restaurants start with a dream or a corporate scheme. Ajo Al's started with a horrific car accident. Karen Dains recounts the bare facts of the accident with detachment: Colorado Springs, 1980. Another driver braking too suddenly; her... More »

2007 | BEST CHICKEN SOUP

Despite County Attorney Andrew Thomas' failed attempt to ruin this terrific family restaurant with his P.R.-driven "Dirty Dining" campaign (the case was tossed out of court earlier this year), Ajo Al's remains a trusted standby for thousands of spice-happy Valley eaters. We like the food just fine, but it's the chicken soup that brings us back for more, and then more. It's got a bite to it, and a rather thick broth imbued with black pepper and probably more than a pinch of chili powder. The... More »
