Description

Temporarily closed: Pueblan food is rare in Denver, which is strange, since this city boasts a fair number of Mexican immigrants who've come up from the nearly legendary hotbed of line cooks and chefs in Southern Mexico. Fortunately, now we have Chili Verde, which offers this engaging and multicultural cuisine in all its weirdly Latino-French splendor, and in an environment that's much more upscale bistro than a neighborhood taqueria. Brothers Eder and Hanzel Yanez-Mota opened their restaurant with the idea of easing people into the notion of Mexican food without refritos, without globs of bright-yellow cheese product and massive burritos, and they've been winning converts to the concept that the best Mexican food can include a beautiful French crepe filled with Poblano rajas and topped with a silky cream sauce.

  • 2010 | Best Crepes

    When Chili Verde opened last summer with a skeleton staff, sporadic hours and no liquor license, owners and brothers Eder and Hanzel Yañez-Mota seduced the city with their crazy-good Pueblan food, a showcase of complexly spiced moles, remarkably good ceviche and pudgy rellenos uniquely packaged with peaches, plantains and nuts. And then they pulled out all the stops with a delicious plate of delicate crepes, rolled with shredded chicken and draped with a faintly spicy cream sauce... More »
