Description

North Denver is full of Mexican restaurants, and El Padrino is one of the most perennially popular. That's because while the menu offers all of the requisite Mexican dishes, there's more to this kitchen than tacos, rellenos and huevos rancheros (although classic combinations are available for the less adventurous). Soups such as posole and menudo are staples, as is a seafood stew that brims with octopus, squid and oysters. And traditional goat stew is served on special occasions.
