Description

After 35 years in the same location, Nabor and Norma Nuñez still make some of the tastiest Mexican home cooking in town. The green chile, spicy and addictive, contains all fresh ingredients; beef tacos come loaded with lean, shredded beef. And it's all even better washed down with one of the bar's 100-plus tequilas.

    La Cueva remains a culinary oasis on Colfax

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, August 20, 2009

    Like La Loma, La Cueva has some history behind it. Both places opened in the mid-'70s, both places quickly became destinations for Denver's Mexican food fans. Over the years, both restaurants have prospered, but unlike La Loma's owners, the Nuñez... More »

  • 2001 | Best Tequila Bar

    Man does not live by tortilla alone. For example, there's also tequila. Tequila that's twenty years old, tequila that's a hundred years old, tequila that comes in that familiar Jose Cuervo bottle, tequila that comes in containers worthy of museum status. The tequila just keeps coming to La Cueva, a 27-year-old restaurant on East Colfax that welcomed in the millennium by adding a trendy tequila-and-margarita bar to its already substantial lineup of authentic Mexican fare. The dishes come from... More »
