There were lots of familiar names popping up in new places this week, as well as new names in old spaces. Chuy’s, a Tex-Mex concept out of Austin, Texas, continues its invasion of metro Denver, adding a third outpost, this time by the Denver Tech Center. Organic ice cream maker Em’s, up to now only available on the 16th Street Mall and at events around town, found a permanent home in Park Hill. And Colorado Plus, already known for its brewery and taproom on West 38th Avenue, turned to apples for its new project, Colorado Plus Cidery and Pub, in Golden.
Where Paxia once sold upscale Mexican cuisine in Sunnyside (and where Lot 14 Bistro briefly tried to make a go of it), Necio Latin Eatery is now open Wednesday through Sunday, serving up its own brand of Mexican cooking. And just when we thought we’d said goodbye to Roostercat Coffee House in the Golden Triangle, a former customer bought the place and reopened it this week.
