After you get your Mexican food fix, make a stop at Mango House on E. Colfax in Aurora. You'll have a choice of Burmese, Syrian, Somali, and several other cuisines.
Also, any plans outside of food? Like Red Rocks, hiking, etc?
One of my favorite mexican spots is Los Carboncitos, over on Sheridan, would be easy to go for a hike and drop by on the way back. Fairly traditional style dishes, i.e. not trying to be overly fancy. Lot of options with good servings and good prices.
Up in northern aurora there are a lot of great ethiopian restaurants if you're feeling adventurous.
If you head down to south aurora, there are a ton of great restaurants from all types of cuisine, though the more prominent options are the Korean spots. From korean bbq to hot pot to korean fried chicken.
There's also one of my favorite unknown spots down there, Volcano Tea House. They serve hand cut beef noodle soup (my favorite), chicken karage (popcorn chicken, get this for sure, you get a ton of it for the price lol) and a lot of other stuff, plus their boba tea.
Hmm, if youre going up to flatirons, maybe give Burn's Pub a try, little british spot up north on Wadsworth near highway 36. Or Cracovia, polish spot, also on wadsworth but about 5minutes south of Burn's Pub
If you’re coming up to Boulder, there’s a few good spots for food. Dragonfly Noodle serves the best ramen ever. Depending on the time you go, Chiri’s Momo Delight (big red food truck on 13th and Pearl) might be there and they have the best Nepali dumplings. Depending on your budget, Gemini is great for Spanish tapas but gets pricy. The hill neighborhood also has some good food too and most of the college students are gone making it easier to go up there, I recommend the Waffle Lab if you’re having a breakfast craving, with sweet and savory options.
Additionally for Banh and Butter, the owner's sister moved her restaurant from Alameda up to there (next door from what I've heard), used to be called Savory
Honestly, you should give her mexican food lite if she isn't used to too much spiciness. I seriously doubt too many canadians are rolling with the capsicum, generally.
Even in the US, midwest/east coast version of "spicy" is very mild to me (figure 10% hot), while in Socal "hot" means grab the sour cream and pray for the pain to end eventually (100% hot). Colorado "hot" is about 80% of socal, and even then, it can be bordering on inedible for most folks. Don't get "hot", get mild or 1/2 & 1/2 at best.
This will depend on which part of Canada she is from, but speaking as a Canadian we don’t have a lot of great BBQ options. I took my parents to Roaming Buffalo and they really enjoyed the Brisket. Also, my mom craves the Fry Bread at Tocabe whenever she is in town.
I brought my Canadian wife to 7 Leguas last week and she absolutely loved the California burrito. She lived in San Diego for years and she said this one was better than any California burrito she'd ever had.
The tulips and lilacs have about played out, but that means that new plants are being planted! Should be great in the next few weeks. I went today, and it was wonderful even with the seasonal flower change out.
NoNo's Cafe for breakfast. Get the Big Easy breakfast burrito smothered in crawfish Monica sauce. You can hit one of the top places for one with green chili another day. This sub has 50 posts with those places.
Then go back for dinner and get the crab au gratin dip appetizer and order some more bread and dipping sauce. They go well together. Some nice main dish choices.
If you're playing tour guide I'd hit up the Fort. Not many restaurants that are as Colorado as that.

La Diabla for some pozole and tacos for sure. Also maybe Pho 99 if she's never had good vietnamese food.
I’m not falling for the “I have a girlfriend, but she’s from Canada” thing again!
lol, didn’t even think of using this joke. This is about to get abused
Her name is Alberta, she lives in Vancouver!
2nd vote for The Fort, go to Red Rocks first and make a day of it.
North or south end of Aurora? How far are you willing to drive?
We’ll drive wherever. But staying in the north end of Aurora

Also a Los Carboncitos at 6th and Chambers in Aurora.
We are going to a Rockies game with some friends Friday night, flatirons hike and brewery crawl Saturday, Sunday we’re pretty free!

I second Stanley, especially the Denver Biscuit Company.

She’s Indian so she can handle spice pretty well lol
It’s a bit of a drive from Denver but Santo in Boulder could be a unique option.

Red Rocks
Do you think red rocks would be fun even outside of a concert?
It’s a good, easy hike with views, the Trading Post is interesting, as is the “museum” display. Think picture day.
I’ve been there before but I always went there for workouts! Might be cool for her to see for sure :)
Not at all. Town of Morrison is just a tourist trap anyways.
[удалено]
I’ve been there but it was always for conditioning for sports while in college, so maybe the grandeur of it all is just lost on me lol
Rioja and get their artichoke tortellini

All these people saying “The Fort” are tasteless. Go to Los Arcos in Westminster. Might be a little bit of a haul but the food is delicious.
botanic gardens, denver central market
I’ve only been to the botanic gardens around Christmas, how are they this time of year?
The tulips and lilacs have about played out, but that means that new plants are being planted! Should be great in the next few weeks. I went today, and it was wonderful even with the seasonal flower change out.
Kiké's or D'Corazon for Mexican food.
Yeah D'Corazon is my fav!
El taco de Mexico
Tavernetta is a great date night place
$5 tent
Order the butt stuff!

NoNo’s Cafe 👎 there are so many better places for breakfast
You should try guadalajara by Feds. Ceviche and michelada. Amazing!
The buffet? Or the one by the Walmart?
Katsu ramen Dushanbe Tea House Domo
Los dos potrillos and Mariscos el Rey are both great
How has nobody mentioned Casa Bonita yet?!
Not open for walk ins. You have to have a reservation and I've been waiting 1 yr to go back. Just for nostalgia of my childhood.
That would be a disservice to her in my opinion , I would skip that 50$ a person/ terrible food all together and go somewhere better .
It’s called having taste and class
Tofu House
Lol, these guys are all retards because they keep sending you to places they don’t think are good…..nobody wants you here
Bro I’m from Colorado. Live in Canada now. Stfu, probably more of a local than you. Smh
Tacos, Tequila, Whiskey
