Family owned restraunts in/near Denver

Having lived in HR for a long time and would also prefer to support smaller local business here is where we go.

Intersection of county line and holly
farro-italian
tapas de jeres-spanish
big bills-pizza
wild ginger-thai
there is also a decent Mexican place next to the Thai place, can't remember the name.

Los Dos Patrillos, our #1 go-to place. On Saturday and Sunday their fajitas carnitas (pulled pork) are great. Also a fan of Big Bill's. The gluten free spaghetti is heinous (not their fault, GF pasta just sux) so I get their GF pizza.

I can eat at non-GF places, there is almost always something I can eat. Italian is pretty tough though and Chinese is dicey unless I know the menu well. Even burger joints are okay if I can get it without a bun.

We went to the Lone Tree Cabela's Saturday and stopped at Chili's. $50 to a chain store (they don't even bother to call them restraunts).

If you like Italian you gotta check out Abrusci's in Wheatridge. 3244 Youngfield St, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 My wife needs to be gluten free and they do gluten free pasta (which is really good) and they also do gluten free french bread (DELICIOUS). We drive all the way from SE Aurora in order for my wife to have delicious gluten free pasta and bread.
