-- Steak (high-end): The Chophouse downtown. Wow, awesome. Also if you love Filet Mignon, their large size is seriously the size of your foot, NOT kidding. I couldn't finish it, after the great apps, incl. free jalapeno cornbread app w/ whipped honeybutter. Another app I love there is the Seasonal Artisinal Platter. Lots of fancy cheeses, sausage, nuts, olives, etc. Great for a group to try bunch of tasty different things. A little pricey though.

-- Mexican: Mexico City downtown, try the Fried Tacos, never seen them anywhere else. Santiago's breakfast burritos (various locations). Blue Bonnet (patio too), Broadway, just south of downtown. Benny's, near 8th & Grant, awesome chili rellenos (huge) w/ VERY hot green chili.

+1 For Chophouse, I love that place... But, I will raise you one- Kittredge has perhaps the best bang for your buck steakhouse, Black Hat Cattle Co. Their steaks are comparable to Chophouse and Elway's, but the prices aren't nearly as high.
As far as Mexican, my absolute, hands down favorite is Tafolino's Mexican Restaurant on Youngsfield and 20th (over near Applejack's Liquor in Lakewood- 32nd & Youngsfield exit, I-70). Seriously, this is food to write home about!

I'll add- Wings: Wing Wagon, Conifer, CO! Best hot wings you'll ever have (and the hottest)... Try the Suicide line, goes up to 20. For reference, BWW "Blazin'" are about Suicide 16 or so... The owner is awesome too, for a Patriots fan.

Be EXTREMELY careful when using a credit card to pay at Tafolinos. On 2 seperate occasions the wait staff purchased airline tickets to Mexico on customer's credit cards. Happened to 1 family member and one good friend. Pay with cash.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
