North County

Inspired by the Mexamerican fare typical of Baja, California, this Denver spot features a menu heavy on fish tacos and quesadillas. Perhaps its most loved dish, though, is its carne asada fries, a heap of crispy potatoes served nacho-style, with melty shredded cheeses, creamy Mexican crema, guacamole, salsa and tender slices of marinated grilled steak.
