The Juniper Pig

This is a must-have at the Stanley! The alpastor hummus is genius, la mexicana is delicious... Barbacoa tacos are so refined and beautiful. This is one of the best Latin fusion places in Colorado. We tried out the chorizo nachos and they’re an absolute knock out. You can tell this food has thought and culture behind it it’s balanced and underrated!

I love their mission and philosophy of fusing Mediterranean and Latin American and they were incredibly friendly. Delicious food, but way too long of a wait. We visited on a Monday during lunch time and were warned of a 15 minute wait. However, we waited 30-45 minutes for our food (salads...) to be prepared. The salads were good but not worth the long wait.

For thanksgiving this year, I let Elita’s do the work. We got a brined turkey, with butter under the skin, and herbs and citrus in the cavity. Oh my gosh!! Some of you reading will think I am exaggerating, but it was THE BEST turkey I have ever eaten-made by me or anyone else. Truly magnificent! Super moist, perfectly flavored. So so good. All I had to do was put it in the oven. I hope this establishment is in business for years to come. I will only buy a turkey from them-forever more!!

I got three tacos. I did not tip for the cost of the food to go which is unusual for me but food is getting so expensive and it was to go, so what am I tipping for- I already paid for the food- what’s the service???. I got a strange look from the girl at the cash register (11/8/21 around 3pm). Later I got horrible food poisoning. The only other thing I had to eat was a bagel so I’m confident it was from the tacos. I thought they were really fine, average tacos when I was eating them. I’ve had much much better and was a little disappointed since the shop looked cool. Was much more disappointed when I got violently ill.
