The first day we arrived in Denver was Shawn's official birthday and we had to celebrate right: Mexican food, margaritas and Reggae.
We started out at Pinche Taqueria on York.
After about 15 minutes we found a seat at the bar counter in the center of the main area. We sat across from each other right where the plant is on the counter in this photo.
The menu was a la carte style so Shawn and I each got 2 or 3 tacos as well as an appetizer of chips with cheese dip. The chips are made in-restaurant and come in a little lunch bag! So cute.
After our thoroughly yummy dinner we ordered a shot sampler of Casa Noble tequila which tastes a lot like Earth/dirt and mint/rosemary. It was interesting and very enjoyable in the quanitity we tried.
After going back to the hotel we put Shawn's freshened mohawk up for his birthday night out on the town. We now have a tried-and-true method that takes about one-third to one-half the time it usually did before... I might blog a how-to!
We walked and took the RTD bus towards FunkyBuddha and proceeded upstairs to their patio rooftop where Bob Marley, the Wailers and many other Reggae and Rasta artists sang Shawn a quantum round of Happy Birthday.
I didn't feel well from drinking too much earlier in the day (harrrr...) and got admittedly cranky/bitchy near 1AM so we went back to our room and slept until almost noon the next day.
Looking back, it is safe to say we just scratched the very surface on Day 1; stick close by for days 2-4 coming soon!!!

It was CRAZY busy!!! And for good reasons: the small, visible kitchen was chucking out taco-truck style goodies and the wall-sized chalkboard in the rear boasted dozens of specialty tequilas you could order to taste. We ordered margaritas while we waited for a space to open up and they were great. Strong yet delicious and without a bitter sting.
