I wish there was one in Summit County! We always have our work parties here and I am always amazed at how well we are accomodated! Thanks to James and his wife for the excellent food and fun! Review:Best Green Chili EVER!!! In the Southwest, a cook's green chili recipe can make a restaurant famous. For that reason alone, I can't understand why people from every sage-covered state aren't stampeding to Leadville! I ordered the Stuffed Sopapilla Especial, with green chili on the side. The platter that emerged from the kitchen was humongous, piled high with what must have been several pounds of food (for only $9!). I only wish I'd gotten two cups of chili...one to smother the sopapilla with, and the other to enjoy on its own. Chunks of tender pork loin mingled with home-roasted green chiles and onions in a delicious stock. It was amazing. The views of the mountains from the back deck are stunning -- especially at sunset. Leadville is a great (though under appreciated) town, and is Colorado's highest city at 10,200 feet. My only complaint is that another time I visited this restaurant, the service was abysmal. After being seated outdoors, we didn't see a server for 20 minutes...I had to ask the hostess twice to have someone bring us menus. At the end of the meal, it took 30 minutes for our check to arrive. Also, watch out if you're offered re-fills on your "complimentary" chips and salsa; the second round will cost you! Despite these problems, the food at The Grill is worth the visit, as well as the wait. Review:We LOVE the Grill It's a bit of a wait - to get a table 'cause everyone in town wants to eat here. Then they cook everything, not microwave it. It's hard to find such good home cooking, and food with such flavor. If you want GOOD Mexican food, go to Colorado, go to Leadville, go to the Grill. Ask anyone in town where it is, they'll tell ya you picked the right restaurant in Leadville! Review:Great Grill Have been enjoying the pleasures offered at the Grill for nearly 30 years now. The place has been updated and a deck with great mountain views has been added but one thing has remained the same all these years: the food. The Grill's Mexican recipes were developed a long time ago and there has been no reason to try to improve what is already perfect. The green chile, regular and vegetarian, is the absolute best this Mexican food lover has tasted anywhere in the world. And from simple burritos and enchiladas to the fabulous stuffed sopapillas, the selections are all routinely delicious. How the Martinez family has maintained the consistent high quality of the their food is a wonderment, but they have succeeded in doing so from the beginning. Service can vary, however, as the restaurant can become extremely busy in a moment's notice as I'm not the only one who thinks the place is fantastic. Small mountain communities, which Leadville is, have a limited ability to staff good restaurants and it is hard to find quality help sometimes. I do know that James and Linda make every effort possible to ensure that your dining experience is a pleasurable one. Two thumbs up! Review:Go there frequently. Our kids always want to eat there when they come home from college. Great food, friendly staff. Review:Can't Beat This Place This is the best food in Colorado. I love their Green Chile and they have incredible service. They know how to make the best margaritas I have ever tasted, and every one of their dishes is very plentiful and very good. The back patio at this place is absolutely the best view you can get at a restaurant. Some may give critcism to areas of the service but I think they do quite well for the small town they're in. I like it and it's the first place I'll always go to when I'm in Leadville. Review:Best Green Chile in the Universe!
