Lucile's homemakes everything...the ketchup, fruit jams, softball sized biscuits and lots more. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is super cozy. Breakfast and lunch fare is offered with a twist of New Orleans. Make sure to try the beignets, a New Orleans donut with powdered sugar.

My kids took me to he Dushanbe for Mother's day and it was the best day ever!! I have the worst (or the best, depending on your perspective) sweet tooth and this place did not disappoint! The pastries were so yummy and the presentation was marvelous! Served on a three-tiered plate, they were almost too pretty to eat. Almost, but not quite! The variety was large and everything was delicious. The tea was also served piping hot by conscientious staff and the cloth tablecloths and napkins are an elegant touch. The place is generally quite busy and you can see why!

OK, so there's alot of differing opinions about the Rio. The truth- it is one of the best places in Boulder. Nowhere else can u go for the atmosphere, overall food quality and delicious margarita. As a long time regular I'm going to lay out a set of rules to keep in mind if u have never been there and respond to the 'naysayers,' which is bound to happen when u serve as many people as the Rio does.
1- the price. u can be in and out with a margarita and entree for under 20$. Try that anywhere else in Boulder that isn't a dive inside like Juanita's. 2- to the one who complained about a chicken bone in her enchilada. This isn't taco bell, they use real chickens, which have bones. Did u know that?
3- The trick to the Rio is keeping things simple. Its high volume and cheap, so u cant expect "Frasca-like" service. Also the waitstaff is mostly college kids looking to pay their bills and have a good time while they work. I have met so many people that come every week, alot of families, because they know the faces and love the prices. Anywhere else in town you will pay 8$ and up for a margarita that has less tequila.
Did you know the Rio's has 3 shots of alcohol? Hence the 3 limit. 4- The rooftop patio is one of the best on earth. Problem is there is no kitchen or bar on the roof so things take longer, plus they have a whole downstairs with hundreds of hungry, thirsty people. How to avoid that? Grab a drink downstairs and carry it up, or order extra when the waiter "finally" arrives. Be patient, u are lucky to be served in such a beautiful place! 5- Cinco de Mayo at the Rio trumps any other Cinco party.
Menu tips- Bobby Flay isn't cooking, got it?
-Guacamole is amazing. Simple, delicious, no unnecessary ingredients.
-Burrito de Carne smothered in Green/spicy or ranchero sauce. So good, especially w/ a margarita!
-Cheese queso appetizer
-Enchiladas,Tostadas,Chicken Salads,Fajitas
-Agave Martini on the rocks= Top shelf margarita for 8-9$!
Pros: Awesome food, margaritas and service. Rooftop patio, "Garage" seats.
Cons: Can get a busy on weekends, but worth the wait!

Stumbled upon Japango looking for sushi happy hour while visiting Boulder. Had heard of other supposedly excellent sushi eateries in town, but this one was convenient and we were hungry. The Boulder roll was amazing...I have been craving it since. All the sushi was extremely fresh and creative. Our waitress was helpful and very friendly. We'll definitely be back on next, hopefully soon, visit!
Pros: Outdoor seating, great happy hour

This is our "go to" restaurant. We drive from Broomfield for their fantastic pizza. Friday night special is Seafood Ernesto, a must if you love seafood pasta. You can choose either a red or white sauce. The weekends, you can expect a wait so you know it is good. Jay has opened a few other locations, but the service and food still remain great at this location.
Pros: Pizza and good service
Cons: Long wait on weekends

The first experience I had eating creole food was at Lucile's. It was a delicious introduction to eating New Orleans style dishes. It definitely was not my only meal there. Lucile's is located in a refurbished Victorian house. It is a family establishment with an unique atmosphere.

This is a "special night out" restaurant. The prices are moderate to expensive, but the food is excellent! Run by the same chef as the outstanding Med, it is the higher priced, more elegant version.
