The Best Colorado Springs Restaurants
By Maria Rodriguez
Colorado Springs has recently transformed into a foodie's paradise, offering fresh, inventive dining spots that capture the spirit of this mountain town. Here are five places where you can dig into something special—whether it's locally sourced dishes or international flavors, these are the best bites in the city.
1. Dos Dos
At Dos Dos, Mexican food is both familiar and surprising, with every dish rooted in fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Tacos come stuffed with thoughtfully chosen fillings, from crispy pork to roasted vegetables, while tequila cocktails elevate the experience beyond the ordinary. Committed to local and seasonal produce, the menu shifts with the calendar, so there's always something new.
2. Four by Brother Luck
Four by Brother Luck takes fine dining to another level with a menu that traces celebrity chef Brother Luck’s culinary journey through four key regions: the American Southwest, Asia, France, and the South. Each course is a reflection of this personal narrative, with dishes like dry-aged duck breast and blue cornbread, artfully plated and paired with cocktails that feel just as thoughtful. This is where storytelling meets the plate.
3. Zocalo
This Mexican-fusion gem is more than just a restaurant—it’s a full sensory experience. You’ll order at a VW bus repurposed into a bar, and possibly grab a seat on one of the swings suspended from the ceiling. Zocalo’s menu is a fusion of traditional Mexican street food with modern twists, served up with cocktails that practically demand you relax and settle in.
4. Sushi Row
For sushi lovers, Sushi Row is an unexpected delight in a city surrounded by mountains, not oceans. What it lacks in coastal proximity, it more than makes up for in quality. Sit by the bar for the freshest cuts of sashimi, or take it easy by the outdoor fire pit with a plate of karaage chicken and a local brew.
5. Spring Rollin’
At Spring Rollin’, the humble spring roll gets its moment in the spotlight, and it doesn’t disappoint. Diners can customize their pho or roll, choosing from a variety of broths, noodles, and proteins, all served in a laid-back, casual setting. It's a little bit of warmth and comfort after a day in the Colorado outdoors. Spring Rollin’ website.
