Featured Restaurant - El Rancho
El Rancho, built
in 1948, located 18 miles west of Denver is a tradition in Colorado
Mountain Dining.
I shall never forget the first time I saw El Rancho in January of 1970, being fresh from Texas, I thought it was the most beautiful, typically mountain place I had ever seen, and I still love it. The views are unsurpassed. El Rancho has been a beacon to hungry travelers for nearly 60 years now. There have been many changes to the area and additions to the restaurant. However the charm and pure "Old Colorado" atmosphere remains. New business owners Bill Troyanos and Donna Piro have successfully maintained the historic ambiance.
One of the many unique features is the complete Southwest gift shop next to the front entrance. A tavern with big screen TV’s and the Colorado Deck, for outdoor dining add to the charm. Banquet Facilities on the garden level offer the perfect place for meetings, weddings or other special occasions for up to 250 guests.
The menu at El
Rancho is extensive. You may enjoy a choice of beef, seafood, buffalo,
chicken, duck, pork or mexican entries. The Sunday Brunch is one
of my favorites. A Breakfast Buffet is served from 9:-11:am, then
a full
Brunch Buffet is well prepared and beautifully presented from 11:am - 2:pm.
The cinnamon rolls that have kept some regulars coming back for decades are still there and the tavern menu offers pub fare.
For a unique Colorado Experience, El Rancho is a must visit. Lunch is served Mon-Fri from 11:am - 3:pm, Sat. from 10:30am - 3:30pm. Dinner, Mon.- Thu & Sun 5:-9:00pm, Fri. & Sat. 5:pm - 10:pm. The Tavern is open Mon.-Sat. 11:am -11:pm, Sun. 9:am - 11:pm. Enjoy!!
