Lupita's. Chicago. Part #1.

Lupita's in Denver on Colfax. This is only the second time we've been there but there are many, many more to come. I didn't get photos the first time because it was so good. Last time, tamales. Incredible. This time, Tacos al Carbon.

Grilled flank steak. Pico de Gallo. Soft corn tortillas. Avocado (which I pushed aside. Perfect. Tortillas sogged when I poured on the Pico and salsa, but still perfect.

A special note about the beans. Refried pinto beans. Consistency is optimal.

Unlike the canned beaners at Ortega's, these are the way it should be. Smooth. A few bean chunks and some bean skin. Delicious. Yeah, yeah, perfect refried beans look exactly like what you are thinking the photo looks like.

Lupita's. Get thee there.
