For a glowing endorsement of the New Mexican-style cuisine at Jack-n-Grill, look no further than the diversity of the crowds. Not only does the small, unassuming space on a spotty stretch of Federal pack in hungry hoards for both lunch and dinner, but the clientele is a motley mix of nationalities, both Hispanic and non-Hispanic. That speaks to the high quality of the low-priced cuisine, a delicious combination of the hip and the authentic. Open since 2000 next to Mickey Manor, Jack-n-Grill has received several local dining awards each year for its slew of Mexican staples, its chile bowls (choose between green chile with pork and the vegetarian red) and its Mexican-designed, gringo-approved burgers. Meals are available for dine-in and takeout, although the popularity and intimate size of the place (just nine tables within, plus the patio in front) may necessitate the latter. The decor inside is charming and colorful, and painted in the bright, earthy tones often associated with south-of-the-border architecture.

Pretty good green chili. The burrito's are well sized in portion. You shouln't go away hungry at this place.

Blocked Handicapped Spaces

By robvbrowning on 03/01/2007

Owner/Manager parks, blocks both handicapped spaces. Company doesn't respond to a letter. We were at Jack-n-Grill's second location (on E. 40th), and saw some truly obnoxious behavior by an owner or manager. We saw a guy in a big white Yukon zip right up between the two empty handicapped parking spaces, and park directly on the striped area between them. It seemed that this guy was actually somebody in charge of the restaurant, either an owner or an off-duty manager, as he spent about 30 minutes chatting with the staff, going behind the bar, etc. For some reason, he left for a few minutes, came back with a couple of passengers, and parked exactly as before. Total time blocking the handicapped spaces: probably 30 minutes. The striped area is used for unloading wheelchairs, etc. Parking like that, between the two marked handicapped spaces, effectively prevented their use. Furthermore, I didn't notice, but no doubt the Yukon was also blocking the ramp area in the sidewalk. So even if someone in a wheelchair managed to park and unload somewhere else, they would have had to find another ramp, just to get to the door. We were disgusted by this behavior of a manager/owner who was too lazy to park 5, 10, 20 spaces away, and who didn't care about any handicapped patrons who might show up. robvbrowning at yahoo dot com

Now this is real mexican food

By bifbarlo on 02/15/2007

The best green chilies in the world are acknowledged to be from Hatch, NM. I went to school in Las Cruces, NM, a mere 50 miles from Hatch and ate Mexican food utilizing Hatch Green Chilies at least four times a week for five years . Jack and Grill is the best in Denver and some of the best I have ever had. Please try the Green enchiladas with an egg. It is fabulous. My one complaint is the portions are too large.
