Centro: A Boulder Gem and Delicious Destination

Centro Boulder

Where can you go for brunch, lunch, dinner and drinks and feel completely at the heart of the downtown Boulder scene? Where is it not too stuffy, but buttoned up enough to avoid the riff raff of dive bars with bad food? My vote is Centro.

Centro is the quintessential night-out in Boulder jump-off. They’re truly hit the sweet spot in bringing tasty latin food together with memorable cocktails. They’re also extremely popular, so if you want a seat on the patio, inside or anywhere, for that matter, get there early. No, not 5:30PM early. More like, make up an excuse to your boss on why you need to leave work at 4:30PM kind of early.

It’s always a gamble if you and your friends are going to get a seat at Centro, especially for happy hour. This is truly a testament to how good they are and how consistent they are with providing an enjoyable ambiance. The happy hour menu is affordable and easy to order from, with the shrimp tacos being a favorite.

The beer and wine specials are standard for Boulder, but what you absolutely must try are Centro’s Margaritas. All are made with mezcal or 100% agave tequila and come in varieties that range from sweet to savory to spicy as hell. The “Hot Rosser” comes highly recommended which is made with Zapopan tequila, lemon juice, orange juice, strawberry puree and spicy fresno chiles.

Sometimes getting a seat at Boulder’s busiest restaurants is a pain, but more often than not, it’s a cherished accomplishment when you manage to get seated at Centro. The food rarely disappoints and you’re not rushed out once you do sit down and start imbibing. Use good sense and strategy in getting to Centro early and you won’t be disappointed.
