Have you tried La Casa de Manuel? It's one of Denver's oldest Mexican restaurants, and now the property is for sale.
La Casa de Manuel may finally close for good
. Its home at 3158 Larimer Street, a prime corner lot, is for sale, and at 84, Manuel Silva isn't ready for another move. Silva came to Denver in the ’50s with his father, mother and eight siblings; the family had $500 in life savings and dreams of opening a restaurant. They leased space at 2010 Larimer Street; by the ’70s, Silva had taken over the spot and changed the name of the restaurant to La Casa de Manuel.
For two decades, he watched as the neighborhood changed with the establishment of the Lower Downtown Historic District in 1988 and the opening of Coors Field in 1995. And in late 1998, he got a letter announcing that his lease was being terminated. He found a new space eleven blocks away, in another neighborhood that has changed a lot over the last two decades with the establishment of the RiNo Art District and developers discovering the old warehouse neighborhood.
And while La Casa de Manuel is still serving , the property is now listed for sale...for a whopping $25,000,000.I hope they don’t close; my family and I have been going there for years! I remember being really little and the old location. The greed is way out of hand, and it has changed our neighborhoods and city — and not for the good, either!A lot of these businesses sustained generations of families.
Wrong! I love their"wet" burritos (although I'll never understand why they don't just call them"smothered." I'll miss La Casa de Manuel, and my favorite green chile.Everyone can argue whether or not the food was good or not. This is about how much the owners are asking and what they will get. In my opinion, I hope they get everything they are asking. All of these big corporations who have invaded our town need to pay big money for taking away who our city is/was.
