E. COLFAX— Denver on a Spit visited newly opened Las Tortas at 1818 E. Colfax: "Where does Las Tortas stand among the torta greats of Denver? It is early still, but I was most definitely impressed with what I had, and unless something changes (I'll let you know if it does), it will be on the top of my torta rotation from here on out. Do yourself a favor and get there." [DOAS]
