I was lucky enough to recently try the new menu at LaSandia Restaurant. The kid’s menu was great! Most of the time when we order from the kid’s menu – not only are their choices limited (as if kids have no taste except for chicken nuggets and mac and cheese) but the kid’s menu usually only offers a tiny portion. But at LaSandia it was diverse and hearty! My daughter tried the tacos. She was pleasantly surprised as well at the quantity and quality of the food. We chose to visit on a Tuesday – it was Taco Tuesday. It was busy but delicious. So maybe we will see you there next Tuesday?

Goldstar comes to Denver
Goldstar is a half-price ticket outlet with great tickets. I have seen tickets to theatrical shows from Cirque Du’Soliel Amaluna to smaller venues like the Fox Theater to sporting events like the Colorado Rapids. What I love about this site is you still are in full control of what day/time you go – and tickets run anywhere from Comp (FREE) passes to just over 1/2 price. They are all GREAT deals to the shows we really want to go to! Membership is FREE – you just have to add your email address.
