There is no shortage of great restaurants in Colorado, but here are a couple you’ve got to put on your list to try if you haven’t yet, as they just received some pretty high praise!

New York Times just dropped its annual list of the 50 Best Restaurants in the U.S., and two of them are in Colorado.

On the list is Denver’s Mezcaleria Alma, a modern Mexican restaurant at 2550 15th St., is the sister restaurant of Alma Fonda Fina, Johnny Curiel’s restaurant that earned a Michelin Star last year.

The other Colorado spot on the list is Bin 707, a New American restaurant in Grand Junction. Chef Josh Nierenberg was nominated for Outstanding Chef at the annual James Beard Awards, his fourth nomination.
