A Trip To Nederland – Part 2 – Tres Gringos

Today, I am taking you back to our Nederland adventure, A Trip To Nederland – Part 1 – The Carousel of Happiness, but this time I am going to talk about our fabulous lunch at Tres Gringos.

Tres Gringos is an untraditional Mexican eatery, adding a little spice to Nederland, Colorado’s little mountain food scene. Everything is made fresh and from scratch everyday. It’s all made in small batches to ensure the freshness in every bite. They are “known for their delicious, non-traditional Mexican-style vittles and hand pressed tortillas, small batch salsas, [and] mule-kick margaritas”.

The walls are creatively decorated in the Dios de las Muertos designs of a local artist. The food is every bit as creative and fun as are the walls and the decorations.

Tres Gringos offers a full bar, or cantina, but it is known for their homemade traditional styled, mule-kick margaritas.

Of course I had to try one, and it was very tasty and refreshing indeed. I enjoyed it with our lunch. We split a couple of dishes, as we normally do, especially when trying some place new. We started out with the loaded patas bravas, or loaded Spanish potatoes. There were quite a few options on how you wanted to load them up, and we chose to load them with carnitas.

The different variety of tacos are the house specialty of Tres Gringos, so of course we sampled a couple of different kinds and split them in half too. We followed the recommendations of our fabulously fun server, Stephanie. We had one pesacdo taco and one chicken adobo taco. Both were mui deliciosio! They went very well with the patatas bravas. It was a perfectly delicious lunch and we ordered just the right amount; not to much and not to little.

Our server Stephanie was an absolute delight. She was very friendly and very helpful and had a rockin’ personality. She is a treasure.

When you are up in the Nederland neighborhood, it is definitely worth a visit to stop in try some of the fabulous, fresh made foods at Tres Gringos. You can’t miss them.
