11 Fresh Mushrooms 3 Steak 7 Spicy Chicken 12 Spinach & Cheese
Molly W.

Super tasty empanadas within the edgewater public market! In my limited experience, these seemed on the smaller side, so I ended up ordering 4 and it was the perfect amount to feel satisfied. I went on a busy Sunday afternoon & the workers were friendly and had my order up within 10 minutes. Unfortunately they were out of two of the empanada options by this time, a drink option, as well as the avocado sauce I really wanted to try! I ended up ordering the steak, spicy chicken, spinach & cheese, and the mushroom. I would get them all again! They were very hot on the inside so I ripped them all open a bit too cool. Sometimes chicken empanadas can be dry, but this one was great. The mushroom one was the messiest because there was a lot of moisture/water within the pastry. The chimmichurri (spelling?) sauce was delicious and I wish they gave me more! Maybe 1 sauce per 2 empanadas???

Yum!

First time to Edgewater Public Market and Lazo caught our eyes as we made our round. It was a rainy late afternoon, so it wasn't as busy which we liked. The exposed ceiling and open concept is always nice ambiance, but sometimes it can get quite noisy, but it was a perfect day. Minimal noise and plenty of seats. Great service from the host, she was packing some empanadas while we waited for her. My boyfriend and I both got a combo. I had two empanadas - Spicy Steak and Chorizo with chimichurri sauce, and a Pellegrino, while he had Steak Quesadilla, ham & cheese, and ground beef with avo sauce and soda. Spicy steak - wasn't my favorite. I didn't taste the spiciness and it was quite liquidy. The chimichurri sauce did not go well with it. The sauce tasted more like Italian herb in oil rather than parsley & cilantro. Chorizo - loved it! I didn't taste the chorizo, but the melting cheddar did it. I definitely did not put the sauce on it lol Ground beef - it was decent per the boyfriend Steak Quesadilla - wasn't a big fan of it. It was very watery and didn't taste like a quesadilla Ham & Cheese - this was his favorite. Can't go wrong with ham & cheese anything! I think at this point, anything with cheese is good. I personally can't say too much about the steak quesadilla, but all in perspective. Would come back for the Chorizo empanadas though.

Spicy ground beef empanadas!

Everything about the Edgewater Public Market rocks, and Lazo Empanadas is no exception. I love the setting, and the entire venue is all minority-owned businesses. Kind, quick service combined with a variety of empanadas choices in a well-laid out menu makes for a positive experience. I enjoyed their Spicy Ground Beef (#2 on the menu) and Chicken Caprese (#8) along with the green avocado medium spicy homemade sauce!

I tried the spinach, mushroom, and cheese and a chorizo, egg , and cheese with a side of chimichurri for dipping. Both were very tasty, especially the pastry. I got a little tired of all of the cheese, but that was probably because I ate a few bites of my sons macaroni and cheese while I was waiting on my empanadas. I'd definitely go back though- yum!

Lazos is one of my go to spots for empanadas especially if I want something that's not corn based shell. It's pretty pricey for the size of the empanada but it's worth it in my book. The beef and spicy versions are very flavorful and goes well with the sauce they have. It's the right amount of saltiness and slight sweetness. The empanada shell is very flaky and boy it's temperature hot when it's ready! The staff is always amazing, and the Edgewater location never fails us. It's the perfect snack after our softball games at Citizens Park!

Can't go wrong with a light dinner! This place is quick when it's right before dinner rush. Very friendly staff and there is a menu with each ingredient listed for every item on the menu.

5 Steak Quesadilla
Mike P.

Really good empanadas! The dough is very light, fluffy and flakey on the outside. I found Maria empanada to have dry dough and it's not as fluffy as this place. The dough here is almost like pastry dough which I prefer. It's perfect to allow the steak quesadilla filling to shine. The chimichurri sauce was a nice compliment as well! A bit on the pricey end at $4.25 an empanada but they do a great job here! Not pictured was the fresh mushroom which was very good! The spinach cheese was good. If you're in the area, definitely come by!

8. Chicken Caprese
Laura M.

I will start this review by saying I am not an empanada fan. I have always found the dough to be super heavy/thick, and the filling so heavy - that I have never enjoyed eating them. Lazo may have converted me...or maybe I have just experienced poor empanadas (or both)... I had the chicken caprese empanada and it was flavorful, oozing with cheese, and the dough was very light and tasty. The person behind the counter was very helpful and made the recommendation for the chicken caprese. I am excited to come back and try more empanadas...and also really love this location at Edgewater market!

2. Spicy Ground Beef 9. Chorizo, Egg & Cheese 4. Spicy Steak
Sammy C.

I'm giving Lazo 4/5 stars for taste and 3/5 for price. Each empanada was around $4-5 but was slightly bigger than a dumpling IMO. However, these empanadas came out piping hot and were extremely flavorful. The pastry was crispy on the outside and chewy but flaky to the point I could peel back the layers! I chose the spicy ground beef, spicy steak, and egg & chorizo. I was a fan of all three, and the spicy ones definitely had a kick! The Edgewater Public Market is enforcing COVID guidelines including wearing a mask and social distancing. With plenty of patio space, your best bet is to bundle up and eat outside or take your food to-go.

I guess I'm not really a fan of baked empanadas. I didn't feel like they were cooked evenly and were burnt at the edges. Very meh.

My son loved his Panito Chocolate, a brownie-like chocolate muffin made with espresso and beet purée. The service was friendly, and the cafe was cozy with plenty of seating, although it gets busy, and deservedly so! We'll definitely be back.

I'm not much of a flavored coffee person, but their menu actually had me wanting one! (I got a black coffee that I savored throughout the day). Their breakfast burrito (rec getting it with guacamole and hot sauce) is seasoned well, tasty potatoes and beans, doin the crunch panini press heat up I'm never mad at. The wait staff is friendly, efficient, and hard at work keeping the environment flowing. The inside is worker friendly, as well as plenty of tables to meet up with friends. If you want a lil quieter setting, they have a dog friendly patio. Comments around price, you're paying for quality (sourced) ingredients. Support the business you're consuming. If you're looking for a cheap bfast burrito and gas station coffee...there's a 711 nearby. All that PLuS!!! They're the first women and immigrant-owned, Guatemalan-inspired, bilingual café in Denver. I mean...c'mon? I'll be back to try Chocolatado or a Churratzo!

It was quite the journey to get to Denver from the Cotswolds in England and the opening of 2914 Coffee. This is one of the most inviting coffee shops in Denver with plenty of seating of all types (upholstered, tables and chairs, a large table for a group, inside and outside dining. They roast their own coffee beans, and the coffee is very good! The breakfast sandwich is so delicious that it is worth traveling to indulge yourself. Their seasoning of the eggs in the sandwich is perfection, and the bacon, sausage, spinach, melted cheese, and the crisp English muffin are all cooked perfectly to complement the egg. Pat and I had a nice conversation with Steph, who was extremely friendly and warm. The staff was kind, helpful, and efficient. There are street parking spaces and a parking lot behind the shop. The shop's noise level is low to moderate.

To start, they have Polaroid's of local doggos on their community board. The vibe is cozy and fun with hanging local art for sale, happy plants soaking up sun and cute wall decor painted near the chalk menu. Whoever picked the music knows what's up. Good mix. Couches (where I posted up with a good book) and big comfy chairs are scattered amidst smaller tables for friends to catch up, bar tables for workers to plug in, and even a long table with benches for larger groups or individual strangers to co-work in a pleasant setting. They also have tables and chairs outside to enjoy the sunshine. I didn't get any food (this time!) but their sandwich menu looks ace, as do the pastries. I gravitate towards seasonal lattes and opted for their Irish creme latte and um, yum! Not too sweet and a nice mix of flavors going on. The other seasonals looked good, too. Baristas were kind and know their stuff. So... Yeah. Come here. You won't regret it. I'll absolutely be back!

The coffee I ordered, latte was good and worth going back for I love the fact that it was in this quaint little house with all these cool knickknacks and photos so the atmosphere was very Denver, very downtown even though it's not, and I felt like it was cozy. The service was OK unfortunately we got there towards the end. I think we had about 30 minutes and we told them when we came in. We just wanted coffee and to use the restroom which to be fair wasn't really that impressive to them. We were definitely not intending to stay long. We really just needed to use the facilities and you have to buy something in order to use them. My only thing is is I didn't need to be reminded every five minutes we sat by the door and left 10 minutes before it closed. But I guess also to be fair. Maybe other people don't do that. But it's worth giving it a shot! Latte was great.
