A Denver Taco Spot Is Earning Michelin Buzz For This Meaty Sandwich - Tasting Table
"This sandwich is excellent. The exterior lightly crispy, with the distinct toasty flavor of the chile, and the carnitas inside are tender, juicy and flavorful, enhanced by savory brown bits. It's flavorful, displays good technique and uses quality ingredients."
"Opened in June 2021 by chef Jose Avila, La Diabla is Denver's first eatery devoted to pozole, a traditional Mexican soup made with corn and meat, such as chicken or pork, in a spiced broth. Aiming to celebrate and share his culture with the people of Denver by offering historic dishes and drinks, Chef Avila - who grew up in Mexico City - offers tons of tacos on his menu."
"A typical pambazo is a sandwich dipped in salsa and filled with chorizo and potatoes. At La Diabla, you can turn any of the venue's trademark tacos into one of these delicious meals for $18. However, it is the joint's carnitas offering that has generated the most buzz."
