Having lived many years in New Mexico, I had acquired a taste for red and green chile. It seems that it is rare to find the real thing outside of NM; restaurants usually substituting some other variety of pepper. To my delight, Jack-N-Grill's used real New Mexican red and green chile! I arrived mid afternoon and business was light. Chips and salsa were delivered seconds after I sat down. The menu offering was extensive and I settled on the chicken enchiladas with both red and green chile (referred to as "Christmas"!) The wait was brief. The food was the best New Mexican style fare I have found in Denver. The portions were so big that for the first time that I can remember I had to ask for a box to take home the leftovers. I am happy to have found this place and I will be back.
