Julia Blackbird’s New Mexican Cafe

I, Zeb the Duck, love to go out for lunch.  I went to Julia Blackbird’s in Denver.

We met two of mom’s friends and my friend, Channel.  Remember Chanel, the cute little bear.  I met her in Cuba last winter.  She ate at the restaurant with us.

Julia Blackbird’s is set back from the street.  This patio is so nice.  Channel and I, Zeb the Duck, are at a table on the right.

There is a small bar out here also.  Perfect for a summer evening.   If you are finished eating and wish to relax with a margarita, this looks like the spot.

We entered the restaurant and chose a table near another fireplace.

It was a warm day so there were no fires burning, as we admired the decorations.   Julia told us about trips to New Mexico purchasing the decorations.  Yes, the Julia that owns this café.  I like it when we talk to the owners because that indicates they really care about customers. Julia has owned and managed Julia Blackbird’s New Mexican Café for 15 years.

The bar looks very cheerful,

but Channel and I did not order a margarita.  Near the entrance to the café, we watched this lady cook our food.

Our food was freshly cooked right here as we watched

Very fresh!   Here is our food.  It looks great.   Two ladies ordered Tres Hermanas, which were 3 blue corn enchiladas:  One chicken with green chili, 1 beef with red chili, one cheese with chili Caribe with beans, posole and a warm tortilla.  One lady ordered tacos that were 2 flash fried blue corn tortillas with beef and topped with lettuce, pico and queso.

Looks and tastes fabulous

Two ladies drank peach flavored ice tea and one had a diet coke.

We liked Julia and her Julia Blackbird’s New Mexican Café.  We think you will enjoy your meal there also.  The café is located at 3434 W 32nd Avenue in Denver, Colorado.
