Locals constantly debate where to find the city's best "slopper"—an open-faced burger smothered in cheese, red or green chile, and onions—but there is no question you will find an authentic Pueblo experience at this dive bar where the dish was first served. Bikers and families converge on the large outdoor patio during the summer to devour the messy burger. Add a pile of fries to the top for the true slopper taste, and make sure to pair it all with an ice-cold Coors in honor of the building that was once a distribution center for the state’s largest brewery.

The wood-fired pizzas and craft brews at this downtown grub hub come highly recommended by locals. Families stop in for a giant pie that can easily feed a family of four while white-water rafters, hikers, and bikers unwind at the next table with one of the brewery’s well-known chili beers. Artful pizzas like the Michelangelo with pesto sauce, sausage, goat cheese, and green chilies give the popular dishes a unique twist but the Salsiccia pie boasts classic pepperoni, sausage, and tomato for the restaurant’s most popular pick. Local and organic ingredients are also offered in salads, calzones, and paninis, as well as plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options. Peer into the working brewery with glass walls that is centrally located and visible from most tables in this lively space. Pies are also available to go.

This inviting café in the historic district presents an eclectic menu of American and Southwest dishes, with the pork "street" tacos highly recommended. The island half smoked chicken with orange-honey Jamaican jerk sauce and a smoked pork belly with Hawaiian barbecue shine on the revamped menu. A fresh look including a wood bar mounted on a half brick wall maintains the locally-owned restaurant's mountain café feel. Sunday brunch is very popular. For those seeking a morning pick-me-up, try the huevos, chorizo, and corn muffin covered in red sauce.
