We have some friends in Boulder who insisted that we break for lunch at Efrain’s after a busy morning helping them move furniture into their new condo. Hmmm… chile on a hot day? Sure thing! The menu features a spice meter and every block on the meter is filled on anything that features green chile at Efrain’s in Boulder (and Lafayette), Colorado. That is because Efrain’s only makes one kind of green chile. It’s spicy hot! I sampled the Costillas with fried potatoes and a margarita. Costillas are ribs smothered in Efrain’s green chile. Wow! That was a tasty spice bomb for the senses! The potatoes take off some of the heat, but it is best to take this dish slowly, chasing it with a tart swig of the Premier Margarita (limit 2 per customer and they aren’t kidding).
