Contemporary Southern

About the restaurant

Tupelo Honey is a revival of Southern food and traditions rooted in the Carolina Mountains we call home. Steps from historic Denver Union Station, we craft brunches, lunches and suppers that bring family and friends around the table and allow for conversations and cocktails to linger longer than usual. Always scratch-made, always responsibly-soured, and always Southern.

Reservations are recommended, and we welcome walk-ins where possible! All guests with pets must be sat outside in designated areas per DPHE, and only when our patio is open. Our Patio is north-facing and weather dependent, please call the restaurant ahead of time to inquire whether the patio is open or not.

Mexican

Highlands

About the restaurant

Our menu is inspired by the Mexican regions of Yucatán, Oaxaca, and Veracruz. We strive to respect the influences and traditions of these diverse cultures to bring you food that is uniquely El Jefe.

We believe in doing things the right way. Not because it’s trendy or cool, but because it’s right. We change our menu with the grow season, supporting our neighbors and the terroir of Colorado. We are not your average Mexican joint, rather a reflection of our environment and beliefs.

We hand make our tortillas every day. All of our pork comes from one whole hog. Our chefs breakdown the whole animal, for chorizo, appetizers, stocks, soups, and entrees. Nothing is wasted. We do this out of respect for the animal and for the people who raised them for us. Anything we can produce in our kitchen is done by us, with love. No frills, just good food.

We do an amazing brunch on the weekends, and by default or menu is nearly 100% gluten free.

A perfect brunch spot with even better people! From the moment we walked in , we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. Hostess was very nice, we wanted to seat close by music and she provided us a very nice table. The service and food are top-notch. What really elevated the entire experience was our server, Dawa was kind , professional and incredibly attentive. If you are looking for a delicious brunch with impeccable service, look no further than ELLYNGTON’s !
