Molino Chido
Mexican
Corn is ground on-site, which tells you something about how seriously the kitchen takes its tortillas before you've ordered a single taco. Molino Chido is a casual Mexican spot in Aurora where the folding chairs and cement floors make no pretense, but the team behind it comes from serious restaurant kitchens. The menu runs from straightforward carnitas to bison tongue, and a counter tasting menu exists for anyone who wants the full ride.
