A Five Points restaurant blending Latin American and American Southern cooking — collard greens with chicharron, carne asada fries, and the best margarita in the city.
Why It Belongs on the List
Work & Class delivers bold, satisfying food in an unpretentious, high-energy setting, blending Latin American flavors with American comfort classics. Founded by Chef Dana Rodriguez, the restaurant is built around generous portions, strong drinks, and a welcoming, communal vibe. It’s one of Denver’s most reliable and loved dining experiences.
