Colorado Mts. – Better Tex-Mex

Colorado Mts. is one of the best tex-mex / cajun / creole (or as they put it, South-West Menu) restaurants in Helsinki. The food is excellent, and the beer flows fast — what else would you need in these restaurants. The service is surprisingly courteous and personal. The flipside of the restaurant is general noisiness and too much smoke especially later in the evening.

You could write a novel about the interiors. It is simultaneously both intriguing and tacky. There are a lot of old posters and plaques on the walls, the tables are made of really sturdy wood and there is an axe ‘hit’ through every table, serving as a chandelier. A small train runs two meters above the bar desk for some reason unfathomable for me.

The restaurant is quite crowded, so reserve a table beforehand to avoid disappointments at the door.
