Aurora Restaurants and Dining

(Aurora, Colorado - CO, USA)

New Mexican cuisine is popular in the state of Colorado, with burritos and tacos being a mainstay at a number of restaurants within the city of Aurora. However, many Americans are happy to forego fine dining and instead make use of the plentiful fast-food eateries spread around the city.

Fast-food restaurant chains in Aurora include all the big names, many of which are to be found lining East Colfax Avenue, such as Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, Red Lobster and Taco Bell. Branches of Burger King and Subway stand on East Mississippi Avenue, while a Wendy's on South Havana Street offers old-fashioned hamburgers, chicken wraps and salads.

There are a huge number of additional dining options lining East Colfax Avenue, East Mississippi Avenue and South Havana Street, amongst other prominent roads such as East Alameda Avenue, East Hampden Avenue and South Parker Road.

Where to Eat

Located on the southern side of Aurora, leading off from the Kennedy Golf Course and the Cherry Creek Reservoir, South Parker Road is a safe bet for those dining out.

Eateries in this part of the city certainly cater for all kinds of different tastes and budgets. Those with a taste for Indian cuisine will likely enjoy a meal at Jai Ho, the Star of Indian or the Masalaa Restaurant. Alternatively, Big City Burrito, Sonoda's Sushi and Papa Ricks Pizza are also situated on South Parker Road and intersecting South Peoria Street, with the latter pizzeria being extremely suitable for families.

Centrally located along East Alameda Avenue, the Town Center at Aurora is not only a substantial shopping complex, but it also comes with more than a handful of dining opportunities. At the Town Center, you can choose between familiar names such as Charley's, Famous Wok, Peppino's Pizza, Q' Rico, Sbarro, Taco Bell and the TGI Fridays restaurant chain.

Virtually next-door on East Exposition Avenue is Helga's German Restaurant and Deli, which opened as a family business in 1989 and from humble beginnings, has gained quite a reputation in Aurora for its Germany-style dining, its authentic beer and its lively band nights.
