Dad was a health inspector, so knew what Denver restaurants to eat at and which ones to stay away from. I think the special combination was 75 cents or 1.00 when I actually paid attention to prices. The meals always had a pecan praline with them. Still eat at the one on Littleton, just there last weekend. Dad really liked the "Original" one the best, so that's where we ate the most. Saturdays (working at Buckingham Square) a friend and I would always go to the Havana/Mississippi location. Sister and her in-laws would take back the green chili everytime they visited from Montana. Going to miss the people and the great food. Tried other places, but with 60+ year of eating at Taco House, it's still the best comfort food for our family

When "Sultans of Swing" comes on the radio I am instantly transported to the prep area at the Villa Italia location. I was 14 years old in "78" making guacamole when I first heard it on 95 KIMN. Many fond memories of working and eating there. I always make the effort when I'm in Denver to have a smothered green bean burrito.
