Raquelitas typically sells wholesale by the pallet. But the founder's grandson convinced the family to open a tasting room & retail store at the RiNo factory that's only open a few hours 2 days a week, and it's created a cult following of loyal fans who wait in long lines for new tortilla drops

Their tortilla flavors are SO fun and inventive: hibiscus corn, Sonoran-style brisket tallow, dessert flavors like Mexican hot chocolate or cinnamon roll. And their best-selling Pueblo Green Chile Chips with Devil Dust -- the "adult Cool Ranch Dorito" -- will make you swear off Doritos forever.

🧵 Raquelitas, a family-owned Denver tortilla-maker since 1960, sources almost all of its ingredients from Colorado: heirloom corn grown by the Ute Mountain Ute, spent grain from Tommyknocker Brewery, Pueblo chiles, Riot BBQ‘s rendered brisket fat.

Reading @tineywristwatch.bsky.social’s work each day is like watching a butterfly land on a sunflower: you just feel a little more glad to be alive than you were 10 minutes ago

You are in for a wild ride, friend 😆 Not only do mine survive every winter but they have grown into 3 MASSIVE bushes. I already harvested a 1/2 lb. 2 weeks ago (!). This is them in May last year; each bundle is 2x bigger & still spreading I already had to make chive oil to not waste the surplus 😭

12 years ago I went to Nashville to shoot, report and run live coverage of George Jones’ funeral at the Grand Ole Opry for newspapers & TV stations in Beaumont + Houston A dream assignment for a 27yo music writer & photographer about to launch her first show on public radio. Rest easy, Possum

Saturday’s not Saturday until I line up in a parking lot off East Colfax to buy chocolate milk and Greek yogurt from the sweetest dogs in the mountain west #sageandjazz #fivefreedoms

Small Fry and Bubbles were very bonded, but Small died suddenly last month. A friend commissioned her portrait from the artist Elena Sandovici and Bub has been sitting with it and leaving little tufts of his fur on it 🥺
