 Try an Italian sausage
“You can’t come to Pueblo without sandwich they call
getting a plate of Mexican food, and one of the Pass Key Special
the places I always rave about is Mexi-
Deli,” he says. “They have good chips and
salsa and cold Mexican beer while you
look over the menu, and their house
specialty is the taco Azteca. It’s a flat taco
shell layered with frijoles and your choice
of meat, topped with sour cream,
guacamole, lettuce, tomato and cheese,
and then smothered with green chili. It’s
the best.”
“For my dinner, I like to order off the
Tapas menu although they have a full
dinner menu as well. I enjoy the garlic spicy
shrimp followed by some prosciutto-
wrapped asparagus, then a steak brochette
topped with blue cheese,” he says. “Plus, I
can never pass up the calamari at Park
East. I also enjoy a glass of Toasted Head
merlot to accompany my meal.”
The next day, Rod suggests lunch at
Pueblo’s iconic Pass Key.
“Try an Italian sausage sandwich they
call the Pass Key Special,” he says. “The
owners buy their sausage from the same
market they’ve used for decades, then
mix in their own secret spices before
grilling it to perfection.”
Next time you’re in town, give Rod a call;
he might join you for a meal.
