Unique Eats in Denver

I'm going to be visiting Denver and want to try some unique Denver fare. Budget is below $20, preferably below $10.

Please don't recommend places where entrees are $20+, like ThePrague, The Fort, etc. I'm not looking for fine dining.

1. Rocky Mountain Oysters

Found this place:

A lot of people recommend Buckhorn Exchange but it's a pricey place in general:

2. Rattlesnake?

Uhhhh...

3. Trout

Not sure.

4. Any other kind of food I should try?

Biker Jim's was recommended for unique dogs:

I'd eat the rattlesnake or the fish, but there's no way in hell you're getting me to eat bull balls.
 
i know the owner, its not mexican food its food from new mexico. the hot green chili is hot and i suggest you try the Indian Taco.

buckhorn exchange is very pricy its why ive never been plus im not a exotic meat guy. just give me cow, chicken or pork and im happy.

there is a place here in boulder called The DarkHorse. its near the CU campus and the interior is so bizarre and unique that its worth the trip. the food is pretty good, their mushroom swiss burger is pretty good in my book

Before you go on assuming something that's not true... Coloradans don't eat said "oysters" any more than other people.

But hey, go nuts
 
Unique eats doesnt necessarily mean good food. Most of the foreign, good and cheap foods are concentrated around federal blvd btw. Make sure you drive, dont walk thru that area.
 
obviously you should go to casa bonita. it's just a given.

i also suggest the white fence farm.
 
Casa Bonita has pretty bland food, but I also recommend everybody go just once for the experience.

i never said the food was great 0.o

well, white fence farm is.. but casa bonita is an experience. (and the sopapillas are good)
 
What are they like?

Is it like a chicken kiev where the juice sort of splashes down your chin? D:

There's not much to it. The texture is more tender than your typical meat, and it doesn't have the striations of the muscle fibers. The taste is very very mild. No pungent aroma or anything. It's not "wet" or "juicy" or anything.
