First visit: Mar 2025
It is a cold and dreary Thursday morning, and I'm heading back to Denver for a dig (it was to warm up later). As I said on the Port of Subs review, this is starting to become a weekly ritual. For this day, the sales started a little later, so I thought I'd sneak in a breakfast. Castle Rock is the perfect halfway stop to most places in Denver. I've already been back to B&B Cafe this year, so let's see what else they on offer for an early meal. Pegasus popped up, so let's give it a try.
The restaurant sits just a little off the main drag in downtown Castle Rock, near an Italian restaurant we used to frequent called Angie's (Mrs. RJG doesn't like them, but I should try it again, and document it here). As the photo indicates, it almost looks like an office or law building. And it appears some of the structure is used for business. But most of the space is the restaurant. Once you walk in, they ask you to grab a menu and seat yourself. I took a cozy both near the window. The restaurant is very well decorated in dark woods. A soothing refuge from the chaos of the world.
Ordered coffee and Chilladas, the latter I researched online before getting there. To your right you'll see the flavored creamers I desire, and I'd already loaded up my cup. What I wasn't prepared for is that my meal came very quick and I barely had a couple of sips. That's not a complaint. :-)
They define Chilladas as thus: "Two Scrambled eggs w/diced ham and melted cheddar cheese all wrapped in soft corn tortillas an smothered in our green chili. Served w/ hash browns or frijoles topped with Monterey Jack." Essentially enchiladas instead of a smothered burrito. I started in on the beans. A little bland and they could have stood to be a tad hotter in temperature. Though they certainly were hotter than warm. The hash browns are really crisp. Real friend potatoes and many of them cooked to a crisp, which tasted almost like bacon. Excellent The green chili is the make it or break it ingredient, and I'm happy to say it was excellent. Definitely spicy, hot temperature, and very flavorful. All the rest was cooked as expected and a very good dish overall.
Service was very friendly on this visit as well. They also have a full lunch menu I'd like to try sometime. Pegasus is a new addition to the RJG rotation, and I'm certain to be back next year.
