WEST HIGHLAND — Did you know The Matador was part of a 14-restaurant, Seattle-based chain? Until researching the Tex-Mex hangout on a prominent Highlands corner for this review, I’d thought it was a local joint.

Matador’s assistant general manager, Matt Burns, shared that everything at The Matador is made in-house, including its salsas and marinades. Blessed relief.

DENVER — Here in Denver the issue of DACA hits close to home so it’s no surprise the issue has struck a nerve among our diverse population, and its compassionate city’s leaders. DACA – the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, was created by an Executive Order issued by President Obama in 2012. The program gives undocumented immigrants who came to the US before the age of 16 – a group sometimes known as the Dreamers – a chance to stay in the US to study or work, provided they meet certain conditions, such as being enrolled in high school, having a high school degree or GED equivalent, and no serious criminal convictions, among others.
