One of the biggest casualties of the pandemic for Denver foodies was the shuttering of Benny’s, a Mexican eatery that had been a Cap Hill staple for 30+ years. Rumors have been swirling about the business reopening, and city records show work is scheduled at the 301 E 7th Ave. property.
The City and County of Denver approved structural plans submitted by owner Benjamin Armas on May 3. Documents state the business is looking to “open a wall and insert windows between our dining room and patio.”
There have been other signs of life recently from the brand. Last week, Benny’s Facebook page updated its cover photo; the post has 50+ comments from people begging for more information.
While the Benny’s team did not respond to What Now Denver to comment about an opening date, the page posted on May 5 saying, “We are still trying to figure things out, we will not leave everyone hanging and will give you an update as soon as we have one!”
Are they keeping the food poisoning?
