Diaz Farm owners launch brickand-mortar restaurant

Several years ago, a pocket urban farm in North Boulder started getting some buzz.

The Diaz Farm, owned by Pepe and Veronica Diaz, were selling produce and eggs from their one-acre farm, along with sourdough bread and empanadas. That expanded into tacos, gorditas and more from the onsite Tierra y Fuego food truck. Anyone that’s driven past their Jay Road spot knows the place quickly gained an enthusiastic following. That’s all been parlayed into a brick-and-mortar location of the same name (also in North Boulder, on Broadway), where the Diaz team serve their straightforward, fresh Mexican fare in the form of tacos, burritos, quesadillas and more, alongside alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

It was only a matter of time before the Diaz operation expanded — the food is wildly good. Do yourself a favor and stop by (4550 Broadway, Unit C-3A).

Crab kits for the Fourth

The folks at Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar want to share their fresh seafood with you this Independence Day, even if it means you eat it at home.

Jax is offering a take-away kit (for $95, feeds two) packed with two pounds of Alaskan snow crab, a half-pound of sustainably raised shrimp, another half-pound of house-smoked andouille sausage, along with potatoes, sweet corn, special seasonings and a baguette for dipping.

Preorder your kit before 9 p.m. on Thursday, July 2, or if you miss the deadline, stop by for in-person dining on July 4 from 3:30-9 p.m. (meals are $55 per person).
