Prep Cook
Family-owned Los Dos is beloved across metro Denver (with locations in Centennial, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, and Parker), but we say that its ready-to-eat dinner packages are worthy of a drive from wherever you may be. Place a timed order to pick up a curbside carryout box of tamales, enchiladas, carnitas, or, our favorite, beef barbacoa. Available Monday through Thursday only, the barbacoa kit feeds four generously with juicy, chile-marinated beef, a cup of the consommé that captured the drippings as the meat cooked, refried beans, rice, tomatillo salsa, onion and cilantro, and freshly made, consommé-dipped corn tortillas. The only skills
Laredo, Texas sits on the Rio Grande across the border from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. The two cities share many connections, so much so that they have been called Los Dos Laredos.
And the two cities have an annual celebration where the bond is re-affirmed with the Abrazos a symbolic ceremony where dignitaries from both sides of the river meet in the middle of the international bridge and exchange a heartful “abrazo,” or hug which symbolizes the continued goodwill and cooperation that the two cities depend on in order to prosper through international trade.
Other events for the Washington Birthday Celebration include a pageant where the participants dress of elaborate costumes inspired by colonial fashion, a Princess Pocahontas Pageant debutant ball, parades, a carnival, concerts, fireworks and more.
