Mountain Sun has been my favorite restaurant since I moved to Boulder 3 years ago. Contrary to what one might believe, it's one of the few places in town to get a reasonably-priced vegetarian meal and have several options as to which meatless dish to order. They have options ranging from Mexican fare to pizza to sandwiches, soups and salads. A bonus to the wonderful food is their selection of Boulder-brewed beers. My favorite is Java Porter, a dark beer brewed with coffee. The only complaint I have with the restaurant is that it is small, and one usually has to wait at least 20-30 minutes for a table, and there is no space to wait comfortably, as it is packed and difficult to even stand. But they are about to open a new location in Boulder, which will hopefully cut down on the wait time at the original location.
Pros: excellent beer, friendly staff
Cons: wait to be seated, no space to wait, no room for strollers
