About Us
The name El Tesoro, which means "the treasure," is the perfect sobriquet for this jewel of a restaurant, tucked away in the historic downtown "arts" district of Colorado Springs. Just a short walk (down hill, no less!) from the Antler's Hilton Hotel, El Tesoro offers guests an authentic taste of Santa Fe Style Cuisine in a charming southwestern setting. "The Treasure" of Sierra Madre Street, is the latest in a long and colorful history of tenants that have occupied this building since the early 1900s. Since then, the building has housed a number of craftsmen and artisans, including the noted interior designer Marshall Morin, whose decor graced the Broadmoor Hotel and many of Colorado Springs' fine homes during the '60s and '70s. We like to think the 1991 conversion of this building into a cozy adobe Southwestern style restaurant is a proud addition to the building's history.
