TAPAteria is a Spanish tapas and paella restaurant on West Colorado Avenue in Old Colorado City, west of downtown. Its website states that the covered patio is dog friendly and open for seating year round, as long as the weather is comfortable enough to sit outside. Sangria Sunday brings discounted glasses, and the restaurant hosts paella-on-the-patio events. Reservations are taken by phone. It is a good fit for an evening meal after a Red Rock Canyon walk, since the covered roof keeps the patio usable in light rain and shoulder-season evenings when open-air decks elsewhere have closed.
