In the 1970s, there were 11 Holly Inns in Colorado and three in other states. But the chain, owned by George Pappas, slowly faded. Rejoice, cheese fans. George and Marina Andrianakos have reopened the Holly Inn at 2223 S. Monaco Parkway in Denver, Colorado.More good news: They have brought back the world-famous Tacorito, a chubby burrito stuffed with ground beef, diced onion, shredded cheddar and chopped lettuce, smothered with more oven-melted cheddar cheese and swimming in Holly Inn's own special enchilada sauce. They also brought back Eddie Vassilakos, the chef who created the Tacorito and cooked it for Pappas for 20 years. To cap it off, they brought back the restaurant's award-winning margaritas.
