So, how's that grilled cheese sandwich and fried chicken?
Sounds like someone needs to branch out the taste buds.
But wait. We're not talking expanding the cereal collection -- we're talking exploring Boulder's great ethnic restaurants.
And, no, going to Taco Bell does not count as authentic Mexican cuisine.
Since most of us can't afford to travel the world, Boulder makes it easy to find good, authentic ethnic food.
Here are 10 spots to satiate your worldly hunger.

With a spice scale from 1 to 10, the Mexican restaurant serves all different taste buds.
You can't go wrong with any option, but if you're looking for adventure, skip the menu and order the Efrain's burrito, which is "smothered in who knows what."
Get there early, because there's usually a wait.
Zudaka
Where: 4457 North Broadway Street, Boulder, 303-442-2717

Latin food without the meat, might sound unappetizing, but that's not the case at the vegetarian-and-vegan-friendly Zudaka.
If you're a carnivore who's a little nervous, don't fret -- the dishes are just as delicious without meat.
Try the hallaquitas, Venezuelan tamales coated in melted cheese, and don't be afraid to make a mess by piling on salsa, hot sauce and black beans -- it's the only way to properly enjoy it

Hours: 8 a.m.-4 a.m. Monday-Saturday
Satisfying that craving for Middle Eastern food might involved ready-made hummus and store-bought pitas, but not at Arabesque Cafe.

The friendly atmosphere is perfect for a casual breakfast or a lunch date with friends.
But don't plan on having dinner -- Arabesque closes at 4.
