We each had a carne asada taco with fry bread, accompanied by margheritas. OMG! The tacos were, perhaps, the best I have ever had. Given how many I've had, this is high praise. The venue is friendly. The service was polished without being highbrow. I...wish I had time for dinner there.More

All around Kachina Cantina was an excellent dining experience. Guacamole was nicely spiced up. I had the vegetable relleno which was deliciously prepared. Others present all enjoyed there plates. Service was exceptional.

Enjoyed our meal here with wife who had the roasted chicken enchilada, stacked. Which was very good. I enjoyed the conchinita pibil, no leftover as it was very good as well

We found the Milk Market to be overwhelmingly noisy so were glad to find this restaurant nearby. They had a good selection of Mexican food - I enjoyed the plantain and the tacos with cauliflower and pineapple but was less keen on the paprika added...to the fizzy mango drink. Chicken enchiladas were expensive and okay. Service was good once we were seated.More

Stopped here for a quick lunch in Denver. The restaurant is an attractive place with a large bar and open kitchen. We sat outside with a nice view of LoDo and Coors Field. The food was very average. I had a few different tacos. Carne...Asada, Mahi and Chicken. Nothing special. My wife got the chicken and kale salad. Like other reviews the chicken was dry and not very flavorful. Service was friendly and tried hard. I’m always surprised when a Mex style restaurant doesn’t offer hot sauce with tacos and you need to ask and wait.More

Stopped her on our Denver food tour for fry bread with beef, which is kind of like a taco. It was ok. The bread part was very good. The meat was a bit tougher than I like. The green sauce didn't have much flavor. I'm...sure that this place has good food though. Very good design interior.More

We hadn't planned on eating at Kachina Cantina but we came across the restaurant while walking around downtown Denver and we are so glad we stopped by as we thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. Our server Christina was great, friendly and just the right...amount of attention. The food was lovely and I would highly recommend the fried bread that is an option when ordering the tacos, so delicious!! Our lunch was approximately $20 before a tip for two (we didn't order any alcohol). Give Kachina Cantina a go, we'll certainly be going back there to try more of the delicious food!!More

Easily located in LoDo. Fast and good food. House margarita was delicious. The fry dough taco was amazing. Rice and beans not really worth it as a side.

Decor was fun. Unfortunately, the food was not good. We had salsa trios, vegetable rellenos, taco platter, & queso fundido. We sent our first queso back - was cold. Second one not better. Skip this restaurant. Everything was below average.

Really enjoyed our meals and the service was great. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the chef has included some amazing spices/flavors in his dishes. The carnitas taco is delicious.

We had a lovely stop at Kachina Catina. Sat outside in the shade and relaxed. The margaritas were yummy and the guac delish. The service was good, too. But, please, how do you screw up a taco? We ordered their roasted chicken tacos from the...hh menu and they were terrible ... dry, bland, cold tortillas, and just terrible. It’s tough to screw up a taco but they managed to do it. Stop for drinks and chips and guac but don’t bother with the taco menu.More

Tacos on fry bread can’t be beat. We had both the wagu beef and the shredded chicken. Sides were typical Mexican fare. But the pitcher of white sangria put it over the top. We got in on a busy night, but reservations are probably smart.

I came here for a beer and a quick bite before I started my night. I sat at the bar for some time while the bartender played on her phone. I ordered the Wagyu carne asada taco: cojita cheese, cilantro, avocado salsa on fry bread....The meat was a bit tough but the flavors and textures were good. The fry bread is fantastic!More
