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!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We stopped in for lunch. I got the chicken soup and it was perfecto! Their guacamole was some of the best I have had. The bowl was generous and their chips were not greasy. I must say their margaritas were outstanding.

I ate at kachina while I stayed at the Maven, food was really good. I enjoyed the fry bed tacos. I’m picky with my margaritas at I thought it was solid.

Definitely recommend.

A welcoming restaurant with great attention to quality affordable Mexican cuisine, comparable to LA and possibly Mexico City. Also, great wait staff!
