Discovering the Bold Flavors of Kachina Cantina's New Menu
As the colder months fade away and spring takes its place, Kachina Cantina, a beloved destination in Denver’s Dairy Block, is set to elevate its culinary game with a fresh menu launch. Known for its vibrant Southwestern flavors, the restaurant has unveiled a series of dishes that are both comforting and innovative. Guided by Executive Chef Carlos Fierro, this menu captures the essence of the Southwest, merging traditional recipes with modern flair.
A Symphony of Flavors Awaits
Among the newly introduced dishes, the Hatch Green Chili Baked Hominy stands out as a rich, cheesy delight. Prepared with slow-roasted hominy and fire-roasted Hatch green chiles, it exemplifies comfort food done right. With sharp cheddar and pepper jack topped with crispy golden crust, this dish is smoky and satisfying, inviting diners to share its warmth.
Another highlight is the Grilled Half Chicken Mole Negro. This succulent roasted chicken, dressed in a deep, house-made mole negro—a sauce enriched with dried chiles and Mexican chocolate—speaks to the heart of Mexican cuisine. Paired with smoky charro beans and roasted poblano green rice, it promises to delight taste buds.
Vegetarian Options That Wow
Catering to the growing demand for plant-forward options, Kachina Cantina introduces the Cauliflower Mole Verde Taco. This vibrant dish features roasted cauliflower coated in a pepita mole verde, showcasing tomatillos and jalapeños, topped with pickled onions. This taco is not just a meal, but a fresh perspective on how vegetables can play a star role in dining.
The Seafood Experience
For seafood lovers, the Shrimp & Scallop Aguachile provides an invigorating burst of flavor. Fresh scallops and shrimp are marinated in a zesty green aguachile, garnished with radish and micro cilantro, transforming a simple dish into a refreshing feast perfect for any occasion.
