Owned by Mexican-born chef Richard Sandoval, this Riverfront Park restaurant specializes in boldly spiced Latin-Asian small plates. Inside, dark wood tables are brightened by orange and red accents, while the bar’s asymmetrical alcove shelves create an unusual focal point. Additional seating is available outside on the patio, with views of the Rocky Mountains. The menu is divided into several sections, including fresh sushi, dim sum, and antojitos (Mexican street snacks), such as the Thai chicken empanada with red poblano chiles, Oaxaca cheese, and mango-curry salsa. The bar serves Latin wines, 400-plus tequilas, and handcrafted cocktails like the popular cucumber mojito.
Insider Tip:
Happy hour (Monday—Saturday, 5—7 p.m.) is available only in the bar and lounge, so be sure to arrive early if you want to guarantee a seat.
