Kachina Cantina, Brunch at The Maven Hotel
During our stay at The Maven Hotel, we dined at Kachina Cantina located in the Maven’s lobby for brunch. Their brunch was so good that we ended up eating here twice. Kachina is now serving brunch on Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
We arrived at Kachina and were seated in the main dining room. The aesthetic of the restaurant was that of a lively cantina with a bright mural wall, turquoise thatched chairs, & metal light fixtures.
Our server Cody was a doll - he had fantastic energy and knew the brunch menu inside & out. Cody recommended our two favorite dishes of the morning.
Kachina had Bottomless Margaritas for $25 & Bottomless Mimosas for $20. For Margaritas we had the Jalapeño Cucumber Margarita, the Blood Orange Margarita, and the Rockies Margarita.
The Jalapeño Cucumber Margarita was my favorite and was made with jalapeño + cucumber infused tequila, lime, & agave.
For appetizers we had the Pan Y Queso made with homemade ricotta, local honey, & fried bread.
The pillowy sweet bread was the perfect base for the fluffy ricotta.
For our Main Dishes we had the Quesabirria, Chicken & Waffles, and the Vegetable Relleno.
The Quesabirria was made with birria quesadillas, asadero, avocado salsa, & pickled onions.
The flavorful stewed birria beef was bold in chili taste and was fall-apart-tender (my mouth is watering just thinking about it). The soft corn tortillas were covered with melty cheese and enveloped the shredded meat. This was my favorite dish of brunch and I had it again the next day - a must order!
The Chicken & Waffles were made with chorizo gravy, fried chicken, & churro waffles.
This was a fun twist on classic chicken and waffles and was Ross’ favorite. The vibrant chorizo gravy was savory with a bit of a spice - the perfect addition on top of the fried chicken. The churro waffles complemented the savory chorizo with cinnamon sugary sweetness.
The Vegetable Relleno was made with poblano pepper, asadero, rice, avocado salsa, & cotija.
The exterior of the vibrant forest green pepper was fried to perfection. The pepper was stuffed with tasty cheese & veggies.
