"Channeling the sunny shores of Mexico, this Wash Park cocina y cantina should make for a great escape on what will undoubtedly be a frigid night in Denver. Naturally, the four-course prix fixe it’s offering for $100 per person matches the decor, brimming with dishes like fried garlic shrimp, mixed seafood ceviche, surf-and-turf enchiladas, and scallops al pastor — and topped off with a complimentary ice luge shot. (Note that Perdida’s brand-new Westminster location will be open for regular business on New Year’s Eve.)" - Ruth Tobias
