Nááts'íilid 'Rainbow' Kitchen Offers Indigenous Foods and Cooking Classes Near Denver

"Founded by Indigenous chef and food activist Narissa Ribera, a member of the Diné (Navajo) Nation who grew up primarily in Denver but spent time with family on reservation land in New Mexico and Arizona, this shop grew out of Ribera’s longtime gardening and cottage-food work. Ribera notes, “There are thousands of plants that have been erased from our history and from future generations.” The business offers indigenous plant foods from heirloom varieties and sources ingredients from other Indigenous producers, and Ribera also wild-harvests native plants in Colorado’s San Luis Valley — including piñon, tangy sumac, and mild, sweet yucca flowers, which taste “like young artichoke leaves.” Bestsellers include prickly pear popcorn, hatch chile powders, and a soup mix containing high-protein tepary beans, along with blue corn meal that’s nixtamalized with juniper ash (the main source of calcium in the traditional Diné diet). Products are available online (chil-indigenousfoods.com) and Ribera emphasizes sourcing from Indigenous, organic, non-GMO farms." - Cynthia Barnes

Just picked up my order. The people here are the sweetest. Highly recommend getting your order earlier if there is something you want because they might run out, but everything is so amazing. Editing the next day: I just finished my leftovers and they kept so well. Everything I ordered made me feel amazing and felt very intentionally made. I really appreciate how well everything is labeled on the menu and how the ingredients are all so carefully selected. I will absolutely be going back. Also note for those who like me got lost - the ordering window is on the side of the church!

Loved this! Ordered for the first time and will be back. Everything on their menu is 100% plant-based, which is really awesome. We got the pozole and it was incredible, especially with the abundant toppings and high quality ingredients (flavor was well developed). The prickly pear lemonades were good too (not too sweet or sour, but still flavorful). I split the fry bread panini with my partner and we both really liked it, good use of jalapenos and spice:) Finished off with their blue corn cake, the berries on top were a wonderful touch. Next time I'd order two. Highly recommend for unique and delicious food you can't find anywhere else!!

I had a bad experience with this restaurant—small portions, poor flavor, and a confusing refund situation that left me frustrated. I also made an offhand comment during that time that, in hindsight, was culturally insensitive. That wasn’t my intention, and I’ve taken time to reflect on it. For context, I’m someone who eats 10 grams of shrooms a couple times a year, sits in ceremonies with bufo, kambo, and once ate 8 grams of Amanita pantherina. So when I half-jokingly asked for a peyote walk in exchange for the disappointing meal, I was genuinely speaking from a place that values altered states—but I now understand how that request came off, and I regret how I framed it. All that said, the food still wasn’t worth $92.00 to me—but I do respect their mission to source ingredients from Indigenous farms and use traditional, regenerative practices. I hope they continue finding the right audience. Just wasn’t for me.

Really cool concept with lots of interesting dishes unlike anywhere else or anything else available in the Denver metro area. The ingredients are not only unique, but the quality of ingredients really shines through in everything. On top of it all, everyone working there is so nice and is passionate about their craft.

I am so grateful to have discovered Ch'il at the recent Arvada Pow wow! Narissa's wild rice horchata is unbelievable...so earthy with just the right amount of sweetness. I love the blue corn shakes and pancakes, the chokecherry and honey syrup, and the amazing Indian tacos. Most recently, the Pozole with a ton of fresh veggies to load on top was sensational. Ch'il is worth trying, friends. Open weekends now at 38th and Wadsworth! And while you are there, check out Sweet Ridge Studios owned by Melinda for amazing art classes for ages 1-99!

best food experience in a while! The folks who brought us our food were so kind and communicative throughout the ordering and pick up process. we ordered one of almost everything on the menu. the muffins, biscuits, and fry bread were incredible. Perfect temperature, texture and such generous quantities. We tried both the chili and the roasted chestnut soup. both had such deep flavors, were so comforting, and the white corn dessert was a perfect end to the meal. Wish we had ordered about five more :) we are so lucky to have such generous and talented chefs here in Denver!

Unbelievably delicious! Every single item I have ever had from Ch’il has been incredible. There is attention to detail, complex flavors, amazing mixtures of ingredients, and just all around awesome food. But what’s even more important about food from Ch’il: it will truly heal you and lift you up. There is love and soul in this food, and it’s exactly what our world needs! Narissa has given us an amazing gift: incredibly delicious, nourishing food that should be protected at all costs! If you are lucky enough to have had food from Ch’il, you’re lucky enough!

The best cake and cupcakes I ever had came from Narissa. Every birthday or special occasion our family orders through her now. I appreciate the thought and care she puts into not only the baking but also the recipe and ingredients.
