"The flagship restaurant of the Maven Hotel at Dairy Block, Kachina Cantina is a modern take on typical Southwestern fare. Its woven leather chairs, carved wooden tables, bright murals, and geometric tiles are a nod to that region’s classic regional style, while the menu pays homage to the Southwest’s iconic dishes, like fry bread tacos, pozole, and calabacitas enchiladas. Take part in Margarita Monday in the dining room or out on the patio, when some margaritas are BOGO. Try Kachina Cantina’s Blood Orange margarita, which is made with Astral Tequila, blood orange and fresh lime juice, and agave syrup, served on the rocks with a salt rim and a slice of dried blood orange." - Rebecca Treon
"From 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve and 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Christmas Day, this colorful Southwestern kitchen in The Maven hotel downtown is doing a prime rib special with truffle-parmesan mashed potatoes, bacon Brussels sprouts, and maple syrup–glazed carrots for $55 a pop. Kachina will also be open for brunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on December 25th, when many a festive cocktail such as the Holly & Jolly featuring bourbon, rye, and spiced cranberry juice can be raised to toast over a table laden with the likes of chorizo-stuffed jalapeños, huevos rancheros, and churro waffles." - Eater Staff
"Though it’s known for its Southwestern cuisine, this Dairy Block spot is offering a traditional Thanksgiving special of roasted turkey with gravy, whipped Yukon potatoes, garlic haricots verts, honey-roasted baby carrots, apple sauce, cranberry sauce, and a French roll at $28 per person; pumpkin pie with vanilla whipped cream goes for $7." - Ruth Tobias

"Halloween is followed by the traditional Mexican day of remembrance Día de Muertos. From October 31 through November 3, the LoDo restaurant is celebrating that tradition with an honorary ofrenda (offrendas are traditional alters made to honor the dead) and a special menu featuring posole, pork tamales, and churros." - Camila Navarrette
