Encanto Cocina & Cantina
Flame-grilled Mexican and a bar that runs to half past one
A Mexican kitchen and cantina on Larimer at 21st doing flame-grilled meats, tacos and margaritas in a room that shifts from restaurant to bar as the night goes on. The hours tell the story: 11am to 9pm early in the week, midnight on Thursday, 1:30am Friday and Saturday, 11pm Sunday. That puts it in the small group of places in the Ballpark blocks still serving food while the bars around it are full, and it sits directly on the walking route between Larimer and the stadium.
Why go. Late food and a full bar on the busiest block of Larimer.
Thursday through Saturday it becomes a bar with a kitchen attached; come before 9pm if you want to talk.
