Welcome to Otra Vez Cantina
Our Story
Otra Vez — once again — is more than a name. It's a promise. Born from a love of bold Mexican flavors, handcrafted cocktails, and the kind of warmth that keeps people coming back, Otra Vez Cantina opened its doors on Denver's 16th Street to bring something the neighborhood was missing: a gathering place rooted in authentic tradition and elevated with a modern spirit. We're locally owned and community-driven, with a kitchen and bar team that pours intention into everything — from our small-batch mezcal pours to the dishes we build around the freshest ingredients we can find. Whether you're pulling up a seat on the patio on a Colorado afternoon or settling in for a Saturday night, you'll find the same thing every time: great food, great drinks, and great people. That's the whole idea. Otra vez.
Quality Food
Our cuisine celebrates the vibrant flavors and rich traditions of Mexican cooking with a modern twist. From our signature botanas like chicharrones & guacamole and queso fundido to our expertly crafted street tacos and sizzling fajitas, every dish showcases authentic ingredients and bold, fresh flavors that transport you straight to Mexico.
We take pride in our house-made specialties, including our famous Otra Vez green chili, handcrafted enchiladas with traditional mole, and creative fusion dishes like our chorizo shrimp burger. Whether you're craving comfort food classics like stuffed sopapillas or looking to explore something new like our camarones a la diabla, our menu offers an exciting culinary journey that honors Mexican heritage while embracing contemporary tastes.
Premium Spirits
Our expertly crafted margaritas are the perfect complement to any meal, featuring premium tequilas and fresh-squeezed lime juice that create the ideal balance of tangy and smooth flavors.

Our full bar showcases an impressive selection of premium spirits, including aged tequilas, smooth whiskeys, and artisanal vodkas that elevate your dining experience.
