Perdida

It was a late Christmas/early New Year’s lunch with Janet & Bob and Mike & Lauren. We all went to lunch at a new restaurant called Perdida before going wining.

Perdida is a new Mexican restaurant with a very beachy, coastal feel and vibe. It is like a quick trip to Cabo, without leaving our own hometown. Perdida just opened about 3 weeks ago, so it is all fresh and new, ready to ring in the new year. It is one of 12 restaurants owned by the Gastamo Group, based in the Denver area. Perdida – Mexican Kitchen was created by Gastamo Group, the team behind some of Denver’s most celebrated restaurants including Park Burger, Lady Nomada, Park & Co, Homegrown Tap & Dough, and Birdcall.

Perdida brings the vibrant flavors of Coastal Mexico to life, focusing on fresh, wood-fired dishes made with local and organic ingredients. 

The food was as fresh and colorful as the decor of the restaurant itself. We started off with chips and salsa before our lunch came. They offered salsa that everyone knows and loves, as well as a spicy, creamy salsa too. Both were very good.

We all ordered something different. Three of us ordered different taco versions, all of which came with black beans and lime cilantro rice.

Larry ordered his tacos as lettuce wraps for a different perspective.

Lauren ordered fried shrimp.

Janet and Bob shared a couple of plates. One was fried chili rellenos with a green chili sauce on he side.

And they also ordered a combo plate.

All six of us raved about what we ordered and we all said we will definitely be back again in the near future too. It was a fun lunch, followed by a fun time wining at InVINtions. We took our new wine game, Wine Wars Wine Wars – The Game and played that while enjoying our wines.

Perdida offers dine-in and carry-out options, as well as catering and their food truck, that will be out and about in the very near future.

Currently, there are two Perdida locations. There is the first one, in the Wash Park area of Denver, located at 1066 S. Gaylord Street, (303) 529-1365, and the brand new location in Westminster, located at 1257 W. 120th Avenue (720) 826-6555. Both locations are open seven days a week – Sunday-Thursday from 11:00 AM-9:00 PM and from 11:00-10:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.
