• Mexican • Highlands
Booked 12 times today
Our menu is inspired by the Mexican regions of Yucatán, Oaxaca, and Veracruz. We strive to respect the influences and traditions of these diverse cultures to bring you food that is uniquely El Jefe. We believe in doing things the right way. Not because it’s trendy or cool, but because it’s right. We change our menu with the grow season, supporting our neighbors and the terroir of Colorado. We are not your average Mexican joint, rather a reflection of our environment and beliefs. We hand make our tortillas every day. All of our pork comes from one whole hog. Our chefs breakdown the whole animal, for chorizo, appetizers, stocks, soups, and entrees. Nothing is wasted. We do this out of respect for the animal and for the people who raised them for us. Anything we can produce in our kitchen is done by us, with love. No frills, just good food. We do an amazing brunch on the weekends, and by default or menu is nearly 100% gluten free.

    Panzano Restaurant is the ultimate best expierence when it comes to the bestbitalian food in Denver. It doesn't get any better then this. From the service as soon as you walk in to the food that enters the table. It blows my mind coming from a Chef myself that they can produce the highest quality dining expierence in all of Denver. Please do not sleep on this restaurant/expeierence. I always continue to show my support to this restaurant and there menu changes seasonally. I don't know how they do it but I love sitting at the chefs counter and watching masters at their craft. Shootout to everybody that makes it happen....Stephen Temple "chef de cuisine lakewood Country Club".

    This is extremely splurge-worthy. The service was some of the best we've ever had. Great options across the board, super creative drinks and food, beautiful setting. House made focaccia was beyond delicious. For gluten-free guests, they work hard to provide you lots of options too. We'll definitely be back, and if you haven't tried it yet, you should!
