Where Tacos, Tequila & Unicorns Collide
At Chubby Unicorn Cantina, we’re all about tasty bites, beachy vibes, and not taking ourselves too seriously (except when it comes to tacos—that’s serious business). Nestled in the heart of Denver’s RiNo Art District, right across from Mission Ballroom, our colorful little spot runs on tacos, tequila, and the untamed spirit of a RiNo—okay fine, a “Chubby Unicorn” who knows how to have a good time. Pre-show hangs, post-work wind-downs, or just because it’s Tuesday—whatever brings you in, we’ll make sure it’s the kind of fun you’ll want to taco ‘bout.

Happy Fourth of July weekend, Colorado! This is a friendly reminder that we are closed for the holiday this weekend. We’ll be back open with regular hours this Wednesday, July 8. See y’all then!! 🇺🇸🎉
This Wednesday at 6 p.m., the big game between U.S.A. and Bosnia and Herzegovina will be shown on the gigantic screen on the Mission Ballroom plaza. We’ll have sound on on our patio. And all the eats and drinks we’re known for. Come through, Denver!

It’s HOT in Denver lately, so here’s a heads up that we’ve got this gorgeous frozen drinks machine and we know how to use it! Swing by any day we’re open, Denver. Let’s cool down!

The amazing staff was so fantastic to me and to my dog. They brought out water for him and even a treat. I just cannot say enough how great your staff is! The food is fantastic The margarita was delicious! Just a great place to eat!Posted on Google Haley CalhounSeptember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chubby Unicorn is the BEST! The food is delicious, the drinks are strong, and the atmosphere never disappoints. If you’re in RiNo and don’t stop in, you’re seriously missing out. Huge shoutout to the crew—Joseph, JJ, and Bri are rockstars behind the bar and make you feel right at home. CJ always takes amazing care of us, and Jeremy is always so welcoming! I’ve moved away from Denver, but trust me… I’m already missing those Miami Vices!Posted on Google Jeff GebottAugust 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stopped by on our way to Mission to see a show. They have a cool walk up window plus full service dining inside. Met Mike the owner, Ross the taco slinger, and our server Pedro was hilarious. Great food, fast and friendly service. Pastor tacos were 🔥🔥🔥Posted on Google Hoery Insurance Agency, Inc.July 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great tacos, drinks, service and patio! Definitely will be back.Posted on Google Wesley HJuly 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quick look on opening week for a preshow drink on a busy night while Sturgill Simpson was playing. Returned a few weeks later on a non-show evening for tacos. Will be interesting to see how they balance the feast or famine crowds on nights with shows vs those without. Great spot in any event and a nice add to Mission concert offerings next door
