About
🆕 NOW OPEN — August 2026. JP Cocina & Cantina opened at 11160 S Pikes Peak Dr, in the building that formerly housed Wild Goose Saloon. Read our full coverage →
JP Cocina & Cantina is a family-owned Mexican restaurant and cantina just off Mainstreet in Parker, near Parker Road next to Best Buy. The owners describe it as the next chapter from a family already running local cafes and food trucks around Parker, and the room reflects the ambition — a long, fully stocked back bar, café-style seating throughout, and large murals of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix flanking the dining room.
The menu runs from $4 street tacos and shareable dips up through arrachera, ribeye tacos with roasted bone marrow, birria, chile rellenos, seafood soup and aguachile. There's also a burger and salad section, a kids menu, and a bar list of margaritas, martinis, beer and wine.
What To Expect:
- 🎸 Two live music stages — the building's live-music history continues under the new concept
- 🌮 Street tacos from $4, entrees roughly $14–$25
- 🍸 Full bar with margaritas, martinis, beer and wine, plus a happy hour
- ☀️ Indoor and outdoor dining

- – Open daily from 11:00am; kitchen runs to 9:00pm Sun–Thu and 10:00pm Fri–Sat
- – Online ordering was not yet switched on as of mid-August 2026 — call (720) 363-8670

📍 Local Insights
🎸 It Kept the Music: This is the old Wild Goose Saloon building, and the new owners leaned into that rather than erasing it — two live music stages and big Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix murals in the dining room.
🥔 Look Past the Taco Menu: The interesting stuff is in the entrees — ribeye tacos served with roasted bone marrow, arrachera, and a $24 seafood soup with shrimp, octopus, crab legs and fish.
⏰ Open at 11am Every Day: No weekday closure, which sets it apart from a lot of Mainstreet-area spots. Late kitchen on Friday and Saturday to 10:00pm.
🅿️ Easy to Find: Near Parker Road and Mainstreet, next to Best Buy, with the building's own lot — far simpler parking than downtown Mainstreet itself.
ℹ️ Heads Up: The restaurant's own homepage still showed an "Opening Soon" banner after opening. It's open — call the restaurant if you want to confirm hours on a given day.
