Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
When Pisco Sour closed on East Colfax Avenue last year, fans of the Peruvian restaurant weren't entirely out of luck; the closing just meant a fifteen-mile detour south to a newer Pisco Sour near Park Meadows Mall. The owners of 7 Leguas Mexican Grille don't want their customers to have to make such a long trek to their second location, though: They took over the old Pisco Sour spot and will soon open a second 7 Leguas just a couple miles east of the original.
The first 7 Leguas (not lenguas; the joint is named after Poncho Villa's horse) opened in 2012 at Colfax and Cherry Street; the new location will boast a dining room nearly twice the size of the current space, with a bigger bar and plenty of off-street parking. The owners expect to open by the end of summer.
