Savina’s Mexican Kitchen appears poised for further expansion, with Colorado Springs reportedly teased as part of the brand’s stated growth plans. According to 5280 Magazine, the revered hospitality team behind the business confirmed that the Pikes Peak region will welcome the restaurant in the future.
Beyond that, not many details are known, including a timeline or where exactly in the Springs the company is eyeing for expansion. What Now Denver could not reach co-owner Mark Brinkerhoff, who was quoted as saying such, for clarification.
This news comes on the heels of another town teased as the site of a possible new Savina’s. Last week, we reported on a probable development underway in Loveland, which is supposedly opening sometime this spring. It’s expected to move into the former Pinocchio’s Incredible Italian space at 1455 Rocky Mountain Avenue.
Many changes have taken place within the Savina’s Mexican Kitchen system in recent months. After a divorce and legal case led to the restructuring of the locally acclaimed La Loma restaurant group, its locations were divided amongst members of the family. Downtown Denver and Castle Rock were awarded to Mark and his father, and they subsequently changed the name to Savina’s, after his wife’s grandmother.
Its menu remains centered on scratch-made dishes, including chile rellenos, flautas, enchiladas, mesquite-grilled fajitas, and the restaurant’s hallmark green chile. Savina’s also offers weekend brunch service with items such as huevos rancheros, breakfast burritos, and breakfast fajitas, along with cocktails like mimosas, micheladas, and Bloody Marias.
