Mantis Kitchen serves fresh, nutritious, delicious food sourced from in and around both the San Luis and Arkansas Valley. We use what is seasonally available as inspiration to bring the best around to you, supporting our bioregion. Having extensive experience both in the cooking and baking world, we offer great meals as well as fantastic baked goods. From salads with local proteins to cookies, granola, scones, and creative waffles, Mantis Kitchen is bringing Salida another option for dining out for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and late night. We believe that connection to our natural world, community members, farmers, and our minds and bodies brings us whole meaningful health. Let Mantis Kitchen nourish you.

Mantis Kitchen had been freed into the wild. Find us at Alpine Park for the Saturday Farmers Market and Liberty Hall on Fridays and Sundays! Watch for more OPEN hours and future collaborations as we adjust for each season. Find the Mantis in the wild on our Instagram page!
