Lovely! Our second visit. Service is perfect. Great ambiance. We had the special Valentines menu. The burrata was really creative in the garnish and presentation. Wish bread came with it as just forkfuls of cheese isn’t ideal. The squid ink pasta was very good. Alittle salty. Loved my short rib with polenta. Our desserts were outstanding and the decaf espresso was so good! Will certainly go back for the regular menu.

I wish I could give this place 5 plus stars. Absolutely delicious. From the cocktails to each plate. I can’t say enough about the flavors of everything. We started with the ceviche which involved a spicy coconut sauce that made us want to lick the bowl. We chose to go with a pre fixe menu they were doing for the holiday weekend, which isn’t our usual choice, but it really gave us an opportunity to try a variety of dishes. Chef brought a couple of our dishes and what a treat to let him know how amazing everything was that we ate. The masa flavor is just so good! Feels like you are tasting tortillas for the first time. Love what is being served here and we will be back and bringing friends to share this amazing food experience.

Our food was delicious and the service was great. A nice cosy neighborhood restaurant.

Alma Fonda Fina is an absolute standout in Denver! From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, blending modern elegance with the soul of traditional Mexican cuisine. The menu is a love letter to authentic flavors, elevated with a fresh, innovative twist. Every dish we tried was beautifully plated and packed with flavor—think handmade tortillas, rich and complex moles, and perfectly balanced ceviches. The drinks? Just as impressive. Their cocktails are expertly crafted, offering the perfect sip to complement the meal. Get the avocado Marg!! Service was top-notch, with a team that’s not only knowledgeable but passionate about the food they serve.

Food was good, service good as well, no one was there, it was snowing and traffic was horrible, so it was expected. I will go back when weather is better.
