Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in Arvada

Hands down one of the best meals i’ve had in Denver. Sat at the chefs counter and enjoyed every second. Food was timed perfectly, music was good, recommendations from the servers was spot on, but overall it was yet another lovely worth every penny meal, that was inspired and delicious. So excited to go back and try everything we didn’t try this round.

The service was exceptionally fast and the food was great. We all enjoyed our items and beverages. Good choice for a casual dinner in a great location, near Larimer

Shawn and Mike, thank you for making my boyfriend and I’s first experience at Alma Fonda wonderful. Mike was very attentive and very informed about the menu. We were blown away by how much flavor each dish had, portions were most definitely perfect for sharing. We LOVED the halibut and the scallops and couldn’t stop talking about the food after we left. Shawn, thank you for being so kind and remembering that I called ahead to take care of the drinks for my table. Thank you again, you will see us again soon and I have already recommended you guys to a few of my friends!

Some of the best tacos I’ve had outside of Mexico. All the meats are smoked in-house, plus lard tortillas… what else can I say.

Our ramales-making cooking group of 6 really enjoyed our reunion at Sunday brunch at El Jefe. We excited with the heat of the guacamole, and the new-to-us Xni Pec salsa. The dishes we ordered were colorful and satisfying with authentic succulent carnitas, outstanding potatoes, delicious hue is rancheros. The service was great—just the right amount of attention. We love the decor and the Sunnyside neighborhood. We’re already talking about when we can return to try the dinner menu with its great variety!
