    Everything from the service, drinks, and food was amazing. We had a hard time deciding what to order as everything on the menu was attractive. I cant eat scallops, but my wife said the were amazing. The roasted sweet potatoes far exceeded my expectations, they were absolutely delicious. The Tres Leche cake was a unique twist on a classic, and was sublime. We will definitely be going back. It was my birthday and our server brought us a nice brut sparkling wine from Mexico, with our dessert.

    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.

    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.
