On a mission to share the beauty of Mexican culture through food, Chef Johnny Curiel opens Cozobi Fonda Fina as an encore to his beloved LoHi restaurant, Alma Fonda Fina. Named after Cozobi, the Zapotec god of corn, Cozobi Fonda Fina is rooted in Mexico’s centuries-old corn nixtamalization traditions and wood-fire cooking techniques that define its rich food history.

    That tuna tostada may be the most delicious tuna we have ever eaten! Every dish was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. The drinks were perfectly crafted too. I would highly recommend anyone enjoy a meal at Cozobi.

    Amazing experience at the chefs counter. We sampled 6 different dishes and each one as unique and delicious. The service was incredible, multiple people helped us and chatted with us. Not to be missed!

    Another note-worthy meal in all respects. Guacamole to start, scallops, and pork shank with the don’t miss sweet potatoes. Chef’s table is always enjoyable because chefs are so eager to advise on selections and observing preparation adds an element to entire experience. Can’t understand how CFF can do what they do for what seems to be such a moderate price. No other restaurant in Boulder even comes close.

    Excellent service, but I went for the Wood Fired Chicken which they removed from the menu. Although the food is tasty, I choose restaurants for particular dishes. So it will likely be. while until I return.
