   Found Alma Fonda Fina while in town on business. Wanted something more modern and refined. Looked up James Beard Award restaurants in Colorado. Restaurant did not disappoint. The Tostada de Atun was probably the best thing I have ever ate in my life. If you like Crudo or Raw Tuna, this is absolutely a must. We arrived right before happy hour ended (4:45pm), so we had the privilege of ordering a round of Tacos De Asada and Classic Margaritas at a great price. Also ordered tacos de Barbacoa and Tacos de Carintas. Both were good but between the 3 tacos, carnitas were slightly better because the short ribs were slightly under seasoned. As I write this, I can still remember how amazing the Tostada de Atun was. Service was very efficient and professional. Changed out my utensils after each round of dishes. The servers were very knowledgeable of each dish by describing each dish as they were delivered at our table. Definitely a great spot for a meal or an elegant dinner.

   I can’t stop thinking about our meal. From the avocado margarita to the sweet potato with whipped ricotta with chili crunch, this place knocked my socks off. Can’t wait to go back.

   Everything about this restaurant was outstanding. The service was definitely top notch, friendly experience staff, all very attentive and knowledgeable about each dish. We ordered almost every item on the menu, intending to sample everything but are every last bit of each dish. Everything was my favorite, extremely fresh, nothing was overbearing with too much flavor, extremely well balanced and very reasonably priced. Definitely a must try, worth the wait in making reservations. You won’t regret it. Fantastic dining experience.

   Wow, what an exceptional experience. The food, service and atmosphere was incredible. For a Michelin star restaurant the casual atmosphere was refreshing with a nice background soundtrack that allowed easy conversation with pleasant undertones. Now onto the most important topic, THE FOOD. I've been to several Michelin restaurants (my Favorite indulgence) and none have been so affordable. Yes a little pricey for a normal restaurant but this place is anything but normal. We had the Tostada De Atun (Applewood Smoked Tuna / Smashed Avocado / Chicatana Mayonnaise / Salsa Macha) it was a triumph , it paired with fresh Tuna that tasted like it was caught minutes earlier (not possible in Colorado) the Salsa macha was to die for and we thought it can't get any better than this! We were WRONG , as we also ordered the Callo De Hacha Al Horno (Maine Diver Scallops / Serrano Ponzu / Tomato Butter / Chives). I'll be dreaming about the flavor profile in each exquisite small spoon bite I enjoyed. The combination of flavors was masterful and if you only get one thing when visiting, THIS is it. It deserves a Michelin star by itself and likely is the reason this place earned one. We also ordered the Camote Asado, we both thought it was tasty but compared to the other items I would pass next time. Next we had the Enmoladas De Pollo which was very tasty, if I had only tried this I would still recommend this place however after having the previous item, it brought us down to earth to an amazing dish that couldn't outshine the former. Lastly, we finished the night with Birria de Borrego, one of my favorite dishes and although my partner doesn't like lamb, she admitted this was very tasty as well. I can't wait to come back and plan to make Alma Fonda an indulgence whenever our wallets allow such a treat. Without drinks we would have departed for less than $130 but we had drinks without regret so our tab was about $175 before tip. As a foodie, worth every penny!

   Wow!! We had a LOVELY dinner with dear friends. The food was phenomenal, and kept getting better and better as the meal went on. Classic marg was delish, the sweet potato is a must, and the scallops were the best my husband has ever had. Thank you, Alma Fonda, for a wonderful meal!

   Best restaurant in Denver! If you can get a reservation you will not be disappointed. The chef’s table (basically the bar) was delightful. We just left and I am immediately looking for another reservation.

    This was my 2nd time at Alma Fonda Fina and it was exactly what I remember - delicious. There is absolutely nothing that comes close.
