Myrna S.

we were in the area with not a lot of time and decided to try this place for a quick bite. It is fantastic! We both had a couple of tacos which were all delicious: 2 chicken, 1 shrimp and 1 fish. All of them were GF except the fish, due to the fish being breaded. The tortillas are deep fried which help them to hold together perfectly. The shrimp and chicken were both perfectly cooked and really flavorful. the cheese in all of them was delicious and gooey. They have a pretty big menu and we saw lots of delicious looking dishes floating by. Lots of vegetarian options too. (including potato tacos of which we ordered 2 to go and they were very well received). The service was great and very friendly. We will be back. Yum. The ambiance is nothing fancy but who cares when the food is so good!

Pretty mid overall

Food wasn't very good staff was friendly salsa was good chips were stale steak tasted like dirt

Amazing! Perfection! Located in a strip mall in Northglenn. It's a small little shop, but has several tables and a bar that can seat 8. It's not just good, it's terrific. Shrimp tacos are a must to order here. I don't know how they do it, but the tacos are just indescribably good. Carna asada tacos are also a great choice that pair well with the chips and salsa--homemade of course. I didn't order my own drink, but had a taste of my friend's. I can attest to the statement that yes, the drinks are good and very well concocted. Our server was new and was very sweet and attentive. Will 100% go back for another hit of great food!

Yummy food, nice service, cool atmosphere- well definitely visit again next time we're up north. I had a jicama aguas frescas. It was perfect- not too sweet and extremely refreshing. My husband had a beer (he was going to order a large but noticed that the small is cheaper if you're planning to get 2 or more). We split the chicken fajitas. They were on the smaller side but it was a good amount of food for both of us to eat without leftovers or overeating. The chips and salsa were good too- warm chips and spicy-ish salsa.

Mi Viejo Margarita

What a little gem in Northglenn! From the personable service to the handcrafted cocktails to the delicious variety of tacos--run, don't walk to Itacate. Located in a strip mall off 104th Ave, this place is easy to miss. A bright neon sign, "Canta y No Llores," lets you know you will be taken care of. The Mi Viejo Margarita was perfect. You can alter the sweetness to your preference, and it is made to order with blanco tequila, Grand Marnier, and freshly squeezed lime. The salsa with the chips is full of flavor and the perfect consistency to adorn your chips. Tacos--yum! I tried the birria and the fish taco. Both were excellent with amazing spices. I wish it were closer, but I will definitely return.

Still love the decor, and the service was very friendly and on top of it today during a weekday lunch! They even split the burrito on two plates so we could easily share it. We got the cochi-burrito. It was a huge burrito filled with cochinital pibil, similar to the tacos we had last time. Be warned, it is spicy! So spicy it made my nose run, but you could still taste all the seasonings, including something that tasted a little like bbq. It was served with a green creamy salsa and a chipotle creamy salsa- both excellent. This is not the cheapest place in the area, but it is the most delicious by far. Highly highly recommend.

The food is amazing. Service is excellent. Ingredients are so fresh. I wish I lived closer because this would be me regular place.

Chicken fajita plate

The decor is nice when you walk in and there's a lot of seating in a small space, but it still didn't feel crowded. Our waitress was really nice. They had a pretty good selection for the menu. I got the Alambres and it was tasty. My friend got the chicken fajitas. They actually seem like the same dish except for different meat. But both were good as she let me try hers. Prices were OK and not too expensive. I also got an Horchata and they serve it in a huge class so you definitely get enough to drink.

Ever since moving to Denver, Alma Fonda Fina has been at the top of my restaurant bucket list. I…read morefinally managed to get a reservation (booked exactly 60 days in advance when they opened), and it was absolutely worth the wait. Having that much time before our reservation also meant I got to thoroughly research the menu, which definitely paid off. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It's small, intimate, and has a modern aesthetic. There isn't a ton of seating, but that's part of the charm. There's patio seating along the railing outside, bar seating where you can watch the chefs work their magic in the open kitchen, and just a handful of tables inside. Parking is street parking in the surrounding neighborhood, and from what it looked like, most of it is paid. It was just me and a friend, and we shared four dishes, which ended up being the perfect amount of food. We started with the Callo de Hacha al Horno, and these were hands down the best scallops I've ever had. The presentation alone was gorgeous, with the scallops served in their shell, but the flavor completely stole the show. I'm a huge seafood fan, and this dish absolutely delivered. My friend isn't even much of a seafood person, and it was his first time trying scallops and he loved them too. I joked that he may have ruined scallops for himself because it's hard to imagine finding a better version. Next, we each ordered a Taco Campechano, and wow. This was either the best or second-best taco I've ever had. The taco features two different meats with a green salsa on one half and a red salsa on the other, making every bite a little different. Both sides were fantastic, but the green salsa was next level. At around $11, this feels like one of the best values on the menu and is an absolute must-order. Our third dish was the Birria de Borrego, and it was incredible. The lamb shank was so tender that the bone slid right out with almost no effort. It comes with beans, salsa, and house-made blue corn tortillas so you can build your own tacos. Speaking of the tortillas--they deserve their own praise. They were phenomenal, and we honestly joked about asking for an order to take home. Our final dish was the Camote Asado, which I'd seen recommended all over the internet. Maybe I built it up too much in my head because it ended up being the only dish that didn't blow me away. Don't get me wrong, it was still very good. The sweet potato was perfectly cooked, and the fennel whipped requesón was delicious. My only heads-up for future diners is that some bites pack a surprising amount of heat, so if you're sensitive to spice, keep that in mind. I enjoy spicy food, but it's worth mentioning for those who don't! The service was excellent as well. They take your entire order at the beginning of the meal and then thoughtfully pace each course, which made the whole dining experience feel relaxed and intentional. One thing that really surprised me was the value. For a Michelin-starred restaurant, this was incredibly affordable. We ordered four courses between the two of us, and even after tip, our total was only around $120 (we didn't order cocktails). That's an exceptional value for the quality of food and overall experience! Overall, Alma Fonda Fina completely lived up to the hype. Between the incredible execution, creative flavors, intimate atmosphere, and surprisingly reasonable pricing, this has quickly become one of my all-time favorite restaurants. It's easy to see why reservations are so hard to get, and I'll absolutely be back. Next time, I'm hoping to grab a seat at the chef's counter to watch the team in action while working my way through even more of the menu.

2nd time and still my current #1 restaurant in denver. Food…read moreand service are both just fantastic. Took my parents this time for lunch. We shared 6 plates and we all loved it. The sweet potato still my favorite dish, but I hand to day the queso funfido from the happy hour menu was a close 2nd. If you go 2-5pm, I can't recommend this enough. You have to get it. Same as my 1st time going, I love this restaurant for their great dishes and flavor profiles. I absolutely feel like I'm paying for the food, and not any atmosphere or showsmenship, which for me is an important factor when recommending a restaurant. Only small detail, we got the ceviche as our 4th dish. Given that is sweet due to the coconut milk, I feel this should have been last as a kind-of desert-like dish. Either way, still an absolute gem and must in town

We went on…read moretaco Tuesday and had no problem getting bar seating (or there were a few tables available) around 5pm but I noticed after 6pm people were waiting for seating. The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar. The bartender was great and made a solid marg ($8 on happy hour). You get a great deal on taco Tuesday but I'm sure you'd get great service and quality any day of the week!

Good meal but a lot of work and hassle!…read more Very limited parking. Left side of the building are a few parking spots shared by several businesses. Good luck getting a spot. Then you are driving the neighborhood hoping to find a spot. Finally parked and walked to the restaurant. Host told me it would be 30 minutes but the actual wait was 50 minutes. Spend so much time parking and then waiting, at what point do you give up and leave empty handed? Restaurant is VERY LOUD. Finally got a table and ordered OFF MENU. Server agreed to substitute shrimp for my enchiladas and they were good! Fresh corn tortillas were the highlight. Ordered tres leches cake and enjoyed it too. Was a nice meal but just not worth all the hassle.

There is an al a cart option but I went full send and tasted almost the whole menu with my party. There are some things for the masses (taquitos) which I agree are good and hit the mark for people a little less food experiences, but there are risk that are worth the reward with the jack fruit tacos (pairs great with a margarita, also included with drinks). Jordan our server and Brien the manager were bringing the A game of service to the Sunday morning. Was I out of place in my pre-baseball game day jersey? Not at all. But I also would have fit in had I picked a sport coat instead. Pound for pound the best premium brunch I have had in a long long time. Grab a drink and get your brunch on!!!!

But this was Monday evening and we were seated immediately. Our server said that we had 5 minutes left for Happy Hours--thank you!!--so ordered Caliente Margaritas and appetizers. The nachos were delicious--and messy! The Margaritas were as well. I had a nonalcoholic Athletic Brewing Company Cerveza Atletica (Mexican style copper).

We had arrived just in time for Happy Hour- Monday-Friday, 3-5pm . Perdida has a worthwhile Happy Hour as several main menu appetizers as well as cocktails are discounted.

These were tasty and the dipping sauce paired well with the chilies and cheese. Perdida was good. I think I'll revisit to try some main dishes. The fajitas smelled amazing!
