Chef Johnny Curiel debuts Mezcaleria Alma in Denver’s LoHi neighborhood, bringing the dynamic spirit of Mexico City to life with CDMX-inspired small plates and an expansive Mexican spirits menu. Located beside Curiel’s first solo restaurant, Alma Fonda Fina, Mezcaleria Alma marks the natural next chapter in Curiel’s culinary journey to share the beauty of Mexico through food. Each dish and drink draws from Curiel’s experiences in one of the world’s most renowned culinary capitals—a city where culture and tradition merge with global inspiration and constant innovation.

While Alma Fonda Fina is a love letter to the home-cooked traditions of Chef Curiel’s childhood—the comfort food found at traditional fondas across Mexico—Mezcaleria Alma embodies the unbridled innovation that defines CDMX.

    Multiple dates available
    In keeping with the spirit of a traditional mezcaleria found in Mexico City, the elongated, plush banquette anchors each table inviting guests to sink in and relax. Every corner of the dining room reveals treasures from Johnny’s travels, paired with captivating art like intricate Mexican embroidery that sparks conversation. At the heart of the space is a captivating mural on traditional bark paper by local Latinx artist Maria Morante, a powerful homage to Mexican folk art.

    One of the top meals in Denver. The sea urchin aguachile was one of the best bites I’ve had in a while.

    Having been to Alma Fonda Fina and felt that this was the best meal I'd had in Denver, I was truly excited to dine at Mezcaleria Alma. It exceeded my expectations - the services was exactly as it was at Alma Fonda Fina - warm, attentive, and on par with other Michelin Star experiences. The drinks were exceptional, and the food was sublime. I can't wait to come back and experience this again - it was truly delightful and felt so special! I highly recommend!!

    Wasn’t the same as the first time . The burrita tortilla was doughy , the Toro tostada was not good , the pork with the roja mole was soggy ,the highlight was the taco. The wine and mezcal were the other positives .

    We have been to Alma Fonda Fina and fell in love with their food, so we thought we'd give their Mezcaleria Alma a try. Every dish we ordered was absolutely fantastic, unique, and honestly a work of art. The service is incredible and the ambience feels authentic to Mexico City. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone, as it is our new favorite restaurant in the neighborhood!

    Spur of the moment decision to come here following a disappointing experience at Beckon the night before, and I was delightfully surprised. The flavors in each dish were excellent - bold and flavorful but well balanced. Their homemade chili oil and hot sauce were amazing. The sous chef worked at Alma Fonda Fina before moving over to open Mezcaleria, and she definitely brought over that fine dining level of detail to the plating. Cocktails were reasonably priced and delicious (their spin on a negroni is fantastic, and the beet spritz was great). Service was excellent at the chef’s counter - interactive, friendly, perfectly paced. I was running a few minutes late, and received a friendly text to let them know if I was on my way, which was much more convenient than calling. Upon arrival, they greeted me by name. It’s not fine dining, but definitely gives fine dining vibes through the quality of both the food and service. I strongly recommend and will absolutely return in the future.
