About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
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.

    Was really excited to finally try this place. Food was really great, same for cocktails. Really beautiful menu. The service we had wasn’t great and didn’t ruin the experience but certainly didn’t enhance it. We had questions about the menu (both drink and food) and our questions felt like a bother, by two different staff. A bit pretentious. Coming from the food/bev/hospitality industry, the experience should be about being curious and exploring new flavors and learning about the dishes and drinks and the service shut down the enjoyment of that for us. We eventually just stopped asking.

    Absolutely love this place. The staff is warm and welcoming and the food was incredible. Each dish was fresh and unique, and I left feeling satiated but not overly full. The drinks were amazing- loved the take on a Pina Colada, and the corn sour was so interesting! Can’t wait to come back for a yummy meal soon.

    The chefs Alyssa and Jeremy were so friendly- they made our experience delightful and fun. we even got to meet the head chef Johnny! Highly recommend the chef counter experience and to get to know these wonderful humans! The food they make is truly so tasty too. Felt like a journey and an adventure, so so delicious, no bites were left behind.
