Sausage and eggs .. very good
Chad W.

This is a gem hole in the wall. Super friendly staff and nice and clean and simply rad!!! Awesome food ! The green chili is bomb! And the hot chili oil is amazing! Would eat here often if I lived in Denver.

This cafe has been around for a long, long time. The original owners sold it back in 2020 and it's a Mexican restaurant that offers breakfast and coffee now. Most of the menu stuff listed here on Yelp is outdated (don't go searching for the formerly famous blueberry French toast- sorry it's gone!). I took pictures of the new menu for everyone to see. I had a smothered breakfast burrito and they were so kind to put the chicharrones in it for me that were listed on the back page! It was phenomenal! I had it Christmas style and the chili did not disappoint. We were greeted very nicely upon entering and they brought us chips, salsa and water immediately. The staff seems to work really well as a team and it's a very pleasant environment. Both the ladies working today are super kind and friendly! The handheld burritos Togo are only $5 you can't beat that! They have nearly every flavor of Jarritos I've ever heard of, 2/$5 Redbulls and Rockstars, and a stellar selection of hot sauces!! Even though it wasn't the cafe I remembered- it was super delicious and an overall great experience! Happy we came here and we will be happy to return as well!

Server was wonderful and super sweet! food was absolutely outstanding, gave me a taste of back home while here on vacation. felt like a cute little diner with music playing in the background, i loved the mexican pride all over. 10/10, marking this one on the map to come again the next time i'm visiting!

Chicken street tacos

These are the best street tacos I've had in Denver. Juicy, fresh, full of flavor. You cannot go wrong here. Although this cafe has been here many years, after I moved to the area a few months ago I knew I had to try it...and boy did I treat myself! The service was incredible. I walked in around 2:30 PM on a Wednesday afternoon and I didn't think much about the hours. But I was promptly greeted and asked what I'd like to order. It took me a few minutes, but I did realize that they were closing in about 30 minutes. I didn't feel rushed, but I did go ahead and order out of courtesy And my food came out within 5 to 10 minutes This place closes early so be sure to get there early, as they close at 3. It's a relaxing cafe vibe nothing fancy. The food speaks for itself. These street tacos have everything you are looking for greasy flavorful, juicy full flavored tons of toppings and just delicious. This will definitely be a regular joint as long as I live in this part of downtown.

In town for a conference, hotel doesn't offer breakfast until 7am and it's 6am and I'm hungry. To my surprise, the only option is Starbucks (heck no!). So I Google, walk 15 minutes and find this gem. Do not judge a book by its cover. Nothing to write home about. I sat myself at a table and the staff came with the menu. First things first. Coffee and water. The menu offers were so Mexican and I mean that in a positive way. Yum, yum, yum! Didn't know what to order so I went with a Denver omelette, Mexican style. Huge portion, sauce in a bowl, bread in aluminum foil. Look at the pics to see what I'm talking about. Coffee was on point and the mug was unique. I consider the price relatively cheap. I'm from NYC, so this would be $25+ without the pro staff, portion and quality. Highly recommended and support a local business punching up to its competitors.

My burger and fries  Yum
Chris P.

What a really special place downtown. Food is so good. I love their cheeseburger and fries. But you know what I love even more? The guy that waits on us. Always smiling, always positive, anticipates your needs. The restaurant is small. Really clean. Great prices. Very cool chill vibe

I really liked my shredded beef chimichanga, I thought it was a perfect portion especially for the price.
Johana M.

Great and quick service! Really friendly staff and felt welcomed right away. I like the small and homey ambiance so it doesn't feel too overwhelming. Enjoyed my meal and left with a happy tummy.

It had an amazing texture, incredible depth of flavor, and that perfect balance of tanginess and freshness that made it unforgettable. It's the kind of detail that takes a meal from great to exceptional. The entire experience was outstanding, from the quality of the food to the overall atmosphere. You can really taste the craftsmanship and care that goes into every dish. If you're looking for an elevated Mexican dining experience, Alma Fonda Fina is a must-visit. And seriously, don't leave without trying the sourdough tortilla! One of the most memorable bites I've had in a long time. Absolutely deserving of all the praise!

The vibes were very cozy and the decor on the inside and dress code of the staff made the food live up to its expectation. If you haven't yet I'd highly recommend this place even if you need to make a reservation months in advance.

We had the green chile plate and the five taco platter with bison and lengua, with guacamole on top. My only quibble is that the bison needed more seasoning, it was a bit gamey like hamburger meat. The guac serving was generous and the corn tortillas were good. The chile was the best version of this dish that I've had. The staff were extremely attentive and kept our water full in the 90 degree heat. Food came out super fast. Price was very reasonable for the area.

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable. The inside, though a little bit tiny and no cozier than going to your mom's house and expecting a family Filled living room/Kitchen. We went down and greeted by three smiling faces. We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!! Definitely a place to sit and eat there to enjoy the hot food. I'm originally from SoCal and a heavily populated Latinos with amazing tacos and food.. Taqueria La Familia passed the bar high!! We can't wait to come back and try other options and will update pictures and review then!

Hubs and I dropped in for HH and an early dinner on Saturday (since PP continues the everyday HH tradition) and started off with the house margs and chips and salsa. The chips could be a tad salty with the seasoning added, but I still gobbled them up. The creamy green salsa is delicious! The margs are really tasty too and we had another round! We also tried the carne asada and pastor torta sliders (carne asada is better- but I don't know that I'd get either one again), the pastor tacos (very good!), the elote corn dip (delicious), and the nachos with carne asada. Their carne asada is quite tasty and the nachos had a fair amount of toppings for HH. I'd definitely return here for more HH and other treats.

I grabbed a seat at the bar where the bartender was friendly and engaging. On a recent Wednesday at 7:15, the restaurant was packed. When I left around 8:30, it was still busy. That's usually the best review a restaurant can get. Loyal customers don't keep coming back out of habit. They come back because it feels like home. The all-day happy hour margarita for $9 certainly doesn't hurt. The second one arrives before you've had time to argue yourself out of it. I ordered the enchiladas with carne asada and their house mole. If you're expecting one of those intensely complex moles with enough ingredients to fill a pantry, this isn't that. Adelitas' version is comforting, approachable, and deeply homey. It tastes less like a culinary experiment and more like something your abuela has been making for decades. The carne asada was tender, the rice and beans were exactly what they should be, and every bite reminded me why comfort food never goes out of style. Before leaving, I made the smartest decision of the evening. Tres leches to go. I devoured it later at home while Netflix asked if I was still watching. The cake somehow manages to be light while completely satisfying. Don't skip it. Better yet, don't pretend you're saving it for tomorrow. Adelitas isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you well, welcome you warmly, and send you home happier than when you arrived. Whether your abuela was Mexican...or Greek...you'll understand exactly what they're serving here.
