We had a wonderful evening at La Chiva! The food and drinks were both delicious, and everything we…read moretried was full of flavor. There were four of us, so we shared several different dishes, which was the perfect way to experience the menu. Every single plate was a hit! We chose to sit on the back patio, and it couldn't have been a more perfect evening. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it easy to linger over great food, drinks, and conversation. If you're looking for authentic Colombian food, tasty cocktails, and a great patio vibe, La Chiva is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back!

Music good sound level. Staff was very attentive and friendly. FYI closed on Monday and check the open times. Saturday opened at noon. Not a problem because there is a lot to see antique wise if you get there early. Had the empanada appetizer and got 5 different ones. Arepa Andina is super flavorful. Pabellon La Chiva was enough to feed two people unless you are very hungry.

The latte was a perfect blend of coffee and frothy milk, sprinkled with cinnamon powder. The pastel de guava paired well with my latte. The bread was warm and soft, and the center was filled with the slightly sweet guava. I stopped in for an afternoon coffee. With it being my first time in, I walked in about 10 minutes to close. I try not to do drop in so close to closing time so I asked if it was okay that I order. The staff were welcoming and friendly and I didn't feel rushed at all. The cafe has a nice selection of pasteles & breads, offering both savory and sweet options. It's a small cafe but a very cozy place to enjoy a coffee and a snack. With so many different choices, I cannot wait to go back.

Very solid Colombian Cafe.

I think it's actually the only place in Denver with Huevos Pericos! It's a cute little storefont, and the employees are very nice. There's also naturally a lot of gluten free options because Colombian menus aren't as gluten heavy. (I'm not sure that it would be free of cross contaminates though).

I've definitely ordered from Arepas House many times over the years but somehow only wrote a review…read morejust now! It's one of my go-to spots when I'm at Edgewater Public Market, and I feel like it's one of the longer-standing food stalls. I love the variety of items they have on their menu without being too overwhelming. My favorite thing to get is the Pabellon Arepa, filled to the brim with black beans, shredded beef, fried plaintains, avocado, cheese, and Guasacaca sauce. Deliciously fresh and flavorful. In the future I need to try their Patacon. I love that they have pictures of everything on their menu. Check it out if you haven't already!

It was the second of our five stops as part of our Downtown Denver Food Tour, and it was amazing…read more The Empanadas were flaky, flavorful, and so delicious. The chimichurri sauce added so much to the taste. This Argentinian Empanadas restaurant was started by two brothers who didn't see their homeland empanadas in Denver so started their own just when Covid hit and survived, a testament to how good they are. The place is not very big with less than a dozen tables, but it seems the bulk of their business is to-go anyway.

The exterior draws you in with its abundance of plants and charming decor, but the real surprise comes when you're seated and realize just how deep the restaurant runs. There are so many uniquely decorated rooms, each with its own character. Whoever handled the interior design absolutely nailed it! As you settle in, you can't help but wonder if this is what dining in Cuba might feel like. The atmosphere is warm, colorful, and full of personality, making the experience about more than just the food. It feels like stepping into another place entirely. As for the food, we ordered the skirt steak and pulled pork entrées, empanadas, plantains, and yuca fries. There's too much to expand on each dish individually, but everything was mindfully plated and beautifully presented. And the portions? Generous! Come hungry. Between the inviting atmosphere, thoughtful presentation, and generous servings, Cuba Cuba is absolutely worth checking out if you're in downtown Denver!

My photo doesn't do it justice. It's packed with black beans, caramelized plantains, and lots of avocado. It was hearty & very satisfying. There's plenty of seating, both indoor & outdoor.

The combination of the stewed beef with the sweetness of the plantains was amazing, and it was clearly made with quality ingredients and lots of care. We'd gotten the arepa to split as an afternoon snack, but it was stuffed generously and quite large, so it was more filling than I'd expected. If I lived in Denver, I'd be back here constantly!

They both took business cards so they could recommend it to other Venezuelans. I had the lunch plate with the rajas (chile poblano, sour cream and cheese) empanada and it was really tasty! The service was excellent and the food came out faster than expected. I also want to thank the owner and her family who generously donated food and time to our immigrant population from Venezuela on Thanksgiving (& possibly other times as well). I highly recommend supporting this local business who gives back to the community.

I also ordered a mango and it was delicious! The lady who took my order promptly acknowledged me and my little one and was quick to make my order. Great friendly service I'll say! I plan to return another day when I have a bigger appetite and will try the Venezuelan breakfast or dinner. I don't think they have central AC (a portable fan was running) and It was a little warm and stuffy inside so perhaps a chilly fall day would be more comfortable as well :)
