I found this place when we were looking for a place that had whole fish on the menu. We came in and decided to go the traditional Mexican route. My guy got the enchiladas and I got the chicken burrito special. It was huge. I was hungry so I ate most of it! The service was quick and friendly. The inside of the restaurant is very unique. We will be coming back for the fish!

Food is always good, sometimes the wait is long (30-45 minutes), the wait is worth it though. I would recommend the carne asada burrito for first timers, definitely a great choice. the chili cheese fries are a great choice as well, always a go to. The ambiance is so welcoming, don't forget to tip!

Decent Mexican restaurant. Enjoyed my lunch special with Chile relleno, beef burrito and cheese enchilada- 13.95. The nachos come as individual chips already loaded with toppings- 12.95. Chips were a bit soggy. Mexican soup was filled with large pieces of chicken. Loved the green Chile sauce on my combo. Loved the interior and Mexican music.

Asada lunch special.

Great lunch specials, margaritas, salsa, and never really been disappointed with anything I've gotten here.

Small margarita

Was recommended to try this place out and I was not disappointed. I wish I could do 3.5 stars. To me 3 stars is good and 4 is great. They have plenty of parking- so don't worry about street parking. We were sat in the front of the room, when I had to use the restroom, I had no idea how big this place is. The bar seemed to be more of a vibe. They had huge tvs everywhere to watch the games and enjoy dinner. The host was very welcoming and sweet girls. Our server was good, he was attentive. Only thing is I wished was he told us the Molcajete was a big portion of- enough for us to share, because I would of loved to get an appetizer or a different entree to try as well. They have a an extensive menu, lots to chose from. When we were leaving I did read a sign that the molcajete are made for 2. But it's okay just meant we had leftovers for the next day. For the entree it was good, I do wish there was more of the sauce in the bowl. Besides that, no complaint. The small margarita I ordered was a decent size for a small. And they are not stingy on the alcohol, I had a nice buzzed after dinner which is the best feeling. I def would come back for this meal or to try other dishes.

See all

It was the best vegetarian burrito I have ever had! The waitress was prompt and meal was brought out within a good time.

Alma Fonda Fina - Birria De Borrego

Alma Fonda Fina

Northwest, Highland

Overall: Alma Fonda Fina lives up to its hype. It serves delicious elevated Mexican food and is…read morereasonably priced for a Michelin star restaurant. This is the Michelin restaurant that you go to if you like a more casual / less stuffy experience. Food: 4 Every dish that we ordered was delicious, but slightly on the heavy side without anything light/acidic to break it up. Perhaps it's because of what we chose to order though! Frijoles Puerco: This was a play on refried beans and chorizo. The chorizo has a little kick to it. The sourdough tortillas were delicious and served fresh and warm. Callo De Hacha Al Horno: The scallops were a flavor bomb served in a serrano ponzu and tomato butter. I'm unsure why the scallops were cut into smaller pieces instead of left whole... Enmoladas De Pollo: This was essentially chicken enchiladas cooked in mole so I was skeptical if I would find this dish worthwhile. They proved me wrong as this was one of the best dishes of the night. The mole was flavorful, not too heavy, and the chicken enchilada was so well cooked. Birria De Borrego: The lamb shank was cooked until it was fork tender. After taking it apart, wrap it in a fresh and warm tortilla with refried corn beans and salsa. The lamb was well cooked and made for a good balanced bite, but it did feel special. Service: 5 We set at the chef table and was able to watch as they finished and plated each dish. The chef was attentive without being overbearing/annoying and we had a good conversation with him. Food came out at a good pace. Ambiance: 5 The restaurant is small and cozy. It didn't feel stifling or pretentious as other fine dining restaurants can sometimes feel. This would be perfect for a date or dinner with friends.

Waited 60 days for this reservation, and even still, I could only get in at 9pm on a Monday…read more BUT, I will say, I thought it was worth the wait. Others in my party might not have felt that way. But nonetheless they enjoyed the entire experience. It felt like everything we ate (at first) was pretty spicy. But by the end, the spice level was coming down. Some of the highlights, the sweet potato, the sourdough tortilla with the chorizo burrito. The scallops. The cod. The birria. The mushroom quesadilla. So, pretty much all of it! I enjoyed everything that I ate! I'm interested to come back for happy hour, since they have a few different plates on that menu. For dinner, I'll keep it reserved for special occasions. Try and get a reservation, I think you'll enjoy yourself, if you appreciate craft cuisine. Good job, Alma Fonda Fina Team!

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!

Ni tuyo means not yours. Experience ni tuyo. Pork belly tacos were insanely good. Also the rib molcajete. Those two items stood out. They feature original cocktails, thoughtfully invented. Some of them blow my mind, some of them I didn't think worked very well for my preference, but all of them were unique. I value this uniqueness. Don't get for about mezcal Wednesdays. A great way to leave your comfort zone and try whatever they are featuring for a reduced price. Their variety of curated mezcal is a great way to start and make progress on your mezcal journey. There is such a variety of mezcal that I believe there is something for almost everyone. Put your trust in their bartenders to guide you on the different styles and flavors. And finally, they are a huge part of the Colorado agave collective. Monthly agave tasting. The best way to learn and appreciate.

For the price, we didn't get very much guacamole but it was good, as was the elote! The pork belly tacos were very good but the tortillas were too small for the amount of filling.

We walked in to find it pretty well occupied around noon, but still with some empty tables. We were seated right away. The decor was lovely. It was primarily natural, earthy tones, with succulents, and a big pop of color with bright murals above the bar, creating a warm glow. I was vaguely familiar with Chef Richard Sandoval due to his brief appearance on Top Chef, but didn't know too much about his cuisine. The brunch has a really fun and original idea in that you can order bottomless small plates for $42 per person or bottomless food and drinks for $59 in person, with a two-hour limit. I would have loved to try that, but we had a lot of plans that day so opted for the à la carte menu. I chose a mimosa and my friend chose a michelada. for our drinks We shared the ceviche. I ordered the chicken tinga enchiladas, while my friend ordered the fish tacos. We shared all of the food. The ceviche was excellent, flavorful and fresh. I enjoyed the enchiladas. The portion was generous. I wasn't too fond of the tacos. There was nothing wrong with them, aside from the fact that I don't like breaded fish, but they just didn't have a ton of flavor. I will say service started strong, but then fell off a bit. Our server and food runner were friendly, but it was hard to get extra utensils when we needed them. All in all, it was a great brunch spot. If I were in town again, I would definitely be tempted to try the bottomless brunch.

My favorite dish was probably the Bonito Guacamole. It was hard to tell from looking at the menu what was guacamole and what was salsa, based on the header. We shared the Quesabirria and got our own tacos. I ordered Carne Asada. I did like the Quesabirria but found the Asada to be tough and dry. That's unfortunate. We didn't have room for dessert, but the margaritas were decent. I'm curious about a few other things on their menu so might try again - especially for happy hour!
