We checked out Hoja for breakfast on a Saturday and loved it. There is a covered, heated patio in the back that is clean, warm in chilly weather, and dog friendly. I ordered a daily special, the Chupa Cabra burrito, made gluten free. (They use 4 corn tortillas in place of the flour wrap.) Kids ordered waffles, and I also got the almond chai. ALL were delicious (the photos don't do it justice.) I ate most of my burrito but left room for a gluten free Tahini Blondie. When we left at 10:15, more customers were heading in for brunch. I can tell this is a neighborhood favorite, especially by their Hall of Fame (dozens of Polaroids up on the wall of local pups). This place is good for a date, or family outing, or just grab and go. I wish we lived closer, we would eat here a bunch! read more

What an amazing, hidden--now found-- gem! Excellent service added with a great ambiance of relaxation and comfort. Kind of hidden in between Duffys and smaller offices, Hoja packs a punch of taste and flavor with authentic Mexican cuisine. Try the Pazole. With hand made Chicharrón and tortilla chips, it is truly a stellar dish. Love to support smaller local businesses and will be returning to Hoja soon. read more

Huge smothered burritos, very good pozole with Chicharrones, and cafe de olla with orange slices! Friendly staffs and cute atmosphere. Loved the vibe in the patio. Will definitely come back when I am around pearl st. Parking was a little hectic around 11am on Friday but plenty of street parking available in 3-5 min walking distance read more

We had a delicious breakfast on their adorable patio this Sunday morning. I had the bean and veggie breakfast burrito, and my fiancé had a chorizo breakfast burrito. The tortillas were so delicious! We both preferred the chorizo burrito and will be back for more! I also loved my coffee, Cafe de Olla (Mexican almond milk latte). Super friendly staff and such a cute spot. read more

We went here on a Sunday around 10:30am and it was quite busy, but we were able to grab a table out on the back patio. We ordered the vegan breakfast burrito and the bacon breakfast burrito with Christmas chili and two horchata negra's. The horchata's were good and the color was really cool, but they were kind of grainy at the bottom and I feel like lost their flavor about halfway through. The bacon burrito was decent, but it was honestly kind of dry which I wouldn't have expected with two types of chili and the tortilla was very flaky. Good reports on the vegan burrito. It came out to $46 for 2 burritos and 2 coffees. read more

Stumbled upon this place walking to my car from an appointment on south pearl street and I'm so happy I did! I was starving so I got a smothered burrito and a spicy Bloody Mary and the food and cocktail were incredible. Service was kind, energy was upbeat and it's in a very cute and walkable area. Parking was easy too. read more

Hoja has an incredible vibe, starting with its charming outdoor patio and super cute seating. The entire aesthetic is spot-on and makes for a perfect morning setting.

HOJA is a wonderful, welcoming restaurant on S. Pearl. I stopped in for lunch after visiting another business in the area and was so happy I did! HOJA specializes in vegan and gluten-free options while offering some traditional dishes with meat. Open for breakfast and lunch, they offer delicious and flavorful food. I was sold when I saw the quality tequila and the New Mexico red chile for sale on the shelf. There is seating inside, but I was somehow led to go to the patio out back and was transported to a little oasis. Red chile ristras hung from poles and hooks, contrasting with the well-cared-for green plants and succulents in terra cotta pots. Fans gently circulated as Spanish music filled the air. When my food was brought to me, it was another visual delight. A colorful salad of cucumber, squash, pumpkin and sesame seeds, flavored with Tajin and lime accompanied by a generous cup filled with Pozole Rojo. The red chile was legit! Made from scratch as advertised. To add to the resort vibe, I had an Iced Carajillo, a nice blend of espresso from their machine and Licor 43. I had such an enjoyable time at lunch, it was like a mini-vacation. Muchísimas gracias, HOJA! read more

HOJA - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This was a lovely spot to grab brunch after yoga in the Washington Park neighborhood. I love this area and old S. Pearl St., and love that it's easily accessible by light rail at the Louisiana Pearl Station. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly hostess at the front. We were offered menus. And place our orders/paid at the front counter and found seats for ourselves in the outside back patio. I was there on a Saturday morning/early afternoon and the restaurant was pretty busy so no seating inside was available. The space is pretty small and indoor seating is limited, but looked very comfortable with a good atmosphere. It was a pretty perfect day when I was there, but I wish there would've been a little bit more shade in the back patio seating. I imagine that in the heat of summer, it would be uncomfortable, They have plastic cups available and a water station that is self service. For my meal, I had a smoked salmon breakfast burrito. It was brought to our table on a plate with silverware but wrapped in foil. The portion size was pretty average too large in siz. The flavor was mostly that of a classic breakfast burrito with potato and the unexpected addition of smoked salmon. I found the combination to be interesting and I enjoy literally anything with smoked salmon. read more

Went here on a Sunday for brunch. Street parking wasn't too bad when we went, but it is South Pearl Street. I imagine it might be harder when the farmer's market is in season. We walked in and the line was right up against the door as the register is right there. It looks small at first, but it opens up to a bright outdoor area in the back. The decor and aesthetic was a modern take on a Mexican style. It was an order at the counter type place. We ordered two carafe's of the pink guava mimosa. That came quickly and it was delicious. The flavors really melded together and it didn't taste too sweet. We ordered the Vegan Burrito and two orders of the Birria Quesadilla. One order of the Quesadillas came first as it was a separate order. There was a decent wait between getting the second and first orders. I had the Birria Quesadilla and it was delicious. It could have been more saucy, but the flavors were there. That one dish filled me up, so I would say the price is decent for the food you get. My partner had the Vegan Burrito, not smothered. It was solid for a burrito, and it was on the larger size. Overall, I will come back. I want to try the Chiles Quilles. The back room was a nice warm retreat from the cold. They also had fans that they turned on when it got a bit too warm. Cute place & good food! read more

Food was flavorful and service was quick! I will for sure be back and will recommend it to visitors

Such a fan of this sun-lit filled spot. Staff is really sweet, and the breakfast burritos and prices can't be beat. It's a little small inside, but there's a great patio for when it's warmer. Loved the lattes, too! If you're lucky you can catch their food truck at the Pearl St. Farmer's Market! read more

Amazing then, Amazing now! Came to Hoja years ago and loved the atmosphere and the food was incredible. Thrilled to report that it hasn't just maintained their warmth and good vibes but totally blew me away with their updates indoors and the food is better than ever. The staff is so welcoming and feels like family. You'll want to stay and keep eating cookies and drinking more coffee. Favorites: farmers burrito, chilaquiles, Matcha latte, and the Cafe de olla Can't wait to come back! read more

Tasted better than it looks but fell apart after two bites :( Definitely not a "handheld" burrito. Maybe try giving the salsa on the side instead of putting it inside so it's not so soggy and can stay together. Overall, it was fine, won't order again though. The vegan banana bread was pretty good though. read more

Amazing smoked salmon burrito! Such a nice idea. Lively atmosphere. Friendly service.

They expanded their menu and specials since we last came! I got the enchiladas and it was so much food for the price with salad rice and beans. They even brought an extra bowl of rice and beans for our toddler. My husband got the carnitas quesadilla and it was delicious too. The drinks are great and the chocolate chip oatmeal cookie was divine. We can't wait to come back and sit on the back patio as the fall weather cools down, thanks for the great service and food!

HOJA - Mezcal margarita - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

TLDR: one of the best restaurants in Denver One of my favorite restaurants in Denver! Everything I have tried here has been amazing - and they have many vegan and gluten free options but not exclusively, so it's a great place to bring friends/family with or without dietary restrictions. it is Mexican inspired with gorgeous decor, and a dog friendly section as well (porch area in warm weather, but in winter they cover the area with transparent walls/roof so you can be warm and still have your sweet pup with you). The matcha latte they make is SO tasty, and they also have cocktails available as well! It's a breakfast/lunch place, so they close around 2 pm. The neighborhood is also very cute and there are lots of boutiques and farmer markets to check out if you're waiting for a table! The staff are amazing and they seem so passionate about the food, their community, and the beautiful restaurant they worked do hard to create. read more

The *vegan burrito* was so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, good. The service was awesome and the ambiance was brilliant.

mmmmm Hoja is so delicious! my go-to is the Farmer's Burrito, but I've had some others and each is better than the next. special shout out to the Jewish apple cake--so yum! the place itself is adorable. I've sat outside and in. the outside is a covered patio that they keep warm when necessary. the inside is small, but totally fine when you find a spot. read more

Got burrritos from the food truck at the farmers market. The burritos weren't labeled as grab and go I assumed they be made fresh. They were small, soggy and sticking to the wrapper. Not worth $12. read more

Lovely small spot with amazing food, drinks, and service. Ordered the farmer's burrito and almond milk chai. I have some food sensitivities and they were incredibly accommodating and kind. They have gluten free and vegan options and modifications. The burrito was outstanding! A nice spice level and I loved all the veggies it came with. The chai was also delicious. One of the staff came to check on me after I finished and asked if everything was good -- it was! Highly recommend! read more

Lovely little place, you could easily miss it walking down the street. We had actually planned to go elsewhere but were in a time crunch and had our dog with us, so we decided to eat here, instead. We were going to sit out front when we were told the back patio was also dog-friendly, had some open seats, and a heater running, so we opted to move and were so pleasantly surprised! It was a nice space, food was great, and our dog got lots of love. We had breakfast burritos and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

Super cute atmosphere and GREAT area! The staff was lovely. The quality of the food isn't great. I don't think it's the cook, they were making beautiful dishes it's just not great food and ingredients. Pretty much anything you can make at home and salt would have been a good addition to the table. This would be nice after a workout in the area if you have the money to drop $25 on breakfast. read more

drinks are better than some of the food, food can be a bit hit or miss, though their vegan options are pretty good. We really like their drinks - they are usually well crafted. Some of the service can be spotty. The woman tending register Sunday 12/8 /24 around 1pm is not friendly or seemingly grateful to have customers, and that's after this place had to shut down during covid and construction along pearl st. How you treat people who have been supporting your business for the past few years should matter. We say thank you as customers and i dont think it's asking much to be treated with a minimum level of respect -in kind. read more

Very vegan friendly restaurant. Pro: creative menu, good chai latte. Cons: space is very small, disorganized ordering system, no regulation with pets. Honestly should probably be reported to the health department for how many dogs they allowed on the back seating area. Was very unsafe, unhygienic, and disruptive. They need to do some source control. Will not return. read more
