Lady Nomada is a such a great value and offers the CUTEST atmosphere--perfect for a girls night or date. The happy hour deals are amazing...$4 margaritas?! I'm there! My favorite dish is the ceviche. It is a really large portion that can be shared as an appetizer between 4-6 people. For more Denver restaurant reviews, visit my blog thatboujeebohemian.com.

Yes Lady Nomada ! Food and drinks were delicious ! The energy was real chill and they had a live musician singing covers from Bob Marly to Bob Dylan . We had to wait briefly because we didn't make reservations but not very long , considering they had a full house - 20 mins or so. The fish tacos were so good and they make a queso dip with cilantro and a bunch of other stuff which was so tasty ! I'm not a huge cheese lover and I throughly enjoyed it (we added chicken) The ambiance, food, entertainment, service granted a 5 star review from me . Its so hard to find good food out here , glad I found a dope lil mexican spot . read more

I had heard about Lady Nomada opening in Arvada and was excited to check it out. While we had a nice time, I'd like to see a few kinks worked out before returning. We arrived before 5pm on a Saturday evening without a reservation. We knew we'd likely have to wait, which was fine, but there seemed to be a lot of confusion among the staff as to where to put our party of three. We were directed to a table only to be told the next minute that another party was being placed there. The hostess was super apologetic and quickly seated us in the lounge area with some chips on the house which we appreciated. The aesthetic in this place is really cool. Lots of attention to detail and unique seating options. The bathroom is beautifully done as well. Our waitress was very friendly and seemed to know the menu well. We were asked several times if we had any allergies/dietary restrictions which we appreciated given we had one gluten-free person. We ordered some margs, queso, fajitas, and tacos. The queso was awesome and they kept the chips coming which I appreciate. The fish tacos however, were definitely lacking as they were very dry and lukewarm. Our gluten-free person also received flour tortillas despite being several times about her dietary restriction. Some understandable oversights as they are barely a month old and it was a busy Saturday night, but I'd love to see a little more cohesion front of house and attention to detail. read more

Delicious and so cute! We came here Wednesday night. Started at the bar since they were on a wait to get drinks. The Baja Spritz was amazing!! My friend got the spicy mezcal and said that was very good, too. For starters, we shared the chili rellenos, the guacamole and the carne asada fries. Soooo good! For meals, we all did tacos - nomada double decker, carne asada double decker and birria. Everything was phenomenal. I can't wait to go back. read more

Such good food and service! We did a birthday here and it was great :) we got the tacos with the trio appetizer

Came here for a girls date night with a friend, and I loved this place! If it were more convenient, I'd come here all the time! It's situated in Old Towne Arvada - great spot with lots of foot traffic. This place will do well. It's the sister restaurant to Perdida, which drew me in for sure, given how much I like that place. This place has a much more retro beach vibe than Perdida, definitely going for different food regions. Lady Nomada is more "baja" inspired cuisine, with more exotic fish options and also ribs "baja-rado" style. A little more of a unique menu in my opinion! It was a bit of a wait when we got there; they said about 25 minutes. We used that time to walk around Old Towne. They have many unique seating options in the restaurant - most of them booth-style with white adobe backs. Regular tables are there as well, but they also have a couple suspended "egg chair" swings for a group of two. We were eye-ing those from afar, and when we got our text our table was ready, it was our lucky day! We got to sit in the swing chairs. Super fun experience :) We each started with a cocktail. I was super excited to see tiki drinks on the menu, so that's of course what I went for! I got the painkiller & it came in a fun glass! They had lots of other good sounding cocktail on the menu though, and I wish I had the drinking capacity to try all of them! For food, we split the queso to start, which was alright. Nothing special. For our mains, I got the potato flautas, which I honestly thought sounded lame, but I wasn't super hungry. However, when I ordered them, the waiter said "good choice". And they turned out to be amazing! They were super potato-y and cheesy, and the fresh lettuce & tomato on top gave them a fresh crunch! Perfect amount of food too - it was a smaller plate. My friend got fajitas, and was very pleased with her meal! Love the vibe of this place - whenever we're out in Arvada, I'll try to make a stop! read more

I went to this restaurant after seeing a movie with a friend in Arvada and was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. The inside is very nice looking, some might call "trendy". I personally just thought it looked like a cool little southwest vibe that didn't scream Mexican cuisine but it was chill enough that I felt like I was in a comfortable place. The waitress (I'm so bad at catching names) was fantastic and very nice. I ordered a Paloma and enjoyed the taste very much. It didn't taste quite like a Paloma but it was still very good. Lately, I have noticed that when I order at different restaurants that it is not fizzy. Paloma's should have a fizz! Seriously! They should! I'm not some crazy old man, they should be fizzy! We ordered guacamole and it was very flavorful and the chips were great. This is not the type of Mexican restaurant that gives chips and salsa for free FYI. This isn't a point against it but I just thought it should be on record. I ordered the Birria tacos and everything on the plate was delicious. The consume wasn't SUPER flavorful like I have had with birria at other places but the meat itself was moist, tender, and scrumptious. The entire plate was very pretty and I always appreciate a little radish slaw/salad. I tasted some of their salsa that my friend had ordered and it was good but it was DAMN salty. Like they forgot how much salt they had put in so they just decided to put even more salt. It was a good flavor under the salt but I just thought I had to mention this. Not a bad place to get some tacos in the area but if you eat a lot of tacos (like the person writing this review), you have probably eaten better. read more

This place was fantastic! The layout and decorations make this place really stand out to other places and the music was just chill and relaxing. They have specialty margaritas by the pitcher and amazing Birria tacos. Beautiful ambiance with sick views and the service was nice. I really would love to go back the next time in Denver. Like I said earlier, order the Elderflower margarita! You'll be so glad you did! read more

Absolutely lived up to all the hype. Perdida is my favorite Denver spot so when I heard this was their sister restaurant I was so excited to go. The drinks were superb and the short rib fajitas were no joke! I love it here and am so happy to have one of my old spots transform into such a gorgeous new restaurant. Seating outside is also fantastic so it's a win win! Olde town is becoming a must go to spot! Lady nomada is across from the light rail so stop in on your way downtown for a fabulous drink! I liked the elderberry cocktail the best! read more

The vibe here is everything!! I came here when this place was Klein's Beer Hall and WOW they really transformed the inside into a magical Mexican chic-y paradise. I absolutely love what they did with the place. We sat outside on the patio for the evening. I got the Prickly Pear margarita which was tasty and very Instagram-able. For food I got the fish tacos which were pretty good but nothing out of this world. My partner got the Snapper Veracruz and was pretty disappointed. The fish was blah and pretty flavorless, the red sauce had a lot of flavor although the mint needed to be more minced for an even flavor. It also felt like it needed a bed of rice or something to go with it. We were also disappointed there wasn't any complimentary chips and salsa for the table. We got the sorbet for dessert and it was scrumptious! Came here again and got the pork tacos, they were good but I wasn't super impressed. Again, the price feels high to not include chips and salsa for the table. The drinks are good but nothing crazy. Still obsessed with the atmosphere here though. read more

I only had drinks here and not food, but the drinks were so good that I can only imagine what the food tastes like and I can't wait to go and experience it. This place is a great date place or just a good place to hang with friends, nice combination of intimacy and party vibes. Bartend service was amazing, and I can only imagine that extends to the wider staff. read more

My #1 go-to. Perfect for any and all occasions! Top notch food, ambiance, service, and vibes. As someone who grew up in CA, lived in San Diego and spent every summer in Mexico surfing, it's got the perfect mix of the surfing 'life', without missing a beat in aesthetics, finer dining, and excellence. Plus, it's women owned and local. You feel welcomed the minute you walk in!! read more

We gave this restaurant a third try...very disappointed. The staff seemed underwhelmed to serve us, and the food was undercooked (raw batter on the fried fish tacos) and a very bland. The margarita I had was good! With a handful of other Mexican restaurants within walking distance, we will be going elsewhere from now on. read more

Fun atmosphere, kind of SoCal/Baja. A good place for a date or meeting girlfriends. All the food seemed freshly made fresh and actually came out almost too fast since I needed to wait a few for my drinks. The warm queso seemed to have more "real cheese" than most restaurants and the steer corn was delightful as was the tres leches. I was a little surprised that the chilli replenished were an egg-roll type with chilli and cheese filling but still tasty. The cali Callie the marg packed the right punch. read more

I went in at 6pm on a Wednesday. Over a dozen open tables available. Told me the wait would be 25 min because I didn't have a reservation. As always in the Denver area, hosting was rude and seemed surprised I wanted to eat dinner at their restaurant. I took my business elsewhere. After 41 minutes I got the text that I could be seated. read more

First time here and the decor is to die for! It happened to be happy hour, so we ordered nachos, potato taquitos, chile rellenos and a birria taco. Our server was awesome and was correct/ the rellenos are outstanding. read more

The ambience is greatly spot on, if you don't mind people. Good for mingling! Their food is absolutely to die for, and the staff is neutral as they should be, lets you alone as you sit at your table or let's you sit at a high quality bar. 100% do recommend. read more

Stumbled across this place while walking around Arvada and it appeared to have a good vibe. In short, it checks all the boxes - friendly service, light, open, modern atmosphere, and delicious food! Rather than go into specific items, I would summarize by saying everything we ordered tasted great and was made with fresh ingredients. Just do it! read more

Cute place and very trendy. The service is spot on. The drinks were good. I got the toasted coconut margarita and it didn't disappoint. The chips and salsa were bomb. Although the green salsa was not good. Very sour and tangy. I'm from New Mexico so don't come here thinking your getting Mexican or New Mexican food. I'm mean for heaven sakes then call the red and green chile "red sauce" and "green sauce." The have a sun kissed girl painted on the wall on a surf board. It is very watered down of the Mexican inspired culture the owners took to build this place. read more

Well what a treat this place was. Five stars for the aesthetic alone! I was visiting my brother & sis-in-law in Arvada recently, as we tend to do a lot, and they insisted on taking us to this new, hip spot. I'm from Milwaukee, and while we have a growing city with new restaurants, we've yet to get something with this vibe. Between the fresh colors splashed across the walls, big couch-like seating, hanging chairs, and stellar wall of speakers, it's certainly welcoming. Food & drinks were on par as well. With it being a taqueria, we naturally had to get ourself some margaritas. Palomas all around! Which consist of El jimador silver tequila, agave, grapefruit, and lime. Tasty and refreshing. We also ordered ceviche for an app to share. Along side a big ol' basket of chips, this dish is comprised of fresh snapper, cucumber, salsa macha, chiles, red onion, and mango-type vinaigrette. I could have eaten another whole bowl of it. For a main dish, my mom and I shared the baja fish tacos and the birria tacos. The bajas were good, but nothing to write home about. The birria on the other hand, wow yummmmy. Short rib is tenderly cooked and combined with a queso of some sort, pressed between a crisp tortilla and served with a ancho chile dipping sauce. Yeah... you should order this! Quick, friendly service. Solid menu of good eats to choose from. Delightful atmosphere. Great overall experience. read more

I had no idea such a fantastic restaurant experience had been added to old town Arvada! Lady Nomada is an unforgettable experience in dining. The atmosphere, lighting, and decor are a relaxed and inviting vibe. My friend and I enjoyed great service and seriously amazing food. The drinks were great too! Definitely have a margarita (or 2) and start with the guacamole because it's fantastic. Do not pass on the street corn! It's smoky and sweet with fruity spice from the peppers. Neither of us had eaten Birria before so we had to try it. Honestly the flavor knocked me out in the best way! The pickled onions and lime added a great brightness to the short rib taco. The meat was heaven in a tortilla and had an incredible depth of flavor without being heavy or over powering. I already want to go back for more! read more

The interior decor alone deserves a five star! Super cute, all sorts of interesting little accents and fun designs. Definitely remember to go back by the bathroom for the photo taker thing and the surfing items. The margaritas were delicious and so was the food!

Been here twice with our family and were very pleased both times. They can get busy, but that's probably a good sign. We're fairly light eaters so we've only had some light fare, but their birria tacos, fish tacos, and queso with short rib were all delicious. Cool spot in the walking district of Old Town Arvada. Definitely one of the up-and-coming areas in Denver metro. read more

I wish I could've tried this place. On social media it looked so nice. But it is so dirty inside, chips on the floor under and around the table, views of full bus trays. We walked out. You'd have to be blind or unaware to not see that they aren't cleaning up regularly throughout the day or better yet after each customer. And don't put seats by a window of your view is going to be trash - gross! read more

If I could give a zero I would, had family in from out of town thought I would try it. Made a reservation for five walked in and sat us at a 4 top with an extra chair noticing they had 4 people at their 6 tops not well planned. The server came up and said she was a trainee but no one was with her not a way to train, ordered nachos for an app came out several chips on top was burnt and the toppings were just globbed on. Three of us all ordered different kind of enchiladas they were all served cold sent them back came back not hot again we tried again and once again not hot the girl who camped out and said they put a thermometer in it and it was 138, that is a holding temp not a serving temp, our whole evening was ruined in stead of comping our table she just took the enchiladas off, for background I am a retired executive chef with over 50 years experience, I didn't get dinner a horrible experience read more

Walked in on a Friday night with no reservation and were looking at about 1:15 min wait. The sweet hostess recommended the bar which we went for. The bartenders were swamped and we did have to grab their attention each time we needed something but it wasn't like they were twiddling their thumbs purposely ignoring us, they were hustling and bustling. We got the queso, carne asada, and the kale salad with grilled shrimp. The queso was a tad Luke warm but the flavors were def there. The salad was really good with the shrimp that was blackened perfectly. My husband seemed to enjoy his carne asada as well. Great hip trendy addition to old town Arvada! read more

My new fave upscale cocktail bar in the neighborhood! We usually like to stop in at Arvada Tavern for some cocktails and apps in a dimly lit swanky ambiance. Been hearing about Lady Nomada for a while but given they don't take reservations and tend to run busy I wasn't very encouraged. One snowy late Saturday afternoon we decided to give it a try b4 catching a play at Arvada Center. We got there around 5:30 and were immediately seated. Upon entering I fell in love with their clean, bright and artsy decor. Comfortable yet chic. Definitely a great date spot or a night out with friends. Loved that all their cocktails were made from scratch. No sour mix here! We got the ceviche to start. 8 out of 10. Meaning 8 out of 10 bites tasted like fresh fish with a couple of off bites. Chips and salsa were next. Chips were good. Salsa was ok. Birria tacos for main and hubby had the Posole. Both were delish and filling! I will definitely be back and will try their Paloma and carne asada fries next. Very cool place! read more

My boyfriend loves his Mexican food as we don't get very good ones in Hawaii (sorry, Mexican restaurants in Hawaii). When we were looking at things to try around the area we'd be living in, he wanted to check this place out! My friend who is a local in Denver also heard lots about this place via Tiktok and wanted to try it out with us when we arrived. It's located in this little shopping plaza across of the Olde Town Arvada transit station. Unfortunately, we landed late and couldn't make it to the restaurant to dine in. Missed the opportunity to check out the amazing interior of the restaurant booooo. My friend went to get take out for all of us. I'm pretty sure there's a parking lot with ample parking! I got the Double Decker which was basically shrimp tacos. My original order of the posole verde (clams and pork) sold out saaaad. It came with two tacos, and I was super excited to try it out. And I gotta say, don't get the Double Decker LOL. There were only 4 small shrimps in each taco and barely any vegetables. It was double wrapped with the guacamole in between the two tortillas. Flavor was okay too. Nope. Not worth it. My boyfriend got the pork carnitas tacos and carne asada fries to share. Two tacos too! Pork was good with lots of flavor but kind of on the drier side. The carne asada fries, though, suuuuper good. Even though it sat in the take out box for an hour, it was super bomb. Had lots of carne asada, guac, and toooon of flavor. Our fav dish honestly. My friend got the birria tacos which also came with two. The "dipping" sauce wasn't like the normal ones (peep at pic). This was suuuuper good. Lots of meat with a TON of flavor. Even the radish? onion? was super good with it. Hands down fav tacos. Overall, the experience wasn't bad. I chose a bad option but the food was still good. Loved the carne asada fries and birria tacos tho. read more

I've been wanting to try Lady Nomada for awhile now but every time I walked by the line looked crazy. We decided to try it on a Thursday at 5:30 and were able to walk right in with no wait!

I also don't love having to pay for chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant but the salsa was some of the best I've had. read more

This restaurant is beautiful! Its open, it's tropical, it's exotic, it's fun! The design is worth the visit alone. We sat at the bar, where the service was good, though there were two bartenders hanging behind the bar not seeming to do much, and we had to ask for more water when our glasses ran empty. Drinks are well priced and good. I highly recommend the guacamole. Otherwise, the food was a bit disappointing. The birria tacos were pretty much meat in a tortilla, without much flavor or any other components. The pozole was interesting, though too salty and watery, and the clams were not edible and too chewy. The pork in it was pretty delicious. Would have liked to see more vegetables in both dishes or just on the menu in general. All that bring said, I'd still go back to try a few other dishes and try happy hour. It's a neat spot in Arvada to stop by for a drink and snack and feel like you're in an exotic location. read more

Lady Nomada invited us back in for a do over. They delivered an amazing meal with great service. Not only did we throughly enjoy ourselves, everyone around us seemed to also. The table next to us said they come a couple of times a week. Also, prices are good. Dining out seems so expensive these days and what LN charges and the quality we got is a very good deal. We will definitely be back and happy that we have a new place to enjoy often. Great drinks! Great apps and meal! We really love the atmosphere and vibe too. Super clean and friendly staff, all the way from the hostess when we entered to the end when we left. Close to the parking garage which is nice too. Well done LN! read more
