Front and some of the patio seating

Ordering was easy and staff was friendly. My husband enjoyed the grilled shrimp tacos. He said there was no skimping on the ingredients. Numerous shrimp on each taco. My salad was good but not great. I liked all ingredients but the chicken. It tasted more like it was frozen, then cooked and not fresh. If I return, I will grab something other than chicken. Chips and salsa were tasty.

Fish enchiladas with green sauce!

Always hits the spot, best rice & black beans around. Fish enchiladas with green sauce, cheese quesadillas for the kid, chips & salsa & a new drink cup to take home! Great service.

Wahoo's is awesome... is it okay to start with that? The restaurant is right off of busy 28th street in Boulder, but shares a gigantic lot with tons of other businesses, so parking hasn't ever been an issue for us. If this is your first visit to this particular location, then I'd suggest paying close attention to your GPS, as there may be a more convenient way to get into this place than the good 'ol satellites suggest... I'll leave that up to you, though. I've been multiple times, and have enjoyed each of my visits to the Boulder location (the joint down near Bass Pro Shops, unfortunately, isn't as great, in my opinion). The vibe is super chill, the people at the counter are always friendly and especially patient (mostly with me because their whole fricken menu looks delish to me, and my boyfriend knows what he wants pretty quick), and the decor is rad. The menu is kind of overwhelming for me... but there are so many yummy options, and sooo many things ending up looking like the picture perfect image of what I'm feeling at the time. It is absolutely straightforward, though, and the staff are easy to talk to and ask questions to, so narrowing the choices down is actually a pretty smooth process. Unless, of course, you're not like me, and can choose the one thing you're craving with ease! As of late, my choices have been the Wahoo bowl with grilled wahoo and black beans/brown rice, or the combo plate with a carnitas enchilada (or classic wahoo taco), black beans/brown rice. I'm stoked to have the chance to continue to try more of their menu; everything is always super fresh and yummy - it's a wonder were in CO and not on a coast!! That said, I'd totally recommend this place to any of you peeps looking for a chill atmosphere and a belly full of happiness.

So. I have been to Denver and Boulder several times and this is a fun little spot. Reminds me of the west coast chain Surf Taco only more/better flavor. Had the guy who works here just order my meal. He got me the enchilada and taco plate with beans and rice. Really surprising how good it was but maybe I was just not expecting much. All in all. This is one of my new little quick stops every time I'm in the Boulder area.

Combo Plate #2, Outer Turf Burrito didn't make it to the photo shoot

Was Feening for some Tasty Tacos! That were fresh & affordable. Can't believe I drive past this place all the time because it was Really Awesome! Got a burrito & my Gf got the Combo plate. Everything came out fresh, perfect, colorful. And the Wahoo Fish was Amazing! Give these guys some business for lunch, definitely coming more often!

See all

They have the biggest fish tacos in town and they have a fresh salsa and pico bar where you can add all the toppings you want!

Went to Cozobi Fonda Fina and honestly... I'm still thinking about it…read more First of all, the space? Cute. Like "casually taking pics of my drink like I'm a food critic now" cute. The staff? Absolute angels. Kind, attentive, and somehow keeping up with our we'll just try one more thing energy. Now let's talk about the food... WOW. We basically ordered the menu like we were in a competitive sport, and not a single miss. Every dish came out like it had something to prove... and succeeded. Delicious doesn't even feel like a strong enough word. 10/10 would go back and pretend I have self-control next time.

I've eaten at Cozobi many times and it easily sits in the top three of my favorite restaurants in…read moreColorado, which is saying something because I've had the chance to dine at many spectacular places while living here. Yesterday was a beautiful day in Boulder. I spent most of it riding around on my motorcycle, but on my way down from the canyons I had a hankering for some truly authentic Mexican food. As soon as my stomach started growling I knew I had to stop in for a bite. Everything, as always, was perfectly seasoned, balanced, and cooked with love. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is some of the best food you'll ever eat. Chef Johnny Curiel has done an impeccable job curating a near perfect menu. From drinks to dessert and everything in between, there is nothing, and I mean nothing, on this menu that will leave you feeling unimpressed. I've spent practically my entire adulthood in the restaurant industry. I've dedicated even more of my time cooking for, drinking with, and serving the people I love. You can taste and feel that same passion here at Cozobi. As always, I leave impressed and wanting more. Places like this are the reason I keep coming back to Boulder's dining scene, and I'll happily continue recommending Cozobi to friends any chance I get.

Honestly, we lucked out with lunch here. We got in just in time -- after us, they stopped seating…read morefor lunch and only the bar was open. This was an impromptu choice while we were in Boulder, and it truly lived up to its reputation as a Michelin Guide restaurant. Food & Taste We tried the lamb tacos and chicken enchiladas (with both red and green sauces). The lamb tacos were delicious, though slightly on the oily side -- something we did share as feedback. The chicken enchiladas were the highlight. The flavors took me back to Santa Fe -- well-balanced, rich, and comforting. The chicken was cooked well and, importantly for me, had no off smell, which I'm usually quite particular about. Vegetarian / Vegan Options They do have vegetarian and vegan options like sweet potato enchiladas and veggie torta quesadillas, which is great to see. Service The staff is helpful and patient, happy to answer questions and guide you through the menu. Ambience The space has a boho vibe, and the clean restrooms are a plus. Overall A great find in Boulder -- flavorful food, thoughtful service, and definitely worth trying if you can get a spot

But Santo stepped up and offered all day availability for its traditional Happy Hour Frito Pie, which we have ordered for years. It's a combo beyond the homemade simple Frito Pie you might have grown up with. It's a mix of Fritos, chorizo, green chile, a cheese blend, crema Mexicana and chopped scallions and red onion served in a cute bowl, no old school Frito bag. It's delicious and can be ordered with additional toppings or some guacamole in the side as we did with the house made blue corn chips. Since it was an early lunch to be sure we would beat any possible power outages as threatened by wind today I had the house made hibiscus agua fresca and my husband had a classic root beer. It was a perfect lunch on a sunny but potentially very windy spring day. Staff was awesome as usual.

I had been to the Lafayette location more than a decade ago and never returned. It simply did not…read moresuit me at all. I recently saw that a different family group operated this one in a very convenient part of Boulder so I decided to give it a try. A favorite classic family run restaurant with a similar menu had closed in 2014 after being in operation for 20 years. We missed that sort of menu. This is it, all the way to type of sopapillas and the classic plates with rice and beans , sauce and melted cheese. The family appeal carries through from hosts to servers to clearing staff. The menu is large though it appears that most only vary by central item. The entrees all come with the same sides and a sauce. Next time I will ask for light sauce as it pretty much buried my tamales. They need to stand out and shine and I love the taste of masa. The server was right on the spot with our drinks and we had a comfortable and clean booth. Chips and salsa were at the table as we were seated. They are plainer than some in town but still fresh and classic and free, just like Casa Alvarez, our old classic. The place was buzzing with customers young and old a perfect place for a comfortable and swiftly served meal. The space filled up quickly and though they have an enclosed patio and an open patio, not a soul for takers including us, on a 30° degree evening with a "breeze" so there was a line for tables as we left. We'll be back in a warmer weather and customize our plates a bit. It's friendly and filling and for anyone. And easy on the wallet too. Nice to have a family friendly spot like this in an easy to park shopping center with McGuckins in the lead.

Since changing locations, the portion sizes are significantly smaller, with incredible price…read moreincreases. The economy is not at total fault for the portion sizes and increased costs. And the quality has decreased substantially, comparing this to the former location. Overall, so disappointing!!!!! Service has certainly gone downhill, as there seems to be entitlement involved. The servers attitudes have also gone the wrong way. The ambiance has certainly gone away!!!!
