From the heart of Michelin-starred Chef/Owner Johnny Curiel comes Alteño. Curiel’s newest creation pays homage to his Jaliscan Highland roots and traditions, incorporating a mix of heritage flavors and rustic preparations that spotlight the cuisine and culture of the iconic Los Altos de Jalisco. The spirit of Johnny’s restaurateur father, the original Alteño, is felt in the very soul of the restaurant.The campestre influence woven throughout Alteño is inspired by Johnny’s childhood spent in the mountainous region of Los Altos, known for its rolling hills, historic colonial architecture, and wild, untamed land. Chef Johnny and his partner and wife, Kasie, developed the beverage program balancing top-shelf, native Mexican flavors and agave spirits like raicilla and mezcal, with classic cocktails and a wine list that includes a selection of Mexican, European and American wines overseen by Alteño’s in-house sommelier.

Tamayo is a true expression of Chef Richard Sandoval’s deep-rooted love for authentic Mexican cuisine, inspired by his abeula and shaped by his childhood in Mexico City. Since 2001, Tamayo has acted as both as a geographical cornerstone of Larimer Square, but also a metaphorical one for Chef Richard. With its history and legacy, Tamayo stands alone, but also acts as a creative incubator for new techniques and campaigns that have reached the world in Chef Sandoval’s locations. We love Denver, and are happy to help support what modern Mexican food means here, as we have for 25 years.

    Mezcalería Alma is one of those rare restaurants that excels not only in food and drinks, but in hospitality. The food is consistently outstanding (the tres leches is non-negotiable), the mezcal program is among the best I've experienced, and every visit feels thoughtful and intentional. What truly sets Alma apart, however, is the people. The staff create an atmosphere that feels warm, welcoming, and genuinely joyful. Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning as a regular, they have a remarkable ability to make every guest feel seen and cared for. On my most recent visit, I found myself chatting with a couple celebrating their 10-year anniversary, sharing recommendations, taking photos for them, and watching them fall in love with the restaurant the same way I did. That's the magic of Alma—it's more than a meal; it's a place where people connect. Denver has many great restaurants, but very few places create a sense of community the way Mezcalería Alma does. The Michelin star is well deserved. Come for the food and mezcal, stay for the hospitality, and don't leave without ordering the tres leches.
