Absolutely yes!!! Everything is amazing here, the vibe is incredible and very casual for a Michelin restaurant, the food is next level, and the price is so affordable I can see why they are booked out two months at a time! We sat at the bar and honestly was such a great experience watching them make the food and chatting with the servers & bartenders. You mustttttt get the sourdough tortillas. Everything we got including the cocktails were phenomenal and we got the sweet potato for dessert. The portions are way bigger than I expected, so you had to roll me out of there to get home. The sweet potato was even good cold as leftovers, and a nice treat after an amazing meal. The scallop was my favorite thing on the menu *chefs kiss* 100/10 we love! Also- go for HH before 5pm. The prices are incredible.
Earned the Star Amazing everything. Sat at bar and loved watching them work plus so friendly. Amazing food. The avo marg was actually delish Scallops were my fave.

Wow! So many Denver restaurants are all about the vibe at the cost of flavor and value. This place truly knocks all three out of the park. Every dish I tried was packed with flavor and freshness. Loved the brisket taco the most. Even the guac was standout. For a Michelin star place, and in general, the meal was a good value. Literally have nothing negative to say. Cute, intimate environment as well.

We were looking forward to dining at the newest Michelin * addition in Colorado. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. To start with the positive, the food was creative and flavorful, prices are quite reasonable for Denver. The wine list is a bit short for a * restaurant. The ambience was quite loud, difficult to have a conversation. It is ridiculous to charge extra 3% for use of a credit card, in particular if it is not clearly stated at the time of booking. The worst, however, was the fact that after just 70 minutes being at the table (actual 45 minutes after reserved time bc we arrived a bit early) we were told it is too late to order an entree because we have to leave after 90 minutes. Enjoying a dinner starting with browsing the menu, having an aperitif, and then four courses shall never be rushed into such a short time frame. This sounds like a fast food restaurant and not a Michelin stared one. Plus, it was communicated to us in quite a rude way, and of course, no mentioning at booking. I haven't experienced such an anti-gourmet restaurant behavior anywhere in the world yet.

Deserving of all the praise and certainly the Michelin star. The food, service, atmosphere are just superb. I love that it's still an a la carte menu, versus fixed, which is great for two reasons: 1) it is more affordable versus other restaurants in the fine dining category, and 2) it feels less pretentious. Can't wait to back and try everything else!

Overall, the food was pretty good. I really enjoy high end Mexican food. The meat was properly cooked and fish was delicious. They really nailed the different types of tortillas!
Service and atmosphere not really consistent with a Michelin 1 star rated restaurant (napkins not folded upon getting up, silverware settings inconsistent, bathrooms messy, no dessert, restaurant was kind of smoky inside when we were in there).
However, the price point was good and a decent value.
Alma Fonda Fina is incredibly deserving of their Michelin star. The food is incredible, the service is perfect, and the overall vibe is amazing. It was a warm and welcoming restaurant with the kindest staff who paid attention to every detail. We loved celebrating a birthday here and will be back.
Best halibut I’ve ever had. Entire meal was fantastic.

Food was excellent! We loved everything we tried. I didn't love the atmosphere. It was muggy, windows steaming up. I think a couple of fans would go a long way to keep the air circulating. We will definitely go back!

I recently dined at Alma Fonda Fina, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The service was attentive and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely amazing – every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. This spot has definitely earned a place in my favorites, and I’ll be back for more! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a memorable dining experience.
