Very good, family-owned small restaurant! The environment is welcoming and cozy, and the service is always really good. The food is phenomenal. I always start my meal off with a mora (blackberry) juice con leche. They have a ton of flavors to pick from. From there, I get my main dish which is usually the Calentao special (chicken, rice, avocado, beans, and egg), but if I can't decide on what to get the La Chiva Picada is always a safe bet since it's like a charcuterie board/ sampler with all of their best menu items. They have these boards for a single person, or for two (a group of 4 could easily share this). Keep in mind there is an automatic service fee of 18% included on each bill. I didn't realize this for the first few times I went and tipped ~40% lol. even with a ridiculous tip, it's still so worth it and I'm sure the workers appreciate the love. Last thing i will note, is parking is free and usually pretty easy to find. Make sure to stop by and get some amazing columbian food! Support local businesses

What a wonderful and authentic gem for the city! The service and staff were amazing! We were able to pull up the menu that had lots of details about the different items, but the staff was also great at answering questions and making sure we were taken care of! We ordered way too much food, but couldn't help ourselves! We got the empanadas, the corn was slightly sweet but with an amazing chicken filling. Then we got the guisado de pollo which was delicious, arroz con pollo, arepa's and ajiaco soup. Everything was wonderful and gluten free which makes my heart so happy! Highly recommend a visit to La Chiva!

Ambiance - 5/5 Service - 4/5Food - 3/5Drink - 5/5This place is so unique. With Colombian music playing and fairy lights, its patio has a lot of charm.We made a reservation and we're seated on time. Service was really friendly and got everyone's drink order immediately. I had Mojito and it was awesome.For entree, I shared the La Chiva Picada for two. Waited 30+ minutes for the dish and it was underwhelming. The sauce was delicious but the meat (the fried chicarron and chicken were very dry. I liked the fried yuca and rellena Colombiana (a stuffed sausage. very unique and delicious)

I've been here twice--once for drinks and it was fine and the second time for dinner. Our service was a bit spotty. At first we had multiple guys who were very attentive and then they must have gotten busy because they didn't come back for a while. The food would have been really good if it wasn't all dried out. It tasted like it was under a heat lamp for too long. I was bummed out since I've heard good things, but we had to ask for extra sauce to add to the rice and chicken since it was so dry. If you're going for a snack or a drink while walking in the area I'd say it would be fine, otherwise there a lots of other places in that area that are a bit better.

Food is excellent prices are very high! understand everything is now this days i still think prices should be less!.
The main reason for 3 stars: paying on the Toast app was deceitful. This is the main reason I likely won't be back honestly. I knew there was an 18% auto service charge, which is fine. It was even on the paper receipt. But the toast app receipt didn't show it and gave the option for tip on the total without service charge. So we assumed it wasn't included there, and we tipped. But it was actually ON TOP of the total inclusive of service charge (which was not a line item and not included in the total in the app). Ultimately we paid almost 40% in tip. Hopefully someone is happy, but this seemed so wrong to me. Ok everything else:The setting: awesome, colorful, great spot. They did an excellent job with the inside. The food: it was ok. The veggie plate was ok for me but nothing outstanding. The appetizer empanada was my favorite - super fresh and flavorful. The sweet plantains were yummy, and the potatoes were buttery smooth. Otherwise, the arepa, fried plantains, rice, and beans were all meh. My friend enjoyed most of the meat items, especially the chicken leg (it had a crispy skin).The service was friendly and slow, as expected in a Latin spot. Ultimately I'd have recommended this spot, but the way the bill was handled left a negative taste in my mouth.

Let's start with the service? It was flat out awesome! Let's skip that and get to the really good stuff, food!Not since over a decade ago, dating a Colombian woman have I had Colombian food that's good. The Arepas were on point. I mean to be blunt. Everything was good. There's nothing that we ordered. That was a bad. It has a cool vibe that fits perfectly with eating on Broadway, the pricing was very fair for what you got but more importantly, and I cannot stress this enough, the food was amazing

Great food. Tortas ahogadas brought me right back to Ro-Ho in San Antonio only better! Still- too pricey to make it a regular stop for me. Maybe a few times a year because it's so good. $20+ for lunch is just too rich for my blood.

Came here on a Friday night and got seated right away - it was 6:30 so that's a shock to me but I'm a suburbanite so we already eating by this time and things are full! I saw more people rolling in as the night went by.Service was attentive and helpful. We shared the 5-sampler empanadas and the variety platter for 2 which was plenty for 4 people. I didn't like everything but it's because of my taste and not its preparation. It was all well-presented and prepared.

Great service. Food (calentado) was delicious. I know the arepas con queso are delicious too. Years ago, when they were in another location (crossing the street),I didn't like their juices cuz they had too much water and few flavor so I never ever came back until yesterday.I went with my family yesterday, and the juices were delicious (that means they improved) my brohters ordered Picada, and they also gave it 5 stars. The restaurant decoration is pretty, and it is clean. I do recommend this place. I'm so glad there is a Colombian place in Denver and for sure, I will be stopping by more often.
