22 Best Latin American Restaurants in Denver

“Fantastic dining experience. Worth the trip every time!“

“I did some research on local restaurants before my 3 day trip to Denver and was so happy to have found Lucina Eatery. Let's start with the vibe and atmosphere. I felt right at home. The staff was fantastic from Alexander Moon (GM) to Billie (bartender with the right amount of sass, playfullness and desire to please). NOW FOR THE FOOD. Well I went back 2x over the 3 days the food was so good, I sat at the bar (a lot of fun since I was by myself) and felt totally welcome and comfortable. THE CEVICHE and BROCOLLI were to die for. I have 4 orders of Ceviche. I love this place and will be back“

“We love dining at Super Mega Bien whenever we are in town! Fabulous food“

“Mojo taco… delicious… patio was great“

“The service was great. Shaina was knowledgeable and had suggestions and accommodations for those with nut allergies, lactose intolerance, and vegetarians all of which were in our party.
The horchata was a 11/10!! it was not like Horchata I’ve ever had. It was made with coconut milk or cream and toasted coconut on top. The second one we got had rum in it and we should not have done that. It’s way better without the rum.
Papaya/mango app 8/10
Burrata & corn with plantain chips 10/10
Coconut rice 7/10
Tomato & avocado salad-6/10. The tomatoes themselves were perfectly ripe and delicious. The avocado purée was lacking
Papas(loaded fingerlings)-7.5/10
We were cruising along great, and then the entrées came. Four of us ordered the picanha with the chimichurri sauce. And all four of us were highly disappointed. I would give it a 3/10. The french fries that came with it 9/10. Garlic aioli-6/10 tasted too much like mayonnaise
The chimichurri sauce 7.5/10
The picanha 1/10. It was so grisly and hard to cut and hard too chew, that after sawing off three bites I was too frustrated and disappointed to eat anymore. For $50, this should have been at least a 7/10.
I would go back for the horchata and apps and shareable, but not for the entrees.“

“Perfect snack/coffee stop at Denver Airport! Great service and amazing empanadas!“

“Found myself here by complete accident as my kid was getting a haircut next door and I was hungry. Wow, this was an excellent find. Incredible flavor, light crispy crust, and the chimichurri sauce was fantastic. Will need to find an excuse to come back.“

“Best empanadas argentinas mendocinas in Miami area!“

“absolutely delicious food and the best staff ever!“

“My company offers to order lunch and this is one of the places on the list for the day so I can’t speak to the location itself, only the food. I got 3 empanadas; spicy chicken, spicy ground beef and spicy steak. As well as the red sauce and green avocado half spicy sauce. The steak and chicken were delish mostly the chicken. The ground beef was sweet and threw me off but still yummy. The red sauce was spicy and delicious. The green had good flavor but kind of a downer compared to the red. Would def indulge again. Would like to check out their location. I’d add a photo but I already ate it.“

“🎉Happy Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽🇲🇽😋😋“

“gooooood food especially the menudo=)“

“My first time here with a group was great. For apps, we had queso and guac, both were delicious. I tried the chicken empanadas which were pretty good. I also tried the mojo tacos which are pork with plantains. Excellent flavor and I appreciated that they were willing to accommodate my request for no pickled onion. Standouts were the drinks and dessert though. I had a banana pina colada and a frozen strawberry pomegranate margarita and both were scrumptious. The churros and its sauce were the favorite of the meal - a must have!

Service was decent. I could tell he was very busy. Was a little disappointed that after we closed out, we stayed for maybe 15-20 more minutes and there was no additional water brought to the table so many of us had nothing to sip on.

Vibes and atmosphere were excellent but it is pretty loud when it’s busy. I look forward to going back.“

“Just discovered Zocalito this weekend!!!! DELICIOUS 😋 The service was top notch, the menu was unique, and the prices are very fair. I had the Chicken Relleno and there was not a bite left. Highly recommend!!!! I will most certainly be returning, as this may be one of my new favorite restaurants!“

“The absolute best coffee shop in Denver! I ordered the Horchata Latte which was served hot in a traditional red clay mug. My beverage was smooth had a delicate body, a gentle sweetness and fruitiness, and an acidic snap to finish off the experience. There was ample, clean space to sit with friends in the courtyard right outside with chairs and tables. The shop was colorfully complimented with locally made goods, homemade Mexican pan dulce, and offered so much more than coffee. They even make atole which takes me back to my childhood! I can't wait to try everything on their menu. This is my new favorite place in Denver and will quickly become yours too!“

“Rica comida de El Salvador y Honduras las mejores pupusas y pollo entajadas. Ambiente familiar y un agradable servicio.“

“Great food, great drinks, and amazing staff! 10/10 recommend!“

“phenomenal food and flavors experienced tonight along with an upbeat mix of music that I guarantee you'll be bobbing your head along with.. everything from esoterra produce to uni tostada to the bomb pork belly and curry lobster pasta. ON POINT, ya'll“

“Picante's is Great. Amazing Latin food at a good price. Im never disappointed wether its a Breakfast Burrito, Asada Frys even the Motza sticks are on point. ☺️“

“Hidden Gem, and amazing date night hangout. Excellent food, good portions, and live music on certain days“

“I absolutely love this restaurant. It's to me the most authentic place I've tasted really yummy pupusas and other items. They make the pupusas to order so they are always fresh (I make sure I ask without loroco). The employees are really nice too, and be kind to them if you only speak English, because they are trying their best to communicate with you and make sure you get your yummy food. I just learned (since I'm always eating in) that you order pupusas over the phone you have to pay for them over the phone since they are made to order, they've had alot of people not pick them up. So don't be angry if they ask you to pay over the phone. This is a mom and pop restaurant, a little hole in the wall, so it's definitely a treasure. I always order tacos, their tamales are delicious, and their breakfast is super yummy. Even their hamburgers are delicious.“

“The food was incredible. However, the service was lacking. Our server only came over a few times. The mise en place could be better. We had to ask about our second round of drinks. The server could have been more present to cultivate an experience.“
