22 Best Latin American Restaurants in Denver

“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“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Okay decided I want some snacks/small plates and a drink and went to Senor Bear on a whim not knowing anything about the background or what type of place it was and while I’m not disappointed I can’t say it’s 5 stars. I’d give it a 4.3 or a 4.5 overall.

I had the rice nigiri which was pretty solid, for 9$ you get 2 pieces but for nigiri I was expecting more..: nigiri and less fried rice. The rice was fried and good, but took away from what could have been a good combination of complex flavors. Then I got the papaya and that was a good blend of sweet with a SLIGHT hint of spice at the end that stays on your tongue. I’ll say the food was good but not sure if I found it worth it the price point.

Had to get a digestivo so I got the Mini Negroni and well…. If you like mezcal and you like Negroni you’ll like this. No complaints it was exactly what I expected.

Overall, this is a nice date spot or a special occasion place when it’s not happy hour. When it’s not happy hour I’m not sure I’d casually walk in but happy hour has much more reasonable prices. Overall this is a solid place, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed but I’m not sure I can say I’d give it 5 stars for the price I paid. It is cool they include 20% on every bill too make sure the staff gets paid so can’t be mad about it that. Overall good spot but not somewhere I’d go casually unless it’s happy hour“

“Great execution on both the food and cocktails. It's not fancy. It is just fantastically executed food. The guac and lamb pastor were particularly outstanding. Aldo loved the cauliflower wings with Judy the right level of heat. The service was solid and matched the friendly atmosphere.“

“🎉Happy Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽🇲🇽😋😋“

“gooooood food especially the menudo=)“

“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!“

“Mojo taco… delicious… patio was great“

“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!“

“PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE! Jay the manager was so well prepared to share history, chef details and menu choices. Viviana our waitress was honestly, one of the most exceptional waitresses we’ve ever had. The tortilla soup was filled with so many delicious ingredients, perfectly balanced spices, and the presentation was perfect. The taco selections were glorious. Crispy exterior corn tortillas, rich with flavors inside! Tender beef, chicken, savory cheese selections. Truly Baja style tacos!!! The churros were stellar. Homemade vanilla enhanced batter, perfectly fried… premium cinnamon and sugar lightly dusted outside, served with warm carmel and chocolate sauces. This place is the most hidden, beautiful gem in the North Thornton/ Westminster/Northglenn area. Gorgeous Interior and seating areas. Very upscale feeling. Perfect meal.“

“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“

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

“My wife and I had 2 breakfast burritos. We know the 2 gentlemen that own and work together. The burritos were the Best we've had! They make their items from scratch. The chef was trained as a Mexican chef in Mexico and his cooking shows it. You'd make a mistake if you don't try their varied and scrumptious items!!“

“This was our second time dining at Toro and it was even better than the first time! All of our dishes were excellent, the pan/latin fusion was a fun experience. The salmon entree was my favorite. Great service and lively ambiance. The kid's menu was great too“

“A Birria de Chivo and a champurrado for the win! Both times ive been here the service was great, and food on point. Yes, it takes a bit longer than you expect but its not premade like other places. So, if good food is worth a little wait, this place is absolutely worth trying!“
