24 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!“

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

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

“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.“

“Just recently moved to Denver! This was an awesome spot with a great happy hour. Every day from 3-6 including weekends !! Chris Pratt (“like the actor”) was our bartender! He was so phenomenal and gave us great recs. He made delicious drinks and was so easy to chat to“

“Delicious food and service tonight. The arepas were to die for and my empanadas were very hot and fresh. Frescolita was ice cold and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. This is one of my new favorite neighborhood restaurants. I look forward to my next visit already. Very clean restaurant and patio tables. 10 stars for service. Equally impressive food quality.“

“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=)“

“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!“

“Mojo taco… delicious… patio was great“

“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.“

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

“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. ☺️“

“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!!“

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

“My husband and I stopped in for take out and couldn't be more pleased. You order at the counter and the gentleman was quite helpful. We tried the cevuche and two other options and the food was amazing. Fresh, well packed to take home, and flavorful. Traditional food. Highly recommend.“

“The food was good but nothing out of this world. I will say the edamame was amazing. We came to try their bottomless bunch. It honestly was not worth the price given its higher than whats stated online $60 is the actual price for unlimited apps and dessert with an entre that was the least favorite from the experience.“

“The sweet potato tacos are perfect. The flavor profile is so good! I normally cover everything in cholula or tapatio but this is delicious without any added hot sauce. A normal amount of spicy for me, but if you wouldn’t willingly drink hot sauce for fun, then it might be a little spicy for you. I will definitely try the other locations in town, but it is so wonderful to find a place with multiple vegetarian options in the airport.“
