About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Chef Johnny Curiel debuts Mezcaleria Alma in Denver’s LoHi neighborhood, bringing the dynamic spirit of Mexico City to life with CDMX-inspired small plates and an expansive Mexican spirits menu. Located beside Curiel’s first solo restaurant, Alma Fonda Fina, Mezcaleria Alma marks the natural next chapter in Curiel’s culinary journey to share the beauty of Mexico through food. Each dish and drink draws from Curiel’s experiences in one of the world’s most renowned culinary capitals—a city where culture and tradition merge with global inspiration and constant innovation.

While Alma Fonda Fina is a love letter to the home-cooked traditions of Chef Curiel’s childhood—the comfort food found at traditional fondas across Mexico—Mezcaleria Alma embodies the unbridled innovation that defines CDMX.

    Multiple dates available
    In keeping with the spirit of a traditional mezcaleria found in Mexico City, the elongated, plush banquette anchors each table inviting guests to sink in and relax. Every corner of the dining room reveals treasures from Johnny’s travels, paired with captivating art like intricate Mexican embroidery that sparks conversation. At the heart of the space is a captivating mural on traditional bark paper by local Latinx artist Maria Morante, a powerful homage to Mexican folk art.

    We’ve been to the first Alma last year and wanted to try Mezcaleria this year. The food was gorgeous. Every bite was a joy to the senses. Our server was kind and attentive. We love the team at Alma and wish them the best.

    I don’t often write reviews but the experience was absolutely exceptional. The service, the food, and the atmosphere were all excellent. The dishes were truly a work of art and tasted incredible. But above that was the service. The service was personable and genuine. I’ll definitely be back.

    The best meal I've enjoyed in a long time in and out of Denver. Every bite was perfection! Thoughtful balance of flavor and textures. Lovely environment while a thunderstorm raged on the other side of the dining room windows. Will return.

    Mezcaleria Alma in Denver is an absolute gem! The combination of vibrant atmosphere, amazing cocktails, and delicious food makes for an unforgettable dining experience. The mezcal selection is impressive, with each cocktail expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. The food is equally outstanding-absolutely loved every dish we ordered.

Overall, Mezcaleria Alma exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to return for more incredible dishes and drinks. If you’re in Denver, this spot is a must-visit!

    Some of the best food I’ve ever had. Atmosphere is super charming and the service (most of which comes from the chefs) is friendly and attentive. The space is intimate and really beautifully decorated, and the whole experience was one of our better nights out in the four years we’ve lived in the area.
