Top 5 Mexican in Denver

Top Tier EditorialSourcesWestwordThe Infatuation

  1. 1

    Alma Fonda Fina

    LoHi

    Infatuation's high-end Mexican pick — chef Johnny Curiel's Michelin-starred LoHi fonda turning out moles, carnitas, and housemade masa unlike anything else in town.

  2. 2

    Xiquita Restaurante y Bar

    North Capitol Hill

    Westword's 2025 Best New Restaurant and Top 50 upscale go-to — chefs Ras Casiano and Rene Gonzalez Mendez built their menu around nixtamal, duck-mole tacos, and blue-corn tlacoyos.

  3. 3

    El Taco De Mexico

    Santa Fe Arts District

    Westword's Top 50 humble hot spot and Infatuation staple — the James Beard America's Classics taqueria whose green-chile burritos are a Denver rite of passage.

  4. 4

    Mezcaleria Alma

    LoHi

    Infatuation's LoHi pick — the Curiel family's more casual companion to Alma Fonda Fina, singled out for an 'otherworldly' tuna tostada and housemade flour tortillas.

  5. 5

    Molino Chido

    Aurora

    Westword's Top 50 casual favorite — an Aurora masa-first taqueria built around handmade tortillas and a tight, taco-centric menu.
