Native Foods

One of my top 3 fav restaurants in Denver! Especially if you want more casual, counter service dining. EVERYTHING is vegan but you would never know because the taste and quality of food is INCREDIBLE! I cannot speak highly enough of this place. And their sweet treats are to die for! Everything is 11/10!

After so many Native Foods locations closed across the country, I was extremely happy to see one nearby on my trip to Denver. In the 2010s, I used to visit the locations in Chicago and Washington DC and have fond memories of the food. I heard rumors that the food had declined in quality but I’m happy to report it’s just as good as it’s ever been. The southwest chicken salad is phenomenal, as is the orange chicken, breaded chicken strips, and peanut butter parfait. Portion sizes are huge and the vegan meat substitutes are some of the best I’ve ever had. The texture isn’t rubbery, and the breaded ones don’t taste overly oily. Staff were friendly, and the outdoor seating options were great. I’m very happy Native Foods is alive and well in Colorado.

Native foods you became my favorite vegan place with just one plate. I love the variety of food options, the staff was friendly, the quality of the food was amazing. I will be back to try more things

I love this restaurant. They have plenty of GF options and add a seasonal menu every spring. Their new Banh Mi Bowl is my favorite so far. And the best, no animals are exploited for this food. Great place to go with kids as there is also a kids menu. Their service is fast, O have never waited over 11 minutes for food to be ready, sometimes it even takes as little as 4-5 mins. The teriyaki burger is also amazing. The peanut butter chocolate parfait is also Gluten free and super tasty. Order in person or online on their website to pay better prices and allow the restaurant to keep more as Uber eats and Doordash change hefty commissions. Local and Latino owned small businesses by a vegan and former employee who has been there for over 10y or more. Michael is a great owner who treats his customers with great service and great food and teams up with local organizations to support them meeting at the restaurant.
