Savina's Mexican Kitchen - Downtown Denver

I recently dined at Savina’s Mexican Kitchen in downtown Denver, and it was a fantastic experience! This place has that authentic, welcoming vibe with a nod to its long history (love the story of Grandma Savina’s recipes). Our waiter was super friendly and knowledgeable—he recommended the chicken fajitas, and wow, what a great call! The chicken was perfectly grilled, juicy, and bursting with flavor from the seasoning. The sizzling plate came loaded with tender strips of chicken, grilled peppers and onions, and all the classic fixings—fresh tortillas, guac, sour cream, and pico. It was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. What really stood out was the award-winning green chile from Savina’s (that famous Colorado-style green chili!). They drizzled it generously over everything, and it added such a rich, savory kick—mild heat with tons of flavor. It elevated the whole meal. We also enjoyed some solid drinks—the margaritas were well-balanced and refreshing, perfect for washing down the tasty food. The chile relleno I tried was good too—nice and cheesy with that crispy exterior. Overall, the food was consistently good, the service attentive, and the portions generous. If you’re craving authentic Mexican with standout green chile and killer fajitas, Savina’s is a must-visit in Denver. Highly recommend—I’ll definitely be back! To try more 🌶️🇲🇽

Savina's Mexican Kitchen is a Downtown Denver delight. This is an upscale Mexican restaurant with all your traditional favorites that have been elevated a mile high. Our food came out fast! Hot and fresh. The service is friendly and professional and eager to help. The atmosphere is classy and sophisticated. It was a great visit to this amazing restaurant.

We had a confusing start since we had a Loloma gift certificate, but this is now Savina‘s. Lauren helped us work through it and sent us to La Lomas. We got there and they didn’t open until three so we came back here. Lauren is the reason we came back because she was so overly helpful and polite and kind. When we returned, Keri was exceptionally helpful in seating us in the perfect spot to accommodate my service dog and even made some small talk about him, which is rare and very appreciated. Service dogs are a part of who we are at this point. How we are treated when we let staff know we have a service dog, sets the tone for the entire experience. Our server, Spencer, served everything at such a perfect pace. Very personable and we would definitely request him going forward. Love it when drinks and food are paced at a relaxing speed where you never feel rushed and you never feel like you’re waiting. He nailed it. Food is reasonably priced and we came on a Friday at lunch and we’re still seated right away. You can’t go wrong. The manager, the hostess, and the servers are all on point.

The food was delicious, although I must admit it’s hard to truly impress me with cuisine alone. What absolutely stood out, however, was the service—100%. Coming from the restaurant industry myself, I can confidently say this was top-tier hospitality. We were amazed by the atmosphere! The entire team works in perfect harmony, creating an unforgettable experience. From the very first moment, you feel right at home. Every request was heard, and every wish was thoughtfully fulfilled. This restaurant is a true gem—where exceptional service meets an inviting atmosphere.
