Mezcaleria Alma

Coming to Mezcaleria Alma was an incredible experience. It is an old building that was renovated. The walls were well decorated. There was music, but we could still talk. The wait staff were knowledgeable and attentive. The food was amazing. We ordered 5 dishes and a dessert, all of which were delicious. The ingredients were fresh and the food pairing was perfect. The mole was so unique and the best mole I ever had. I recommend the arroz a la tumbana, and the flautas, the carne apache, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Holy smokes. Mezcalaria Alma was one of the most magical dining experiences of my life. Just truly amazing. The Tostada de Toro was so delicious that I think my eyes rolled back in my head and I couldn't talk after the first bite. The flavor combos are divine. There were dishes that felt new and unique, and dishes that felt comfortable and fun. Everything was elevated and thoughtful. The Old Fashioned was perfection. The Beet Spritz was an adventure. Shout out to our serve Ryan for being making the experience top notch. 10/10 recommend. Damn.

Mezcaleria is by far my favorite restaurant in Denver. I have been going here since they first opened last fall, probably 5 times in total and once at Alma (also amazing). The space itself is rather intimate, which makes it feel even more special. The food and drinks are genuinely incredible. I’ve sat solo at the bar top and also dined with friends. Christina is such a sweetheart who’s honed her craft. I’ve never had a bad cocktail or conversation with her. What keeps bringing me back beyond the stellar dining experience, is the staff. It’s clear this team is family. It’s really cool to see the head and sous chefs working right there, and sometimes even serve you. The manager Dom is so warm and delightful, it’s evident such care go into curating the perfect experience for guests. Overall, I’ve been to Michelin restaurants everywhere I’ve traveled, and have never experienced one as deserving of recognition as Mezcaleria.

One of the most exciting meals I’ve had in a while! We were a party of 2 sat at the chefs counter, which was a really fun experience watching everyone at work. The cocktails were fantastic, we started with the beets spritz (highly recommend if you love beets or anything a little different!) and the corn sour, both were balanced and refreshing. We then moved on to the colada (sweet treat) and old fashioned (perfect for mezcal lovers, not overly spirit forward!). Standout dishes for us were the tostada with uni (probably my favorite thing I’ve eaten all year) and the costillal short rib. However, EVERY dish was amazing, flavorful and perfect all around. No notes on anything. Special shoutout to however the beans are cooked, they were so flavorful and delicious in every dish they were a part of. The tortillas, tlayudas and tostadas also had great structure and texture. They would not easily crack or break, and remained intact when bitten into. Hard to achieve!! Tres leches is possibly the best I’ve had. Balanced and not overly sweet flavor, great texture and structure to the cake, delicious! We ordered 6 dishes since we had so many on the lighter end of the menu. They recommend about 4-5.
