"Here’s the hottest table in town right now. This upscale Mexican sensation shares with its Denver sibling — the Michelin-starred Alma Fonda Fina — a deeply heartfelt yet highly stylish approach to its menu, which ranges from elegant crudos like the hamachi aguachile with orange oil to tacos on handmade tortillas to soulful entrées such as the Sakura pork-shank carnitas with frijoles charros, salsa de árbol, and jalapeño escabeche. The bar nimbly follows the open kitchen’s lead with vibrant Sweet Corn or Avocado Margaritas and wines from Baja California." - Ruth Tobias
