In the beginning there has been one word in Carlos’ Bistro, Beautiful. The excellence and the experience of the best in Colorado Springs. Carlos (Owner, Executive Chef, and Matradee) provides a warm and welcoming experience to all of our customers, making everyone feel special at home and relaxed.

About the restaurant

Chef Johnny Curiel debuts Mezcaleria Alma in Denver’s LoHi neighborhood, bringing the dynamic spirit of Mexico City to life with CDMX-inspired small plates and an expansive Mexican spirits menu. Located beside Curiel’s first solo restaurant, Alma Fonda Fina, Mezcaleria Alma marks the natural next chapter in Curiel’s culinary journey to share the beauty of Mexico through food. Each dish and drink draws from Curiel’s experiences in one of the world’s most renowned culinary capitals—a city where culture and tradition merge with global inspiration and constant innovation.

While Alma Fonda Fina is a love letter to the home-cooked traditions of Chef Curiel’s childhood—the comfort food found at traditional fondas across Mexico—Mezcaleria Alma embodies the unbridled innovation that defines CDMX.

I have eaten at some pretty fantastic spots over the years, but I haven’t found many that I love in Denver. This changed that! What an amazing meal. We did all different tuna dishes- all were phenomenal. Ox tail taco and burrata were unreal. Burrata may be one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. The only thing we didn’t love was the tres leches cake for dessert. It was a bit dry and trying too hard- not a real milky taste, just got raspberry from the topping. Overall, cannot recommend enough!

All the food was fabulous. We usually make Chinese food at home because the American iced version is terrible; however, Q House is an exception. It was outstanding. Highly recommend.

Took my boyfriend here for his bday and it was an absolutely exceptional curated experience! The food was 11/10, I would have done the wine pairing but we wanted some Negronis (which were also out of this world.). John the owner and chef, took fantastic care of us and cooked, made all the drinks AND made sure that at no point did our water glass drop below 1/3 empty. The tasting menu was everything and the duck was life changing. I think my favorite though was the dessert which was a delicious espresso custard in a house tempered chocolate shell. Will absolutely be going back!! If you have doubts please go and give it a shot! Highly recommended!!
