Cozobi Fonda Fina

On a holiday weekend, we were lucky enough to snag a reservation for Cozobi. And we are so glad we did. Upon entry we were greeted by a hostess that exuded excitement when we casually asked her what she recommends. Then, once seated we were pleased with the busy, but not too loud atmosphere and the view of the kitchen. The guacamole was a standout amongst the guacamoles that I have tasted in my life. Particularly, the charred vegetables and salsa negra were excellent complements to the guacamole. The camote asado was also excellent. We also had the taco de suadero, costra de NY strip, and the enmolada de pollo. While all of these three were excellent, we were slightly less impressed by the enmolada de pollo. However, this might be because neither of us are big mole fans. The brisket and the steak in the other dishes were prepared perfectly. Overall, this restaurant is a MUST if you are anywhere near Boulder.

I love high-end upscale Mexican food. And who doesn't love a Michelin star restaurant? Combine the two and be prepared to have your mind blown.Reservations are a must no matter what time of day you are coming. We came for lunch as soon as it opened. Service was impeccable and they made sure to ask about dietary restrictions. If I understand them correctly, everything there is gluten-free. Which was perfect because we had someone in our group that was celiac. Most of the dishes we had came primarily from the starter section. It seemed like the best way to go to get the most variety. Of everything that we had the agave roasted sweet potato was by far the most impressive. However, the simple Carne Asada taco on what appeared to be a blue corn tortilla was simply sublime. Not to be missed and definitely to be tried was the avocado margarita. It might sound a little unusual, but I assure you that the texture was both tart and silky. It just seemed more grounded than your average margarita. The ceviche tostada was beautiful. Both in presentation and in flavor. The puréed white bean that made an appearance on a couple of items is a velvety texture with a ton of flavor The only thing that wasn't mind blowing, but still simply delicious. Was the lamb mole. I would've been perfectly satisfied that was all I had, but in comparison to some of the other items, it was delicious but a little heavy. If I ever find myself in Boulder again, I will go out of my way to make sure that I eat here

I mean. This place is the closest you can get to a 5 star in BoulderFrom a Michelin Star chef who also owns Alma Fonda Fina in Denver. Everything's great. Avocado margarita is a must. I come for that one first!

Last night we sat at the chef's table and had an unbelievably good meal. We chose items from the first three sections of the menu and had six items and also had dessert. The highlights of the meal were many, but I would have to say that the sweet potato was our favorite, but we also loved pretty much everything on the menu that we tried. We got the guacamole , aqua chilies, tuna tostada , steak, taco, mushroom crema, Would order everything again but the mushroom crema. We also had the famous avocado margarita (delicious) and a regular margarita. Finished it all off with the mind blowing tres de leches. This is the type of restaurant that we would love to go to in nyc and it's awesome to have something of this quality in Boulder. We will be back many times to their amazing place!

I recently dined at Cozobi Fonda Fina in Boulder, CO, with a coworker, and we opted to sit at the chef's counter--a choice that turned out to be an incredible experience. Watching the chefs in action brought an extra level of excitement to our meal, and we got to see firsthand the passion and precision behind each dish.Owen helped us make some menu selections and it was clear he is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the food. The Chilaquiles and Tuna Tostada were both fantastic.The ambiance at Cozobi is warm and inviting, with a modern twist on traditional Mexican decor that feels both authentic and stylish. I'd definitely recommend grabbing a seat at the chef's counter if you're able; it's a unique way to experience the restaurant and adds a fun element to the dining experience.This place is a gem in Boulder for anyone looking to enjoy elevated Mexican cuisine with a modern touch!

Okay, this place is so good!! Nice inside, and we came in on a cool night, so the windows were open. We risked it and went without reservations, so we sat at the bar and felt the nice breeze. And let me tell you, Steve took care of us! Not only did he make us delicious cocktails, but he was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and the chef's story. We loved all the food, which were all of his recommendations. Really couldn't go wrong. The favorite of the night was probably the tostada de atun, but the agave charred sweet potato was the best sweet potato dish I've ever had at a restaurant- incredibly flavorful and uniquely prepared. The scallops were buttery and delicious. We did specifically ask if they had any additional meat on top as many restaurants like to add bacon to scallops and we're all pescatarian, but Steve assured us there was not. However, when the dish came out, the woman presenting it to us told us it was topped with meat. She immediately took it back to fix it when we explained the situation and as soon as Steve saw what was happening he came over and asked us what went wrong, was quick to apologize and spoke to the GM because they changed it without his knowledge and honestly I was impressed by the way he handled it all. Another big highlight of the night was the avocado margarita! Holy moly, refreshing and different and so tasty.The restaurant has a nice chill vibe, low lightening, but not so dim you can't see what you're eating (but it did blur my pics a bit sorry!). A great new place to try out in Boulder and though it's a little on the pricey side, it's absolutely worth it. I see more Cozobi in my future!

This was my 3rd time to visit this new restaurant in Boulder. Last time, the electricity went out just after ordering drinks and one appetizer so I didn't want to write a review until I had gone for the full experience. Each time we were welcomed by friendly staff members. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has several options for seating. There is a patio and a chef's table (a bar that faces the kitchen), but we chose to sit inside the dining room.We ordered 2 classic margaritas and they are excellent. We keep hearing about the avocado marg, but I haven't gotten up for trying it yet. All of the plates are small plates, so keep that in mind when ordering. To begin, we ordered the Frijole Puercos Estilo "Alma" and the puréed beans have a great texture and flavor. The puercos is deliciously spiced and has the perfect amount of heat. The Rajas Con Crema is not to be missed either - I love poblano peppers and these were what the color green must taste like and the crema, well, need I say more - it's creamy poblano peppers with spices that make your mouth water and ask for more. It comes with only one tostada shell, so we asked for another and it was perfect for sharing.We also ordered the Chilaquiles De Birria and again - amazingly mouthwatering and fresh. The chips stayed crisp and the sauce was delicioso! My only "complaint" is that there really wasn't enough de birria for the price. What there was, well it was fabulous but I expected more for $19.Finally, we decided to try the Tres Leches cake. It was cooked as Tres Leches was meant to be, incredibly moist with milk yet not soggy! It had a great texture. The twist of orange caramel was good, though the orange pieces were a bit too large for my liking.Our servers were all amazing and accommodating. We were bummed when Masas Y Agaves closed so we are thrilled that Cozobi delivered not only great food and service but an wonderful experience as well. A new favorite for us and we look forward to bringing friends!

Wow wow wow! Can't say enough about this experience. There may not be words. Every dish was phenomenal. The service was spectacular. If you know their sister restaurant Alma, then you know you are in for some downright mind blowing cuisine. I'll dream about this meal until I can go back.

CFF is doing a tremendous job delivering delicious food and libations in a low key location across the street from the St Julien. We tried a myriad of items and each was well balanced, flavorful and delicious. We also took a small trip down the mezcal road with a few delicious choices off of the extensive menu. We will definitely be back to explore new mezcals and enjoy the great food and friendly service.

This restaurant has some of the best gourmet tacos! What is a gourmet taco you ask... well, it a NY strip taco bursting with amazing flavors that I've never tasted before. Pair this with their brisket taco that has a smokey flavor but no hint of bbq and you can't go wrong! Everything sounded amazing and we will sure be sure to come back and try some of their main courses!
