Dulce Vida

Very friendly waiters with comfy, hole in the wall ambience. Limited menu but what they have is tasty

For a work lunch we headed to this restaurant, a favorite of my boss. Sat ourselves as it seemed that there was only one server-bartender. She brought over menus and took our drink order. I was excited to see shrimp po'boy for I had been craving one. Tacos and a burger with salad rounded up our group order. Also found out that they have tater tots and onion rings which are not listed on their menu. Score! Tater tots for the win!The place is not large but it has two tables with a lighted canopy for fancier dining. And the bar occupies about half of the room. There's a patio area but no chairs or tables in it. We were entertained by the show on the tv and our conversation while we waited for our food.The tacos looked good. So did the burger and the side salad was huge. Can't imagine what the full order would look like. The shrimp in the po'boy is not Southern style as the breading is soft and it's not as seasoned as I like. And the bun was average. The remoulade was the right amount but meh. The others enjoyed their meals very much. I would come again and just not order the po'boy. The server was friendly and helpful and did a wonderful job balancing her two roles. She's amazing. Seems that it's only street parking so plan accordingly.

Every now and then, I am lucky enough to stumble across a #neighborhoodgem. Today was such a day and Dulce Vida was the spot with a soup to die for, accommodating servers, and out of this world atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

I love Dulce Vida. Jordan is the best bartender here. She is always peppy, smiling, and keeping everyone's drinks filled as well as their bellies (if needed). I just stumble across this place as my friends live across the street. The food is consistently good. Actually surprisingly good. The service is impeccable. There is a pool table and I believe some other games. We always just hang out at the bar and chat it up with Jordan. They have an awesome happy hour as well. I think it's like $4 you call it or something like that. Definitely worth checking out after work or even later. The crowd seems to thin out during the week, so I like to go when it is more chill.

So I've been coming here for about 2 months for lunch and happy hour off and on. They just switched to a limited menu because they are closing towards the end of the year. Whoever is in charge, run the entire menu until a month before you close, you have amazing food, WTF!Also, own the closing and throw some dope ass shows and specials. The community will show up and support you!

Hit or miss. The last time I went they serve me a burrito that had a fly on it but replaced it... And still charged me... The food ran right through me... The reason I'm giving this place more than one star is because it is a local spot, great staff, they offer discounts to the local if you let them know that you're local, the food is not horrible... The fly just threw me off.... Also the drinks are reasonably priced and pretty decent here... There is an outdoor patio in the back, that is dog friendly, and it has the misters to keep you cool in the summer... Pro tip: great green chili !!! Ask for it on the side if you're uncertain! ... always tip!

I'm surprised by all the four and five star reviews, that was not the experience my friend and I had. Maybe all the good reviews come from regulars, because that is certainly where the bartender was focused. We had to ask to get served, the bar was nowhere near busy enough for her to not notice us. My friend ordered a margarita with salt, it came with no salt. He ordered a cup of green chili and tacos, they forgot his green chili. We had to ask for napkins and silverware. And when we were ready to check out, the credit card was sitting on the bar for probably 15 minutes along with our dirty plates before she tabbed us out. The food was about what you'd expect from a bar, totally fine but not worth going out of your way to get, but the service, definitely not four or five stars.

Dulce Vida is one of the truly underrated establishments in Denver. It has a great selection of draught beers and liquors and the menu though small is just right.Great service and a great patio!

I used to really like this place. But the service is really awful. The rude older lady behind the bar will not even acknowledge you even after 15 minutes sitting there. They seemed to think it was funny. Pretty much made me out to be the jerk for asking for a menu and why I had not been acknowledged after sitting there for so long especially considering that the bar was practically empty. Bad vibes all around. I had to ask for my card back more than once. And paid for a drink that I didn't event consume because I was so appalled by the behavior. I seriously hope they have a team building session or hire people that are a bit more friendly and don't hate their jobs. P.S. all I wanted was a bowl of green Chile because it so good .

Was there yesterday to watch football. Dogs walk freely around and beg for food while you are eating. One dog peed and pooped on the floor ten feet away from me. I like dogs but this was too much. The food is good (truck stop like) and reasonable, but one loses one's appetite with these "events." I had to leave. I am sure the restaurant is losing customers.
