On a mission to share the beauty of Mexican culture through food, Chef Johnny Curiel opens Cozobi Fonda Fina as an encore to his beloved LoHi restaurant, Alma Fonda Fina. Named after Cozobi, the Zapotec god of corn, Cozobi Fonda Fina is rooted in Mexico’s centuries-old corn nixtamalization traditions and wood-fire cooking techniques that define its rich food history.

This was our second time there, we took friends with us this time. Cozobi didn’t disappoint! The sweet potato appetizer is still our absolute favorite. So many flavors. We also had the avocado dip and scallop appetizers. The homemade tortillas chips were bomb. We then ordered all the tacos, they were delicious. Again, the tortillas really make the dish. Cocktails were great too!

Outside Fresca, which is unattainable most of the time, this is the best meal we’ve had in Boulder. We sat at the chef’s counter which was super fun. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Wow, simply one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Boulder in the past ten years! Such high quality ingredients prepared to perfection, and such a professional, qualified server and kitchen staff. And, it deserves to be mentioned that we ate a ton of food, and that the overall bill would have been higher at other restaurants that we consider to be in the same sphere of quality.
