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.

We had a fabulous experience! We sat at the Chef's Counter and enjoyed interacting with the chefs, who provided incredible service while also cooking for everyone. The food was incredible! Don't miss out on the scallop crudo or the carnitas taco, as they were highlights for us, but we enjoyed each and every dish we shared! Can't wait to come back and try more of the dishes.

We booked at the chef's table for a last-minute date night and had a great experience. The food was outstanding, as were the service and ambiance. Beyond the food, the interaction with the chefs elevated the experience. They shared anecdotes about the sourcing of ingredients and preparation techniques and even answered questions about the recipes. The energy of the kitchen was infectious, and the chefs clearly loved what they were doing. It showed in the food as everything was remarkable.

2nd time enjoying this fabulous restaurant! Such unique and delicious dishes and perfect for those who are GF as everything is GF! Love that the portions are for sharing meaning they are generous. Chad was our server and he is very attentive and knowledgeable so he can answer any question about the menus with descriptive detail. Such a great and tasty experience! Be sure to leave room for the Tres Leche dessert 😋
