La Chiva Colombian Cuisine - Denver

This place is fantastic! The owner personally came out to check on us and see how we enjoyed her food. You can tell the dishes are made with love. As a first-time experience with Colombian cuisine, I found it to be uniquely delicious with an outstanding presentation—definitely a treat for food lovers. The passion fruit tea was out of this world! The food is not only flavorful but also well-seasoned and perfectly portioned. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making for a friendly and enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend!

A fantastic choice for anyone who enjoys authentic Colombian cuisine. The image features their famous “Guava Bread Pudding.” The artist behind this is Gabriela.

I absolutely love dining at this restaurant! The authentic Colombian flavors are outstanding. I highly recommend the "calentado," which includes beans, rice, chicken, avocado, and an egg. The other dish I tried was "sobrebarriga." Since it was my birthday, they surprised me with a delightful guava dessert. Gisselle, our server, deserves a five-star rating—she's the best waitress ever! She was patient and always greeted us with a smile. The service on Saturday afternoon was quick, and I really enjoy their natural juices. While there's no dedicated parking lot, finding street parking on Broadway, just a block away from the restaurant, was easy. Overall, I give it five stars. Thank you, Gisselle, for your attentive service and for the delicious guava dessert—I loved it!

Anyone who wants to experience true authentic Colombian food should come here... we were visiting Denver from Colorado Springs My wife who is Colombian felt like she was right back home when we entered this hidden treasure of a restaurant!

We recommend for the experience!FOOD= We loved the empanadas patacones. The arroz con pollo was ok, the picada was disappointing because you don't get to choose anything (we don't like chorizo or morcia and would have preferred more chicken or beef), and real colombian arepas have melted cheese whereas these just put a slice of regular cheese.DRINKS= We loved the passion fruit guava juices and the pina colada. The margarita was ok, and the mojito needed much more rum, mint and sugar.SERVICE= Great!ATMOSPHERE= Great! We'd probablyl go back for the atmosphere.
