Everything from the service, drinks, and food was amazing. We had a hard time deciding what to order as everything on the menu was attractive. I cant eat scallops, but my wife said the were amazing. The roasted sweet potatoes far exceeded my expectations, they were absolutely delicious. The Tres Leche cake was a unique twist on a classic, and was sublime. We will definitely be going back. It was my birthday and our server brought us a nice brut sparkling wine from Mexico, with our dessert.

Amazing experience all over! Coming from Guadalajara, Mexico, I miss eating good Mexican cuisine and this is definitely a place I will be coming to more regularly to remember the taste of home. I will even bring my Mexican family when they come to visit. The tortillas and salsas are home made and you can taste it. I highly recommend the sweet corn Margarita. It is a good as some of my favorite restaurants in Mexico City and Guadalajara.

Sweet potato is a must. The chefs were great at the counter and gave great advice on what to order. I was in town visiting and they suggested that I order more smaller dishes instead of getting full off of one of the entrées so I can try more.

The food is good, not amazing and over priced for the quality. The waiter was confusing. He said the meals are shared plates and he would help up order the right quantity. There were two tacos per order, I don’t consider that a shared plate. The specialty drinks are fine, but again not amazing. Probably won’t go back for the price/quality.

Excellent service, great cocktails, interesting & tasty food. The tuna tostada and chicken mole were favorites. Overall a great experience. One person in our party had a peanut allergy, and we were surprised by the number of dishes that contained peanuts (not obvious on the menu, so a reminder to always ask!). Our server was very helpful in guiding choices around that, but something to be aware of when ordering.

The food here is seriously the best meal I’ve ever had in Boulder! And the service is phenomenal too! Our server, Caroline, was so helpful and every staff member attended to our table with the same care and diligence. I 100% plan to return to eat there again!

Everything at Cozobi was excellent - from our server who beautifully described all the vegetarian options available - to the delicious servings - including a fabulous Caesar salad, charred sweet potato and my refreshing hibiscus margarita. My sole quibble is the decor, which is cooly drab and out of sync with the colorful offerings. But basically, it was one of the best meals I’ve had in Boulder.
