Cherry Creek

About the restaurant

From the heart of Michelin-starred Chef/Owner Johnny Curiel comes Alteño. Curiel’s newest creation pays homage to his Jaliscan Highland roots and traditions, incorporating a mix of heritage flavors and rustic preparations that spotlight the cuisine and culture of the iconic Los Altos de Jalisco. The spirit of Johnny’s restaurateur father, the original Alteño, is felt in the very soul of the restaurant.

The campestre influence woven throughout Alteño is inspired by Johnny’s childhood spent in the mountainous region of Los Altos, known for its rolling hills, historic colonial architecture, and wild, untamed land. Chef Johnny and his partner and wife, Kasie, developed the beverage program balancing top-shelf, native Mexican flavors and agave spirits like raicilla and mezcal, with classic cocktails and a wine list that includes a selection of Mexican, European and American wines overseen by Alteño’s in-house sommelier.

One of the most magical dining experiences of our life. Private, super cozy dining cabana right on the farm where a majority of the food is grown. Gourmet five-course surprise menu with every dish created as a masterpiece. Servers were super attentive to all of our needs, very friendly, and down-to-earth. This is one of the most unique and special dining experiences that Colorado has to offer.

When we say we have been to Chubbyfish every week we mean it; this place brings us back as valued customers and even thou people come and go the CORE remains. Peter, Max, J, Kaden, Oli, juila, and MIKE. This place is our favourite as the food is epic and the service is great but it’s the PEOPLE who make it what it is. Thank you team and don’t ever change! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Three of us dined and we all enjoyed the meal and our food. Service was good. We were pleasantly surprised to find bread and salad/soup included with entree as many places do not have that. The appetizer was good too. The salad was ok, and could use a little update. We wish it was open for lunch as many of we seniors don't go out at night so much and it isn't close to home for us.
