CAMELIA Modern Mexican Cuisine 1055 Broadway, Denver, CO 80203

"Came for husband’s birthday and should’ve listened to the reviews. The place is beautiful but the food is very mediocre and not worth the price. DO NOT waste your money on the guacamole, very bland and small portion for the price. I ordered the pink mole which the chicken was definitely old. The husband got the snapper which definitely needed more seasoning. I sent my dish back and we should’ve left but I figured we could take the fish home and fix it which we did. My husband does eat the whole fish and could tell from the taste the fish was starting to go bad as well since fish rot from the head so I definitely wouldn’t want to see their kitchen. We ended up taking the food to go and went to one of the “hole in the wall” Mexican restaurants which was a much better choice. Should’ve went with my first instincts"

"The drinks were great. The service was amazing at the bar. It was nice to see all of the different drinks and different glasses that go along with it."

"We just recently dined at Camelia's and boy were we blow away. From the flavorful dishes, beautiful cocktails to the interactive dishes and fantastic service, we highlight recommend checking this spot out!"

"Don’t know where to start. I have never been so disappointed before as from this place.. starting with the servers, super unprofessional, felt like I was in a bad bar. Nobody told us before that the restaurants heater was broken so we had to sit in jackets… the cocktails are terrible, no taste whatsoever and just taste like pure tequila shots… the only things I liked was the guac and the free refried beans you get at the beginning. The steak which I ordered with the guac was terrible and dry and hard as a rock… the truffle Mac and cheese was so so, no truffle taste at all… the Mexican chocolate cake was the biggest disaster and disgusting, she poured so much liquid over it that the whole thing tasted like pure 100 proof alcohol..plus it was completely burned… I had to spit it out… they didn’t even take it off the bill even though I told them about it… worst birthday dinner of my life.. thanks for ruining it… don’t be fooled by the beautiful photos… way too expensive for the quality of the food.. torchys tacos next door is better"

"I was so excited to try this new modern Mexican cuisine spot! My date and I started with the guayabita cocktail that has cachaca liquor in it. It was a little sweet for my liking but my date enjoyed it and took mine. I ordered the camelia, a rose prosecco pink drink with raspberry that comes with a smoke(?) filled bubble that was cute to pop before drinking. They serve complimentary full tortilla chips with a refried bean dip topped with cheese, then three small salsa that are green, orange and red. For an appetizer we ordered the charbroiled oysters that were TO DIE FOR. BEST OYSTERS I'VE EVER HAD. Seriously, delicious. 100% recommended. I ordered the Enmolada Rosa which was a braised chicken dish with pink mole. The plating was gorgeous but similar to a basic chicken mole dish. For the price I wish there was one more ingredient to add a pop of flavor or spice. My date ordered the Baja Pasta which was yummy however I think the description is a little misleading. It says it comes with a jalapeno cream sauce but it was so much a sauce but a spicy-ish Mac and cheese dish. My date and I agreed that we wish it wasn't so cheesy. I'm realizing now we didn't order anything the waiter himself recommended, which is something we usually do. I'd definitely be back to try what he tried to sell us. Lastly, we ordered dessert and a show. The Mexican chocolate cake comes out on a marvel cart with a chocolate dome covering it. The waiter then lights tin cups of melted chocolate on fire and pours it over the dome, igniting the whole thing on fire and eventually collapsing revealing the cake itself. The cake was moist and delicious with a chocolate mousse on top of it and chocolate covered berries surrounding it. I highly recommend and thought it was definitely worth the price. The food was 4/5, I think certain items could use a little tweaking to make it that 5/5. Our waiter was wondering and attentive along with the food runners. Our entrees did take a little long to come out and I would say the food was warm but not hot. Also there was a few times the staff looked confused as to where there were walking the food to. Which worked out cause we saw a lot of good looking dishes! Atmosphere 5/5 this place was clean and elegant and a vibe!"
