Cozy restaurant with top notch service and amazing food and drinks. Stopped in before the Christkindle Market and decorated super cute for the holidays. Lots of options for sharables. Fresh, fresh, fresh! We loved the Paella and I really enjoyed my cocktail - an Al Pepino.

This place is amazing! Delicious food and drinks, superb service, lovely atmosphere! We chose it because it is just down the street from the Paramount theater where we had play tickets. We tried the Ala Sangrona margarita, which was delicious. For dinner we had the Altiro and the Al CamaLeon tacos which were so flavorful and delightful. Then we topped it off by sharing a churros for dessert. Yum! The service was likely the best I’ve ever had. It was a great experience and I will definitely go back again. Highly recommend!
The place has a very cool atmosphere. Great, friendly staff! I ordered a chicken sandwich and would not recommend it at all. It was all bread/sauce/coleslaw and no meat. The fries are shoe string fries, which are not my favorite, but they were nice and crispy and perfectly salted. My husband got the shrimp and loved his meal. The rice paper bowl was a cool touch to his meal. All of the meals around us looked delicious. I just wouldn't order the chicken here again, but I also don't think that's what they specialize in either! Seafood seems to be their niche. We ordered mozzarella sticks as an appetizer, and they were the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had! We also ordered dessert. Chocolate chip cookies and ice cream. It was good. Ice cream was better than the cookies. If you love seafood, you will love this cozy, modern, friendly restaurant!
We stopped in for a quick bite before a show at the Paramount Theater, and Altiro absolutely delivered! Despite not having a reservation, they happily accommodated us—such a gracious welcome. We mentioned that we were on a time crunch and wanted bold, flavor-packed dishes that could be prepared quickly. Our server was incredible—she immediately offered spot-on recommendations for both food and drinks, ensuring we got the best of what Altiro had to offer without feeling rushed. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the drinks were perfectly crafted. The service was not only efficient but also warm and thoughtful, making us feel truly valued as guests. The atmosphere was inviting, with stylish décor and a cozy, intimate feel that made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re in Aurora, whether for a night out or just craving an outstanding meal, Altiro is an absolute must-visit. We can’t wait to return!
Excellent spot for a great food and drinks with a very inviting and comfortable atmosphere. Service is very good. But the original drinks are on Le of the highlights. Too good!
We went to enjoy “con café” today! The Horchata and Mazapan coffee were amazing! El Café de la olla was off the chain….and try some tequila in it! The churro French toast was life-changing!! The papas were so delicious! The atmosphere is super chill! Very friendly and informative staff! The DJ was dropping those beats! Cannot wait to take more of my friends and family there!
We stopped in for dinner before a show. Very minimal things kept this from a 5 star. The chicken was a bit dry, the tri guac was really the same guac with different stuff sprinkled on top, apps came out before the drinks. On the other side everyone on the staff was very nice and the cocktails were awesome!
First time here. Had a mezcalita! Absolutely yummy. Had the poblano soup, I can't express how wonderful! Come and try! Sat at the bar, my favorite to watch the happenings. Live music was an added bonus. Only suggestion, have flour tortillas for people with digestive issues
