Something between tapas and dim sum, the Latin inspired small plates are delicious. I love that everyone takes dietary restrictions seriously: so many gluten-free dishes to choose from! Happy hour is definitely worth the early arrival. Great craft cocktails, especially the signature gin & tonics.
4.5/5. Super-mega-good. All the food I got was very delicious, the server was great, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the entire spot.They pride themselves on being a "Latin American Dim Sum" establishment. They will even bring the cart around if it is busy enough!The menu is small - but all the options are very flavorful and have a lot of care in their presentation. The portions are good. I left very full after getting 2 small plates and 1 large plate. Drinks were also very delicious from what I've hadThe only thing holding me back from a 5 is the pricing and the 3% add on charge they put in the menu. The food is delicious - but it was roughly $55/person with drinks (drinks are easily $14-$16 a pop, and while good, are not worth the price). Its just a tad bit too much for what you get in my opinion. Going during happy hour to have $2 off small plates would be a really fantastic option I'll keep in mind in the future. But that isn't what keeps this from being a 5/5.The bigger disappointment is the trend of the service charge on top of your bill. I'm just against this whole thing in general as it just really promotes being decisive. Just lump the 3% added charge into the food. This charge literally has a note next to it saying "3% charge due to the rising cost of staying in business" or something like that. This is usually an automatic 4/5 for me when restaurants do this. And your server gets a 2-3% less tip from me - because I'm not playing that game of tipping the restaurant over 20% on the meal.Overall, I hope to come back here again for happy hour and when I'm not looking to get some drinks. Hopefully they get rid of the service charge and I'll consider bumping to a 5.

Excellent,prompt service. Love the small plates catered to each country in South America, etc. The Churrasco large plate was EVERYTHING. Had a Pina Colada on the rocks for the first time. Strong! Whatever dip came with the croquetasDietary restrictions: They asked right out the gate if we had dietary restrictions then proceeded to tell me which entrees didn't have that ingredient. Very nice touch. I immensely appreciated that quality and care.

Food is just meh, unlike their sister resturant right across the street. We ordered 8 different plates and only 1 was good. For the price, I won’t recommend it.

One of, if not my favorite spot in Denver now. Consistently incredible, fast or slow pace depending on your mood, and great atmosphere. The food beats out most other restaurants in Denver regardless of price range.

SMB is the best! Service is always top-notch, the dim sum service is really fun and well-paced, and the food is some of my favorite in Denver. Also a phenomenal option for people with Celiac!

Loved their Carne Asada! Honestly all the dishes were very tasty and I can’t wait to go back. They don’t take reservations so getting a table can be tricky.

Excellent, unique food. Fun atmosphere, with the roaming carts of delicious food items. Would’ve liked separate checks, but it turned out to be NOT a big deal.
