These are Colorado's latest Michelin star restaurants

One more Colorado restaurant is celebrating on Monday after earning a Michelin star — the much-craved industry status symbol.

Why it matters: The awards recognize the best restaurants in the world and establish Colorado as a culinary destination.

• The state now boasts six Michelin Star restaurants.

Driving the news: The new addition to the Michelin Guide in Colorado is Alma Fonda Fina in Denver. The Mexican restaurant specializes in food from chef Johnny Curiel's upbringing in Guadalajara.

• Michelin also added Chinese restaurant MAKfam to its Bib Gourmand list, which recognizes those with great food at a great value.

Flashback: In 2023, the first year the guide came to Colorado, five restaurants won the top nod.

• The restaurants receiving Michelin stars in 2023 were Beckon, Brutø and The Wolf's Tailor in Denver, as well as Bosq in Aspen, and Frasca in Boulder.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
