“ Very good authentic Mexican restaurant. I thought I was back Nuevo Laredo. From the cantina music to the guys at the bar everything was very Mexican. The food was very good. I had pork cartagena's. My wife had the combination Chili Reino and enchilada. She said that corn tortilla on the enchilada was excellent. My food was very good as well. Service was very good even though the place was crowded on the bar side. The restaurant side not so much. As a matter of fact we were the only ones in there. Highly recommended if you're in Longmont, I want some authentic Mexican food. ”
“ The food is authentic, it's the first place in Colorado to really remind me of the Mexican food in California. Nice vibe, the staff are all friendly and nice, good music. Sometimes the service is a little slow, but there's like one or two servers, it's just a hole in the wall. I definitely recommend to anyone who thinks 5 is too much for a taco. ”

“ Wonderful, authentic experience all around. The exterior is so unassuming, but inside is a fascinating blend of vibrant and rustic-ranchero. Service is wonderful - very attentive despite choosing to sit away from the bar crowd in the far dining area. And the food... oh my. Absolute best barbacoa and lengua I've ever had. Great beans and rice. One of the best horchatas in Longmont. And their variety of hot salsas is fantastic! This is the only place I'll visit when I'm craving truly authentic Mexican food. ”
“ Tacos al carbon are awesome, fresh tortillas, good salsa chip, the service is incomparable, I will add a little bit more condiment to the chicken fajitas, but rice and bean are very good. I love the sauce in fresh cocktail is very good, ”
“ Food is beyond 5 star! Delicious. Beans are FANTASTIC. Music was a bit loud. Staff was decent. Typical Mexican patrons, loud and drunk in the bar area. But that's normal for longmont. ”
