Blue Corn Tacos — Restaurant in Longmont

My daughter took me to lunch for a belated Father's Day. We went to a fairly new restaurant called Blue Corn Tacos.

No exaggeration when I say that this is probably one of the best restaurants in Longmont, and most affordable. Everything is made fresh with healthy ingredients. The tortillas are homemade on site, and your meal is cooked only after you order.

When I say it's affordable, each taco is $5, and they're bigger than the average size taco. I ordered one blue corn chili relleno taco and one beef steak taco. My plate came with rice and beans. We also ordered a side of guacamole and chips. The chips are not from a bag but prepared on site. And, the guacamole was the best in town. It was creamy, fresh, and melted in my mouth.

As if that couldn't get any better, the chile relleno taco was out of this world. Inside a soft blue corn taco laid a large chili lightly breaded and fried. Not spicy at all, just filled with flavor. That has to be one of the best tacos I think I've ever eaten. And, when you consider the price, this restaurant should be the top prize in Colorado.

I am so happy my daughter took me to Blue Corn Tacos because I now have a weekly place for lunch. I'll never grow...

There are a lot of great tacos in Longmont but this place is next level. I'm definitely not opposed to a classic street taco (we tried two of theirs and they were delicious) but this place really shines with their variety on their menu. They have so much more than just a few kinds of meat. We tried the beer battered fish taco, it was fried perfectly. Their menu also has some tasty looking meatless options so I would imagine it's a good spot for vegetarians. The star of the night was their green chili smothered chile relleno chimichanga. I mean, how can that be bad, but also it totally lived up to my expectations. We cut the thing in half to split and melty cheese just pours out of the chile relleno, it's incredible. And they do the green chili and all of the delicious homemade salsas on the side so that your fried food doesn't get soggy before you get home, which is ideal. The whole experience was really great. The staff was ultra friendly and warm even though they were in the middle of a rush and getting things out really quickly. Their online ordering site is really easy to use too. We will definitely be back for our favorites and look forward to trying more of...

I go here a lot so I'm kind of baffled by the experience I just had. I walked in and ordered to-go. I ordered double chicken bowl with only black beans and rice, I explicitly mentioned no lettuce, guac, pico etc. Just beans, rice and chicken. So they offered me double rice since I was missing so many ingredients and I happily said yes. I received my food with lettuce in it so went back to tell them and the rice portion was very small that at first I thought there was no rice. She told me they always put lettuce and I was confused because I didn't order it. She didn't offer to remake it or anything so I said I will pick the lettuce out, but upon thinking about it later, that's not the right way to handle the situation. So here I am eating my bowl, picking out the food I explicitly asked not to have in it. I go here a lot and am disappointed by this. There's a lot of good Mexican food here in Longmont so good service goes a long way to differentiate your business from others. Bummer of an experience.

edit: Picking this lettuce out of a rice and chicken bowl is a nightmare. What a disappointing...
