Im so sad my family and i found the food tasteless. I wanted to love it. The reviews make it sound great. Breakfast was bland, my husband tried chilaquiles for the first time here because i told him how good they are and how they are usually made. (Or at least my experience) they were soggy. Im not sure if they had cheese but it didnt look or taste like it. My son liked his carne well enough. The portions are skimpy and the gingerbread pig/bakery cookie had no flavor. I wanted to show my kids how good it was but these missed the mark. 70$ breakfast was steep for the food and service. read more

I have driven by this place for many months. I finally decided to drop in for lunch. I had the beef flautas and was not disappointed. They taste home made and are very delicious. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I had to come back. I returned on a Sunday with my daughter. She enjoyed the enchiladas and I had the menudo. Again, this was extremely close to homemade. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're craving AUTHENTIC Mexican food. Oh, I almost forgot, the music added to the dining experience. The prices are very reasonable. read more

The food is so, so delicious. Hard to beat their food. Our server was attentive and wasn't stingy about refilling our chips and drinks. Love the casual vibe and western decor. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic food! I highly recommend the fish tacos, so delicious. The carnitas were equally tasty.

La Panda offers traditional Mexican dishes. The overall flavor was mediocre but not bad. Chips and salsa were good. Prices are reasonable. I may give it another shot if I'm in the area. read more

Don't get the al pastor meat!!! I got the order of 4 crispy al pastor tacos it had huge chunks of fat!! I thought there was potatoes or onion pieces in the meat for some reason which not only was tough and stringy but they were not potatoes.. it was congealed chunks of fat!!! It was dripping in grease pools and every piece of meat had a huge chunk of fat on it. The flavor was fine but the texture and fat chunks really made it hard for me to get through it. I have had al pastor before and this is not it at all! I truly had higher expectations and would love to support a traditional mexican eatery but that was just beyond unpleasant. read more

We were in search of a descent michelada, yelped a few minutes and came up with this place. I'm truly surprised I've never been here. The place is designed oddly for a restaurant, there's seating toward the entrance then more through the walkway and then some in the back room. What's neat about the place is that it is filled with historical Mexican decor including some of Pancho Villa which makes for interesting conversation. Chips and salsa are on them, we ordered micheladas ($5 each) of course and they were much better than the ones I've recently tasted with a much higher clamato consistency. For the main entree we only had a milanesa Torta ($3.99) since we weren't that hungry. The torta was good but was a little to heavy on the mayo. Overall I think this place offers good food at an affordable price. The customer service was also great, I will definitely be back. read more

Really enjoyed dinner here with my family. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. The food was all fresh and authentic with great flavor. The prices were very reasonable. Chips could have been fresher and the quesadilla was microwaved instead of cooked which was disappointing but the green chili and tacos were amazing! They also made a special order or carne asada fries for my son which was nice. Definitely will go back! read more

Ordered fried ice cream and they gave me regular ice cream coated in corn flakes. Don't bother coming here. They clearly don't care about their product. read more

La Panda Mexican Restaurant II - an ice cream sundae - Mexican Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

I'm in love with a Gordita. And I'm not talking about a chubby chick. The carne asada Gordita combo was absolutely deeee-lish. Not a replacement for my La Indiana in La Puente CA. But darn good none the less. And La Panda's view of the Longmont Cemetery is more interesting than L.I's view of the old Pussycat theater in L.P. :o) read more

My family loves La Panda! The previous reviews are spot-on: This is straight-forward, heavy-duty Mexican food, well made and served up hot. La Panda isn't much to look at, but the prices are good, the portions more than ample and the service is fast. read more

I don't trust many Coloradan Mexican restaurants, but this is one that I can always count on. Friendly, prompt service and cheap prices. Great salsa, great choice of meats for tacos, tortas, and gorditas. If you enjoy Taco Bell, this place and this review is not for you. This is a for people who are actually serious about eating the good stuff, like cow cheek and pork skin tacos while polishing off a tecate michelada. read more

My fav taco hole in the wall!! This is place makes the best breakfast burritos in town!!

My aunt and I just ordered two breakfast burritos smothered. I ate all mine. Taste was mediocre. But the main issue is.... my aunt brought her burrito over to me. She said "I don't think you should order from there again" I said "I know. It wasn't all that" she said "look" she showed me her burrito. It had shrimp tails in it... not one two. So I called them. Not to ask for money back. It was only three bucks. But to tell them. "Hey do you remember me. I bought two breakfast burritos from you guys. I was wearing a blue shirt" Lady: "yea I remember " Me: "we had a burrito that had a shrimp tail in it" Lady: "oh ok I'll let him know" Click... she hung up read more

The best tacos ever! We'll back as often as possible. Nice authentic foods and perfect for families, or if your looking for a sports bar, they have one too- come hang up and enjoy. read more

I've ordered takeout from their restaurant on ken pratt, and it was really good. However after explaining that i wanted a beef burrito with lettuce, tomato, red chili and beans. I received a beef burrito with no red chili a few beans and onions. read more

Going back for more! This is the second time that I have ordered carryout from this restaurant and it simply does not disappoint. Their chili rellenos are delicious, fresh ingredients and the pork green chili is flavorful with added tomatillo and medium spice; I also had an Asada taco, the meat was perfectly seasoned wrapped in two fresh homemade corn tortillas and a cilantro Pico topping; I finished with a Bavarian filled churro; also very yummy! I have a hard time finding good mexican food and am happy to have found this place. read more

We stop at this little place a year ago and WoW! A diamond in the rough. If you want great Mexican food. This is the place to go. From menudo to simple taco you won't be disappointed. The price is reasonable. read more

Always happy with the food and the service. Chips and salsa cant stop eating them, all around great place

I was raised in Longmont where I began my life long love of Mexican food! La Panda does not disappoint! And now that I'm over 21, I honestly could eat their awesome food and drink their fabulous margaritas everyday! You can't beat the prices too! My BF knows better than to ask me where I'd like to go, I'll always want to go to La Panda! read more

Wonderful staff and excellent food. Tuesdays and Thursdays they have happy hour. The meat....mmm mmm definitely slow cooked and amazing quality. read more

One of the best Mexican places I have been to. My boyfriend and I try to get here once a week. Their tacos are AMAZING and cheap! I have never had a bad meal! Customer service is great and there is never a wait! read more

First, La Panda this is NOT a bakery. No baked goods for sale. They do sell wonderful Mexican baked goods at their shop on Ken Pratt Blvd. Food here is always good. Sometimes incredible. Nice breakfast items. Salsa bar can be hit or miss, but the main table salsa they serve is very good. Staff very friendly. Clean bathrooms. If you order Nachos, get the medium. It's huge! You won't leave hungry. read more

The last 4 or 5 times I have eaten at La Panda I have been sorely disappointed. The food has really gone down in quality. Huge bummer because this used to be my favorite Mexican place in Longmont! Boo. read more

Went for a Sunday Breakfast...Huevos Con Chorizo was a tasty dish...chorizo mixed in with scrambled eggs, fresh cut potato wedges and refried beans and tortilla. The great thing about this dish was that it was served HOT, not warm like many places. The comlimentary chips and salsa were excellent in that the salsa was spicy...not the bland stuff you get at the "Mexican" chains. Service was fast and friendly. I'll be back to try the dinner menu :-) read more

Delicious food & great deal. The margarita didn't seem to have any alcohol in it though!

Decent food. I had two carne asada tacos, one chicharon taco, and a carne asada gordita . The meat was tender and flavorful. The tortillas were muy authentico fresh made corn tortillas. I liked that they give you two tortillas per taco. That way you can fill them up with salsa, onions, and cilantro and don't have to worry about a soggy tortilla. They had a decent salsa bar as well. My son and I were the only gringo's in the place which can be a good sign that you are in proximity to some good authentic food.. One complaint was that we had to wait a while for refills and the check. There was only one lady covering all of the tables and she was working her butt off but slow to service our table. read more

Some of the best Mexican food in Longmont. Good service. Nice people. Food is very good -- breakfast, lunch or dinner. Legit micheladas. Chips can be too greasy and the salsas from the salsa bar are not fresh, nor very good. Could use an upgrade there. Fajitas are wonderful. Guacamole is made fresh. Prices are very reasonable. Atmosphere is traditional and fun. Some live music on occasion over the weekend. read more

Every now and then, we stumble upon true gems. La Panda is one of them. Best Mexican restaurant in northern CO that I know of. Here's why: 1. Authentic. 2. Cheap. 3. Fantastic food. 4. Never a line/wait. read more

My husband and I sincerely enjoy eating at La Panda. It is a bit of a "hole in the wall" looking place from the outside, but the inside is all wood and very cabin-esque. The prices here can't be beat, the service is consistently excellent, and the food is delicious. The food always comes out fast and the portions are generous. The margaritas are fully loaded, and they also keep better (later) hours than a majority of the Mexican restaurants in the area. If you want good food, service, and prices, this place is it!!!!! read more

It's been very good for years . They have s garnish bar that has 6 or 7 differant chiles and dips. The place is cozy inside like a cabin. If you like good Mexican food give it a try. Gary read more

The reason for my 2 star is because the tip I left on my credit card was altered to reflect $5 additional which I did not approve. I was notified by my credit card company that it appears I left a "very generous" tip and when I went back to look at my records, I noticed the tip was altered. It's not like I write sloppy and unlegible either. As far as I'm concerned, that's theft and I will not be going back to eat here. read more

Hadn't been here in a while but we were on a michelada quest and decided to stop in. The michelada was great and only $6.00. We stopped going to 3 margaritas since they have gradually increased their prices and now micheladas are $11.00!! That's ridiculous! This place is very affordable. My husband loves the tortas and my tacos were really good. I love the salsa bar but what is really disappointing is their chips are awful. I can't tell you how much this bums me out. They are thick, greasy and hard. It's such a shame because I would love to enjoy the salsa bar but with chips that are hardly edible, it's not possible. I really wish they would correct this! I would give them 5 stars if they would fix something so basic and easy. Despite having a little older decor the place is neat, tidy and clean. The staff was very friendly and service was excellent. read more

A friend and I tried La Panda for the first time yesterday and it was very good! We went with their special, which was an enchilada and chili relleno, rice and beans. It was ready in no time, was hot, spicy and flavorful, and the waitress was nice. The price was under $6...who could ask for more? While waiting, we checked out the decor...scorpion clock, mounted calf head (huh??) and pictures of Mexican cowboys along with Pancho Villa wanted posters. Hey, they all add to the sense of muy authentico. I'll be back. read more

Yum! Good authentic mexican food, not greasy tex-mex! Love the beef tacos!

Simple recipes made in an authentic way make this place an excellent find. I recommend any of the fajitas if you're looking to get the most for your money. read more

Try their Coctel de Camarones for something different! Loads of big shrimp in a cold and spicy tomato juice soup, with lots of cilantro, avocado, and jalepenos. Try a couple of chicken tacos with only onions and cilantro for lunch with a Mexican Coca Cola to chase it down (or a Pacifico with a lime)! Great tamales. Very cheap. More authentic and not New Mexico style food. I have been eating here for about 15 years, and the second generation family is now running the place and doing a great job. I love it when there is such a diverse clientele and everyone is happily eating, drinking, and enjoying a great meal. read more
