I'm in the area often and finally tried this oddly named Mexican place. Wow I wish I would have come sooner!! I had a carnitas taco plate that was very good. Meat, beans, rice and salsa were all fantastic, I'll be back! read more

This little hole in the wall place serves simple, authentic dishes, and they are really good. I had a barbacoa plate, served with fresh, hot tortillas. I also tried the carnitas, lengua en salsa roja, and we bought a variety of pan dulce to take home. The meat in all of the dishes was very tender and the sauces were deliciously spicy. The breads were very soft and fresh. There was plenty of food and the prices were reasonable. The service was friendly and quick. We'll come back often! read more

LA Panda Mexican Restaurant - Barbacoa plate - Bakeries Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

Overpriced for small amount of non stellar food. Before meal, only tiny little basket of greasy chips offered with no refills. Had no avocados available even though dish was supposed to have guacamole . Oh well, was charged the same high price for the entree anyway . Sodas high priced , and the whole place smelled like floor cleaner, not appetizing . read more

We were unsure about La Panda but wanted to give it a try. Man are we glad we did. We came back two days in a row as it was SO GOOD. The Al Pastor Burrito was one of the best I've had anywhere, not just in Longmont or Colorado. And the burrito was a solid size and only $5 if you don't get it smothered. I absolutely think everyone should try La Panda read more

There are many family run hole in the wall Mexican restaurants in Longmont. The menu in most cases are more or less the same and they are also more or less pretty good. I come to La Panda for one dish, it is the pan fried whole trout. The trout is fried to perfection and the green chili that comes with it just goes well with the fish. Since the fish is cooked to order, it does take a little longer to prepare. Perhaps I should try other dishes, but I cannot resist to order the trout every time I come here. read more

Much different than my first experience a few days ago. Beef fajitas were chopped into tiny pieces, very dry and lacked flavor. The rice and beans were served cold, chips were not crispy and flour tortillas were tough. The service also lacked, I requested jalapeños with fajitas and ask they leave off the lettuce, they must have forgotten. Unfortunately they've proven very inconsistent based on this experience. read more

Okay so when showed up to this spot, I thought to myself that maybe this wasn't the best choice. Boy was I wrong! The food was amazing! Our waitress took really care of us. The food came out really quick and it was delicious l. This place was amazing. I do recommend to others. read more

food is really good. costumer service is AWFUL theyre always in a bad mood. or mad , except the owner or his son. but the server is really moody, never wants to help. read more

Phenomenal Mexican food. I usually get carne asada and am blown away by the flavor every time, no matter who's in the kitchen. The vibe is extremely casual and no frills, which I love as a New Yorker turned Coloradan. It gets lively on weekend nights which is fun too. The other location is equally good. read more

Stopped here on my lunch break at work. Got the Al pastor gorditas, highly recommended. I will be back everytime I'm in the area. Thank you to the friendly staff for being awesome. read more

Fast tasty Mexican food in a diner/bakery atmosphere. Nothing fancy, just consistently delicious food. I eat mostly vegetarian so I can't speak to the various meats, but their non-meat options are good and filling, fresh toppings, and yummy green salsa with the complimentary chips. Decent beer options, good sized menu overall. I've always had excellent service too! Tip: You pay at the counter when you're done, and there are Mexican pastries and other treats you can impulse buy on your way out. read more

$7 for 2 mediocre breakfast burrito (Ham, eggs, cheese and beans). I asked the man behind the counter whatever breakfast burrito he recommended. The quality was there, especially the flour tortilla. Nice crisp taste, thin and very soft. It is indeed authentic as far as being Mexican. Burritos are small, in all of Mexico I have never found American standard size burritos. I'm happy with bringing the authentic flavor but don't bring the small sizes. After my experience with la panda I was not fulfilled, hopefully for future clientele of this place gets better servings. read more

Authenic Mexican food. This place has the best pollo ranchero that I've ever had in my eating career. Spicy but very tasty ranchero sauce on perfectly cooked chicken. Great dish! read more

Don't get the al pastor meat!!! Got crispy al pastor tacos. 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 fat! chunks of fat. (pics included) 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 gross. read more

I hadn't had authentic Milanesa in YEARS!...but this was so worth the wait. Perfectly crispy breaded steak, tortillas that make you wish you could curl up in them. Delicious! read more

This is a great place to get real Mexican food. The combination plates are a good deal - a lot of food for your $, but it is A LOT of food. My favorites are the a la carte tacos. They're simple but very yummy - two soft corn tortillas with your choice of meat (I usually get carne asada -moist and full of flavor,) fresh cilantro and onion. Ask for some lime wedges to squeeze over the top and you've got a delicious taco. Pair it with a bottle of Mexican Coke (sweetened with cane sugar instead of corn syrup,) and it's a perfect lunch. read more

This is as close to real mexico street tacos as I have had (in longmont). If you like "casita de durango" in broomfield, i think you will like this place as well. I had the abobada and al pastor tacos from the al la carte menu and they were fantastic. The chips are great and so is the green sauce they come with. The green sauce makes a nice addition to the tacos with a squeezed lime. read more

Nice, small, tasty, authentic, mexican food. The prices are authentic as well... authentically amazing very reasonable. I go there a couple times a week. One complaint: Potatoes undercooked every time, but maybe thats what their going for... read more

I'm 40 mins late to work, but I'm still going to stop at La Panda for a breakfast burrito!!! read more

LA Panda Mexican Restaurant - Bakeries Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

this place is okay. i usually order the chicken enchiladas to go .. the sauce is decent and the chicken tastes okay. it comes with beans, rice and lettuce and tomato. my biggest complaint. i had ordered some chips and salsa last time i was in.. the chips where good.. but when i opened the cup they put the salsa in .. it was the consistency of water. it was like eveything fell to the bottom of the bucket and they just scooped up the top which was all water. gross. i MAY be back and give it one more shot as i do like the enchilada sauce but so far this place has a strike 1 read more

Fav place to go for breakfast burritos & tacos they carry lengua tacos witch I love, prices are good, fast and friendly service always. This is definitely one of my fav spots in Longmont I have found! read more

I've been eating here since 2004 and every time I have eaten here it always hits the spot when I am craving real authentic Mexican food. I am convinced that their tacos beat everyone else's in Boulder COUNTY. read more

Definitely a fan, after my first visit today. Had the #6 - tacos with al pastor. Tacos were full of meat, shells were grilled, dish was served with a side of beans and rice. Delicious. Chips were thick and crispy and the green salsa was spicy. Already looking forward to going back and try the $5 margaritas along with my next meal. read more

I have been coming here for almost 20 years. It is difficult to find green sauce with enough heat. A great value for the money. I do not speak Spanish but have always felt welcome. Every time I travel to Longmont I always eat here at least once during my stay. I usually order the Smothered carne asada burrito. So good! read more

I love this place. Moved from southern CA to Fort Collins and was so sad at the quality/amount of Mexican restaurants up there. But, this place reminds me of home, maybe even better! And that's saying a lot! It's just a little hole-in-the-wall, but oh so good food! Love the carnitas plate, carne asada burrito, and the homemade tortillas and pan dulces. But, I'm sure anything is good here. read more

At first you might think this is a Chinese joint but make no mistake this is straight up delicious Mexican street food. The prices are so cheap and the Ala' Cart menu so diverse that it's almost too much fun to eat here. Get a Chile Relleno, some tacos, a cheese enchilada, go loco! A little of this and a little of that and usually I'm stuffed and only $6 poorer for the experience. It's places like this that have made me swear off of Tex Mex. Why are you still reading this and not in the car on your way here? read more

Had 3 tacos; 2 pastor, 1 asada - both were amazing. I'll definitely come back. Super cheap, super good.

I visited on Saturday and got a few cookies and sweet breads (pretty cheap 4-5 pastries for less than $4). Their sugar cookies are quite tasty as are their Conchas. I just wish they had the other cookies I like, the one with rainbow sprinkles. I found them at another local bakery and I will post a review of them next. read more

Top notch tacos in the city!!! Juicy and flavorful with a bakery next to restaurant to give your sweet tooth a taste with what they got

Imagine an oval plate with a carne asada beef and bean burrito smothered with spicy green chili with delicious chunks of pork and cheese- lettuce, tomatoes and guac off one side. Sounds like your lucky day right? Well how about all that for $3.50?! Si!! read more

Best authentic Mexican in the greater Denver area. I drive up from Boulder often to have La Panda!

Nice atmosphere. I'm upset that when my family and I ordered 3 meals that included 3 baskets of Tortillas the waitress only gave us 2 baskets with 3 tortillas. Overall the food was okay didn't really expect anything else since walking into a this place the lady's were Rude. read more

The food is as bad as their service and worse than the ambiance. Had tacos, they got the order wrong, driest pork ever! Why do people start restaurants if they cant even make the food decent? I don't suspect they will be around for very long. read more

Haven't heard any talk about this place, but came here on a whim. I like this a lot better than Elohim (now Guacamoles?). It was very busy for a place I hadn't hear about, which was a good sign. I ordered a chicken taco and enchilada. Was surprised that the cheese enchilada came with green sauce, but it was very good. Taco was soft taco, and was pretty good. The chicken could have used a tad more flavor, maybe a bit of a kick. But in all, for low cost and proximity, I like it. read more

Love this place for the authentic Mexican cafe food and look. Not fancy- just good food, decent service, and tempting Mexican baked goods. It's rare that we don't leave with some goodies to take home. I usually get soft tacos - pork ( al pastor or carnitas) or chicken, unless I want something exotic. I've also had gorditas and hot dishes, with the rice & beans. None of us has had anything we didn't like. There's another La Panda on Main St in Longmont. I haven't tried it. read more

Stayed over night and came in lunch. Smothered burrito was super authentic. Kitchen was jamming Mexican tunes and the bakery had the pan dulce so I knew it was as authentic as it gets. Food was great, horchata was great. Good hole in the wall for Mexican food. read more

Best and most authentic Mexican food in Longmont. I grew up in Texas and they have the same northern Mexican authentic food I grew up on and loved, so when I moved here and found this place I was happy and feel a little piece of home every time I go there. And by every time I go there I mean twice a week at least! Excellent breakfast tacos every time and I have never had a problem here, and the pastries are to die for, but come in early so you can catch a churro because they only do a few for the day but they're definitely worth getting! read more

I am come here regularly for over 20 years. The very best food. I love the smothered burrito with lengua. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the whole country. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

Love this place. Excellent food for a VERY reasonable price. Ambiance is low, but we like the 'divish' feel.
