    Tacos
    Justin N.

    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

    Pan fried whole trout, cooked to perfection.

    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.

    Located in a small shopping center

    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.

    Breakfast smothered burrito

    Im from California so i have been frustrated trying to find good mexican food, with real spice in the salsa! This place satisfied and i left happy!

    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.

    Breakfast burrito with real delicious flour tortillas

    $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.

    Milanesa

    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!

    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.

    Creative Cakes I…read morefound Tasty Cakes on yelp while searching for a bakery to make my sons birthday cake. I was impressed with the work that was presented online and wanted to patronize her business. The communication between us was fairly good with the exception of a blip when there was a family emergency. Kellie was pretty nice throughout the entire process but I did feel a little like I was bothering her with questions. I figured since I paid her $115 for a 8 inch round cake, that it was okay to make sure it was being made the way I envisioned. At some point, I went to the baking section at Michael's and looked at an 8 inch pan and thought it was super tiny. I inquired about how much it would be to make it 12 inches. I've read that she charges by the slice but I was hoping that she could cut me a deal but it didn't happen. She just said that it added 'x' amount of slices and will be an additional $55. No worries, it's a business and I completely understand. My total tab on this cake was $170. We threw a few ideas around but I gave her complete freedom to do as she wished. I'm usually hands on with everything but thought it would be nice to just let an expert do their jig. When my babies big day came, the cake was nice. It was detailed and a lot of work was definitely put into it. It was just not my personal cup of tea. Nonetheless, it was a good center piece. I ordered a bubblegum cake and I wish I didn't. When I first discusses flavors I asked about bubblegum and Kellie said that kids like it. I wanted something different so I thought it was a good choice. I only cut 20% of the cake and not one person ate a complete slice. I threw a majority of the thing away the next day. I was a little disappointed. One kid asked me what flavor it was & I said, "bubblegum." In which he replied, "Oh yeah, it tastes like bubblegum...with puke in it." I'm not blaming Kellie for my flavor choice but I would have appreciated some honesty. I suggest sticking to a normal flavor. Besides the taste, the cake wasn't very moist. I believe she started to bake on Thursday for my Saturday night party since she emailed me on a Wednesday stating that she was going to get started the next day. I know the giant (Jack the Giant Slayer theme) on top of the cake was made later because the color was more vibrant and the texture was a lot better than the main cake. This is a "cottage food" business and I really wanted to love it with all my heart. I just feel that it was a little pricey for the overall experience I had. Given the type of home based business it is, I wish she could have worked out a deal with me for a bigger sized cake. I guess I just have a chip on my shoulder because I could have ordered an amazing half sheet of scrumptious Haupia or Hawaiian Paradise cake from the notorious Kings Hawaiian bakery for under $50 if I were still in California. Tasty Cakes Cakery is a great local choice if you have the money to drop on a custom cake. Kellie does great work. If I were to do it differently, I would choose a better flavor, draw out exactly how I wanted the cake to look & ask if she could bake the cake the day before. I would have loved to meet her in person but we did everything through email, postal service to send payment, and text. She also asked if it were possible to change my drop off time because her husband was playing a game someplace and wanted to watch it, which was okay with me. I was just in school at that time, so my husband was there to receive the cake without me. Anyway, sorry for the novel. I just wanted to share my experience with my yelp community. Check her out and decide for yourself :) Solid 2.5 Stars rounded up to 3 for an A-OK experience.

    Amazing cakes made by one woman! She is self taught and you would have thought she went to years…read moreand years of school. She made my graduation cake for massage school, my son's birthday cake this year, and I have eaten her delicious cupcakes. EVERYTHING was fantastic. She puts a lot of time and detail in to her pieces of art. I can tell she really enjoys what she does. Her prices are reasonable, especially for what you get. I will never order a cake from anyone else again.

They offer natural, organic,…read moreand imported cheeses, cured meats, specialty oils, spices, olives, chocolate, and other unique specialty foods. They also have wonderful French & Italian food items, and kitchen and dining ware. There are children's gifts, beeswax candles, gift wrap, gorgeous jigsaw puzzles, glassware, French table linens, aprons, and much, much more. It is worth the experience to visit this extraordinary shop! The building was formerly the Power & Communications Building, which Cheese Importers took over in 2012. The shop is gorgeous, and the buyers are fantastic, stocking it with so many beautiful items that you will not easily find in other shops or online. The staff is friendly and informative. The prices are very high, and I don't recommend buying items you can find in your local grocery store or gift shop, but if you find interesting, unique, and beautiful items that you love, then it is worth spending the money, in my opinion. This is a great place to find exceptional gifts, especially for someone who likes to entertain. Must take home a fresh French baguette and some caramels! There is a parking lot in the rear of the building.

    What a lovely experience! The only thing I wish they had were tiny samples of different cheeses…read more Some cheeses we would have liked to try before purchasing for $10-$12 a pop. But the market feel, the variety, the customer service, patio, cute atmosphere, selection, and warm baguettes made it quite the experience. We were impressed and I would drive all the way from Littleton to experience it again. We basically built ourselves a little picnic and sat outside on the patio to enjoy it all. Bring your own plates, utensils if you plan on doing what we did. We made do with the plastic knives and napkins from the bakery, but it would have been better if we came more prepared. Lovely.
