Tostada
Matthew R.

Fantastic food. Amazing tacos. A real local spot that should not be missed. So much to choose from.

Fajitas al camaron
Zane F.

Food: I had the fajitas al camaron. The rice and beans were pretty good. The shrimp, peppers, and onions were good but a little under seasoned. I liked the green sauce they gave, but it was such a tiny container, I wish they gave more. Service: The cashier spoke solely Spanish so it was difficult to try and order food, but the waiter was nice. Ambience: It's a little sketchy looking, but the food was better than the outside so I guess that's good. I did have to go outside to go to the bathroom outside though, and it was smelly. Overall: It was okay, but not the best Mexican food I've had.

Food was delicious and came out relatively quite. The staff was incredibly friendly and was a pleasure to meet. My boyfriend and I shared one meal and it was plenty for both of us, we even took some of the meat home. The beans were delicious and it came with 4 tortillas (we got corn and they were fresh and warm). I suggest trying the horchata, very good! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food.

Smothered Carnitas Burrito
John H.

Using the "Diners, Drive-ins & Dives" definition, by all accounts, Tacos Al Molcajete could be considered a "Dive," and after 5+ years of going here, it's one of my favorite Mexican dives in Longmont. Sure, it's a bit shabby looking for a gringo like me, but it's nice & clean. Honestly, I could care less what it looks like, because the owner & staff are welcoming & friendly, and the food is always super-muy-delicioso! I love both the carnitas & barbacoa smothered burritos. Savory juicy meats are wrapped in a never dried-out tortilla, generously smothered in a mild spicy green chille, then freshly-chopped lettuce & tomatoes are tossed on top. Sides of red & green salsas add some serious kick if that's your jam. On cold days, the inner dining room is fine, but I prefer eating outside on nice days. The covered patio is basically just a concrete pad with a bunch of brown plastic picnic tables under a rickety-looking metal structure. And while Longmont's Main St. can get a bit loud from time to time, it gets you out in the fresh air, while also shaded from our intense noon-time summer sun so you can take your time to enjoy the tasty dishes. BTW: no margaritas or cervezas here, so grab a large ice cold glass bottle of sweet Mexican Coke made with real non-gmo caña de azúcar (sugar cane) with your savory burrito... a perfect pairing!

Breakfast Burrito

Best breakfast burrito I've ever had! He makes his own chorizo. The coffee is Mexican (but byo cream).

Smothered burrito Al pastor
Tammy S.

On the way to see friends, my husband and I stopped at this local gem for some lunch and why a flavorful delight! While the place doesn't look like much from the street, the food will not disappoint. There are plenty of picnic tables outside and some seating inside as well. The staff is super friendly and welcoming! We ordered a smothered Al pastor burrito that was flavorful, filled with rice, beans and plenty of marinated pork! The green Chile is super mild so I put their hot sauce over everything and enjoyed every bite. My husband order the Chile rellanos plate and the chiles tasted fresh and delicious. The breading was a bit too soggy for me but that's a personal preference thing. My husband also ordered a taco Al pastor and a lengua taco. I had never eaten lengua so I decided to give it a try and I must say it was delicious. We will be back. I always appreciate a locally owned business with great food and a friendly staff. They make you want to come back. Thank you!!

Camarones al Diablo!
Pete R.

Thought I'd be daring and get the Camarones Diablo. They warned me, muy picoso! And they did not disappoint! The food was great and spicy. The ladies behind the counter were very sweet and helpful. I will come in again and try something that won't set my mouth on fire.

A simply decorated place, but comfortable. The owner and staff were great. The menus are in Spanish, but do NOT let that stop you, I was greeted almost like an old friend and was told what the different dishes were. I went for the Huevos Rancheros... and they were delicious... Very flavorful with the rice beans and sauce. I have not had such good ones in many years!! My daughter had various tacos. They were all great, nicely seasoned and not greasy! Her SO had a burrito, and it was a very generous portion and very delicious. Whenever I am in the area, I know where I will be stopping for a meal!!! Beuno!! Muy delicioso!!!

Jefe H.

Great tacos and sopes. I'm sure the rest is great too. Lots of flavor. Lots of authenticity. Salsas are basic but pretty good. Service is good and you won't wait too long. Very friendly. It's a bare bones dining area and men's bathroom is outside, which is part of why I dropped a few points. I would definitely stop in again and again. It's not 5 but more than 4 so I'd say a 4.4

Authentic and absolutely delicious! Guacamole was outstanding and a really generous portion! I have…read morea hard time turning down ceviche (in hot weather) and tortilla soup (in the colder months) and both are well executed. The place is always packed, which is always a good sign! Service is attentive and friendly.

I drive by this restaurant quite often and I noticed it is usually busy so I made a mental note to…read moregive it a try someday. I was in Longmont for the home and garden show and I was hungry so this was my opportunity to give Rosa's Cantina a try. They were very busy but I was greeted and seated promptly. The place is nice and they have a lot of seating and a patio but too cold that day for outdoor dining. I ordered the Burrito Tijuana which looked to be a good choice based on the menu description. The burrito was very good with a generous portion of steak. The chili smothering the buritto was flavorful but not very spicy. I wish they provided a little more pico salsa on the side, there was probably a teaspoon of pico. I enjoyed the buritto, it was sizeable, flavorful but not spicy enough for my taste buds. The server was good, she was attentive and pleasant. The place was clean, prices were reasonable, service was good as well as the food. Would I go back ? I might go back if the planets align but I wouldn't make a special trip. My only real letdowns were the shortage of pico and they don't offer free chips and salsa. I've come to expect and appreciate Mexican restaurants who still offer free chips and salsa.
