As you've probably noticed, gourmet food trucks are all the rage these days. With low overhead costs and easy mobility, more and more chefs are taking to to the streets. But one of the Front Range's best food trucks has made the leap back into the brick-and-mortar world -- with dazzling results. Comida, located in Longmont's Prospect neighborhood, opened last year and quickly became one of our favorite local spots to eat.

Putting an inspired spin on classic Mexican street food, pretty much every last thing we've tried has delivered incredible deliciousness, from tacos to gorditas and tostadas to quesadillas. The offerings can be out of the ordinary too -- there are some really out of this world, truly adventurous flavor combos here. Por ejemplo, the Sirloin Situation taco is made up of slow cooked sirloin in Negra Modelo over smoked gouda sweet potato mash with roasted onions and house crema. Even if you're not sure what that would end up tasting like, trust us, it's amazing. Comida's setting is perfect too: lively, friendly and very pink. Throw in a great bar, with local beers on tap and a magnificent margarita, and you've got one of Longmont's best restaurants.
