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.
