Caesar's Take

Chef and owner Sean Gafner combines the authentic Mexican food of his upbringing with modern cuisine and a love for Longmont. Same family behind Swaylo's Tiki and The Roost. Downtown Main Street location, a strong margarita program, locally sourced ingredients, and two happy hour windows daily. The toasted coconut margarita gets mentioned in almost every review worth reading.

What to order
Toasted Coconut Margarita, Skinny Jalapeño, and the Coin Style Marg are the cocktail anchors. Crispy cauliflower taco, birria tacos, seared ahi tacos, and the Birria Ramen for something off the taco track. Rocks Marg at $8 is the happy hour staple. Street tacos drop to $1 each during happy hour.
Patio
Tables and picnic benches along the downtown Main Street sidewalk, umbrellas up. Easy street-side seating for tacos and tequila.

Signature move
Show up between 3 and 5pm on a weekday, grab a sidewalk table, order the Rocks Marg at $8 and a round of street tacos, and work through the taco menu before happy hour ends. The $6 house margarita is the entry point but the Toasted Coconut is the one worth upgrading to.
Good to know
Committed to no single-use plastics and sourcing from local ranchers and producers. All corn tortilla tacos are gluten free. Two happy hour windows daily, not just afternoons. The late-night window 8pm-close makes it one of the better late HH options on Main Street.
