Guacamole’s Mexican Restaurant

So this is my second time going there. First time I was buying for 8 people and it was ok. This time was dismal, at best. I went in to order a carne asada burrito to go. What I got after 15 minutes, they weren’t busy as it was 3:00 pm, was a joke. The tortilla was small and thin. The meat, which was maybe a tablespoon, was around 30% grease that dropped out of the foil, the bag and all over my car seat. My guess is that they just scraped whatever meat was sitting at the bottom of a gastro and spat it in. The beans, also about a large tablespoon, inside were probably watered down with water. The dimensions were maybe 5 inches long and 1 inch in diameter and it fell apart as I opened the foil. I couldn’t even hold the burrito to eat it and I’m Mexican. This was TINY. I paid $ 5.50 for the burrito, 1.50 (I think) for the can of soda and left a $ 3.00 tip. The lady was nice but service was slow. I should have taken a picture of the burrito, the bag and my car seat but I was busy and had to go. I will NEVER eat there again nor will I recommend ANYONE to even walk into that embarrassment. Negative 5 stars.

I go there almost every week, excellent street tacos, I usually get Carne Asada and Carnita tacos.

recommend by a friend to try the food here. I would have to agree the food was very good. Had carnitas tacos and sopas shredded beef. Recommend both :)

This place is pretty good. I’ve always enjoyed the food. However, both times I have gone they have been out of the pastor. Why can’t they prep enough pastor?! Losing one star for the inconsistency there. I come here specifically to get pastor and both times they have ran out. Hardly any places have pastor in Colorado, it drives me nuts!

Ok first let me say that I have travelled many times to Mexico (Baja, Central, Southern). I lived in San Diego for over a decade and ate at countless Mexican restaurants. A good Mexican restaurant leaves you with that extra satisfied feeling that makes you come back for more.
This place just like most Mexican places we’ve eaten at here in Colorado makes me want to hit any taco joint straight from the plane when I visit San Diego. The menu looked good with the pictures of the food but our food was way off from the picture. I’m not a fan of the smothered burrito so I ordered the combo that pictured (#2) a burrito that didn’t have that mystery sauce on it… speaking of that mystery sauce, it was a mixture of liquified cheese, beans, oil, salsa verde… it hides the fact that the meat is burnt and old tasting. The tamale tasted like it was in the freezer way too long and everything was just thrown together.
So I guess the search continues for fresh good Mexican food in Colorado

Omg, the food here is amazing. It takes a little longer but it is totally worth the wait. I had the Al Pastor tacos and chicken tacos, hubby had the barbacoa tacos. Wow. So good. Will be coming back!

The food is delicious! Just the right amount of spice. I love the sauces. I can honestly say this Mexican food is as good or better than AZ Mexican food!!!

I’ve had a hard time finding Mexican, not southwestern, food in Longmont, but I do think this place gets close. My husband had a burrito deluxe, which quite honestly was tiny for $ 7, but it was tasty. The second time I got him a torta cubana and I almost considered never visiting Guacamoles ever again after having sliced, cheap hot dogs in a torta, but I’m glad I have it a third try.
I work nearby and usually pack my lunch but one day I was craving a gordita, so I ordered a carne Asada gordita and it was delicious! The gordita itself tasted as if they used a reconstituted maseca rather than fresh masa, but I understand it would be difficult for a low-​volume sales joint to stock fresh masa. It was lightly crisp and nicely fried, the meat was tasty and the cheese was melty. My absolute favorite thing was their sauces. You NEED to try the Orange sauce. It is spicy and oh so flavorful. I can drink that sauce, but I have no idea what is in it.
So definitely visit this place but if you are in a hurry, call ahead.

We totally loved the Tacos Al Pastor! I also had a burrito supreme with the Al Pastor and practically licked the plate clean! Highly recommended. The inside of the place looks better than the outside. I wouldn’t have tried it except for the Unilocal reviews. Did not disappoint.

I went there for the first time today and promptly dropped my car keys down a floor drain between the counter and the ice cream case. The patrons in the restaurant and the owner/​chef were incredibly friendly and helpful in retrieving them. I ordered an assortment of the breakfast burritos and found them to be delicious and an excellent deal for the price. Will definitely go back! Thank you for your kindness!

Just came back from there. No cell signal so I couldn’t check in. As usual, there was a wide variety of food goodness but I just stuck with the tacos. They’re cooked up outside on a stand by a congenial gentleman who will get your order started and wave you inside to pay. He has his own tip jar at the stand, note to self for next visit.
They have a lot of different meat for tacos: pastor, lengua, asada, carnitas, chorizo, etc, today they were pre-​cooked and stored in bags to throw on the grill at the time of order. Fixings and salsas are outside at the stand, there are tomatillo, a creamy red sauce and a creamy garlicky green sauce as well. Both of the latter have a good kick to them, but nothing life-​threatening. He piles the tortillas high with meat, and cilantro and onions if you want. Ladling the salsas into the plastic cups and retrieving limes is left to you.
In the cases of the asada and the lengua I found the meat to be a bit tougher than I’d expected in some areas (perhaps some gristle or the like), especially in the case of lengua I expect more tenderness. The pastor, however was to die for. Very well done. The two creamier salsas were great and each had their own characteristics that complimented the meat well.
Fun experience, tried to speak Spanish and failed, had a very fun, messy time eating the tacos. I’ll definitely hit this place again due to its proximity to home/​work and the decent quality and authenticity of the tacos.

This review is exclusively for breakfast burrito take out.
My second time coming and I ask the woman cashier, «two breakfast burrito you recommend».
The value and the portion is just tremendous. I got one ham and one chorizo.
The flour tortilla is almost or they are like homemade. I recommend the ham breakfast over the chorizo.
Why such rave review… $ 5.40 is what it cost me for both burritos!

I paid $ 27 for a carne asada torta (sandwich), a Mexican soft drink, a beef enchilada and chile relleno combination, and juice. The torta was okay, not a lot of flavor and the beef enchilada looked like a meal from Taco Bell. I will not be back.

I got tacos at Guacamole’s for the first time a week ago. They were so delicious that I got them again this week.
Seriously, these are some of the most authentic tacos I’ve had outside of Mexico.
Try the hot sauces. The salsa de guacamole is so yummy and spicy — I’d order it by the gallon if I could.
To boot, the owners are very friendly. The restaurant is clean. And they sell half-​liter Mexican cokes.

Their tacos are mucho delicioso! I love the carnitas, with it’s semi-​crispy fried porky goodness with bits of moistness in between. Loaded up with cilantro, onions, salsa picante, a dash of lime, all on soft grilled corn tortillas = taco bliss. Their dinner plates aren’t bad either. To top it all off, everything is inexpensive.
Workers here speak spanish. After you order your tacos, be sure to go outside and tell the cook what you ordered. They will tell you this, but if no comprendes, it will be awkward. Probably wouldn’t hurt to brush up on your conversational spanish before you order. If anything, just say ‘gracias’ and enjoy your food.

My buddy and I have been searching Boulder and Longmont for the best Tacos
Current Ranking: # 7 out of 9
Food: The tacos were just OK. They had good flavor and I did devour them but compared to near by taco places I would only come back if I couldn’t make it to those other places. They do have several other things on the menu which look great as well.
Service: Very friendly staff and the tacos were made to order which is great!
Atmosphere: While they make the tacos outside in the taco cart they do have seating inside the restaurant. Nothing fancy inside just several booths.

I just sent a note to the moderators — this restaurant is now called Guacamole’s. The location, 827 Ken Pratt, is actually on the southeast corner of Ken Pratt Parkway and Ken Pratt Blvd/​119, behind the gas station. The Unilocal map puts it further southwest on 119.
Totally delicious! We’ll be back. I’d wanted to try Elohim for ages as it looks like the sort of place that would have real Mexican food. I had some Guacamole’s tacos at an outdoor concert event over the summer and got my first taste of their spicy salsas.
Today we tried the physical location. Excellent! The taco cart started working out front about halfway through our meal and some people ordered out there and ate inside. We ordered from the counter and tried three different platos — enchiladas rojas (in a spicy mole sauce), carnitas plate (succulent pork in spicy green chili sauce), and a half a pollo asado place. Slightly dry, but very tasty roast chicken served with grilled onions. Daughter loved it and was very happy with her order. All the plates came with rice and beans. We ordered some chips and salsa too, quite good.
They also have an ice cream counter with lots of varieties and they get huge pluses from our family for having a variety of aguas frescas. If memory serves: horchata, melon, pineapple and mango. Maybe one other.
Beautifully decorated inside too, quite different from the exterior appearance. I hope they stay busy! They had a steady stream of customers while were were there, in the Sunday witching hours when fewer places are open. So glad we went in! Apart from us gueros everyone else was a native Spanish speaker, good sign! I’m tired of north Americanized watered down midwestern bland ethnic food. :)
I want to try the caldos and some of the other sauces. Mmmm

Yum! Authentic corn shell soft tacos! I recommend the Carnitas and Asada tacos. The Chicharron was not crispy enough.

Now called Guacamole’s.
The restaurant was clean and warm. The food tasted ok but was not fresh. I felt that the prices were much too high and for that reason probably will not return. There are plenty of other restaurants that offer a great experience for the same price or less.

This place is just fantastic. I like food way too much, but I am giddy everytime I leave this place. So many Mexican places around here are pure crap. This place is simple and authentic. I always get either the carnitas tacos at $ 1.75 each or the Bandera burrito. Guy behind me ordered either menudo or the caldo de camerones. It looked fantastic.
