Hi foodies in Longmont Colorado today I have some good news to share. If you love Mexican food the popular place Teocali cocina is about to open up on 5-25-2024.  They are located at 460 main st in downtown Longmont.  Hours they are open 11:30am- 9pm.  They also have two other locations in Arvada and Lafayette.  I have never eaten here but from what I heard most of the food is gluten free or can be made gluten free.  They recommend that you make reservation online.    From what I saw on the menu it looks good a little bit more on the pricy side but this is modern and hip place.  Most of the tacos were around $5. But they had dishes you don't see at other place like mango habenero cerviches, blistered shistito peppers, big eye tuna wraps, pork bell tacos,  They also have main dishes like Adobo tuna, birriria de res it has braised beef short ribs and bone marrow, pork shank and more.

Hi foodies in Longmont. One of the first places I tried at the parkway food hall was the shawarma shack.   They sell wraps, gryos, bowls and more.  They had chicken, lamb, and falafel to choose from. I got the chicken gyro, fries, and a drink it came out around $22.    It took about 10 minutes for my food to come out.  You can watch them make the food infront of you. I didn't see them cooking the meat on the spits grill idk if they have one in the back?  The chicken was a little dried and under seasoned.  They also put to much sauce on mine. It was ok but compare to spitz I tried out last week. Spitz Mediterranean was better and better deal.   Everyone has different taste. Go give it a try atleast once if you don't try you never know if is good or not.  Thank you for reading my blog about Longmont

Hi foodies I was at Longmont Colorado  Costco this week when I saw a new item at the deli section.  For $4.49 a lb they had beef/pork meatballs with pasta and sauce. Most of the packages weighed 4+lbs.  It comes with 6 large meatballs and I say it was about 1/4 lb each.  I saw the workers making the meatballs  so you know is handmade.   The pasta was thick rigatoni and it was perfect to catch all the sauce.  It was also soft and tender and not mushy.  The sauce was good and tasted like the Kirkland brand sauce.   Overall it was good and I got 3 big plates out of it so it was definitely worth the money and I would get it again. 

Hi foodies in Longmont.  I got good news for people who love chicken wing and fries .  For a limited time buffalo wild wings is doing all you can eat boneless wings and fries for $19.99.  Is only available for dining inside and only on Mondays and Wednesdays.   For $19.99 is this really a good deal?  A 10 piece boneless wings is $13.99 and for 20 piece is $27.99.  So you have to eat atleast 20 pieces or more to make it worth it.  After couple beers and drinks and lots of fries how many wings do  you think you can really eat?  Lmk if you think this is a good deal?  Did you notice they can only offer boneless wings but not the real chicken wings? Many think boneless wings are chicken nuggets?

Did you know Colorado is one of the few states that don't have any Aldi discount grocery stores?  Aldi currently has 2381 stores in America and they are in 40 different states.  Studies have shown food items are cheaper then Walmart.  The reason why is cheaper is because everything is Aldi brand items. Same concept as trader Joe's. They are able to pass on the saving and better qulatiy control.   On march 2024 Aldi said they will be opening 800 more stores in next 5 years.  They also bought popular grocery chain called Winn Dixies and they will be converting some Winn Dixies into Aldi stores.  We could see Aldi enter Colorado market as is a popular place plus with king soopers and safeway trying to merge and selling over 90 stores? I never been to Aldi but from what I read and seen sounds like a grocery store I would go often. Is cheaper then Walmart and better quality.  Lmk if you would love to see Aldi in Colorado or longmont?
