   We love this place! Great food! Reasonable price. Good service. Only issue is that it is busy so go early and make a reservation!

   Everything was great. But every time I’ve been there, I’ve found it to be in the chilly side. Never very warm because of both doors being in close proximity. Overall a great place!

   Loved this place. Delicious food and portions are generous for the price! Service was average after we got the order in. Seemed like the server was eager to turn our table or we were an annoyance. Oh well. We will definitely go back.

   It’s a great space. It was just really cold in the restaurant.

   Wonderful, unique food and drinks with very friendly service. High-quality, fresh ingredients. Gorgeous bar and overall look. Try the salsa with the peanut base - original and soooo yummy! This is simply our favorite spot in Longmont.

   Very pretty and comfortable room, attentive and friendly service -- but the food really misses the mark. Fresh fish plate was...fresh, but had little taste. Carne Asada had a very undercooked hangar steak, long grizzle tendons, tough, no taste. There were a few decent potatoes, rice and beans were as expected. The only moderately tasty plate was the pork shoulder, in a rich dark salty sauce. Chips are too thick and come across as stale, salsa trio was just average at best. The spicy infused marg was quite good, a small standout in quality.

   It was lovely, the only thing I would say is it was chilly and I had to keep my coat on the entire time. I understand that people are coming in and out the door, but I’ve been a little bit warmer. I would’ve been great.. Loved it overall!!

   Authentic Mexican food with melt in your mouth meat and fresh juices for cocktails. Salsas that are made of more than tomatoes and onions. We enjoyed the sweet corn salsa that was delicious. The banana split dessert is not your normal "split" has caramelized bananas, strawberries, ice bream and some tpe of caramelized nut topping and it's outstanding!! Highly recommend.

    I am a huge fan of Teocalli and truly believe that they are an asset to downtown Longmont and the community. We have eaten there a lot and before that we ate at the Lafayette restaurant because we liked it so much BUT the last several times I have been there I feel like there quality of food and service is slipping. Time before last they were “out of lot of stuff” Certain beers( sorry we are out of that one) deserts (the banana split with carmelized bananas ( sorry we are out of that) out of 1 of the few 1-3 desserts on the menu. One of their best drinks ,the prospector , has so much mixer in it it may as well be a cucumber maragrita. This last time when I was there, for a birthday celebration and had 10 people with us , their service was SO poor .. one of our guests was never able to get a second drink because they kept “forgetting” about it. Also .. we were able to order the banana dessert and instead of coming on a plate (as usual ) so you can see what you are eating.. it came in a huge deep bowl .. were people had to dig into the bowl but you could not easily share it because no one could see what they were scooping.. not sure of the reason for this change but it makes me wonder if they are trying to give you smaller portions of this so they have a higher profit margin? Same with drowning the cucumber liqueur with so much mixer that it yields a higher profit margins (less alcohol). We ordered Guac and trio salsa to the table as an appetizer and for 10 people they brought us 2 tiny baskets of chips. Our grandson ordered the kids fish tacos and when we question led why he did not get his included sides they argued with us us that -he had already eaten them? I was greatly disappointed in this last visit thinking that the time before was just a fluke . I had bragged about the restaurant to all our out of town ,and local , friends. Only to have to apologize for the quality and service it will probably not be my first go to for myself and visitors anytime soon.
