Here’s your official Longmont Taco Trail:

🌮 Jefes Tacos and Tequila

šŸ“ 246 Main St

A stylish taqueria and tequila bar bringing serious street taco energy — think carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, and chorizo. Pair your picks with inventive cocktails or a local draft in a lively, modern setting that’s perfect for taco night with friends.

🌮 Josie’s Tacos

šŸ“ 345 Main St

A cozy, family-run favorite known for breakfast burritos, authentic street tacos, tamales, and flautas. It’s classic comfort food made with love — the kind of place that feels like it’s been feeding the neighborhood forever.

🌮 Teocalli Cocina

šŸ“ 460 Main St

Regional Mexican flavors in a sleek Main Street atmosphere. Start with guac or ceviche, then dive into gourmet tacos like birria, carnitas, or pollo — bold flavors, beautifully done.


🌮 Summit Tacos

šŸ“ 237 Collyer St

Casual, colorful, and known for taco flights (yes, flights). With vegan options, a festive patio, creative events, and a beloved happy hour, this spot keeps things fun and flavorful.

🌮 Santiago’s

šŸ“ 215 Main St

A local staple for affordable, no-frills classics. Street tacos, crunchy hard shells, and even Indian tacos — it’s family-friendly, fast, and always hits the spot.

Downtown Longmont isn’t just walkable — it’s snackable. Make it a solo taco crawl, a date-night detour, or a ā€œjust one more stopā€ kind of evening.
