Boulder's best Mexican eats: Locals' picks

What you're saying: "I love the 'New Mexico' versions of that state's heritage food at Santo ... It's not Mexican but Taos, Santa Fe," reader Sarabeth Mitton told Axios Boulder.

• She added that she plans to taste-test Cozobi Fonda Fina for happy hour, noting the attractively discounted price point.

"Wapo's for quaint, hole-in-the-wall ambience and excellent food and skinny margs," Jackie Fredericks wrote in.

• "Teocalli for a more upscale vibe, the best tacos (pork belly!!!) and great margs."

"My latest Boulder Mexican foodie love has been the nachos at Nopalitos. Pickled cactus for the win!" Heather Smilkstein said.

Meanwhile, Tom Ottem thinks "the best Mexican food in Boulder is Efrain's."

• "And may we observe a moment of silence for Juanita's on west Pearl St. It's been gone a long time, but NOT forgotten."

💭 Mitchell's thought bubble: I'm with you, Tom. Many a fun night in college started at Juanita's. And I love Efrain's, but I need to eat it in private because their food is HOT and there are tears and sweat and snot bubbles.
