Socios brings bold twists on Mexican cuisine to Longmont

• Get it on everything from tacos and burritos to more original menu options like ramen and grilled cheese.
• Of course, Socios offers other meats, including steak and chicken. Most dishes also come with a veggie-friendly zucchini option.

The vibe: Socios' space is tiny and no frills, with a counter for ordering and a few tables.

• The staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable.

My thought bubble: I went with my favorite southwestern dish and preferred form of economic measurement: the California burrito.

• Socios' version replaced guacamole with green chile for a Colorado twist, and it worked well with the crispy fries and flavorful steak.
• Oh, and it was approximately the size of my thigh.

If you go: Socios is open daily from 11am-9pm.
