La Luz

La Luz

This local Mexican grill features some affordable and great menu choices with prices ranging between $5 and $11. Order your fish tacos, bean and spinach quesadilla, or whatever your stomach desires, and then stop off at the salsa bar with over 10 salsas to choose from and combine for the perfect flavor effect. Eat inside and enjoy the local artwork for sale or sit outside and enjoy the street watching in old town. There are two locations to choose from in Fort Collins, but either one you go to you can walk away with the pride of supporting a local business.

La Luz Mexican Grill

This is located in the heart of Old Town, with brightly painted walls with ever-changing local art for sale. I must confess that, for 4 years, I've ordered the same thing - fresh pescado tacos. Tender chunks of mahimahi marinated in pineapple juice and spices, available spicy or regular flavor, topped with cheese, onions, cabbage, fresh salsa and drizzled with white sauce. Lime on the side. The selection of flavored margaritas changes; the pomegranate will make ya pucker! Sit by the front window and people-watch.

I tried La Luz's new location towards the south of town and found the same quality, healthy Mexican food. According to the menu, the restaurant is not a chain and has beed locally owned since 1997. They use fresh ingredients, many purchased locally, and all food is prepared from scratch. Once again I had two, fantastic fish tacos on corn tortillas. Tempted to try a shrimp taco, chile relleno or fajita burrito next time. Chicken, beef, pork and many vegetarian options for burritos, quesadillas, tacos or salads. Load up at the fresh salsa bar mild corn salsa to fiery chipotle. Try them all to find your favorite.
