We visited Cyclehops "Bike Cantina" with friends last weekend. Not somewhere I'd pick on my own but I'd like to try everything we have here.
If you want to bike over, you'll fit right in. We just drove. They let us, and our carbon footprints, in anyway.
What they say: https://oskarbluesfooderies.com/cyclhops-bike-cantina/
"Oskar Blues’ passion for cycling (CYCL) and craft beer (HOPS) is the inspiration behind CYCLHOPS Bike CANtina. In addition to experimenting with new south-of-the-border savors, we wanted to create an original, cycling-inspired hangout that would complement the bike culture of Longmont and the Colorado Front Range. Not only does this full-service foodery dish up tacos, tequila and craft beer, but it’s also the official retail home for the Oskar Blues in-house bike brand, REEB Cycles."
What I say: I'm not a bicycle or beer enthusiast so that part doesn't do it for me BUT they do have a super wicked double bike thing up in the front that looks fun. It's nice and open, lots of windows all the way around, colorful, slightly noisy.
Jason was the only one that had a beer so he'd have to give input on that but it's an Oskar Blues branch so I assume they have all the OB stuff.
We were technically there for the brunch menu. Our friends both ordered some version of enchiladas, which both looked pretty tasty.
Jason ordered some kind of cheesy stuffed pepper with bacon. It was interesting. Definitely something experimental.
I ordered the Relleno Avocado with 2 eggs.
RELLENO AVOCADO:
CRISPY AVOCADO STUFFED WITH CHORIZO, ASADERO CHEESE+ ROASTED SALSA TOPPED WITH TWO EGGS, PICO + COTIJA CHEESE $12
It's literally a halved avocado with chorizo and all the rest on top, 2 eggs on the side.
It was definitely tasty and different. Chorizo and avocado is nice together. But I could have made it at home for a few bucks and had a lot more food. If you get it right you could buy 12 avocados for $12.
I will say that their chips were delicious. Thin and crispy, warm and salty. Yes.
So the moral here is to go for the chips and salsa and grab a beer while you're there.
Don't Drink and Bike.
Atmosphere: Peppy and bikey.
Service: Meh. Inattentive but not unpleasant.
Price: Excessive.
Food: Good but slim. Chips are delicious.
Lesson: I should have gotten the tacos.
Going back: Unlikely, but would return if someone else wanted to.
