Wow we saw some great reviews about this mexican restaurant as we stopped on our trip. Being from…read moresouthern California we are a little skeptical about mexican food in other states. We did not go wrong. We were kind of in a hurry racing a winter storm on our trip back from Boise so we decided on the buffet. We had Chile relleno, enchiladas, tamales, chimichangas, corn and flour fajitas, rice, beans, and a rice pudding desert. several very tasty sauces were on the buffet as well. We were astonished that all of the buffet items were so tasty. i especially liked the chimichangas and chile relleno. All of these items on the buffet for only $8. Oh I almost forgot the buffet also had authentic menudo. (tripe soup) This was the best mexican food we have had in Idaho ! I will be back.

Friendly service and didn't take too long.

What a step down. We loved their aquachile when we went a year or so ago. We had to come back. Back…read morethen they substituted octopus for shrimp in the aqualchile as my spouse is sensitive to shrimp. We saw they had greatly expanded their coastal Mexican concept with an entire picture menu of offerings, but no prices nor descriptions. So we just decided for a repeat - oh, the aquachile is ONLY available with shrimp? Well, a year ago... "it's only shrimp." - My spouse is allergic to shrimp. "We have other offerings." - So you won't repeat a year ago? --- Finally, "ok, but you won't like it. [Given the attitude, probably a correct statement.] And it's about a 60% higher price if you want octopus". [maybe cheap farmed shrimp versus frozen octopus?] We were traveling across Idaho and had not eaten that day. Still, I decide not to have anything. My spouse decides on a taco salad with shredded beef. She has it, I munch on the chips and salsa. Later [TMI - read if you wish], we had to make an emergency stop - she was feeling quite sick and had diarrhea. And we had already avoided shrimp. We won't be going back.

My partner and I loved this place when we dined in 2023…read more We tried them again in early November 2024. Actually made a special trip to visit since our first visit in 2023 was so amazing. I'm not sure more could have gone wrong. I have a shrimp allergy. None of their Aqua Chili's have seafood other than shrimp. in 2023 they were able to substitute octopus in place of the shrimp with only a $5 up charge. When we asked this visit they said they could not do a substitution. When we said they did this last year our server went back to ask the chef and the chef said to double the price of the entree. So we looked over the menu. My partner filled up on their free refills of chips and salsa and I ordered the taco salad. It was good in taste, reasonable in quantity of food. BUT...it caused me an upset stomach within 15 minutes of finishing my meal and then some diarrhea about three hours later. Not a good recommendation. I'm not sure it was food poisoning, it might just be a sensitive stomach to their ingredients. However I did not experience this discomfort last year. As to the service, it was not very good. We had to ask for water refills and salsa refills. The server was not friendly when we asked for no shrimp and please substitute with octopus instead. Overall not a good experience and they definitely have gone down hill in the last year. And their prices have increased. I will not return!

Their food is pretty good although the portions are fairly small for a Mexican restaurant. The…read morereason I'm giving a two star rating instead of a four star rating is that both times I ate at this establishment I was over charged 3 to 4 dollars and when I confronted them about it they said it was because I ordered something more expensive than what was offered on the menu which was not true, but if it was, why didn't the waitress mention it cost more. I will not be eating here anymore because of their dishonesty. I suggest all customers check their cost closely.

I had the prime rib dip and clown . My daughter had the soup, sandwich and salad combo and my son had the gluten-free flatbread pepperoni pizza. Everything looked amazing. The salads were crisp and cold. The clam chowder was delicious, although I'm used to it being a little more creamier, but it was still quite delicious. My wife's burger looked amazing but she felt the meat didn't have much flavor to it. My kids enjoyed their meals. We will definitely be back when we're in the area as the views were very nice being on the Snake river. The only bad part was they are not pet friendly and would not allow us to bring our small dog onto the patio so we had to sit inside the restaurant and look out the window and keep the car running so dog did not get overheated. The service was great and the waitress was very friendly and gave some great recommendations..
