    A solid stop that's inexpensive on your roadtrip. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality, flavor, and cheapness. Total meal for me was under $10. Tacos are about $2.20 each. Refreshing sight! I got the Aztec DF taco and the chirriga taco. Both were great. The sandwiched cheese in between the two tortillas is tasty. The tortillas held together well. Yum. Friendly service and didn't take too long.

    Thier Chili con Carne was insane! Super tender pork, expertly spiced. My wifes burrito was also delicious. Easily the best I've had from a Mexican restaurant. Really friendly staff. Do yourself a favor, and check this spot out!

    2 traditional tacos (al pastor and cabeza) and 1 Aztec DF (carne asada). Delicious.

    Best decision to stop here on my drive from Boise to Idaho Falls. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and swing by for some tacos at a minimum. I opted for two traditional (al pastor and cabeza) and one Aztec DF (carne asada). Delicious. All meats cooked/prepared perfectly, and the specialty taco was an added bonus. The staff is super friendly and attentive, and the ambiance gives family restaurant vibes. All great reasons I'll come back anytime I'm driving through.

    Taco plate, different meats, were really tasty.

    Now these were some great tacos! The service was good, our server was polite and helpful. Salsa was a bit to watery, had a hard time scooping up anything of substance. But just going for the tacos, I will definitely go back.

    Wow we saw some great reviews about this mexican restaurant as we stopped on our trip. Being from southern 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.

    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!

Firstly, we had a 6pm reservation through Red…read moreTable, but it was going to start raining between 5 & 6 and since we were walking we decided to head over at 5 to have a cocktail in the bar. We were able to get our table early which was great! Our Knob Hill Manhattan cocktails were served chilled to perfection and went down nicely. We started with a couple of appetizers, scallops and foie gras. The scallops were ok but the foie gras was the winner. What a combination of flavors! My mouth was very happy. We were seated at a table next to the window and in front of the fire place. A very nice table indeed. The restaurant is very cozy with great ambiance and I never felt that it was too loud and the service was great. Dinner for me was the Colorado Bass, cooked nicely with a crunchy skin. My friend had the pappardelle bolognese. I had a bite of that and it was delicious! Dessert though....Amaro Affogato. (Fun to say and defined: Bitter Drowned) A great way to end the meal. Get it.
