    Beef Burrito
    Judi B.

    This place sits in a shared parking lot with a broken down motel. I didn't have high hopes, but yelp reviews don't typically lead me astray, so I persevered. We were initially confused since the food truck was operational in the lot next to the motel but I ventured forth into the restaurant. It's much smaller inside than I expected, but they make room for everyone no matter what. We were seated immediately....and luckily. There is a steady stream of patrons that visit, be it for a to-go order or dining in. I don't believe the entrance door ever fully shut. Our menus we're a little sticky, but the food smelled delicious...so I didn't mind. We first had our chips and salsa. Dang good! That salsa is crazy fresh, chock full of fresh tomatoes and cilantro...my perfect blend. The chips were crispy and salted enough to compliment the salsa. I honestly couldn't get enough of either. They do give a basket free with dining in orders; subsequent baskets are charged (and I would have paid it). Drinks came out in huge glasses, which was very nice. I ordered the 3 fish tacos (they will not split fish, so it's 3 fish or shrimp, no combos). Hubby got the burrito with ground beef (filled with refried beans, red sauce, rice and cheese). Food came out faster than I expected as the place was pretty busy. The fish was covered with a nice crema, lettuce (I'm used to cabbage), onions and cilantro. I didn't have high hopes. I was instantly regretful of my hesitation. The fish was fork tender and incredibly fresh. Just a light sear on the outside. The crema was plentiful and the onions, cilantro topping was perfect. I would have still preferred cabbage over lettuce, maybe a fried fish, but for getting exactly what I ordered off the menu, it was a home run. Hubby raved about his burrito...he finally found a burrito that was flavorful and juicy without making a mess with sauce. He actually finished his meal before I did because he loved it so much...and he's the slowest eater known to mankind. The price for everything was incredibly affordable, I almost felt bad paying as little as I did for great food and service (made it up with tip though!). Everyone there was so friendly and helpful. We can't wait to go back!

    Honestly, best tacos we've had so far. Small dining area inside the restaurant so be prepared to either wait or go out towards the back and order from their food truck. Service was 10/10. Food 10/10. Please give this place a try...SO worth it.

    My wife said this is the best Mexican food in Idaho. She saw the Yelp review and we decided to go here. There is a food truck in the back, and the seating inside is very limited. My wife ordered a Modelo beer for me, but the waitress brought out two. Beer in general doesn't agree with my wife so I got two beers. Great for me. My wife had mixed fajitas with chicken and beef. She said it was fresh and outstanding. I ordered the carne asada and it was delicious. The food was fresh, the service was outstanding. We are taking our adult daughter next time she is available. This place is worth stopping at and please bring them your business. You won't be disappointed. Thank you so much.....

    Wow! What a great little spot for authentic Mexican food! I have seen this place for years and finally made the decision to stop and try a few things. Repeating what other reviews have said, this place is tiny inside. I counted exactly 20 seats. But I went for a late lunch, around 2:30pm, and there were only two other people in the place. It did seem quite a few people came in for to-go orders. The salsa that came with the chips was delicious and spicier than most places. I put on everything else I ordered. Went with the tostada de ceviche and a sopes with carintas. Both were amazing. The carintas is one of the best I've ever had. And the ceviche was great, not too watery, very fresh. Service was friendly and food came out in a good amount of time. Everything on the menu was reasonably priced. I grabbed a to-go menu because I will definitely be back. Can't wait to also try their taco truck behind the main restaurant.

    Ooof what a gem! A great classic Mexican eatery! I can't believe I've spent all this time driving past this place but never stopping by. My husband and I were out and about in Nampa and our stomachs started growling, and as we drove by this restaurant as we have done so many times we decided to make a U-turn and stop in for some grub. The inside is small, like really small. I don't think it could fit more than 20 patrons comfortably. As we ate our meal it seemed like a lot of regulars ordered take out. I began my meal with a delicious margarita that was beautifully presented in a light blue glass with a perfect salt rim. It was delicious, more sweet than I'd like but still good. If you prefer your drinks strong I suggest you make that clear. My husband enjoyed a classic Modelo. For food I bellied up to one of Aguililla's many combination meals - #3. Shredded Beef Enchilada and Chile Relleno (served with rice and beans, $9.75). Every bite was delicious! Served piping HOT, the chile relleno was fantastic and the shredded beef in the enchilada was perfectly seasoned. I wish I could have eaten slower to savor every bite but it was so damn good! One of those meals that keeps your tummy rumbling at just the thought of it. If you're a fan of this dish, you gotta try it at Aguililla's. My husband picked the Chile Verde Burrito ($9.50) with shredded beef and a side of rice and beans. I think I enjoyed his dish more! There was a generous amount of tasteful, tender beef and the verde sauce was to die for!

    Super Nachos with shredded beef.

    We were recommended to try Dos Caminos and we really wanted to like it…read more NOTE: This has nothing to do with the aesthetics of the outside or the inside NOTE II: This is a family business with quite possibly three generations working. NOTE III: The refried beans are made with pork lard and not vegetarian Entonces - Anyways, there were not a lot of options for me so I decided on the Fried Buffalo Cauliflower with Mango Habanero. The tacos presented well but there was absolutely nothing sweet and spicy about the Mango Habanero. It was not sweet or spicy and was more bland than anything. My wife ordered the cocktail de Cameron - the shrimp pre cooked frozen and defrosted. The sauce was more ketchup than anything else. She was very disappointed DISCLAIMER: Our server did stop by multiple times and we didn't say anything. There was nothing to fix. She also seemed in a hurry to release us from the table as the moment I finished my tacos she scooped it up. I truly respect the family business but our experience was not a good one. Wish the family all the best.

    Loved this restaurant and went back literally the next day with some friends. Word to the wise it…read moregets very busy... so prepared to wait. They do take reservations for parties of eight or more and there's a bar in the back if you need a margarita while you wait!
