We went on a Friday night and it was incredibly busy--which I always take as a good sign. Even with the crowd, they had us seated within ten minutes and quickly got menus in our hands. The menu had so many great options that it was almost overwhelming (in the best way). I ended up ordering a chicken chimichanga and an enchilada, and both were absolutely delicious--so good that I've already asked my friend if she wants to go back again tonight. We also ordered drinks, and those were just as enjoyable. The staff took great care of us, checking in and making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Overall, such a great experience and definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. Tons of places to sit whether you're a small party or a big one. They also have a lot of beautiful decorations all throughout the building.

I've been scouting the Treasure Valley for tacos and have found some good ones. This location is super convenient for me, but I won't be going back. Tacos are priced at $3.50 each, the most I've paid so far. My disappointment is with the carnitas tacos. Pork is so easy to cook and get juicy delicious meat, but these were the driest carnitas I have ever had. Seriously. Bad batch? I hope so for their sake, but I can find better consistent tacos for less elsewhere. Sorry Toros.

Come visit, you won't be disappointed!

Our waiter was so helpful and didn't overwhelm any of us at all! Super friendly and kind service. We started out with the triple dip appetizer and I personally really enjoyed the salsa. I thought it tasted really fresh and I couldn't stop eating it. The guacamole was also really fresh but I wanted a little more lime flavor to come through. However, everyone at my table agreed that we didn't love the queso. Unfortunately we just thought the flavor was non existent. We also got some drinks and thought they were really nice, I personally got the white wine and enjoyed it very much. Now I unfortunately forgot to take pictures of our food, but I do remember that I decided on both the Aloha, and the No Vacancy tacos. Sadly, I thought both were a complete miss. My Aloha taco had so much pork that I didn't really get any other flavor. And the vacancy had fresh ingredients inside it but it just felt very flat. I really wished that the tacos came with some kind of salsa or sauce as well. However, my friend let me try her lil Shrimp taco and I thought it tasted absolutely fantastic. Overall, I thought my experience with the service was great, but I don't really see myself coming back for the food. Maybe for some drinks though ;)

Alright don't know what to say except for amazing. If you want good Mexican food this is definitely the place to go. Not that long of a waiting time to Set or get your order. I'm very satisfied with everything that we had for dinner and both my son and I enjoyed our meal. This place offers a great price for the product of food that you get and the care goes in the croup making the food. Their chips are fresh and delicious and so is the salsa which in some restaurants like this you do not find being the norm. I will definitely find myself coming back here to eat later this week or next. Highly recommend read more

I've been in Idaho for 5 years, good authentic Mexican/Salvadorian food is HARD to come by out here. I'll have to say this is the best I've had since my moms home cooked meals. They deserve so much more recognition than they receive. Please stop by and try their delicious papusas and support this small business. read more

I had Albondigas soup over the weekend and now I'm obsessed to see who all makes it in the valley…read more Corona Village is on my way to work so I thought I'd stop in for a quick lunch. Walking in, I was instantly greeted by the hostess. She was very sweet. I got sat at a booth and my server came shortly after. He came with a basket of chips and salsa. I did try a chip and some salsa but my teeth were still hurting from my wisdom teeth removal. But from what I tried, the chips were crunchy and the salsa was fresh! I grabbed a small portion of the Albondigas soup and a cheese quesadilla for lunch. I didn't wait long. I was 1 of only 3 quests there. My soup came out beautifully plated and my quesadilla looked cheesy! My soup was rich in color and the meatballs looked good. I noticed carrots, potatoes and celery. The texture of the soup was more like a stew, it was thick. You can taste the tomatoe in the soup. The potatoes and carrots were cooked nicely and were easy to chew. I do wish there were more veggies to the soup. I got 2 pieces of carrot and a chunk and a half of a yellow potato. The soup was also heavy on the saltier side. I couldn't eat much of the soup as it got to be too much. My quesadilla was crunchy on the outside but unfortunately the cheese in the middle was still cold and not melted all the way. Which was a complete bummer since it looked so good! The venue is clean. The staff is super nice! My server did a great job taking care of me. He also had the prettiest eyes! But the food was just ok. I have heard great things about this joint so I do look forward to going back! Today just didn't hit for me but maybe next time it will.

There was a table next to us of approximately 10 people who were being very loud making it difficult to visit. I know they were out just having a fun time. I asked the waitress if we could be moved to another quieter part of the restaurant and she said "no" as they were short staffed and had only one person working. I noticed there were three people working. I again politely asked if we could be moved to a table a little farther away yet in the servers' area. At that point she snapped at me saying "this is a restaurant not a library". We were never moved and there were no apologies made. A very disappointing experience and lack of customer service.

The Tortilla Factory Mexican Grill

I don't believe I've ever dined here before but had dropped my car off at Discount across tge…read morestreet and had an hour to kill. As I look for three things at a Mexican place. 1. Central/South America landscapers or construction workers. Their presence is a very good sign! 2. A salsa bar with carrots and jalapenos in addition to at least four salsa coices. 3. The meat selection and specifically lengua, cow tongue. If att three are present, you are in for a really good meal. Sadly, none of the three were found, but they did gave fish tacos, which I ordered along with a Mexican Coke. While they didn't have hirchata, they did have an acceptable variety of appropriate Mexican drinks. I always start a plate by trying the rice and beans. If you can't get these right, there is little hope for anything else. While both the rice and beans were the right texture, neither under or over cooked, but I must note that the rice was not fried before being prepared, it was too fluffy. We always fry the rice at home before adding liquids to it. They were also on the bland side. The rice needs significantly more spice, the beans need a little roasted jalapeno and a little farm cheese on top. This would take them from okay to good, maybe even great! The tacos, first thing I looked for was if there was cabbage or lettuce. Lettuce if fine for most other meats, but cabbage is absolutely essential to the correct flavor profile. Also noted were cillantro and a little sauce. Sadly there is no salsa bar or else I'd have put some tomatillo salsa on them. I wasn't asked if I wanted salsa when I picked up my order. They use flour tortillas and while their flour tortillas were good, tasted at least locally made if not onsite, I expect corn. This feels like a somewhat authentic Mexican restaurant but toned down for the local Idaho pallet. Having lived in three of the four southern border states, and eaten in all four, and being married to a Mexican for forty years, I tend to look for the three things I mentioned, so will leave this place for the local, heat and spice averse diners.

They come with cheese, lettuce, and tomato. I much prefer corn tortillas, cilantro, and onions. We got our tacos with pinto beans, which were very good, and rice. We also had their guacamole - it was very citrusy and garlicy - kind of a fake taste. They have a good selection of soft drinks - they had one that was iced tea. I chose that and it was mostly water - the machine needed to be adjusted. Overall, not my favorite. The service was good - the server was nice, the food came up quickly and was served hot. So, overall, my feelings about the Tortilla Factory are mixed. I don't think I would return.
