    I had come here once before we moved to Idaho. We came here today (Tuesday) for lunch, almost two…read moreyears after we moved to Star. It was about 12:45, and the place was pretty crowded. All of the booths were taken, and we were left with the enclosed patio area, which was pretty empty. The young blond woman (who would turn out to be our server, and who's name I have forgotten) told us we could sit anywhere. We chose a table close to the street. They had their overhead heaters on, a little too warm for me, but my wife enjoyed them. The table was plain, with uncomfortable metal chairs. Our server brought out a carafe of water, which is all we wanted. We both had burritos; my wife chose the carne asada, and I the pollo asada. Mine came with nicely seasoned, tender chicken, crema, and tater tots. I think there might have been more ingredients. They also have a verde and a roja salsa, both of which were very tasty and packed some heat. The large flour tortilla was nicely browned, and both of our burritos were very flavorful. My only complaint is that one end of my burrito did not have any chicken. So, more chicken, otherwise delicious. Our server did a very good job, checking back with us a few times. She was friendly and attentive. I did not care for the noise level. It was very loud, though I could still hear my wife speaking. However, we had a larger party of women near us that were extremely loud, until they received their food, and then they quieted down. But, not a great place if you want to have some quiet conversation. However, we will most certainly be back.

    As someone exploring the local culinary scene, I was excited to try Spitfire Tacos + Tequila. The…read moreaesthetic is spot-on--modern decor with a lush, green feel and ample seating between the two patios and the interior. Drink & Appetizer: I started with the Cabo San Fresca. It's a sophisticated cocktail where the elderflower and mint really shine. For an app, I tried the Street Corn Name Desire. Note: it is served off the cob. Despite a few salty chips, it was a delicious starter. The Tacos: 1. Pollo Asado (GF): 5/5. This is a must-order. The chicken chicharrones add a great crunch, and the guacamole balances the heat beautifully. 2. Korean BBQ Pork Belly: 3/5. A very sweet/vinegar-forward profile. If you enjoy a sweeter taco, you'll like this, though it felt a bit heavy for me. 3. Baja Mahi Mahi: 1/5. Unfortunately, this was inedible. The breading was so greasy it masked the toppings, and the fish was quite chewy. Service Reflections: I arrived just after 3:00 PM (Happy Hour is 3-5 PM), but I wasn't given the HH menu or informed of the specials. I didn't realize the oversight until I saw the signage by the host stand at 4:01 PM. While my server Emily R. was pleasant, I was surprised the kitchen or service staff didn't address the untouched Mahi Mahi taco or offer the promotional pricing earlier. I'll likely return for the Pollo Asado and the atmosphere, but I hope to see more proactive service regarding Happy Hour and food quality checks next time.

Lively dining room, bar, and outdoor patio. Good selection of cocktails and beer. Ordered the flautas as an appetizer (not pictured as our hunger won over the camera). Light, fried tortilla full of chicken with a tasty cheese dipping sauce. Yummy. Peruvian chicken was good, especially their green sauce. Good size portions of their potatoes and veggies. Chicken sandwich was excellent. A bit spicy at first (I was warned by the waiter) but it settled down. Great bun, fry on the chicken, and flavors. Their fries were delicious but their ranch sauce is excellent! Hats off to their sauce chef. All around very tasty!

Both were fresh and the fries had the right amount of crunch. We had the shrimp pasta dish and the sauce was very different but tasty. Fresh pea pods topped the dish. We ended the night with decadent huckaberry cheesecake. So creamy and topped with fresh fruit. I love the atmosphere and the people. Great experience. Only negative is bathrooms need to be cleaned more regularly.

Not much standing or waiting room and the dining area is very small, so there were no seats. It took 15 minutes to order and another 15 to get me food. So not a quick lunch. Of course, have to start off with the street tacos. For $3.75 a pop, I was hoping for a little better to be honest. Al pastor and Carne Asada meats were both tough and chewy. The best one was the marinated chicken. Good, but not great. There are some other items I might try to round out a fuller opinion, but street tacos are my baseline for assessing how they manage the fundamentals.

    We were looking for something different the other night and came across El Tesoro's Tortas and…read moreTacos. My wife can be a little picky about trying new spots, so I was hopeful she'd like it -- and thankfully, we were both pleasantly surprised! I ordered the Papa Torta, and it was incredible. I usually skip tortas because they tend to be all lettuce and no meat, but this one was packed with meat, flavor, and freshness. Easily one of the best I've had in a long time! My wife ordered the veggie burrito and fries, and she loved it -- finished every bite and gave it two thumbs up. We're both originally from California, and it's been tough finding those authentic flavors we've missed since moving. This little spot really brought us back to that familiar, homemade taste we've been craving. If you're looking for something different, delicious, and authentically Mexican, give this place a try -- you won't be disappointed!

And with the view by the patio, how can it not be the most perfect setting to enjoy my birthday dinner. We just stuck with water since it was on the warmer side today. We just went straight in for dinner. As much as the appetizers sounded lovely, I was ready for the main event. So for dinner tonight I ordered the charboiled salmon with seasonal veggies in place of the salad. My salmon was plated beautifully with nice char marks on it. The veggies were a variety of squash and were sautéed nicely. And you can tell visually that they were seasoned nicely with spices and herbs. I dug right into my salmon. My first couple bites were delicious. I did spread some of the sun dried tomato butter on my salmon. The butter was fantastic! It added a nice flavor element to the salmon. After I ate about a a fourth of my salmon, I noticed that it was not cooked all the way through in the middle. With my new kidney, I can't have rare or undercooked fish. My immune system can't handle a parasite if the fish were to potentially contain any. I shouldn't have assumed that it was going to be cooked all the way since our server didn't ask how well I wanted it cooked. I did have to send it back and have another one remade. While my new fish was being prepared, my server gave me a small salad plate to transfer my veggies to. I got to work on them so I wasn't staring at my family eat. The veggies were cooked perfectly. They weren't overly soft or still raw. It had a nice bite to them while still being tender. Unfortunately, they were overly seasoned and was on the saltier side. I was hungry so I polished them off. But I did have to drink a good amount of water to help with the saltiness. Thank goodness the portion was on the daintier side. As hungry as I was, it would have been bad if it was a bigger portion. All that salt would not be good on my new kidney. My second round of salmon came out. Was it as pretty as my first plate, no but it will do. I'm sure they set the flame on high, let it sit on the grill for a while and then flipped it to cook the other side. I have cooked salmon well done plenty of times and have it come out tender. When you cook for a living, having cooking times for your dishes should be down to a science in your kitchen. Unfortunately, the salmon was super dry and flavorless. As hungry as I was, I ate it. The butter did help with the dryness of the salmon. But I shouldn't have to rely on butter to make the dish edible. For my birthday, I got a free dessert. I chose the gluten free carrot cake. My cousin eats a gluten free diet so I thought this cake would be perfect for all of us. I enjoyed the cake very much! The cake was moist. The spices in the cake were fragrant and very noticeable in each bite. I loved the frosting on the cake. Since the cake wasn't overly sweet, the frosting added a nice sweetness to it. I enjoyed the cake very much! Our server did a mid job. There were times when she would be gone for long periods of time and we had to wait for her. The patio was perfect with its stunning view. Dinner was ok but dessert was fabulous. Overall it was a decent experience. I do look forward to coming back and enjoying the outdoor patio with my husband for a date night. I just know now to make sure I vocalize everything to my server so I don't end up with dry salmon again. I do want to come back and have a better experience.
