Nicely decorated, plenty of tables, larger than it appears outside. Service was great. They have cocktails and bottled beer. I ordered the El Birria Tamal, a tamale with birria consumme. Yummy. I also ordered one taco with pork. The taco was filled with meat. Tender and with the grilled onions, so good. Both were a little over $10, and I was stuffed! Beats the heck out of a Big Mac Meal.

The food came out in a very timely manner and was delicious. THE BAD: Only one thing prevented our meal from being perfect, and that was the view, as we were seated by a large picture window, next to the alley. That, in and of itself, wasn't a bad thing, it was the trash that was directly outside on the ground that distracted from the entire dining experience. SUGGESTION: Even if it's not the restaurant's area of responsibility, the manager might consider having employees clean and sweep the alley of trash daily, which would go a long way toward improving the ambiance.

First time to visit. Really enjoyed it…read more The place is very well decorated and has a patio outside that is dog friendly. We sat at the bar and the service excellent. They have a great selection of tequilas. We chose the house margarita and it was excellent. Flautas were really good as was the shrimp and Mykonos tacos that I had. We also tried the trio dips apptz. Very good. Only exception I took was getting any level of spice. Even asked for the hottest sauce or salsa they had. Tasted great but didn't have any heat. We will definitely go back.

The service was great and the food was delicious. Living a couple of hours away from my parents leads to cravings of actual Mexican food. This hit the spot. The tortillas were homemade and the salsa had a great flavor. I ordered the sopes- a homemade thick tortilla with meat, lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes , top off with some good salsa and you're set. The sopes are small so if you're hungry, I would opt out for a bigger plate. The rice was well done and the beans were fresh. Really good food. Would definitely come again.

To be clear.....this is the original located in Nampa and not the new location on Fairview. Walking in it had that old school vibe that I love and seek out. The place was packed and the service was excellent. The hero though was the food Everything on the menu looked good, but the seafood dishes were too good to pass up. I will be back to try more and more on the menu, but will always have to get the octopus for the table as it may have been the best I have ever had anywhere.

Glad to have found this place and share it with people I work with.

I ordered online. I made two separate taco orders. The second one specifically says no cilantro…read more When you order online you have to check a box of which toppings you want on your tacos. I only checked "onions" and even added a comment NO cilantro just to make sure it doesn't get missed. I picked up my order and all 11 tacos had cilantro on them. I went back inside to let them know. They took all of the tacos back and told me they would remake the ones that weren't supposed to have cilantro on them. She brought them out and told me it was all fixed. I didn't bother checking a second time to make sure my order was correct. I got home and they shorted me 2 of the no cilantro tacos. Giving 2 stars because the carnitas were good. Depending on how they do next time (if we come back) I may give a better rating.

It's so incredibly hard to convince my husband to eat anything other than meat and potatoes, but…read moreluckily I was able to convince him to try a place that was new to him. Even if he didn't want to go, due to my immense craving for the chips and queso, I would have ate alone...but he reluctantly agreed. We went on a late Sunday morning and the place was relatively empty. They had the garage roll-up doors open, which gave this location a cool vibe. We quickly ordered the chips and queso, one grilled fish taco (grilled or fried fish, red cabbage, cilantro, chipotle crema) and one texican (ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes and cheddar cheese). One thing I just love about this place is that you never have to wait for your chips and queso. We were served up a generous scoop of tortilla chips and that hot, crave-a-licous queso. Our tacos were done within a few minutes. The fish was tender and flaky, wrapped in a corn tortilla. The cilantro, cabbage and crema wrapped that fish with this amazingly fresh and herbaceous blanket of love. Every bite was scrumptious. My husband named the "Texican" to "a taco made for me" and then asked when we're coming back. Best day ever. Sitting out in the open air area was super nice, on a perfect 78 degree day. Can't wait to go back.

Always good! Consistent and quick. Can't go wrong. Great value and menu pricing, very affordable!read more
