    Cali burrito
    Ariana W.

    This is my go to place. The food is always so fast, hot and so good. Immediately greeted with chips and salsa and everyone is so so nice every time I'm here. I always get the California burrito, my fav. They also just remodeled the bar area and it's nice!!

    Great fresh churro

    Traveling sales guy here. Eat my share of restaurants while on the road. I think this is one of the better Mexican restaurants. The service was great (I sat at the bar). I love ceviche and they have a shrimp app for $10 which is a great deal for the amount of food you get. I actually at two and that was my meal. I will definitely come back when in town.

    First time customer. Catalina was our server. I ordered the Baja Fish Tacos. Plate presentation was very weak. All three of my tacos we set on a bed of refried beans. That sucked because I do not like beans. I had beans all over my tacos. I will say the tacos were above average after I scraped off the beans. Happy hour margaritas were okay. The drinks are small during happy hour. Thankfully I ordered two right off the start. Service was just okay, nothing special for an empty restaurant, I'm sorry to say. I definitely expected more from the waitress but she was busy talking with 2 other female staff members at the register. She even admitted it to us on why we could not seem to get her attention for a check earlier. She was busy talking personal stuff with her fellow staff members. Now that's sad! It's doubtful we will ever return. It was nothing special.

    Chips and dips to start.

    While visiting "The Mom" in Nampa she had a craving for Mexican food and I asked where her favorite place is. She said Jalapenos. A quick check of the Yelp app to find out hours and if this was an okay place and away we went in the mighty Yelpmobile. Jalapenos is located in what I consider the busiest set of intersections in Nampa. It can make getting there a little challenging depending on the time of day. We found a place to park in a parking lot that is badly in need of repaving. The Mom is 86, not too steady without her walker, and the broken pavement made the trip slower than usual. Entering the restaurant you notice there are outside seating options as well as ample indoor seating. It was a hot day in Nampa and thankfully Jalapenos had the air conditioning cranked. We were seated quickly and handed menus. Chips, salsa and bean dip followed in a heartbeat. The menu is your typical looking bill of fare for a place like this. So, I tend to turn to the Specialties area to see what they are known for. The Mom frequents the place, but this my first time. There it was, the dish I judge many restaurants like this by, Chili Colorado. I ordered it as a burrito with rice and beans. Our server was amazing, a young guy, he refer to my Mom as "Mama", she loved it. He went out of his way to explain what fit Mom's dietary restrictions and she ordered her choices (clever way of saying I forgot what she ordered). The other waitstaff were always near with water refills, more chips or salsa, or extra napkins. Everything was geared fast here I was thinking as the food came out with hot plates. Even though the place has a fast pace to it, we never felt rushed. The Chili Colorado was perfectly made, loads of beef, a tangy sauce but not overly spicy in the overstuffed tortilla shell. The beans tasted perfect and the rice was not over seasoned which some places tend to do. Such an enjoyable meal! I get to Nampa pretty often, never passing up a chance to visit The Mom. Jalapenos will definitely be a regular stop. It is close to Interstate 84 so even if you are just traveling through it is well within reach.

    Two taco lunch special.
    Gary C.

    First visit here and the food is typical Mexican fare, hot plates, refries and rice. There was a good amount of chicken in the tacos, but it seemed kind of bland to me. They have a very good green salsa that helps, lots of flavor and a bit spicy. Best of all, the service was fast! Good wait staff!

    Stopped by for dinner and this spot was AMAZING! The waitress was so friendly and I love a Mexican restaurant that gives out chips and salsa but also beans! I wish they would play music inside every time they started a song it would turn off but that definitely is not going to stop me from coming back the food was delicious and I can't wait to try more items

    Original Chicken Nachos (special request)
    Scott W.

    We have stayed away from this place since the huge price increase during the pandemic and decided to visit once again. We were able to order some lower priced items, although the Jalapeño Burrito was $11.99 before the increase and now it is $18. This is typical of the increases and I still have a hard time paying around $20 for a taco plate +/-. That said, the quality of the food is still excellent. A favorite of ours was the Chicken Nachos with jalapenos and unfortunately this had been taken off the menu. However the owner was there, a kind and accommodating woman and she offered to make it for us, working with our server on how to enter the item. That is outstanding service! So if you don't mind the high prices at least you will get a quality meal and good service. The venue is festive and accommodates larger parties. This restaurant is operated extremely well.

    Chicken Fajitas
    Bridget O.

    We love going here. It's not fancy but, it's comfortable. We go in very casual. We have discovered their fajitas, which are excellent. I'm not usually a fajita eater, but I crave theirs. Our waitress is always very nice, so we tried to requester. The margaritas are good to, and everything is made from scratch and homemade.

As I entered the premises my service dog got sick. After cleaning the mess I sincerely apologized, cleaned up the mess with the senior person stated that "things happen" and "I understand". Then, after the meeting started interrupted the meeting and said the owner (who was not there) stated to his/her employee that I was to leave the establishment. I stated that the American Disabilities Act explicitly allows me to have my Service Dog with me wherever I go. After several attempts to make me leave, police were called and stated the owner requested I leave which I did. No grace, no compassion! They banned me for a year!!!

I walked in and OMG, It's way bigger than I thought and so stunning! The booths and chandeliers were very classy. The bartender Mel assisted me and she was very pleasant. She let me know that while they have coffee drinks, she's not much of a barista...they have an experienced barista on staff but they only work there from about 7am to 1pm and I was there approx 1:30pm. She stated she could make simple lattes but nothing all that fancy from the coffee menu as cocktails are her actual specialty so I decided to go with alcoholic libations since that's what she knows how to make. One that stood out to me was called the "Figgy Fizz" which is made with a fig syrup and I was excited as for breakfast yesterday I had the best Greek yogurt I've ever had which was honey and fig flavored so I was definitely in a fig mood lol she whipped up the drink but unfortunately after she handed it to me, she let me know she couldn't find the fig syrup they put in it so she substituted that with pumpkin spice. I was kind of bummed about that and wished she would have asked me first if that substitution was okay with me or if I'd want to try something else because now it's not a "figgy fizz" but a pumpkin spice fizz but I still drank it and it was decent. I decided to try one more drink which was a pomegranate rosemary lemon drop and it was beautiful and very tasty ! It's a nice spot to have a drink, the staff is quite friendly and they have some unique flavors so i can see myself frequenting this establishment. I want to come back soon and give their coffee drinks a try when I can stop by earlier!

The entrance to this place is a door between Paddle Up Poké and Antlers Boutique. Once you enter, you go down a set of stairs into a very trendy and clean speakeasy known as, yep, you guessed it, The Sick Stag. This place has quite eclectic decor, taxidermy, and cave-like booths that really separate you from others. This place is perfect for a date with your special someone, a fun night out with friends, or even as part of a bachelor or bachelorette celebration. The staff here are super friendly and helpful. They even have mocktail options and can likely make most drinks non-alcoholic, keeping it fun for those looking to refrain from alcohol. Their appetizers are also really good! Their prices are also fair and not to ridiculous which is amazing. Be sure to make a reservation, especially if you are planning to go on a weekend. Overall, I highly recommend this hidden gem in the middle of downtown Nampa! They even have clean bathrooms!

    I was at an event in Nampa the other night and ordered food online from Whiskey River because it…read morewas close to the venue. Within seconds, I received a text that my order had been received, but not confirmed, and to watch for a confirmation text. After 30 minutes, I still had not received a confirmation text, so I messaged asking for an approximate time. The reply stated they were "slammed" and that my order would be ready in about 30 minutes. After another 45 minutes, I still had not received any communication from them, so I decided to walk over to check on my order, hoping that it would be ready. The first thing I noticed was that there were not a lot of customers inside. I informed the server behind the bar that I was there to pick up my order, and she went back to check. When she returned, she told me that there were no pickup orders. I showed her the email with my order number and told her that I never received a confirmation from them. She went back into the kitchen, then came back and said they didn't have my order, but could make it while I waited - about 10 minutes. I reluctantly agreed and waited. When I got my order, I asked for a few extra cups of sauce. The server was put off, as if asked to perform an overwhelming task. Needless to say, I left the establishment with a less-than-favorable taste in my mouth. 24 hours later, I received a text from them that my order was confirmed and would be ready to be picked up. I texted back that this was 24 hours late and to cancel the order. The reply was that their texting service was unavailable, and to call for questions. I then replied to the confirmation email, hoping that would get through to them. No such luck. The reply I received said that delivery had failed - that their email box was full. I will say that the food was good, and that the server was mainly friendly. However, the whole online ordering system needs some serious revamping. I hope that Whiskey River will take this review as constructive criticism so that future customers will have an easier, smoother online ordering experience.
