Chips and salsa were excellent too along with the restaurant being very clean! Ambiance was attractive and the restaurant was quiet, not overly loud so you could have a pleasant conversation with others at your table without having to yell over the noise like some other restaurants if visited! Over all a great place to have an authentic Mexican cuisine!

The food and drinks were awesome and great service! Next time we are in pondera we will be backread more

This might be the best kept little secret in downtown Sandpoint. Located conveniently next to the…read morebig public parking lot on Church Street, Joel's offers a good range of delicious burritos and other goodies. So far, all I've tried is their California Burrito, which is quite tasty, and not as greasy as CBs I've had elsewhere. Everything feels and tastes fresher in their burritos, where you get a definite crunch from included veggies like tomatoes and lettuce. Their asada is very tender and has a pot roast kind of flavor to it. And the burritos are enormous. My wife and I split the burrito and it was all I could do to finish my half. My son ordered a plate of arroz con pollo (all about the basics, this kid) and gave it two very enthusiastic thumbs up. They offer a walk up service counter with seating primarily in the outdoor spaces in front of and beside the building. The covered seating area was under maintenance or repair when we went, so you might grab your grub to go if it's raining or snowing. I forgot to see if they do any specialty drinks like Jamaica or horchata, but they absolutely have a self serve soda fountain with Dr. Pepper on tap which, when I think about it, is all I really need to know. We've technically been twice now, and would have gone a third time last night (Wednesday) but they were closed, so wifey and I went to Joe's Philly Cheese Steak place down the street instead (sorry, Joel). To out myself as one o' them $#*%ing Californians, this place was very much a taste of home, and it's nice to know it's nearby when those burrito cravings hit all at once. As stated in the opening, this place is right next to a big, FREE public parking lot and perhaps brisk walking distance to City Beach, the Cedar Street Bridge (shopping) and the Sandpoint Farmers Market (when it's going, anyway). Prices are about what one would expect for a roughly 2lb serving of burrito awesomeness, $12-$15 on average. Definitely recommended if you're in the mood for something fast, fresh and tasty.

We ALWAYS get the pork belly (SOOO GOOD) and this time I tried the Chicken Fried Steak. That was really good! My go-to is the Brisket Burrito, but that Chicken Fried steak was good. The seasoning and sauce is not your typical "breakfast" style. It's got a Mexican twist to it which is great! Dessert never disappoints! Neither does the atmosphere and the people! (thanks Robi!) Yes it's a smaller place, but SOOO worth it! TIP: Use the "wait list" option for Nadine's in Yelp!

The food itself was great, and the prices were quite reasonable. The only slight knock is that the staff were not especially friendly. Not rude by any means, and they were responsive to requests, but it wasn't exactly service with a smile. That's fine, though; not worth deducting a star over.

The sun will never set on the joy this restaurant has generated in my heart. This food saved my marriage and my son told be he loved me for the first time since Christmas of '04. My family came in as a large party and allowed us to have a patio reservation, something most restaurants do not do but was much appreciated. Our server, Jesica, was the single greatest server I have ever had in my life. There is treasure laid up in heaven for that woman. She was so kind and AMAZING at her job. As it goes with a large party, we had multiple checks, dietary restrictions, and the whole rigamarole. She handled the whole thing not just with professionalism, but excellence. Give her a raise immediately.

I'm a lifelong Mexican food lover & even after many TX, AZ, NM, CA experiences I rank this among the top of them all. The family staff & hometown atmosphere make it even more comfortable.

Their tacos are UNREASONABLY delicious--they should be OUTLAWED... it's a CRIME! I work in Ponderay, and as soon as I sit down in my lonely office chair at 8am, I feel the cravings begin, and I begin counting down the minutes until they open... I CANNOT HELP but order their tacos multiple times a week. There must be some kind of addictive property to these--it must be the OUTRAGEOUSLY flavorful spicy salsa?!! Someone needs to do something about this!!! Where is the policia?! STAY FAR, FAR AWAY...I have already been forced to take out loans to feed my taco habit. I have lost everything that matters to me--my children, my partner, my home... All of it to the tacos. If you value your financial stability, care about your family, (or your waistline,) STAY AWAY. These tacos will haunt you--call for you--seduce you. I am but a hollow shell of the person I once was...and all I can do now is fill the emptiness with tacos. My coworkers whisper about my taco habit behind my back. I hear the snickers, the judgment... They just don't understand. They don't know these tacos like I do. I've had to start telling them I'm "going to a meeting," which isn't technically a lie... I meet the Taco Temptress in the food court parking lot. I am forced to devour her sins alone in my car... tears (and lime juice) stream down my face. I am at the end of myself. I've given my life to these tacos--I can't go back now. I have been baptized in salsa. You can find me in the monastery, praying to the Patron Saint of Street Meat-- Locos Kitchen. 5/5. Would ruin my life again.
