Great drinks, food and staff. Great music and art on the walls to round out a great overall experience.

Food is tasty. Good happy hour 3pm-6pm. Ambiance is good and fun. Service is good and attentive, although a bit busy

We got seated right away because we chose to sit outside, otherwise it would have been a 2 hour wait. This place is popular so do make a reservation. It took a little while for our waitress to come around, but we found out why, there was only three of them that evening. Nonetheless, they all did a great job and the food was tasty. We had more appetizers than we should have gotten and the entrees were also flavorful. read more

Didn't know if this place would be good so wanted to try lunch first and it was Yummy!! What great service and kind of scary atmosphere LOL with a New Orleans Vibe. We sat outside and it was very pleasant and we received good service. You know how sometimes sitting outside the staff forgets you but that didn't happen. Great waitress read more

Excellent service but food was average. Don't expect any complementary chips here. Everything is extra.

Some of the best tacos I've ever had 9 inch tacos during half an hour for the chicken and the chorizo are only three dollars The service is amazing Kayla world class bartender and person will take care of you and she's also hilarious My favorite place to go on the weekend because it's happy hour seven days a week Food and drink-they have happy hour beers and tequila Tacos and more Oh, by the way, it's getting crowded here so don't show up read more

Great Food! Best Chips and Salsa! Great Happy Hour! Seasoned employees give the best service!

we've gone there a couple of times with friends. It's always been great. The food is tasty and the drinks are great.

Evelyn was FABULOUS! Not only was great wine served, but it was accommodated by top notch service.

A wonderful menu, and dinning experience. My clients were visiting from out of town. They couldn't say enough about their hospitality and experience! read more

My first impression was that this restaurants menu makes no sense. It was hard to read and understand where the Mexican food was because half the menu was bruschetta and things alike. We came in with a larger group and a reservation and our server (young woman with long wavy brown hair) was probably the best part of the whole experience. She was really on top of it which I appreciate. We started with the chips, salsa, guac and queso and it was ok. The guac was super chunky but in a way that made it hard to scoop up. The chips were fresh and warm and that was great! The drinks were good and I got the steak nachos. I wasn't very impressed but I guess for being a Tex Mex kind of place it was decent. The decor is what threw me off the most. I felt like they were going for a San Diego Tex Mex restaurant feel, or maybe trying to be similar to a place Iike Mesa in Nampa, but it was giving "landlord special" and the bathrooms were rather dusty. The live music was.....interesting. All in all, maybe not my cup of tea but hopefully it will improve in the future! read more

We tried a new spot and were seriously impressed--especially by the Mexican prawn taquitos. Perfectly crisp and full of flavor, and that mango chile sauce they came with...absolute perfection. We also sampled all the salsas (because how could we not?) and honestly couldn't pick a favorite. Each one brought something totally different to the table, and they were all so good. We sat out on the patio, which made it even better--great vibes, great food, and a perfect place to hang out and unwind. We'll definitely be back! read more

Had dinner here tonight and was genuinely impressed. The food was excellent -- fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Everything came out hot, well presented, and you can tell the kitchen really focuses on quality and consistency. What truly made the experience stand out was our server, Marlee. She was absolutely fantastic -- friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and incredibly professional. She checked in at just the right times, made great recommendations, and had such a warm, welcoming attitude that made the whole experience even better. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests and takes pride in what she does. Service like this is rare these days. Between the great atmosphere, delicious food, and top-notch hospitality, this place definitely earned a repeat visit from us. Highly recommend -- and if you get Marlee as your server, you're in excellent hands. read more

Nice place very clean and friendly servers. Food is fresh! However everything is super SPICY! Not much on the menu available for someone who doesn't like spice. read more

So happy we stopped in. We called ahead to see if we needed a reservation and we did not. Place was packed and we got the last table. Fresh food always pleases the palate. Guacamole was fantastic. Flank steak was delicious and the tacos were great as shared by my table mates. Decor, music and ambience was warm and welcoming. Live music on Wednesday nights is coming soon. read more

Hands down the BEST Mexican food we've ever eaten ! Flavorful & fresh. The fresh chips & salsa were addictive. We had the Fajitas Trio and the SRF y Nopales. The house margarita was made just right.

First time visitor. We came on a Saturday around 11:30am for the brunch menu. They have both patio and indoor seating. Seating inside looked comfortable but we opted for the patio. Our server promptly checked on us and took our drink orders and answered questions. My friend and I ordered off the available brunch menu. They offered breakfast tacos, quesadillas, burrito which I was pleased to see. We started with chips and salsa and appreciated the freshly fried chips. We got the mild salsa which has a uniquely sweet flavor which may have been from carrots. My friend ordered the breakfast tacos with chicken and I ordered the breakfast quesadilla with birria beef. I must say the presentation and the meat ratio was good. My birria however tasted like pork not beef. The chicken tacos (3 per order) came with a nice sauce. Both included scrambled eggs and skillet potatoes. The food was fresh and filling. I can't wait to return and try some other menu items. We enjoyed our visit. read more

We stopped in as first timers on our way home from errands so we wanted something simple. We opted for two margaritas and nachos. The service was prompt and courteous. We recieved our mango and spicy classic margaritas that we requested. They were tart and flavorful without being overly sweet like many others are. The nachos were really the big surprise. They came elegantly arranged on a rectangular platter. Each homemade chip was large and filled w a delicious wagyu chorizo, topped w I think a lime creama. They were the bomb. Such a nice switch up from the clumpy cheddar and chips other Mexican restaurants usually serve. We plan to return to try some other yummies. The restaurant is not overly loud so it was nice to enjoy a conversation w my hubby. Nice background music too! We loved it it read more

Alejandro at Calaveras is absolutely amazing! His service was next-level--attentive, friendly, and genuinely made the entire experience unforgettable. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made fantastic recommendations that elevated the whole meal. You can tell he truly cares about his guests and takes pride in what he does. If there's ever a server who deserves recognition (and a well-earned dinner!), it's Alejandro. Dining with him is an experience in itself--Calaveras is lucky to have him! read more

Great food! Very nice patio and good service every time. Love the tequila selection too

Fantastic food and service by Marley! Tacos delicious, corn ribs too. we will be back!

Food is pretty good. I wish they had a bit broader of a menu. Service is good but not great.

A bit slow, understaffed, and overpriced. Fajitas had only 3 small tortillas. Not planning to return.

What an amazing New Mexican / Cantina joint in downtown Meridian. Inside very well done with great ambiance and atmosphere. Great art on the walls and lots of seating all around. We came here yesterday during lunch time and got seated right away. Service was 5 star all the way! Simply amazing! For food this place has a tapa vibe menu so that's what we went with. I will rate each thing below separately. Margaritas-5 star and you can tell some care went into making these! Chips and dips we had the guacamole, spicy salsa and queso-5star the chips are homemade big bonus! Salsa was homemade and guacamole good spice and delicious! Elk sliders-OMG delicious! 5 star! Shrimp and chorizo-5 star BLT- Bomb 5 star! Shrimp taquitos OMG if you don't get these you missed out so amazing! Carne Asada taco-5 star! Mahi fish taco-5 star! This area needs a place like this so bad!!! These guys are doing it right and hope more people come try this place! read more

TLDR: expensive, tiny portions, loud, and slow service (Wednesday at 6:30pm - party of 6) Cool atmosphere and glad to see more Mexican options in Boise. The chips and guac/salsa were good but not free. Ordered our food shortly after sitting and it took quite a while to be brought out. Two members of our party ordered the nacho appetizer as their main course. We saw them start to bring it out but then retreat back to the kitchen waiting to bring it out till the rest of the food was ready. At least 10 minutes, by that point though the nachos were cold. One member of the party ordered three tacos and they only brought out two initially. He had to wait another 10/15 mins for his third taco. Myself and two other members of the party ordered three tacos. All either $4, $5 or $6 a piece. The tacos were the size of street tacos, and you could easily finish it in two or three bites. They are way too expensive for what you get. If they were half the price I would have enjoyed them more but they weren't anything special. read more

Great food! Order the Flautas. They're a little bit spicy but the spice is balanced. And Sophia, our server, was excellent. We sat outside under a toasty heat lamp and enjoyed conversation (quieter than inside). thanks for a wonderful evening! read more

Husband and I tried this place last week around lunch time and we were very happy with everything we tried. Our server was kind and very helpful when we explained it was our first time. We ordered the Chips and Medium Salsa ($4/ if you are a salsa snob like me, you WILL be happy!!) the Nachos appetizer with chicken ($16/ pictured/ these are to die for especially with the chicken added), 2 Steak Tacos ($6 each/ seasoned well and packed full) and a side of the Elote Corn ($5/ be careful bc these things are so addictive!) Everything was very delicious and we left FULL. Our bill was under $40 and we felt that what we ordered was priced appropriately. The ambiance and decor was great, I loved it! It's always fun to find a place that can seat you outside. Thanks for a great experience and a fun date spot for us! read more

First time coming here. Never again. Everything that happened after we were seated was basically a disaster. Waited almost an hour for food. Pretty sure they either forgot our order or skipped over it. Either way. It was probably the worst experience at a restaurant that I've ever had. read more
