Metztli Mexican Taqueria - 3 shrimp tacos and birria tacos paired either rice and beans. - Mexican Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Food is wonderful! Love the quesabirria tacos and the pollo a la crema! Usually get takeout.

Metztli is a standout in Meridian. We've always had pleasant service experience here and the food is solid! It's hard to find quality Mexican food around these parts, so were very excited to have found Metztli. The restaurant has a nice ambiance with music playing in the background and stylish decor. Highly recommend! Shoutout to Pedro who has attended us multiple times with top notch attention! read more

I came in for lunch today and they did not disappoint. I got the fish taco plate to go and it was delish. I love HOT salsa and the red one at the salsa bar was killer. In reading the reviews, lots of people are saying that they had issues with the service or the food, but I didn't experience any of that. The business may have worked on those issues so it's always a learning experience for them. Come in and give them a try... read more

First off.. We were so incredibly confused when we walked Into what looked like a No budget night club with a featured salsa bar..??? After working hard to follow the menus . A burrito seemed like a safe bet. While waiting with anticipation- the atmosphere left us pondering how good it could actually be with the cleanliness and lack of toilet paper , paper towels and greased up windows. Once our food arrived - it was quite the wait only to find out it was the wrong item and the other one tasted terrible , and not to mention the fork couldn't even make it through the burrito without buckling under pressure . Realizing we didn't receive our beverage, when asked for it. They shrugged and said we're out. With complete frustration and disappointment.. we asked for our money back.. The young kid at the counter said the manager wasn't there and wouldn't be in till later, and proceeded in taking the next customers order.. all in all !! Our experience was less than impressive And incredibly over priced .. THANKS @Hellomeridian for featuring a misleading recommendation! read more

I'm a tough critic when it comes to Mexican food having grown up in CA and living in Southwest for 18 years. I get to travel for work a lot, so I'm always hopeful the Treasure Valley will have more restaurants like this springing up soon. The food at Metztli was pretty good (7 out of 10). Downside would be small inside, very high prices for walk up to order counter and loud music. Maybe this will be a stepping stone to them opening a larger restaurant one day. read more

Great Mexican food, as close to the Mexican in Ventura, Ca as we could find. Wet burritos are awesome. Enchiladas are great. We're becoming regulars. Definitely recommend. read more

Been there 3 times and they have always left food out, check your stuff before you leave!

Went there last night since our normal spot was closed and had heard it was good. I was disappointed as the shredded chicken tasted like canned chicken and had a hit of some pink stuff. The guacamole on our plates were brown and salsa bar was of need of cleaning. On top of that they charged a credit card fee with NO notice (not sign or letting us know verbally)! I tipped on top of it and for 3 people with fountain drinks and entree was $68!!! Way too much for the experience and food quality. Not recommending this place unfortunately as I had high hopes to support an authentic Mexican family run business. read more

Great food and great service. Been here a few times and the food is always great. Better than most Mexican restaurants in the valley that I've been to. read more

We enjoyed both our queso burrito and enchiladas. The portions were huge and the service at the front counter was excellent and fast.

Brian and Alondra were very helpful and had some of the best customer service I've received in along while the food also is very flavorful and the plates are large, food came out super quick read more

Metztli Mexican Taqueria - Churros - Mexican Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

The food and its presentation on the plate are great. The ingredients, did not disappoint. Great place to eat and vibe with family and friends. Not a big fan of the waiting to order but I was happy with my food. read more

we waited for 45 minutes, watching orders that came after us get their food, watched the people behind the counter eat at the register. Yet not one word was said to us before we asked for a refund read more

Food was super greasy and we ended up throwing most of it away. Service was speedy and staff was pleasant, and location is great, so we were very disappointed. read more

I've been here a couple of times. Tortas are good but not Mitch else. Burritos suck and "service" is hit and miss. My last visit is a good example As I walked in the cashier was delivering chips to a table. I ordered and paid cash. They had no change so that ended up being her tip. Got my self serve soda and salsa from the salsa bar (nice touch) and sat down. Now 2 cashiers were at the register talking and I got no chips until I went back up and asked. They acted surprised. Tables remained dirty dirty while they chatted. Got my Torta and enjoyed it. As I walked out I never did receive my change. Same experience about 1/2 the time. I won't be back. Torta was good but not that good read more

Was hoping this new neighborhood restaurant would be worth a second visit, but probably not. Items were more expensive than same dishes at a sit down restaurant, but place had the vibe of 'fast food.' No accessible seating at all. Waitress was kind but overworked running the register, bringing meals out to customers and clearing tables. For what we paid/waited for, we'd hoped for more. read more

Really wanted to love this new Mexican location as it is so convenient but I highly doubt I'll be going back. First off, the menu is on three tv screens moving like a ticker tape. As a first timer, it is hard to figure out what you want..... including the typos that you would think would be fixed after being open for over a month. The place is pretty clean with music playing pretty loudly (the speaker does not sound that good so it was a bit annoying). Our food came and it was average at best. The salsas definitely lack flavor and are far from authentic mexican. The chips are not freshly made. There was just really nothing exciting about the food that would make me want to go back. Too many other local places that have a lot more flavor than this at much more reasonable prices. read more

Loved it. I've been looking for good Mex. food since I moved here. Trying different places, all have been bad to deplorable. Authentic?? There are very few places in any state that serve authentic Mexican food not located in a majority Mexican town. I don't think Idahoans know what it is. What you are looking for is GOOD American Mexican food and because it's so rare here you THINK that's authentic. I just had the best Mexican food since I left AZ. The reason they only have 3 stars is because they're so new. Cut them some slack people. They'll figure it out. But they've got the skills, no question. read more

Food was amazing!! Good service and great choices. Clean and inviting. Definitely going back!

Great little Mexican spot! I ordered the steak fajitas, which were really flavorful. They were very well seasoned, steak was tender and perfectly cooked along with the peppers/onions. I wasn't a fan of their queso, which was just melted stretchy monterey jack cheese. Other than that, we are happy to return. read more

Metztli Mexican Taqueria - Steak fajitas, so flavorful and tender! - Mexican Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

We were excited to try this place. Never again. So very disappointed. My husbands taquitos looked like they were old & stuck back in the fryer, coming out that dark brown when the food/oil is old. The plate didn't even come with quac and sour cream, that was -$2.75 extra. The rice was dryer than dry. This place is ridiculously over priced , we'll never go back. One small plate, one drink & one ala cart taco, 24.00. I feel completely ripped off & taken advantage of. read more

We were so excited about this place opening! We need good tacos around here. Unfortunately that isn't this place. They were out of half the menu (day four of business) and then when we ordered tacos to go, they boxed them up and tied the bags (normal) and didn't communicate that they come completely bare (literally tortillas with meat) and didn't include any toppings in the bags. We got home to eat and pulled them out. When I returned to ask they didn't seem to care. We won't be back. read more

Metztli Mexican Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

See all

Nice little place. Solid food, similar to Los Betos with some more traditional options.

This place is amazing the food tastes like REAL Mexican food. The food is always served hot and the salsa bar has all the condiments that you need even a salsa that's actually spicy. The way we Mexicans like it. Can't wait to come here soon and try something else. read more

Hopped on here to review the menu before we go again tonight and was very surprised to find such poor reviews. So here I am with my 2 cents: We are picky about our Mexican food and much prefer to make it at home from abuelitas recipes. When we tried Metzli for the first time a few weeks ago, our expectations were low given our past experiences with "Mexican" food in the area. Much to our glee, we found a spot blocks from home with offerings that surpassed our standards. I cannot speak for consistency as this will be our first time back, but the service was friendly and the food both authentic and delicious on our first visit. It is reminiscent of the "hole in the wall" 24 hour taco stands that have the best food. As small business owners ourselves, we more than appreciate that any new operation will experience growing pains. We do wish Metzli the best and look forward to many more tacos! read more

Had lunch at this recently opened fast casual Mexican restaurant and I have to say they serve up some very good authentic Mexican food. I had the chicken enchiladas plate and they were great! Nice salsa bar and very good salsa. The restaurant is very clean and well operated. If they continue to execute consistently like they did today, they will build a great business. read more

Alondra and Omar had amazing customer service. Was my first time coming in, and was greeted by both of them with a smile, food and drinks did not disappoint it was delicious! good job you guys! read more

Food was good but all else was a big disappointment. The two female workers were rude and unfriendly, and the place is noticeably dirty. I generally don't fill out reviews but this place left a very unfavorable experience. :(( read more

The food was outstanding and very authentic! My wife and I were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. It may be small in size but offers great food and an extremely friendly staff. You have to try this hidden gem. read more

The food is SO good. Everything we've tried, we have loved. The wait times are a little long but definitely worth the wait!

The service is great! The feeling of the restaurant is so personal and inviting. The food is delicious - the drinks are great! I encourage all to try!!! read more

We really loved the quesabirria highly recommend it if you come! And great customer service and music

I saw a video promoting the place online and decided to come in and try it. The lady who took our order was rude and very blunt. The food itself was alright but not worth the price. The ramen was obviously cheap instant ramen as well. I would recommend going to any other mexican place. read more

First of all, let me just say that I wouldn't call it authentic Mexican food. However, I was pleasantly surprised how flavorful everything was. He had the chicken flautas (which were our favorite), carne asada tacos and chips and queso. The flautas had amazing flavor and were perfectly crispy and tender at the same time. The carne asada was ok, found some gristle in it. The chips and queso were pretty good, a little more heat than I prefer. read more

Food and Service was very good would recommend. Restaurant was clean and the Salsa bar was great!

Good food. Here are a few suggestions to survive in the burbs-- you need seating for more than 4. People have more than 2 kids. You also need a kids menu. We don't want to buy our gaggle of children $12.99 enchiladas. If those things are fixed I think this place would get a ton of business. read more

So bad. The only thing remotely good was the quesaberria tacos. Do yourself a favor and go to coalcoman on Fairview.

If you're looking for Taco Bell tasting food this is not the place for you. If you want authentic full flavored delicious Mexican food, then look no farther. My only complaint is the eatery needs to be larger! read more
