I like this place as we are limited to options in Northern Utah but DO NOT use their drive up. I…read morehave left twice without food when using the drive up. First time two weeks ago, the lady on the other side could not hear me and I had to repeat my order at least four times before I gave up and left. I went yesterday and ordered this time but waited at the window for at least 11 minutes before I gave up and drove off. No one came to greet me or take my money. I just waited and waited until I couldn't wait any longer because I had kids in the car that were getting antsy. Went somewhere else to get food. If I was the manager, I would retrain his staff that take care of drive up. Its always a good wait but its been ridiculous lately. I even purposely ordered something I thought would be fast so I didn't have to wait long but it didn't work. If you want to go eat, park and go inside.

Randomly stopped for some gas during a road trip and needed to find a place to eat. Wow! What a…read morerandom great find. We had to drive a little ways from the freeway to get here, but it was worth it. The house made spicy salsa was so flavorful we bought a container to go. I messed up and ordered some dish that was described as less carbs or something. Don't do that. Order the full fat, carby, traditional Mexican dishes and you will not be disappointed. Particularly good mole sauce! And we've had some good ones in CA. Kudos to the chef here. Really flavorful. I'd say the best I've ever tasted. I would take a detour here if passing through Utah again. Parking: Street parking. Plenty of spots along the street when we were there (enough to easily park our Sprinter 170 extended).

We moved to Nevada 2 years ago. Today we were traveling through the area and were so excited to be able to eat there again. Walked through the door and right off the bat noticed how dirty the dining area was. We seated ourselves. Waitress brought chips and salsa. This is part of my issue. The chips were small broken pieces. I could have complained but it was at the beginning of the meal and if you complain you never know what will happen to your meal in the kitchen. On a positive note the refried beans were the best I've ever had. My husband had the fajita burrito and said it was delicious.

If you are in Pocatello, eat here…read more We dined on a Friday night. 90% capacity. No line. A little slow to get us seated but as kind as other reviewers have noted. Everyone was kind. Thank you! Dinner took 30 minutes to reach our table. A little long and it's not like they were full with a line of people waiting. Their chips looked and seemed generic, but they were good. Salsa was about a 10/10 for me. Flavor, heat, consistency. Perfect. Bean dip was good. Nacho queso was fun, but a little plain. I appreciated having it. I had 3 shredded beef tacos, and beans and rice. One of my major complaints of an otherwise very good experience. Is that two out of my three tacos were soggy by the time I got to them and I tried to get to them immediately before I started in on the beans and rice to prevent eating soggy tacos. Anyway, that was a big disappointment. Beyond that, the freshness and flavor and quality was great. I enjoyed everything. I would definitely eat here again. I'm not sure if my tacos were soggy from the tomatoes or the shredded beef or because they were sitting under the heat light for too long. I would need to figure that out next time, if I'm ever in Pocatello again... There was live music, and that was fun. At the end of our meal thy brought out chips with cinnamon, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle. Free of charge. This is not my type of thing at all. But I have to admit it was a nice little treat after dinner and was very, very good. The only reason I'm not giving this a five star review is because of the soggy tacos. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. Everything was great.
