Nice big screen to see what they offer on the menu. During the week days they have taco, burrito and bowl specials. They have a large seating area after you order. If you have take out to wait for your food at counter. If you have dine in they will bring to your table. Not too sure about cross contamination due to the food being set up like chipotle and subway. So I guess there is some with the toppings. The one o would be worried about is seafood allergy. I was not able to get a picture but you might want to make sure they done fry fish and shrimp in the same basket as fries and taquitos. Co-worker ordered nachos and one got enchiladas. Both of them had elements that were microwaved to make warm. The nachos were microwaved to melt the cheese and the enchiladas the green sauce was placed in a plastic bowl microwaved then poured over enchiladas. I don't like when places have to use microwaves but they have 3 of them I say. I had the taquitos. I must admit, the flavor was good. Fried just right. Not a fan of green salsa so an option would have been nice. They only brought green out with my dinner.

Food is ordered at the counter and they deliver it to the table. I ordered the three carne asada enchilada plate which came with beans and rice. The beans were nice and loose to mix with the rice. Good flavor and plenty of sauce and cheese in the enchiladas. Taste of the meat was on point. They had green and red homemade sauces, nice flavors, the red was not real hot. The squeeze had the three taco plate, which of course had the beans and rice. She chose the carne asada as well. We swapped a taco and enchilada. The tortillas got a little stiff on the last taco, almost became a tostada. There is a soda fountain for self help drinks. Service was good, very attentive. It was certainly a good lunch. I really can't say it was better than other places I have eaten. The single bathroom needs help, kind of dirty but didn't smell. Maybe a cheap makeover with some fresh paint.

What a cute place to find in the sleepy Saturday night town of Payette!…read more Downtown Payette is what Caldwell once looked like before investors went in and built more businesses. The streets are dark and very few places are open and that makes me sad because this could be such an adorable old town downtown vibe for locals! So don't miss this restaurant towards the end of Main Street and then hop across the street to Hammer Time for family fun with axe throwing! El Kamaron has done a great job with their interior decor, seating layout, has a full bar, and an extensive menu that includes quite a bit of seafood options! It's the Torres Mariscos that sold me on trying this place and it didn't disappoint! This is a menu item that you'd see regularly in a beach town in Mexico like in Nayarit, MX! It was loaded with shrimp, octopus, and crab. I was so excited to just eat the meats that I didn't even want crackers or chips. Just let me feast on the meats with the avocado, cucumber, onion and tomato and I'm in heaven! I'll be back for this item alone! I also ordered a holiday specialty drink called the cranberry Paloma and I loved it. It was beautifully presented with a dehydrated orange slice and floating cranberries with a Chamoy and Tajin rim. I tossed my straw to the side so I could enjoy each sip with the rim! The staff ate so lovely and friendly with smiles and always ask how you're doing and if you need anything! You order at the table but pay at the bar counter closest to the door. There were two birthday celebrations going on and each birthday baby (adults in their 60's) received a cute colorful shot in a champagne flute and the entire restaurant sang to them. It was an enjoyable experience!

Looking at the bar

El Kamaron - Torre mariscos was so delicious! Super tasty even the tostadas that came with it was good. Definitely going back to try different plates.

As someone who grew up in the Southwest, surrounded by authentic Mexican flavors, I can confidently say--this place delivers! Their carne asada tacos? Perfection. Juicy, smoky, packed with flavor, and nestled in warm, fresh tortillas. Every bite took me straight back to the taquerías of my childhood. And let's talk salsa--both the salsa verde and salsa roja are on point! The verde is bright and zesty, while the roja brings just the right amount of heat. The service? Fast and friendly. The team here clearly loves what they do, and it shows. Plus, the prices are more than fair for the quality you're getting. If you love authentic Mexican food and live in or are just passing through Baker or you want to surprize your wife with a plate of tacos (she will LOVE you for it) you need to visit.

Since I was already planning on being in town, I made it my mission to stop by and try. I ordered an Asada Burrito with Hot Cheetos (asada, rice, beans, cheese, onion, cilantro and stuffed with Flamin' Hot Cheetos, $8.50) with sides of red and green sauce. The wait wasn't long at all. The first thing I noticed was how freaking heavy the damn thing was. It was huge! Definitely worth the price if we're talking about value. Idk about you, but I am a huge fan of Hot Cheetos. I have eaten entire bags of it by myself during a movie. I bring them on any road trip, plane ride, and especially backpacking trips (something about greasy goodness and mountains in the middle of nowhere that brings me serenity). Anyway, the moment I took a bite my taste buds knew nothing else other than I was born to eat this burrito. And another one, if I didn't have a holiday party to attend later that day. I put Hot Cheetos in my sandwiches all the time, but in a burrito? Not only did it add copious amounts of flavor, but the extra crunch between bites was so satisfying! If you're ever in the little town of Payette you really should stop by! Great prices, delicious food.
