This place is LEGIT. I'm visiting the Boise area from Phoenix so I wasn't expecting to find such amazing Mexican food up here. Their tamales are some of the best I've had. Pastor tacos were delicious! Their prices are really good, you get a lot of food for your money. Service is top notch! Highly recommend this spot they are a 12/10! Guadalupe was a wonderful server. read more

Date night w/husband. Craving street tacos and decided to try out this place in Meridian. Small place. They have a taco bar during lunch hours. Service was fast. Instead of chips & salsa they bring out a little plate of nachos. Super yummy. Husband enjoyed the 4 street taco combo and I had the quesadillas with 2 tacos. It's a lot of food for a decent price. read more

Originally operating out of a truck in Garden City, on June 21 the nice people who own Tacos Loteria moved into a brick and mortar space in Meridian in the building that used to house Von's Chicken in a strip mall with its' own parking lot. If you liked the truck food you'll like the food here. Improvements: If you hated the truck location (hand raised) you'll like this so much better. Plus there is a loo (his and hers) and also accessible parking (aka ADA compliant) just a bit down from the eatery entry and unlike the truck location where picnic tables were inaccessible, there is standard table height seating here. Hours: Closed Monday. Open at 11a all other days. Correct Address: The Yelp page still shows the Garden City truck location. But the correct location is 950 E. Fairview in Meridian. I'm going to ask Yelp to correct this in the listing. Boise Dev article to confirm move: https://boisedev.com/news/2025/06/18/tacos-loteria-meridian-garden-city-vons-chicken/ read more

So far I've tried the green chicken and red pork tamales, chicken and asada street tacos, all of their sauces, beans and rice. All were served fresh, hot and wonderful. Very tasty sauces. I do wish they had a salsa. They have a different approach to chips and salsa (complimentary), They serve a plate of chips lightly drizzled with queso and refried beans. Also very good. Service is always prompt and with a smile. Ambiance is nice, a little loud when busy. read more

Ok, so I finally went back to try the chicken fajitas. I had a sit down experience this time. Here's the good: friendly service, food came out pretty quick. That's it. I guess I just have to say that the type of Mexican food they serve must be authentic to the region the family is from. Not your typical dishes. That's not a bad thing, just something to know in advance. The not so good: They don't serve chips and salsa! I have NEVER been to a Mexican restaurant that did not serve chips and salsa. Server said they offer some nacho type thing on weekdays. The food: My friend's 4 carnitas street tacos had so much onion and cilantro she had to remove half. There was more onions/cilantro than there was meat, so that was weird. I was very disappointed in the chicken fajitas. The extremely flat chicken slices, maybe pounded so thin to cook quickly?, were marinated in a tomato based sauce, again something I have never come across previously. I didn't care for it. The beans were bland and flavorless, the rice needs something.? You can pay your check through the Toast app, a random option, or be charged $1.00 to pay with a credit card. I want this business to succeed, as they are all working hard, but it's just not the place for me. I would advise you ask questions about the food you order. read more

Tacos! Friendly waitstaff and the buffet on Saturday are bomb. One of the only places my kid asks to eat at. Weekend are busy

Visited new storefront in Meridian Super fast service 4 tacos w/ beans and rice 11.99 1 tamale 3.00 1 large drink 2.85 I got 2 carne asada tacos and 2 tacos de al pastor. The tortillas were pretty mushy barely holding together, but I think they were fresh and just too steamy. Al pastor were pretty good, better flavor. The carne asada didn't have much flavor. The rice was good but wet. At least good flavor like it was brothy and not just watery. Tamale was delicious moist and flavorful read more

I ordered the four tacos with rice and beans. Beans were watery, the gristle on the meat made it impossible to chew. I was so disappointed with this food!!! Needless to say I felt it pointless to complain. I'll never be back again. read more

I normally never leave reviews ever... this was next level bad. and I'm upset because it was over $60 for probably the worst food I've ever had. we ordered tacos sopes flan rice and beans and horchata and every single item was inedible. the rice tasted like uncle Ben's, the beans were a weird texture that was like slime, the horchata was watered down, the carne asada was pure fat and gristle, and the flan was the foulest texture I've ever seen. this place has to be a front because there's no way that is really what they're serving and making money. do not go there read more

Just tried this place for lunch. My husband had the 4 tacos lunch special and said each flavor of taco meat was excellent. I ordered the Pollo la Crema and it is the best I've had from a restaurant. We will be back for sure. read more

Visited their newly opened storefront location today and really enjoyed it! Ordered the shrimp and beef fajitas for $21 and it came with plenty of both including homemade tortillas and all the fixings. Very good and couldn't eat it all. The 3 different sauces were also good with the habenaro being quite hot but tasty. My wife ordered the chicken burrito and really like it too. We each brought home about 1/2 our meals. Service was fast and courteous, the owners were very cordial and aimed to please. Lunch check came to $34 and worth it. Would we go back, definitely. I would recommend it highly as a good value with great food. read more

Really good tacos, tamales, tortas, salsa, rice, etc. Very reasonable prices and good service. Kinda hidden, so find it.

Best ceviche and tacos! We were the only ones there but they greeted us with a smile and warm welcome! Was such a good experience will definitely be back! read more

I went in for this weekend, this place is not like the ordinary "Mexican" restaurant that's more Americanized than anything. I have been to Mexico and this is good just like that. Everything is homemade from the tortillas to every dish. You can see that the family takes their time & wants everything to be to our satisfaction. The servers there are very nice and polite. I asked about chips and salsa but They explained they do their nacho plate on weekdays cause that's what they offer while Ordering from their menu & on weekends they are packed so they can't be doing that since they have buffet( which is understandable) I recommend on trying the buffet from each dish to the desserts. The coffee is to die for, it's not like the coffee from here. I recommend this place to give it a try. Like I said this place is not like any Mexican restaurant don't expect to get ground beef or stuff you see in a restaurant (Mexican). Great environment I would also say if you don't want to wait the weekends are packed, but the wait is worth it! I wish this family all luck & hope their business succeeds read more

Ok, im a guy that eats a lot of tacos. After spending almost 30 years in the Pasco, Othello, Moses Lake WA area I know tacos. It's been difficult to find good tacos in the Boise area. I finally found them! This place is awesome and had fantastic tacos and burritos!!! If you love tacos check this place out! read more

Al pastor taco for the win. There are actual chunks of pineapple in the taco . Pollo and asada were good as well.
