The BEST tacos/Mexican food in South East Idaho! Being from California, the bar is VERY high in regards to good, authentic Mexican food. Tacos are my absolute FAVORITE! They have a salsa/hot sauce bar, each with different heat levels. They have a soda fountain in addition to Horchata! The entire location feels clean! The restaurant is owned and operated by a wonderful family. The owners speak both Spanish and English. I did have a medical emergency at the restaurant and I haven't been back since, but they all treated me so well. I'm very grateful. My observations; 1. Service is efficient and quick! The menu is Massive! 9/10 2. The Horchata is PERFECT! Flavor is the best I've ever tasted. 10/10 3. The food is clean & so is the restaurant! 9/10 4.The only negative is that there is no Apple Pay. 5/10 read more

Great tacos, seasoned very well, tastes like the tortillas are homemade. Quick and friendly service, as well as very reasonable prices. Also, very cool location being in an old school bus. read more

10/10- The New owners are amazing! New owners just bought the bus, and completely renovated the inside. They did such a great job, food as well it's the most authentic Mexican style food I have had in Rexburg since living here for the last four years. You need to take your next family night/date night and try all their great food options. I think the best part is the inside of the bus! Food trucks are always super fun, but when winter time comes around it makes it really hard to enjoy them, here they have indoor seating. You just can't deny the fact that the new owners truly care about their business and it shows from the way they operate and manage their business as well as the quality of their food. You won't regret checking out this great food bus! read more

Hidden authentic Mexican gem! They have transformed an old school bus into a small restaurant. The staff is friendly and food is served quickly. You can either eat inside the bus or outside. We got our order to-go. The price was cheap and the tacos were really good. If you are looking for authentic Mexican tacos, this is the place go! read more

It's half decent. The food is extremely Americanized, but it's still pretty good if you're looking for average Mexican food that's slightly better than Taco Bell read more

Apparently this place either no longer exists or is going out of business. Whatever you do, don't call the phone number unless you like being treated rudely, cussed at and hung up on. I tried to tell him that his phone number is still linked to this Yelp listing but he just cussed at me. read more

The best Mexican food in Rexburg! I love the Chicken Taquitos and the 4 tacos! They have a bus location and a sit down place, both are awesome! The bus has a nice college town feel to it, which I like. read more

I moved here 9 years ago and this was the first Mexican restaurant I went to here in Idaho and I'll tell you, it's still one I go to 9 years later. The food is really good, the service has been really good and the prices are not bad. read more

It feels like a taco bus with 4 walls. And I'm perfectly OK with that, because it means I don't have to sit next to a jammed school-bus door in the dead of winter warming my hands over fading taco-steam. And yet...the tacos within this 4-walled wonder are every bit as good. You'll love this place even more when you realize that you don't have to divide your attention between impending frostbite and succulent tacos al pastor. You can peaceably give your undivided love to your tacos or mulitas or fajitas or chimichanga or drenched burrito or any number of other delights. Even the aguas frescas from the tap are good here. read more

I love their quesadillas, super quesadillas, tacos and more. Love this place. Great service and amazing food

The fact that this was a bus you can eat on makes the experience. The prices are great, the portions fair. I had the steak Macho Burrito. It could have used more seasoning but things about Idaho were explained. White people don't do spicey food. I had not heard that and I've been white my whole life. And I like spice and flavor. Fun experience but when it's 20 out side and the bus is heated to 48, well, eat fast or get it to go. read more

I love the food here. Been going here for years. I would recommend for sure. Prices are not too high. Food is authentic and tastey.

Best Mexican food in town. Super tasty Yelp wants my review to be longer Blah blah blah read more

Wow! This is one of Rexburg's hidden gems, but there's no secret to their success. This is just really good Mexican food, which explains their loyal and devoted clientele. Their big menu is more like what you'd expect from a sit down restaurant. How can one little "taco bus" have such a big menu? They have everything from tacos to chimichangas to tortas (a Mexican sandwich) to dinner style items. The steak ranchero platter is incredible, as are the camarones rancheros (shrimp). They also have hard to find entrees like mulitas. All of the entrees come with a choice of meats: beef steak, shredded beef, spicy pork, regular pork, chicken, and tongue (it's delicious...try it). For lunch, I like the spicy pork torta; it is big, delicious and loaded with flavor. Their burritos are also real tasty-just the right combination and balance of ingredients. You can get the entrees combo plate style with beans and rice. Although many people order to-go, there is seating available inside the bus. It's a bit cramped, but most people don't seem to mind because the food is so good--you simply don't notice you're eating on a bus. This is one of two "taco buses" in town. While both are very good and certainly worth a try, in my humble opinion Taqueria El Rancho is slightly the better of the two. It's large menu and addictive flavors give it the narrow edge. If you've never had tacos from a bus, now is the time and this is the place to take the plunge--you won't be sorry. There's a good reason why they have such diverse and loyal customers. This many RM's and Latinos can't be wrong. read more

Super good. Honestly I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food but the tacos here are incredible every time.

Pros... -It's a freaking SCHOOLBUS converted to a Taco Truck with seating inside. Massive bonus coolness. -Get the Burrito a la Crema (feeds 2 for $6) -4 taco plate ($5.50) on homemade flour tortillas. -Jarritos in EVERY flavor -Taco and food options galore. There is a plate for every Pokemon character ever made. Cons... -SKIP the rice and beans, it's too salty. Or let your friend have it if they are drunk. They will love you. -No chips and salsa!? Bummer. -No house salsa?! Bummer bummers. ----- TACOS!! It's official in Idaho Falls- there is a place to get tacos! I got the 4 Taco plate- basic LA street cart tacos. My wife got the taco+enchilada plate w/ rice and beans. I'll be honest, these are real Central Americans making food for probably drunk BYU students of all backgrounds, so they use a lot of salt in the beans and rice to please everybody. The marinade for the carne asada and pollo is the bomb. Some girl next to me got the Burrito a la Crema- it could feed 2 people and she slobbered on it hard. Tacos for life. read more

My friend & I have eaten here a few times in the past few years. We both like it for the most part. We both like how they have pictures of the menu items posted up on the wall so u can see & read what all the ingredients r. I have acid reflex so I always double check if something on the menu is going to be too spicy for my insides. The staff is very helpful. The one draw back for me eating here is isles is kind of narrow to try to walk through when you got walking canes. Where to set my canes out of way of other people while the Restaurant is really busy for lunch crowd. Plus You better get your drink cup filled at fountain before u sit down at that very 1st little table. It's a pain to get right back up to get it filled. & if not u turn into the people into the line for next customers to place their own orders The restaurant is always clean. The people r nice. Food is always served hot & delicious. Great serving size portions. Most times we need a doggy bag of left overs home cause we were so full. read more

This is probably the best Mexican in town in regard to taste (that's really not saying much). They have good flavors in everything that I have tried. The quality of meat, on the other hand, could definitely be better. The Carne Asada is very chewy, a little dry, and almost more like ground beef. But like I said their flavor is there so that makes it more worth it. One thing that has always really bothered me is that they do not have green enchilada sauce. This is the ONLY Mexican "Restaurant" that I have been to that does not have both green and red sauce. Unfortunately we have always needed to microwave our meals because we bite into them and they are always cold in the middle. So cold the cheese isn't even close to melted. It would be a little frustrating to eat at the bus and either make the cooks warm your food or just deal with a cold meal. We made the mistake of going there today(Cinco De Mayo) and it was packed, of course. I'm not sure if it's because they were really busy or if they really don't take special orders but I ordered a simple carne asada burrito with enchilada sauce on top(a very popular thing back home) and they wouldn't do it even though almost every burrito on their menu has enchilada sauce on it. No idea why that would be so difficult. I ended up taking it home and putting my own enchilada sauce on it. SUMMARY: Good flavor. Quality of meat is fair. Food often comes out cold. Service is fast but not very cooperative. Atmosphere is cramped inside when busy. read more

I once ate that this establishment for years and I felt 2 feelings the more I went here. 1. They keep raising the prices 2. The quality of food didn't live up to the price With those 2 feelings taking my thought I eventually got tired of eating there. I later turned myself to Casa de Ochoa with I have now gone there ever since. The only thing I would ever go back here for is for the $5 breakfast burrito, and that is because I feel like the price and quality match. read more

Had a craving for an enchilada and it was met fairly well. I also got a taco, with rice and beans. Ranking: Chicken Street Taco: 88/100 Enchilada: 75/100 Rice & beans: 50/100 (fair... a bit bland) Customer service was really great! I love it when restaurants offer me sauce and they have a pretty good salsa verde. It was slow so I got my food super fast which was nice. Price was fair. Best quick service Mexican food in Rexburg! read more

i cannot complain. good serving sizes if you hungry but not super hungry but would still like to eat ! i enjoy the burritos! so big i like big read more

Very good Mexican food at a good price. They were my favorite Mexican restaurant in Rexburg until the Casa De Ochoa started up. T.E.R. is definitely worth giving a try. I really like the folks who work there and the food. read more

We always stop in at the taco bus whenever we are in Rexburg. It has become a family tradition. The food is hot, delicious, and authentic. We love it! read more

I still have dreams of this place... I've graduated from BYU-I and have moved on elsewhere but man oh man. These tacos. They are so good. Nowhere else have I found tacos like these. Don't let the kitchen in a bus fool you. I wasted years not eating here because that kinda weirded me out. They make a mean taco for such little space. Definitely don't waste your time with any other taco bus, come here, don't waste your money on those wanna be taco buses. Walk yourself in there, buy three carne sada tacos, your favorite soda and get ready for some YUM. read more

I'd like to preface my review by saying this is not your typical sit-down restaurant. If you are looking for a sit-down joint with servers, this is not the place. Taqueria El Rancho has a taco bus and a sit-down location in Rexburg. Both locations have you order and pay, then you can sit down, wait for your food, and eat there. I would say this is hands-down the best bang for your buck in Rexburg. They have great deals on a plate of tacos (4 tacos for $5), and a few different fajita options under $10. The food is delicious, they have horchata and sometimes Aguasfrescas, and the price is definitely right. read more

Their pork and chicken carnitas are the bomb! It is very authentic food. If you like salty things go for the pork all the way! Much better than the taco buses in Rexburg. They have a good sitting area. read more

The most authentic mex in rexburg. Everything is really cheap and everything on the menu is great.

Restaurant in a school bus... this is not a drill! It is a school bus converted into a Taco Truck with seating inside. If you're lucky you can catch a soccer game on TV in Spanish and enjoy a quick meal at the bar seating inside. So original. Orders are taken from inside or outside and the service is so fast. The food is great and coming from Arizona....It's pretty good Mexican food. The Coke bottles are a must for a drink. The taco's are cheap, we're talking 1.50 and the burritos are amazing. It would be even better if there was a house salsa! Squeeze lime over everything, you won't regret it. read more

Being a lazy college student at Rockland apartments made me come here a lot lol. A little less fancy then the Tacos Tepito as you walk in, but just like Tacos Tepito it's simply a bus with cookers in the back with a TV in the front playing Mexican Soap Operas. I love it ha. Carne Asada Burrito was purchased. It was good. Nothing special. There were a LOT of beans in it. I suppose to cut down the cost of the meat they put in. But was good nonetheless. And at $4.50 it was a price that couldn't be beat. Probably one of the cheapest places in Rexburg, and definitely the cheapest burrito in Rexburg. Quality Mexican is hard to come by here, if you want quality hit up Julio's Tacos Izcalli by Broulim's, it's more expenisive, but better quality. Good cheap burritos close to college apartments AND mexican soap operas AND you get to see the local mexicans AND its in a frickin bus. Bro.... Give it a shot.... Its pretty good. Try it and see if you like it ;) read more

This is the worst food I have ever had. I am Hispanic and this is a shame to my people and culture. I got an al pastor burrito and virtually got no meat and all rice beans and sour cream. The place is dirty and I do not recommend this place. Stop being blinded by all of these fake reviews. If you like this food you have never eaten real Mexican food. read more

In all honesty, it was not even all that great, and I'm Latino, so that's got to count for something. Their smothered burrito was not as satisfactory as many made it out to seem. Their service was pretty lame too. Granted it was fast, but not as courteous as I hoped. For those that think this is the real "Taco Bus of Rexburg" think again! The real one is on the way to Walmart and it's called Tacos Tepito. That is where you should go for all your taco bus needs. read more
