I will stand by my 5-star for their street tacos. They are amazing. So, I needed to explore other aspects of the menu. After 2 more meals, I'm pulling back the rest of the menu to 3 stars. Meal of a beef tomal and azada enchalada with beans and rice. The beef tomal was pretty flavorless. The azada in the enchilada was the same used in the street taco, so it was really good. But then generic enchalada sauce, basic refried beans, and rice that was so dry there were crunchies - but not like the good, flavorful, caramelized paella crunchy. Asked the manager if they made the tomals because it was a way different beef flavor, and she insisted "yes." She was very disengaged, but at least I saw someone in the dining room cleaning the tables. Second meal was a pork tomal and lingua enchilada with beans and rice. Pork was better than the beef. There were a couple bites of the lingua that seemed... a little off, like it was old. Same beans, but at least the rice this time wasn't as dehydrated. The person attending the counter seemed to have an attitude and didn't feel like he wanted to be there. Never saw any of the tables wiped off in my 45 minutes there for lunch. So, street tacos - fantastic. Everything else so far, basic Mexican fare. read more

Taqueria Las Brazas - Beef tomal with asada enchilada, standard beans and crunch rice - Mexican Near Me - Boise, Idaho

this place was pretty awesome. I had a lot of fun but this guy next to me kept dropping all his food and it was like kind of distracting yeah and then there was tacos and the churros came with ice cream on ice cream Kyle Kyle and I had a burrito and later I'm gonna go to the toilet and then my butt hole is gonna explode and feel like hot but now we're getting excuse me now we're getting into the van and we're going to our next location, five stars five stars five stars they got a really good deal and if you're on a budget, you can get four tacos for 10 bucks and a drink and a small drink and a small free drink, but you could probably sneak it to a medium and be like what I didn't know I thought this was a small. read more

Good, authentic food that doesn't break the bank. Nothing fancy, but if you're looking for tasty and quick, I definitely recommend this place. They have some seafood on the menu which is rare for this area. Dined in on the first visit, been back for takeout a few times since and I've never been disappointed read more

So I'm always on the hunt for some good quesabirria and tacos in general. We've tried tons of taco places, so here's my pros/cons list: Pros: - Had the cheese pull and the perfect amount of cheese (Not overbearing or overflowing) - The birria meat was tender, good quality, and honestly a hefty amount (A++) - The taco shells were solid and not falling apart due to it being over saturated - The asada had pretty good flavor (maybe slightly too much on the lime side though) - The consume was pretty good and was not heavy at all in the cinnamon (we've visited a lot of places that are super heavy on the cinnamon for some reason. It shouldn't be the star of the show in my opinion, but rather a subtle/complimentary note. It was slightly overpowering on the lime side) Cons: - The asada meat quality seemed slightly low grade - The quesabirria was not crunchy in the slightest bit... something I'm always looking for after trying some top notch tacos in Cali - It was missing a little more flavor (I will say that we missed the hot sauce bar, so that could've added that additional flavor that was missing) Would we visit here again? Yes! And I would definitely try it with the sauces next time haha. read more

We visited mid-day recently for a late lunch. The Good: Food quality was really good. Both meals were fresh and substantial. Meals came out timely, not quite quickly, but in the amount of time I would expect it to take to assemble a fresh meal. The available salsas were all tasty. The Meh: The Bad - nothing to report here. read more

I was in the mood for some quesabirria today so I stopped into Taqueria Las Brazas today. Walked in and nobody was really up front. It did take a minute for someone to come out. When someone did, i was greeted with the most beautiful smile and hello! I appreciate how genuine she was greeting me. I had a couple questions about the menu. She answered them, got my goodies ordered and went on my way to find a table. I must have just missed the rush cause a majority of the tables were dirty. Dirty with food, cups and plates. I found a smaller table and just hung out till my food was ready. For lunch I ordered a carne asada taco, shredded beef taco and a quesabirria taco. At first look these babies were stacked! There was so much meat in eat taco. They were not lacking for sure! I grabbed some fresh lime and green salsa from the sauce bar. I started off with the quesabirria taco. It was hearty with birria meat. It was tender and flavorful! The carne asada taco was topped with fresh onion and cilantro. The meat was savory and abundant! I didn't get a chance to try the shredded beef taco just yet, I was too full. I did enjoy the flavors of the meat but the carne asada was on the dryer side. Adding lime and salsa did help but it was hard to chew. The quesabirria taco shell a a little too soft for me. I would have like a crispier texture to the corn tortilla. It also lacked cheese. There was no cheese pull what so ever. I'm happy that they sell single quesabirria tacos. It was nice to try it out at this joint. My first impression of this place wasn't the best considering the place was dirty. The food was decent but you get a lot of bang for your buck which is nice in today's economy. But I will give credit to the great customer service is was given! read more

This is a simple but clean and inviting restaurant. The food was served hot and was delicious. The sauces and salsas are made on site, and everything tasted homemade. The service was fast and friendly, and I will definitely be back with friends! read more

They have better pricing than most for 3 quesobirria tacos. Under $10. They have beer. Their weekday special is 99 cent tacos from 2 to 6 with a good choice of fillings. Salsa bar. They have menudo every day with hominy (unlike many other places). The menudo is a bit pricey (over $13). Tried the carnitas and adobada. Both good. Super fresh tortillas. Salsa bar has hot to mild salsas. Definitely a good deal during their 99 cent hours. Clean place, good parking, lots of tables. read more

Amazing food. My favorite tacos in the valley. Juicy carnitas I love the authentic feel of the restaurant too

Both of our meals were very good- the Carne Asada fries were outstanding. The portions were generous. The Service was excellent, and the place was spotlessly clean- thanks for dinner! read more

This is the spot for some authentic Mexican food. Being from the Cali Bay Area definitely recommend

This place is a hidden gem. I don't know why it doesn't have five stars all around me and my wife love coming here. It's the spot that we like to come to just the two of us. It's our spot. They are always consistent. The Al pastor is phenomenal and the lengua is the best ever. The tacos are cheap and they pack them so full it's ridiculous. A place you must go! read more

Hello Fine People of Yelpers! This taqueria is fairly new. Went there with my Honey Buns. We place the order at the counter. I ordered a wet carnitas burrito meal and he ordered a regular carnitas burrito. Was so nice they had horchata as a refillable option by the soda machine! Honey wanted to know what was roasting behind them. Was Al Pastor, said the nice man behind the counter. We did our order, got our drinks, and I asked the young man for a sample of the Al Pastor. He did bring it to the table and it was wonderful! Can't wait to go back again just for that in a dish! read more

One word: posole. Taqueria Las Brazas is the second restaurant from the family that operates Taqueria La Flama on Boise's Fairview Avenue. That restaurant became a mainstay at a location where Arctic Circle and a burger joint failed miserably. I love the tacos at both locations but I really crave their posole. Pork and hominy in a flavorful broth. Posole typically is a home-cook soup and a lot of restaurants don't serve it. Their version is the best in Boise and compares favorably with the posole served at upscale Amano in Caldwell. Las Brazas has a much smaller dining room, but the building is new and modern. It also lacks the salsa bar that sets La Flama apart, but there's plastic cups of red and green salsa in a small drink refrigerator near the front door. Service is fast and friendly. Las Brazas is closer to our home in Boise's West End, so it's likely to become our go-to spot rather than the Fairview location. read more

I've only gotten the steak taco plate because that's just what I like. They are so reasonably priced and all around great flavor. A lot of places I've been to around here charge $20 for the same plate and are pretty mediocre. Quick service, chill place. read more

Service was great, food was pretty bad. Ordered the " wet burrito" tasted like it was smothered in some kind of store-bought enchilada sauce.. None of the salsas had any salt although they did have decent heat. Horchata was good! Probably need to try to order something more authentic and see if that is better. Overall pretty meh considering the general quality of Mexican food in the Valley. read more

Friendly service and excellent food. Quesadillas and Relleno are great but the Al Pastor is the best in the valley. The rice & beans are also great which many restaurants slack on. Can't go wrong with an Al Pastor taco plate! read more

I've been here over 20 times and every single time it proves to be some of the best Mexican food in the valley. So pleased to have another restaurant here with amazing Mexican food. I always get asada gorditas and enchiladas verdes. Amazing every time. Highly recommend everything on their menu. Friendly staff. Great people. read more

Taqueria Las Brazas - Quesa-Birrias Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Boise, Idaho

My ceviche was okay, my taco (I thought I'd ordered Al pastor), it wasn't It would be a plus if you speak Spanish. Maybe she didn't understand what I said, I don't know. So it made no sense to ask what I was served, she wouldn't understand the question, nor I, the answer. There really was no ambiance. It was like a Dennys style. It was empty when we walked in, which is always kind of unnerving but a few people were there when we left. Don't think I would go out of my way to be there again read more

This is what Mexican food is in Baja and Alta California. Great tacos for 99 cents in the afternoon on Mon - Fri. Al pastor from a trompo (vertical spit) which makes all the difference in the world. Great cold beer selection. Quesobirria tacos, menudo, pozole and birria. Wow, all the best at good prices. Local folks need to support this business and the nice people who run it. read more

So disappointed. We love Mexican food and were very excited to try this place. There were no other cars in the parking lot when we arrived but still wanted to try this new place. We ordered two orders of Mulitas Al pastor and two chiles rellenos. The kids got kids burritos. Out total for the 4 of us came to Just over $50 before tip. I almost cancelled the order when they took the chiles out and threw them in the microwave. I didn't cancel and didn't ask for a refund. It was our choice to eat here, we just won't do it again. The beans taste canned, the rice was crunchy, the marinade for the Al pastor was canned enchilada sauce with canned pineapple. I would've rather had Taco Bell and I hate Taco Bell. read more

Disgusting place. How are they still open? They touched multiple surfaces with visibly soiled gloves then made my food. I placed an order online for a pick up time of 6:25pm. I arrived at 6:35pm and they looked at me dumb founded that I placed an order. They rushed to make the order. $13 for a tiny burrito. They pictures on here are definitely of from the same restaurant. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

Worse meal we've ever had in Boise. I don't know how on earth they got 4-5 stars. The waitress was nice....

I finally found Tex Mex in Boise! And they have beer too. Will be stopping by regularly from now on. Staff was very pleasant too.

Went in and ordered the enchiladas. Food was not as good as I was expecting because of these reviews. The rice was hard and food had tasted like it was just warmed up. Nothing tasted fresh and had a weird taste when it came to the lettuce. Service was great but will not be going back. read more

Ordered the enchiladas and they were dry with barely any sauce and tasted like it was microwave. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Great food with amazing flavors. Sauces were just ok except for the habanero sauce, that is bomb. Good portion size and solid value.

Very savory and authentic. Have had multiple items and will be back. I love Carnitas and these did not disappoint.

Great food and great service. We live in Southern California the home of Mexican food in the west and this is as good or better than anything I've ever had in the last 70 years. Had a tamale and cheese enchiladas both were excellent. We definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

I heard this place was pretty good, so I stopped in today for a bowl of menudo. I learned afterward that you need to request hominy when you order. Mental note for next time. Service was pretty good, although I waited 10m after they served me to get the garnishes, but that isn't too big a deal. The menudo was fantastic, and I'm picky. I usually only like my own, but this was delicious. The fish platter looked amazing, as did the enchiladas. I may have found my favorite Mexican restaurant. 4 out of 5 stars until I visit again and try other dishes. read more
