    My family and I went to Taqueria Malverde after visiting Yellowstone National Park and were excited to get dinner that wasn't burgers or sandwiches. The Forbes Yellowstone book mentions it and the Yelp reviews were good, so we decided to give them a try. Taqueria Malverde is open until 9pm most if not all days of the week and they have people lined up outside their truck fight until closing time. Note that this place is a taco truck in West Yellowstone and so they only have outdoor seating and takeout. With that said, they have an extensive menu that is not only limited to tacos but also includes burritos, pozole, tamales, platos, and tortas. The workers all speak fluent Spanish and English. They also make their own fresh tortillas in house. We ordered two PLATO POLLO (CHICKEN) TAMALES ($13.99) and one PLATO CARNE ASADA ($19.99) to go. Note that they only have outdoor seating and the mosquitos are out in the evening. The PLATO TAMALES came with two tamales, but they were unfortunately tasteless and the chicken inside of them was dry. They really needed the salsa verde (or salsa rojo) to give them some taste. The rice and beans were good though. They were maybe 4 inches in length and so one plate can really only fill one person. For $13.99, the plate was pretty steep for what we got. The PLATO CARNE ASADA was slightly better, but not by much. The beef was tough, dry, and stringy and tasted more like jerky than carne asada. It came with 3 small flour tortillas, lettuce, tomato, grilled onion, grilled jalapeño, and avocado. Again, the rice and the beans were the highlight of the meal, although the vegetables tasted fresh. Service was good and we got our food within 15-20 minutes after ordering. So why the one star instead of maybe two or two and a half stars? They only gave us one plate of tamales, even though we paid for two plates. It wasn't until we got back to our hotel in Island Park that we realized we only had two out of three of our dishes. Maybe the plate had gotten left behind or maybe it was poor communication between the cashier and the served. Regardless, we spent $16 more with tax and tip than we received. Rule of thumb: If you go here, make sure to check your order before you leave the truck. Overall: 2/5 for food, 1/5 for service

    Tamales

    It's a food truck in a small tourist town. I didn't expect too much but the quality is actually very decent. They are fast in taking order and preparing food. We waited for less than 5 minutes. Must try: spicy pork tacos. Veggie quesadilla: the shell was a bit burned, but overall it's a good quesadilla filled with mushrooms. Tamales was ok, I have had better tamales before.

    Chicken & Chorizo Taco

    After trying the other two taco places in town this place was just alright. The food came out pretty quickly and there were plenty of tables to sit and enjoy our food. The tortillas were homemade but didn't really stick out compared to other ones we tried that day. The chicken taco had no seasoning on it and was dry - good thing we had salsa to fix that! My chorizo taco was good but saltier than my last which was very noticeable. We got a vegetable burrito to go for a friend and she enjoyed her burrito and said it was pretty average.

    We stopped here after seeing Yellowstone. They had friendly service and had great suggestions. I had the chili relleno with rice and beans (I rate that a five), definitely the best one I've had in a long time (and I try them every chance I get). Everything was very authentic Mexican, even the rice and beans which I also really liked!! . The street tacos were good, liked the pastor meat better (it was juicier) than the steak. We also had the enchiladas which were also very good with good sauce and fresh toppings (just wish they were served hotter (they were lukewarm warm). Ambiance laid back, outside, pet and kid friendly. We would go back and we definitely recommend it.

    Carnitas sope

    Don't be fooled by the closed listing on Yelp-- this food bus is definitely open for business. The line can get pretty long during peak dining and we waited close to 15 minutes for our food. Overall, it was pretty good! + sopes + chorizo and carnitas were the tastiest meats + salsa had a nice kick to it + friendly employees - pollo is shredded and boiled with no flavor at all - menus have changed so don't rely on what is posted on Yelp or previous menu pics

    The Good: :: local business! cute food truck setup :: lots of outdoor seating :: tasty food. not the best Mexican food i've had, but it is good and reliable :: menu has a lot of offerings--quesadillas, carne asada, fajitas, and more :: go for the horchata--they make it themselves and it's delectable :: friendly service The Bad: :: none The Ugly: :: none Would I go back? For a Mexican food fix while in Yellowstone, sure. It does the job and hits the spot. This place is IN.

    Carne asada fries
    Huong L.

    The Mexican food scene here is not as good as Seattle but still pretty good. This is located at the west entrance of Yellowstone and it's a good truck near firehole bbq. Looking over the menu, I wanted the fish dish but apparently they didn't have it, so we decided to go for the carne asada fries and the taco/enchiladas dish. The taco/enchilada was ok. For the taco, we got lengua, steak and pork. The lengua was my favorite as it was super tender. The other two was standard. The enchilada was ok as well. The carne asada was really good. They use smaller cut fries and did not melt the cheese and gave a lot of meat. Definitely one of the better ones. Price is on the higher side for what I'm use to back at home. The 3 taco and enchilada plate was $10, this would have been ok if it came with rice and beans. The carne asada is $3-4 more than what I usually pay as well. Overall, it was ok

    The Falafel Spot - Falafel humus plate: amazing humus, great falafel, light and delicious

    The Falafel Spot

    Spending three days in West Yellowstone, Montana, I didn't conduct a thorough research for vegan…read moreoptions, so after leaving Yellowstone late last night many restaurants were already closed. I got scared because I didn't want to solely eat protein bars. I quick Google and Yelp search secured this falafel spot. I was shocked and didn't expect to find falafels in Montana of all places. Thankfully, the falafels are VEGAN!! It's a one man show meaning, the owner takes the orders and cooks the food. The falafels are MADE to ORDER, so the wait time is quite long. He takes two orders per person not to lose track of orders. I ordered the falafel combo which comes with six falafels, rice, hummus, a small salad, and a drink all for $20/even. Even though the card machine says $.60 cent tax, the owner won't accept and is firm about the solid bill. Now for the food: the falafels were very tasty. Savory; not gritty or chunky. The falafels are hockey pucks, not round balls. I appreciate the shape since they were easier to dig out the hummus. The hummus was not my favorite thing. It tasted like straight tahini with chickpeas. No lemony flavor. It wasn't gross, but the taste of tahini is acquired alone. The salad is a mixture of onions, shredded lettuce, and tomatoes. Nothing extravagant, but was fresh. The rice is yellow with faint seasoning, but it is delicious fluffy and cooked well. The location is a tad bit confusing though; if using Google maps it'll take you to the wrong Chevron. To locate the food truck, go to the Chevron gas station in front of a clothing store and next general store with the ice cream out front. The owner was very nice and on a Saturday night, he didn't close at 10pm like Google says. It stays open later. Food hit the spot after exploring Yellowstone all day. I slept like a baby!

    I've had a lot of falafel so I know good falafel when I have it. We had the combo plate (very large…read moreportion) and a Regular wrap. Both were excellent and made very fresh. The guy that runs it (Alon I think) takes pride in his food and you can tell. West Yosemite seems to be a desert for good, healthy fresh food but The Falafel Spot was the oasis.

    Delicious & messy food, craft beer, cocktails. Live music. Patio & indoor seating…read more All 14 of us gathered here on a weekday evening! One of few venues that would take reservations of this size group. They have a good amount of indoor seating. We sat on the umbrellaed patio, near the musician, just around the corner of the bar from games like cornhole. They were busy, but service was attentive. Many of us had craft beers and cocktails. Everyone was pleased, but i could not list all the beverages for you. We had at least one yummy fresh arugula salad with sirloin cooked-to-order and a lot of flavorful bacon, blue cheese crumbles, green onion, tomatoes, balsamic glaze, and thick "Texas" toast. We shared a number of the many appetizers: Crispy-coated sweet-chili Thai Shrimp were rather small but quite tasty. The tray of nachos was a glorious mess of beans, sauces and crema, mixed melty cheeses, olives, and meat ... i think we got the rich ground "buffalo". The "buffalo balls" were even messier: meatballs in deep gravy over mashed potatoes smothered in sautéed onions and mushrooms. We had "chicken "bites" with two of their yummy flavorings. The soft pretzels and cheese were long thick almost-loaves. And i completely lost track of the mains: several of their loaded burgers and overloaded tacos. The star was the 12oz medium-rare ribeye, topped with herb butter & demi glacé, loaded garlic redskin mashed potatoes, & thick garlic toast. This was a great immersion in great food, drink, ant atmosphere. The $44 ribeye was one of the top-two steaks we had during our trip. (July 2026). Pro tip: every steak is town was good, even the bargains you can find with a little hunting. But be sure to pay a little more once or twice to get the best.

    We spotted this restaurant online while driving in to town to our hotel we had for the next couple…read moreof days. The photos looked amazing, so after we checked in, we drove a few blocks to the place. Parking is limited but we luckily scored a spot. Atmosphere is very cool, bar/restaurant like with sports playing on large TVs throughout. It was kind of warm in there...not sure if they had a working A/C or if it just couldn't keep up with the bodies inside. There was a wait to be seated but not too bad. Maybe 15 mins and the place was packed. We were seated at a bar-like table between the actual bar seating and tables. The waitress was nice and had personality but was a bit stressed out and a little testy after we asked about our food 30+ mins after ordering it. Even the drinks took a long time to be served. I finally gave up and ran to the restroom...of course the food came as soon as I left. It works that way a lot for me. lol The drinks were good - the food was pretty good. Prices are expensive here, but pretty much on par with the rest of the restaurants in town. It's a tourist town in high season and they all know it. We determined not to come back for the next day's meals based on the slow speed of service and try different places in town instead.
