47 Best Mexican Restaurants in Boise

“The food and overall atmosphere was great for Sunday brunch, but apparently they employ a DJ to play music on Sundays during brunch which is so loud, it was extremely difficult to carry on a conversation let alone enjoy your meal. My ears are still ringing. My friend and I weren’t the only people in the restaurant requesting the volume to be decreased. Brunch should be a relaxing atmosphere, not feeling like you are at a night club….“

“Best Mexican food ever everything is so good and fast and warm people are very nice excellent service“

“Tldr pretty authentic Mexican food and I'd like to try more of it.

First time coming here and it wasn't a bad experience, the staff was friendly and pretty quick with my food. I ordered the gordita which was enjoyable but a lil different from what I'm used too have more southern/central Mexican gorditas. I'll have to try the other dishes. I just wish the salsa verde had more kick because I enjoy the flavor or salsa verde compared to the salsa roja.“

“The Carne was cooked to perfection, as stated on the menu. It was hands down the best thin steak I’ve ever had.

Cooked to a medium. Moist/Juicy. And tender. I notified the waitress of my experience.

Would recommend. Corn tortillas were also great with it, but the carne alone was amazing.“

“Just opened, just tried and yum. Ever heard of Charro beans, highly recommend.“

“Great place 🤩🤩 Love their food 😋😋“

“just wonderful. service and food.“

“Good food, excellent service😀“

“Thank you, Tin Roof Tacos, for your support of our community event today! That salsa - oh my! Your food and friendship are SO appreciated! 🥰“

“Great food and better service.“

“The tortillas, tortilla chips, guacamole, and tacos were exceptional. The restaurant doesn’t look like much, but the food is excellent and I definitely enjoyed it. I wasn’t a fan of the refried beans, but everything else was good. I’d definitely recommend this hidden gem!“

“This is approx my 6th taco truck to review in the Boise area as it was close to home and it opened at 10:00 am which was a plus. I ordered the carnitas and the Al Pastor street tacos and enjoyed sitting outside on the lively pick nick tables. They had then ready pretty fast and brought them on a plastic tray which was a nice idea. The carnitas taco was very tender but it needed a bit more spice and crispness and the Al Pastor street tacos were the best I have tried so far. The man and the lady were very pleasant and the price point was 2.50 per taco so they were very reasonably priced. Go support this lovely taco truck here in the Boise area.“

“We had a wonderful dinner and cocktails at Andrades for my birthday last night! Javier was even our waiter and the most wonderful person! Food came out fast and delicious. We will be back soon for sure.“

“Great people and amazing food“

“Really good food ! We like the authenticity of the food and the hours are convenient for us too.“

“I’m from New Mexico and was looking for a good breakfast burrito with good chili 🌶️ sauce or fresh salsa. Los Betos was the only one that was open earlier than others. I ordered a bacon burrito and sausage burrito to-go. Asked for chili and they gave me an exceptional amount of red and green sauce in containers. Drive thru and service was quick! The breakfast burrito was huge! Chili sauces were very tasty with some heat. This hit totally the spot! I will be back to try other things on the menu but the breakfast burrito was great! 👍🏽“

“Traveling out of town and live in a town that has more Mexican food restaurants than you can count on two hands. The tacos al pastor burrito here blew everything I've ever had out of the water! The girls were friendly and the food was fast and hot. If ever back in town I would definitely eat here again.“

“I’ve eaten here probably 50+ times and everything is so delicious! Made from scratch. Best Mexican food in Boise!!“

“Back to Greatness!

I stopped in on Thursday for tacos and was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by several new faces. It really feels like this location has returned to its former greatness with the recent changes in staff.

The last time I visited a few weeks ago, the lights were all off around 9 p.m., and I thought the store had changed its hours. Jeff, the manager, kindly explained that it wasn’t normal procedure and was very apologetic about the situation.

This visit was a completely different experience—the staff was friendly, the food was fresh and delicious, and everything looked clean and inviting. I’m really happy with the improvements at this location and will definitely be back for Taco Thursday!“

“The staff in Nampa was BEYOND any place we have ever gone! Such well mannered attentive and super fast after ordering! I can’t get over how well mannered and friendly the staff was!! This place happily earned my business off the staff and amazing food!!“

“Good service, good food, cute employees and owner. Woo hoo“

“Louisiana Soul Bayou has authentic Cajun cuisine which compliments Chow Public Market and Eatery relaxed and inviting ambiance....“

“While the price might be more than TB they keep the place spotless, have TV's. Food is actually made well by people that seem to care a bit. I even skipped out the kitchen and it's clean, not food all over the floor. Good stuff. Thank you Taco Time!“

“I can’t wait to chow down on these! I’ve got a crispy meat burrito, a crispy taco, Mexi Fried and some Crustos!! And I will wash it down with an ice cold Root Beer, I have never been disappointed coming here and the service was quick and friendly, For fast food and a reasonable price, this is the place,“

“I love everything about Costa Vida. It’s quick and “picky eater” friendly. The portions are perfectly sized and made to your specifications. My grandson says they make the best tortillas!🤣 i highly recommend!“

“California Mexican Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I tried this Boise fast food Mexican restaurant today for the first time. I got the #18 combo, which is 2 Chile Rellenos, Rice & Beans with tortillas for a little less than $10. I went through the drive-through. The service was fast. I was impressed with the weight of the bag. I was even more impressed when I got back to my office and opened up the box. The food looked fantastic! I liked that the Chile Rellenos came with sour cream and a guacamole-like topping. They were made with nice sized poblano chilies. The flavor was good, and they were full of oozing cheese. If I was to rate these based on appearance and flavor, alone, I would rate them 4/5. However, the seeds were not removed from the poblano chilies before cooking them. Every single recipe I’ve seen for Chile Rellenos instructs you to remove the seeds. You don’t realize why that’s important until you get one with seeds. Eating a bunch of hard plant matter along with one’s Chile Relleno is not a pleasant experience. I’m not sure if this was a one off, or if this is how they normally prepare Chile Rellenos at California Mexican Food. The refried beans looked good, but they tasted sour. The rice was OK. I like that the meal comes with your choice of corn or flour tortillas. I chose flour. The tortillas seemed thick and homemade.“

“They used to be really good. We liked their Pico de Gallo but now has pungent green bell peppers instead of cilantro. The chicken is hard, dried out, in tacos and burritos. Hope they go back to what they were. We won't go back until they do.“

“This place is delicious and very reasonable. I had the taco salad. The lettuce was crisp, beans and rice well seasoned, the chicken was exceptional. Tortilla bowl was large and crispy. My husband had a chicken burrito. The fillings were delicious and evenly distributed. The tortilla around the fillings was the best he has tasted. We will definitely go again as soon as possible. Love this place.“

“Amazing... It saved us from the pizzaburgerpizzaburger routine as tourists, who looked for an affordable food that doesn't include pizza or burgers 😜“

“Cafe Rio makes it so easy to do business with. I order catering a lot in different cities and it’s always easy, accurate and ready to go when I need it. Mariah was super friendly and double checked everything to make it correct. Definitely recommend.“

“You have the patience of angels! Happy first day of school 2022! My tacos, as always, were great!“

“Food is always delicious. Servers are friendly and efficient. They check back just enough to not disturb. However, I do feel the prices are high (but that’s par for the course now days). Also, they charge an additional fee if you use a credit or debit card. It’s difficult to stay under $65 with a 20% tip. Our favorites here are the seafood chimichanga and beef fajitas. Delicious.“

“We have had the best crispy tacos, and yesterday I had the best Carne Asada burrito I’ve ever had in my life. Congratulations Beto’s restaurant best Mexican food in Idaho since I’ve moved here in January.“

“The ladies who served me today were so nice and welcoming. I felt at home. The food was perfect. All the employees were so pleasant that it seemed they loved their job. They kept everything clean and were all smiles. They made my special request and it was perfect! :D I always love the food and staff here. It had been awhile but I won't wait so long to return!“

“Excellent food and very friendly Folk's ❤“
