I don't know what happened but this location was the first time I've never sat at a bar only to be ignored by a the bartender while people who sat next to me were immediately attended. I was lucky that one of the bar tenders eventually got to me but I was clearly not her side of the bar. I left her a tip but I worry that it may not have gone to her as the male bartender who ignored me thanked me for the tip.

Drinks are great but the food is average, much better and cheaper options in town for Mexican food.

A nice place (decor wise). When it comes down to food, mm my expectations weren't met. I asked for Rib eye tacos, the tortilla was flour tortillas (cold). The beans were undercooked, & the rice was tasteless. We also ordered Chiles rellenos; it was more of the pepper topped with nacho ingredients poured over it.. We also ordered cocktails, they were alright.

We came in for drinks and the chile relleno dip, but the food was so good and we were having so much fun we decided to stay for dinner. You will not find a harder working, more pleasant staff in all of Boise! Tatum took great care of us and made sure we had a great time. If we lived closer, we'd be regulars!

This place was amazing! The non-alcoholic menu was superb as well as the food. If you're ever at the location downtown, ask for Ivana who's a waitress with the best personality hands down. Chris, who's the manager was so accommodating to us. I highly recommend this location especially if you're visiting like we were.

Tragically poor food. We've had take-out about half a dozen times and it really is terrible. Lots of rice and bean fillers, with poorly prepared and scant quantity of cheap meats. Burritos, chimichangas, enchiladas, and chile relleno were all disappointing. Tortilla chips and tortillas aren't even housemade. Stuffed jalapeños were satisfactory, but it would be hard to mess up bacon, wrapped around a cheese stuffed pepper. We infinitely prefer Garibaldi's on Glenwood.

Our server was not good. He was not responsive and did not deliver one single item. He made delicious food and drink look terrible.
