As someone who has eaten a lot of Mexican food in southern CA and in Baja CA, this is the closest match I've found in northern ID. The generous portions of al pastor and carne asada are on point and their carne asada fries/steak fries are just like the California fries I used to get! Some folks don't like fattier meats but I love it and think it adds great flavor. Their beans and rice are yummy too and their salsa is fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I loved this restaurant, it was one of my favorites but I'm not going to go there anymore because there is a Cuban saleswoman with a very bad character. I asked her a question about the menu and she responded rudely. They should reconsider removing her because they will lose many customers.

This might be the only real Mexican food in the area. Everything I've had here is delicious and full of flavor. The only complaint I have is that that they are only open till 6pm (only till 4pm on Saturdays). I wish they would open a second location in a full-sized restaurant and stay open later. This restaurant definitely deserves to be bigger and in a nicer spot.

This is everything I want: flavorful Mexican food, beautiful and vivacious cantina, and large portions!I had the the pastor burrito with green sauce; it was rich and tangy, with enough spice to loosen the sinuses, but not enough to cause actual fire in your mouth ( or other places). The pork itself was crispy yet juicy. This sucker was big enough for two meals for me... It was huge!Can't wait to go back.

Their tamales and red and green sauce are AMAZING! So so delicious. We ordered a big batch of pork tamales around Christmas time and they were so moist, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. We ate tamales for every meal one day because we couldn't get enough. :) my husband gets lunch here often (likely tacos) and loves them so I’ll be trying more items off their menu now too. Thanks for making the best tamale I’ve ever had!
