“I'm always on the lookout for authentic San Diego style Mexican food. I try this place for the first time today and I had a quick snack of loaded tacos carne asada of courseI was very impressed very impressed with their salsa very impressed with their presentation and the foodI've tried so many places in this area that I have not gone back to you but I will definitely be coming back to this place very soonNow my only question is can they make an authentic carne asada burrito ? ? Are their rollee tacos corn or flour tortilla? Wait, Do they do roll tacos? Lol.“
“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 was holding on to hope that the Mexican place not far from my house was good, and that faith was rewarded tonight. I saw something that puzzled my mind on the menu, fried potato tacos, and decided to roll the dice. I also got a large order of chicken taquitos.Our orders came fast which was nice as there were enough customers there that it might have slowed things down. I took one bite of these potato tacos and I was dumbstruck. You know how on food shows they say "this shouldn't work but it does" ? Those tacos ARE DELICIOUS!!! They're visually appealing, crisp,flavorful, and the potato is the absolute star in a surprising and unique way. Our waitress Maddie was charming and helpful. The taquitos were very juicy with the chicken and quite enjoyable. My ma didn't care for the rice, so I dinged a star for her not liking the beef taco. I loved everything I tasted“
“I love Taco Works on Best Avenue! I am not only a regular customer but got to work with them as well! I have eaten all the food and seen the behind the scenes prep and cooking! I love mexican food and they are the best in town, the food is absolutely delicious! They are more than willing to customize orders to your liking! They are friendly, the type of place where they’ll remember your favorite order and name! The owners are very hardworking and awesome people! I highly recommend to anyone that loves Mexican to give it a try!“
“Okay, so the only reason I gave this place 3 stars for food is, being a native Southern Californian, I'm used to Mexican food with a *serious* amount of flavor. And this place does a decent job in that respect. Better than 90% of the Mexican places in the inland PNW where people seem to be afraid of chili's or other spicy ingredients. So I would really call this type of food "Latin American INSPIRED" food. But their meats are acceptable as a substitute for something simmered for a couple days by someone's abuelo who grew up in Guadalajara or Cuidad Juarez. More of a "we waved some chili's at the food to inspire it" kinda "Mexican food" that the...sensitive pallets of North Idaho can handle. Their salsa is pretty good, though, I will give them that, even if it is missing that "holy Mother Mary, that's going to be uncomfortable coming out" heat I miss so much.Service is reliably good, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating.I will say it's always cold inside the very small dining room. Like "don't forget your jacket or sweatshirt" cold. Maybe it's my missing thyroid and that I'm sensitive to temperature changes now, but I'm always very chilly inside.I'd recommend them for their Buritto Supremo, my family all like their tacos, and we haven't had any complaints for the quality of the meals we get. If you live up here, and need a decent, affordable, and enjoyable hit of Mexican food, hit this place up, definitely! Parking can be a little tricky, and the one way roads make approach kinda troublesome, but if you coke in from the resort area of CdA, you'll be fine.“
“My wife and I love to travel around trying carne asada fries at 24 hour spots like this one. We didn’t even know it existed but pulled into the Wendy’s and saw this beautiful beacon of Mexican food open late. They were so good especially with the green salsa. I don’t understand how other people had such a bad experience because the service was fast and friendly and the food was so good.“
“Absolutely love this place. The food is always the best quality. I usually get sick of eating the same food constantly, but with this place, I could eat it for every meal, every day. I've never had a problem with this place in the few years I've been going to it. I usually get either the burrito or the hard tacos and they are perfect proportions with a great price, speed, and taste. It's better than typical Spanish restaurants in this area. I would 100% recommend this if you're wanting great Spanish food. 10/10. Absolutely perfect in every way.“
“Food has always been fantastic here. It's a small restaurant but doesn't feel cramped. It's cozy and the atmosphere is very nice, and the service is great. I like that they have options for people who are vegan/vegetarian, and last night when we ordered from them on doordash they threw in a big bag of chips for free--score! Thanks for that!“
