28 Best Mexican Restaurants in Nampa

“I lived in Nampa for years and went by this restaurant weekly and never ate there. Met friends in Nampa and went dinner there. This is a smaller venue so there was a 30 minute wait but we'll worth it. Atmosphere is quaint by tasteful. Great Mexican food menu with a few twists of their own. Food was great and large servings. Good margheritas too. Definitely a great find that is worth going out of your way to try. You may want to avoid Friday and Saturday evenings as they are really busy.Parking: Limited parking and DO NOT PARK IN ADJOINING BUSINESS LOTS!!“

“Best service I have ever experienced! The staff were so sweet and nice. Never had to wait for a refill for anything they were on it! And the food was absolutely amazing!! Would definitely recommend to anyone. I will be returning here often :)“

“I wish I could give them 10 stars. The food was incredible. I stopped by and they were closed but the owner said no problem and made me food anyways. She even gave me 2 extra tacos on the house. What a gem ? of a person and business. Can't wait to go “

“The best octopus I have ever had. Everyone should go here just to try the octopus dish. The sauce was amazing. Also had some fish tacos that were incredible. My friend had some chicken tacos that were also very good. I see why this place is packed all the time. Make a reservation and get over to NAMPA. That will now be my go to spot!!!!“

“I love this place. Everything all in one spot. Market, restaurant and bakery. We usually stop by on the weekends. It's never been too busy. We always find a seat to eat. We make sure to pick up the necessities as well as Mexican candy and sweet bread. Bake freshly inside. Sometimes we are lucky enough to get it right off of the rack as soon as it's out. The jalapeno and cream cheese stuffed bread is the best but sells out fast so you have to stop by earlier if possibleParking: Street parking, but usually plenty of spots available in the vicinityWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“

“We order the nasty nachos with chorizo and pinto beans, as well as the taco meal with a fish taco and a shrimp taco with black beans and rice. The food was phenomenal. And the owners are so kind when they greet you very friendly and everything smells so good from far away as you were approaching. We got our food quickly and we were so full. We couldn’t even finish everything! Highly recommend.“

“The servers are very nice and the food is always delicious. The restaurant is comfortable, I love all the booths. I get this veggie burrito, and let me say, it's my favorite and is so much food for $7. My partner likes their enchiladas and tacos, so those are probably bomb as well.“

“My husband's favorite mexican food, he's crazy for that awesome white cheese sauce. Service is great and the food is always tasty. I like the bean dip and salsa with chips while we wait for our food. The mixed drinks are amazing. The only downer is the place is always packed for weekend evenings and the wait can be long but its worth it. I love this place!“

“Yummy chili colorado! Great customer service. A bit of a dive (which we always love to find the little hidden gems) , but very authentic and they have delicious food. Love the chips and salsa, too. They have a good truck parked out back just in case the restaurant fills up and you still neeeeeed some yummy deliciousness. We love coming here. We would definitely come back.“

“This is "The Place" for mexican food... so good. We moved to this area about 4 years ago from Arizona and have been searching the whole valley for good mexican food and we finally found it! This is our new number one place to go. The food is fabulous! We ate inside the restaurant. The Chili Verde is about the best I've ever had. My husband says the Chile Colorado is the best he's ever had. Can't wait to try everything else on the menu.For us, no need to go anywhere else. We found our spot?? ??“

“Edgar was a kind and personable server. He pointed out menu items of interest and did not steer us wrong. We are seniors and shared the Barria plate with house made corn tortillas. It was delicious and more than plenty for us. The salsa was mild, I might recommend a spicy alternative as well. The Cadillac Margarita was very good as well. We will be back!“

“New to the area and this is almost the only place to get a gyro for some reason. The smokey version was almost too spicy for me, but good overall. I tried a couple house tacos which were decent sized for $3 each, the adobada was my favorite but the carnitas and al pastor were solid. A gyro with tacos on the side is a pretty perfect lunch, will definitely go back.“

“5/5 stars. My family and I have been coming here for years now. it is hands down one of the best spots in the treasure valley. There is a lot of love in the food and service. Regardless of what you get it will knock your socks off! Mi familia a comido en este local (taqueria y restaurante) por muchos años. Es unos de los mejores restaurantes y taqueria en el valle del tesoro. Cualquier cosa que pide le va dejar con ganas de mas“

“First time here. Best Authentic Mexican food. They are Family owned restaurant. We love how they cook and interact with their customers. Everything freshly made and their salsa is soooo GOOOD! Definitely will recommend and looking forward to eating with our family there again.“

“We do Salsa Sunday at Mother Earth on Sunday, picking up tacos on the way there. First time trying this taco truck. Great tacos, comes with onions, grilled onions, cilantro and plenty of meat. Pictured are carnitas and chicken. Very good tacos, two would have been enough. The red sauce is good and spicy. Also nice was no line, unlike the other truck at 11th Ave and 4th St N. I can't wait to try some other meals.“

“Chapalas Restaurant, has the best Mexican Cuisine in town, Maria is the most kindest person you could ever meet. There food is so Authentic, and Delishes, and the Drinks are amazing.

“BEST MENUDO IN TOWNEverything was fresh & delicious ESPECIALLY the menudo. 10/10 recommend. Also tried their tacos/torta, the flavor is very authentic and the meat is seasoned to perfection. Customer service is also very good, definitely go give them a visit.“

“We highly recommend Belis Tortilleria! We placed a huge order for my daughters Graduation party and they went above and beyond! We ended up with 4 large trays of street tacos in different meat variations and they put all of the condiments like onions, cilantro, lemons, radishes & salsa on the side for our more picky eaters. They also included roasted chili peppers. All of the food was delicious and all the tacos were eaten at the party, without any leftovers or waste! If you're looking to host a large event or party, consider booking your event with this restaurant, they are amazing!“

“This is my FAVORITE Taco truck ever! I have ate at taco trucks from Ontario to Mountain Home. Almost everyone I would say! Tacos El Zacatecano has NEVER disappointed me! They are a 10 star out of five star rating! seriously! The owners are always polite and very friendly amazing hard working people!“

“My wife and I had an extremely good dinner out at Brick 29 last week. It was a special occasion as we were out with another couple, and we wanted to enjoy a nice dinner. And, a nice dinner is what we experienced! The environment is fun, and something unexpected in Nampa. We weren't paying attention as we arrived at the building, walking and talking with our friend, and naturally ended up in the lounge downstairs by mistake. Whoops. Taking the elevator to the top is unexpected, but once we arrived at the top floor, we were rewarded with a beautiful view. It was just before sunset, and seeing the City of Nampa from a few floors up was very nice. We had arrived before the dinner rush, since we did not have reservations, and we were seated promptly. Judging from the groups of people who arrived after us, I would think that getting reservations ahead of time would be prudent. I think we got lucky this night. The service was great! Our waiter was fun and professional, and made our experience very enjoyable. We didn't get a window seat, but the dining environment was still very nice, contributing to enjoyment of the evening. For dinner, I ordered the Rib Eye, cooked Bistro Style (as opposed to "Traditional"). I only have three words to describe this steak: Dee Lish Us. Oh my gosh, it was cooked perfectly, and was a very flavorful piece of meat. It was served with a blue cheese fondue sauce, and covered with crispy fried onions, served over potatoes. The flavors came together amazingly, and I really enjoyed the steak. My companions all ordered the Lamb Shank, and I did sample a bit or two. Again, very very delicious! For dessert, we got a piece of German Chocolate cake that was plenty big enough for four of us to eat. A nice finish to a wonderful evening. I would highly recommend Brick 29 as one of the best dining experiences in the Treasure Valley.“

“So good! I had the tacos durados. The lady kindly gave me extra salsa (which was SO good by the way) and I ate a whole second bowl with my tacos. Best Mexican food I've had in a LONG time! Little hole in the wall place, but sometimes those are the best!“

“My husband and I have never, not once, had bad service or complaints about our food.! Absolutely love ordering from Azteca tacos! We will definitely always recommend their food and will Absolutely continue to order from them ! Thank you so much for the great service and food!!“

“Authentic, affordable, tasty food. The perfect trio! My friend and I came in from Boise. Caldwell is often where you can find the tasty Mexican food. The service was great and the food was delicious. Living a couple of hours away from my parents leads to cravings of actual Mexican food. This hit the spot. The tortillas were homemade and the salsa had a great flavor. I ordered the sopes- a homemade thick tortilla with meat, lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes , top off with some good salsa and you're set. The sopes are small so if you're hungry, I would opt out for a bigger plate. The rice was well done and the beans were fresh. Really good food. Would definitely come again.“

“I stopped in and ordered 2 beef birria tacos which were great, and one chicken one which was dry and not so good. The shells were really small, double-shelled corn. It came with cilantro and I was given a small green salsa which was tasty. If I return, I would definitely order beef. There are 2 picnic tables available if you want to eat in the parking lot“

“I don’t normally write reviews but this place exceeded my expectations! It’s hard to find good Mexican food around here and this place was great. The quesabirria tacos and chimichanga were delicious! Beans and rice are a must and the steak taco kids meal was perfect for the kids. Service was fast, friendly and restaurant was clean. This will be our spot for Mexican food from now on!“
