STILL AMAZING!! EVERY SINGLE TIME!…read more This time we got a drink before being seated and Robi made a DELICIOUS Paper Plane cocktail! She is great! We ALWAYS get the pork belly (SOOO GOOD) and this time I tried the Chicken Fried Steak. That was really good! My go-to is the Brisket Burrito, but that Chicken Fried steak was good. The seasoning and sauce is not your typical "breakfast" style. It's got a Mexican twist to it which is great! Dessert never disappoints! Neither does the atmosphere and the people! (thanks Robi!) Yes it's a smaller place, but SOOO worth it! TIP: Use the "wait list" option for Nadine's in Yelp!

This might be the best kept little secret in downtown Sandpoint. Located conveniently next to the…read morebig public parking lot on Church Street, Joel's offers a good range of delicious burritos and other goodies. So far, all I've tried is their California Burrito, which is quite tasty, and not as greasy as CBs I've had elsewhere. Everything feels and tastes fresher in their burritos, where you get a definite crunch from included veggies like tomatoes and lettuce. Their asada is very tender and has a pot roast kind of flavor to it. And the burritos are enormous. My wife and I split the burrito and it was all I could do to finish my half. My son ordered a plate of arroz con pollo (all about the basics, this kid) and gave it two very enthusiastic thumbs up. They offer a walk up service counter with seating primarily in the outdoor spaces in front of and beside the building. The covered seating area was under maintenance or repair when we went, so you might grab your grub to go if it's raining or snowing. I forgot to see if they do any specialty drinks like Jamaica or horchata, but they absolutely have a self serve soda fountain with Dr. Pepper on tap which, when I think about it, is all I really need to know. We've technically been twice now, and would have gone a third time last night (Wednesday) but they were closed, so wifey and I went to Joe's Philly Cheese Steak place down the street instead (sorry, Joel). To out myself as one o' them $#*%ing Californians, this place was very much a taste of home, and it's nice to know it's nearby when those burrito cravings hit all at once. As stated in the opening, this place is right next to a big, FREE public parking lot and perhaps brisk walking distance to City Beach, the Cedar Street Bridge (shopping) and the Sandpoint Farmers Market (when it's going, anyway). Prices are about what one would expect for a roughly 2lb serving of burrito awesomeness, $12-$15 on average. Definitely recommended if you're in the mood for something fast, fresh and tasty.

Chips and salsa were excellent too along with the restaurant being very clean! Ambiance was attractive and the restaurant was quiet, not overly loud so you could have a pleasant conversation with others at your table without having to yell over the noise like some other restaurants if visited! Over all a great place to have an authentic Mexican cuisine!

Sweetest family-run establishment serving fresh good quality food…read more There may not be the curb appeal as you pull into the lot. But pay no heed and do yourself a favor and just go eat here. The staff is the sweetest. We are a vegetarian party so we ended up with veggie burrito, tostada salad, tacos, fries, and Horchata. These guys don't skimp on ingredients. I asked for extra rice and they didn't charge me. Horchata was perfection. Try their salsas--both Roja and verde which they keep in the drinks fridge. Don't judge a book by its cover.

I was craving enchiladas and crispy tacos, and they serve both here. You order at the counter and…read morethen they call you up when your order is ready. Chips and a spicy salsa are complimentary. The Enchiladas come with a red or green sauce, so I chose the green. It had a great flavor and the enchiladas had plenty of cheese. However, the inside was lukewarm and the cheese was not melted. You could still see the shreds. I took them home for another meal. As to the tacos, they fry their handmade corn tortillas and they have a good flavor. Unfortunately the ground beef has little to no flavor. Luckily I had salsa left over and used it to spice them up. They come with plenty of shredded lettuce, diced onions, and two types of shredded cheese. They have 8 tables and they had a steady stream of customers for both to go orders and dine in. The restaurant is clean and average noise level.

They have changed the name from Brava to Alegre. First time here, and I'm not sure if there was an…read moreownership change, but previous reviews speak highly of the couple who ran it, and it did seem there was the same Husband & Wife set up---with a nice younger waiter who took care of us. Food was fine. I tested them with a Relleño order, and he did a good job. The poblano was fresh, and that will cause a rather runny plate of food, which might horrify some, but not this guy. Lift plate, tilt and slurp all the delicious liquid, put plate down....and finish the cheesy pepper. Ladies all enjoyed their meals, the Pacifico was ice cold, and we were in/out in decent time to keep the shopping day going. Nice lunch...
