Talk about an overall great experience! Authentic Mexican and the staff were amazing. Travel a lot and I always try to seek out family owned local business and this one did not miss. read more

Amazing food if you like amazing Mexican authentic south of the border food, authentic and NOT run of the mill, great service too, it's worth the trip no matter where you're from!!! read more

They have a lot of good vegetarian options, which was so nice to find in Nampa. The food is good. The service was great. I got a vegetarian Chimichanga and it had yummy onions, cheese, and squash inside. It was not initially clear where the front door is, so maybe a sign in the parking lot and on the door itself would help new customers find this gem more easily. :) read more

Coming from the birth place of Tex-Mex, we were delighted to discover this cozy family-owned restaurant. The service was great, super friendly and offered with a smile and lots of great suggestions. You can order ahead and pick up take out inside at the counter or simply dine in. The platters of food are ample and filled with flavor, and their salsas are phenomenal with plenty of heat for those who love spice. We had the street tacos, chicken tamales and enchiladas verde with carne asada and the most flavorful rice and beans we have ever had. No bland food here! We'd go back for the rice alone, and yet everything was super delicious. With Mamacita in the kitchen, everything is made fresh to order and you can taste the TLC that goes into every bite. If you've been looking for great Mexican eats in the Boise area, be sure to try Alondras. read more

This has turned into a weekly dinner stop. The food is flavorful, delicious and made by "Mom"! Service is quick and personable. A great place to kick back, listen to some music, and have it feel like home. It's that secret spot to enjoy yourself! read more

We love this place. Our family comes almost every Sunday. We feel like family the moment we walk in the door. The food is always hot and fresh, good to the last bite. read more

Yummy. Found through Yelp since not from the area. It is a mom and pop shop. Not a huge menu but enough to make you salivate. I was able to get one hard shell taco (al pastor) and a chicken enchilada. All combos come with rice and beans. The taco was nice and crunchy and the meat was very tasty. The enchilada was really good too with white meat. Everything was good. Definitely a repeat place when I'm here again. read more

The food was delicious. I got pozole and it was extremely flavorful, and packed the right amount of heat. My husband got the torta with carnitas, and the meat was very tender and the bread soft. The staff was really sweet and had a lovely family demeanor. Highly recommend if you want really good Mexican food. read more

Very nice workers. Food was a disappointment. My friend ordered the carne asada and I order the same platter but vegetarian. They mixed up my order but straightened it up. It was ok. The salsa with the chips tasted like tomato paste. Very disappointing. Went to pay and recited to the guy at the register that we ordered 2 taco combo platters and chips and salsa. I signed my credit card and we started to leave when he said he forgot to charge the second platter. After tip it was $18.31 so I missed the absent charge. read more

On a roadtrip and looking for something fast, casual but healthy. Reviews drew us into the warmth of this little place that seems family run. Very friendly and knowledgable server made some recommendations for us. (Pescatarians). Fresh squash and corn complimented my veggie burrito and hubbie's shrimp fajita came with sliced cukes and avocado on the side. Food came out fast and was beautifully prepared. Felt like we dropped in on our auntie for dinner! Highly recommend. read more

I was a bit nervous when we walked in to the restaurant when we were the only patrons, however, my concerns were unfounded after I took my first bite of my enchilada suiza--yum! Alondras is a small establishment close to downtown Nampa, off of third street. I have probably driven by this place at least 100 times and never noticed it. I'm so glad that my husband and I decided to try a new Mexican restaurant instead of going to our usual standby places. This is a walk up and order your food and then seat yourself, which made me nervous because I wanted a full service restaurant and not what seemed almost fast food. Don't worry, this is not fast food! It's fresh and delicious! We will be back! read more

Alondras Restaurant - Enchilada Suiza - Mexican Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

I WANTED TO LIKE THIS PLACE. It had the feel of a Mexican household, and a Mexican kitchen. I had high hopes with the good reviews. I'm from Los Angeles, so I know good Mexican food. This had that hole in the wall, mom's house, low key feel that I love from good Mexican food places. Unfortunately, the food was less than mediocre (at best). I ordered the Pozole, and my wife got the chilaquiles. We've been looking for good Pozole in the treasure valley. So we were SUPER excited to try it here. We ordered our food, and for a bowl of soup and some chips with red sauce with 2 eggs it ended up being 30 dollars! The eggs were extra! The soup was 14 dollars for a tiny little bowl, (which is ALOT for a tiny bowl), and the chilaquiles were soggy and flavorless. Those were 11 dollars, plus 3 dollars with egg?! I understand if the dishes were flavorful, and were made with love, BUT... they sadly were bland and gross. I'm normally not such a harsh critic, and give credit where credit is due, but the food we received, honestly, belonged in the garbage. I don't know if it was just a bad day or what, but even the chips and salsa were disappointing. The chips tasted like stale, store bought basic tortilla chips, and the salsa tasted old and gross. Like they haven't changed it in weeks. WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK. Alondra's, do better read more

Their pupusas are amazing! Brans and rice were flavorful. The resturant was clean and the service was very friendly.

I would call this place the most authentic Mexican food I've had here. It was amazing good. Their hard shell tacos, enchiladas and their green sauce were outstanding. I can't wait to go back. It's a drive for me but so worth it. I'm bummed I forgot to take a picture of our food. read more

This place is the best! We are from California looking for real authentic Mexican food and this place delivers! We've had menudo, posole, tacos, chili rellenos, enchiladas, burritos, sopes, tamales and taquitos. They were all amazing! The owners are super sweet too! read more

The positive reviews brought us in and the food didn't disappoint :) My wife ordered two chicken tacos in corn tortillas with rice and beans. My order was chili relleno also with R&B.

I had the flautas which were very good! The beans were good but the rice was amazing! Very authentic!!

Tamales were great! Service was friendly and fast. Prices were very reasonable. I would go back next time I am in Nampa for sure

Found this place by using Yelp. Was not disappointed. Staff was very nice and food was very good. I have the tostada cervice. Never had that before but I was not disappointed. Salsa was homemade and very tasty! It's a must try if you are looking for some authentic Mexican food. read more

Love the empanadas! Great environment and outstanding welcoming home feel. Open on Sunday which is a major plus. Highly recommend, the food is worth the price. read more

Alondras restaurant doesn't look like much, but she really does a fantastic job of preparing on demand meals. I grew up in Phoenix, AZ and spent a lot of time in Mexico eating lots of Mexican food and loving it. Now that I live in Idaho, it's been difficult to find places that serve authentic Mexican fare. Alondras is just that. Everything is prepared as you order it, to your specifications, and at a very fair price. I'd like to keep it a secret, but I love these folks and they deserve to be recognized for the wonderful job they do cooking amazing authentic foods from their culture. Give them a try, you'll love it. read more

If you want authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go. Family loved their menudo, enchiladas, tamales and sopes. I got the pupusas and a pastor taco and they were both excellent. I will definitely come back to this place when I want Mexican food. Also, not sure who would come here to get a burger. Plenty of great spots in the valley lol read more

Friggin fabulous little pull- off on our road trip. Alondra jumped up to cook when we came in and her hubby rang us up. The ranchera music got us going too.I got tacos. Hub got empanadas. We drove past it and had to be dectives to find front door. Glad we did. read more

Amazing and authentic. Quick and friendly service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick, delicious bite!

This is by far the BEST authentic Mexican and more restaurant in Canyon County, if not Boise. Forget the strip mall Mexican and the unnamed popular local chains: if you want the real deal Holyfield of tacos, gorditas, flautas, sopas, and pupusas - this is IT. Heck, if you only know what a Taco Bell gordita is, get in your car and drive yourself here immediately for some tasty schoolin'. You can't go wrong with their pozole, daily specials or combo plates such as 2 pupusas with rice and beans. On cold days snatch up the homemade champurrado (a hot chocolaté thickened with corn flour) if you can get it - it's delicious! Excellent prices too. The owners are extremely nice and the atmosphere is family-oriented. You can also find a limited mini-mart (mostly sweets, drinks, some condiments and herbal supplements), and marvel over their current fashion corner (they sell bedazzled jeans, purses, and hats too). read more

Alondras Restaurant - Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

Stop here and you'll surely come back. The food is authentic, scrumptiously seasoned and well priced. The beans and rice are not just sides~they are stars on their own. Owners are present, cooking, serving and so very nice. Don't be fooled by the modest appearance of this place. Take your friends who "know" Mexican food. They will thank you! read more

The food that my wife and I got was incredibly dry and flavorless. The rice and beans was great but the meat in our tacos and enchiladas was dry. I will go back and see if it was a one time thing or if it is a pattern. Staff was nice and made me feel at home. They would get 5 stars read more

This place is amazing. They have a limited menu so everything they make is so good. We ordered 6 different meals for our family to share and no one had a complaint. The staff were very nice and did custom orders for our picky ones. Great place! Will go back when I'm in town. read more

We went here for the first time on Sunday and we were very impressed. The food was excellent - very fresh and authentic. The papusas and gorditas were excellent, and the kids loved their tacos. It really felt like we were in a family kitchen. I am glad a few more authentic places are coming in apart from the taco trucks. The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that the chips and salsa are extra, and the waiter didn't ask us if we wanted any (regardless of cost). There wasn't really any authentic non-alcoholic drinks (horchata, sugarcane juice con limon, etc), and the jaritos were very limited. Just a few tweaks and this place could be the talk of the town! read more

Yum. Craving Mexican and decided to try something new. This place was a winner. Ate too fast for a photo. Ha! I had a cheese pupusa and a kids enchilada plate (chicken with green sauce). A word of warning though -- if you're super weak when it comes to spice (like me), you'll be sweating with the salsas and sauces. Kids bean and cheese burrito is killer. My 9-year-old ate two! Service was quick and friendly. Only a few tables inside, so a crowd isn't likely. Prices are super reasonable (everything under $10). read more

This is the typical mom and pop shop! Sparsely decorated, and clean, it has little decoration and a moderate amount of seating. The food was incredibly authentic ( I've lived in Mexico) an we all enjoyed our meals. A little pricey for lunch once you buy your beverages. They don't have a soda fountain or chips and salsa. Overall a pleasing experience. read more

I love to travel the world. Met my wife in Thailand when I was traveling in fact. When I travel I really really really love to try food. Mexican food is always been one of my favorites. Both my wife and I found that this restaurant had some of the very best food cooked from the heart we have ever had. you need to like spicy if you get into their Salsa's but their food is exquisite. We will definitely be back! read more

I first had pupusas in Barrancas del Cobre, Chihuahua MX. They made them on steel drum ovens. This is the first place (state-side) I've not only found them, but did them justice. Oh, and don't miss the posole read more

Maybe my expectations were a little high based on other's reviews and the fact that I live in California (where they have REAL Mexican food), but I was very disappointed with my whole experience at Alondra's. The food is edible- but not at all palatable; the plain, dry nachos, tacos, enchiladas, rice and beans were not exactly what my family and I would call ideal, let alone "the best." In addition, placing and paying for my order was a hassle to say the least and they still managed to get my order wrong after multiple attempts to correct it. On the brightside, the horchata was very good and my dog enjoyed eating the plethora of leftovers. read more

Alondras Restaurant - Looked tasty, left dissapointed... - Mexican Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

The food not very good. It was definitely microwaved. The enchilada was flavorless and the chicken was dry. The owner was nice. The place is kind of creepy. We were the only ones there and no overhead music, which made talking awkward. The reviews are misleading in my opinion. read more

Kinda sad was looking everywhere for some pupusas and stumbled on this place. Well the man walk up to us and took the order at the wall where the menu was that was fine he seemed nice. My only problem was that the pupusas did not come with the traditional red sauce which is the best part. My husband got up to ask them for it and the gave him like red hot sauce you put on meat but I thought it was the sauce and put it on one and well ruined it. And my agua fresca well was make out of the powder you buy at the store it was not fresca. read more
