Nampa, Idaho September 2026…read more This restaurant sits on the corner of a shopping plaza. Booths line the wall of the restaurant. There are some tables in the middle of the restaurant and a large bar with seating. Some of the booth seats are torn in the front of the restaurant. I ordered a cheese quesadilla. It comes with sour cream, guacamole, a little extra cheese and tomatoes. Inside the cheese quesadilla is diced tomatoes and green onion. This was not described that way on the menu. However, I liked the concept. My concern is that the quesadilla was more like two stale tortilla shells with melted cheese. And the quesadilla was not hot. Additionally, the quesadilla was very salty. My husband ordered the beef casa burrito. It had so much sauce on it that every time you took a bite of anything it was just a mouthful of sauce. The sauce was like lava, it continued to flow all over the plate. The chips and salsa were not very good. The chips tasted stale. The service was average. We had one guy taking care of multiple, maybe even too many, tables. Other staff helped and pitched in, but nothing was above average. I had to ask for a refill on my drink. Overall, I give this place 3 stars. ICK!

He immediately asked if I wanted the taco plate and on top of that asked if I'd like a water cup, which I asked for once the last time I was here.

My husband got the Birria tacos, their sauce is great, but the chicken was lacking seasoning, it needed salt for sure.

They have tons of seafood so if you are wanting Mexican seafood this would be a good place. But there were only a few non seafood dishes, so be mindful. As with all seafood, prices are a little higher than you typically pay, so this will probably go into our date night restaurant bucket as opposed to a regular weekly night out.

Our waiter was so helpful and didn't overwhelm any of us at all! Super friendly and kind service. We started out with the triple dip appetizer and I personally really enjoyed the salsa. I thought it tasted really fresh and I couldn't stop eating it. The guacamole was also really fresh but I wanted a little more lime flavor to come through. However, everyone at my table agreed that we didn't love the queso. Unfortunately we just thought the flavor was non existent. We also got some drinks and thought they were really nice, I personally got the white wine and enjoyed it very much. Now I unfortunately forgot to take pictures of our food, but I do remember that I decided on both the Aloha, and the No Vacancy tacos. Sadly, I thought both were a complete miss. My Aloha taco had so much pork that I didn't really get any other flavor. And the vacancy had fresh ingredients inside it but it just felt very flat. I really wished that the tacos came with some kind of salsa or sauce as well. However, my friend let me try her lil Shrimp taco and I thought it tasted absolutely fantastic. Overall, I thought my experience with the service was great, but I don't really see myself coming back for the food. Maybe for some drinks though ;)

Alright don't know what to say except for amazing. If you want good Mexican food this is definitely the place to go. Not that long of a waiting time to Set or get your order. I'm very satisfied with everything that we had for dinner and both my son and I enjoyed our meal. This place offers a great price for the product of food that you get and the care goes in the croup making the food. Their chips are fresh and delicious and so is the salsa which in some restaurants like this you do not find being the norm. I will definitely find myself coming back here to eat later this week or next. Highly recommend read more

Their salsas are amazing, we even bought the 16oz size to take home (I will never buy store-bought salsa again). We have found our new "favorite" mexican restaurant. The blended Margatita was a true Margarita and not just dispensed out of a slushy machine, sooo good. I could only give it a 4 Star because of one thing, no menudo, other than that, my hat's off to the chef. We will definitely be back.

Central/South America landscapers or construction workers. Their presence is a very good sign! 2. A salsa bar with carrots and jalapenos in addition to at least four salsa coices. 3. The meat selection and specifically lengua, cow tongue. If att three are present, you are in for a really good meal. Sadly, none of the three were found, but they did gave fish tacos, which I ordered along with a Mexican Coke. While they didn't have hirchata, they did have an acceptable variety of appropriate Mexican drinks. I always start a plate by trying the rice and beans. If you can't get these right, there is little hope for anything else. While both the rice and beans were the right texture, neither under or over cooked, but I must note that the rice was not fried before being prepared, it was too fluffy. We always fry the rice at home before adding liquids to it. They were also on the bland side. The rice needs significantly more spice, the beans need a little roasted jalapeno and a little farm cheese on top. This would take them from okay to good, maybe even great! The tacos, first thing I looked for was if there was cabbage or lettuce. Lettuce if fine for most other meats, but cabbage is absolutely essential to the correct flavor profile. Also noted were cillantro and a little sauce. Sadly there is no salsa bar or else I'd have put some tomatillo salsa on them. I wasn't asked if I wanted salsa when I picked up my order. They use flour tortillas and while their flour tortillas were good, tasted at least locally made if not onsite, I expect corn. This feels like a somewhat authentic Mexican restaurant but toned down for the local Idaho pallet. Having lived in three of the four southern border states, and eaten in all four, and being married to a Mexican for forty years, I tend to look for the three things I mentioned, so will leave this place for the local, heat and spice averse diners.
