    Salad without lettuce?
    Michelle K.

    Ummm this is the second my husband has gone in to get us food. Don't expect anyone to greet you or even look at you, they will just be on their phones and glance at you until they are done sending a text....my husband stood there for a solid 3 minutes before someone said "can I help you" he ordered me a salad, and he ordered a burrito and why it took so long certainly doesn't make sense to me, but there was no rush so that isn't something I'll complain about, my husband had better customer service AS THE CUSTOMER, like why they were rude to him beats me. After my long 14 hour shift I was STARVING! So he comes home and there was no lettuce on my SALAD! See pic below! Weird service and not very friendly which is just sad because I love cafe rio food, but I'll stick to the location near my work. Whoever owns this franchise needs to watch out because this place will soon not have anyone coming in ‍

    The rest of my bowl and the two slivers of plastic
    Ashley E.

    I ordered a bowl and while eating my bowl I found two pieces of shredded plastic that resembles floss. I wasn't even halfway through. I'm disgusted and will not be going back I have attempted to contact for a refund but no answer. Submitted to customer service so we will see what they say.

    The wait time is so crazy. I door dash and wait at least 10 minutes for every order when it's marked ready.

    We've been here dozens of times, always good, but not last night…read more I ordered the Carnitas with Mole, I've had the regular carnitas many times so I figured adding mole would just make them better. What I got was a lump of overcooked, dry, unsliced, unseasoned pork roast with the mole poured over at the table. I spent the first five minutes just trying ti cut and tear the pork baseball apart and stirring it in the mole. I kept picturing Chef Ramsey taking a bite, spitting it back on the plate and flagging down the waiter,. "This is disgusting!" You know meat is dry when you must drink something because it keeps getting stuck on the way down! What I should have received was seasoned carnitas that spent at least some time with the sauce in the pan. I had to stop it was so bad! If it hadn't bern Valentines Day weekend, and if we hadn't already waited an hour to eat because it was busy, I'd have asked the waiter for something else. When the waiter came to check and asked, I was honest, he apologized and offered to have them prepare something else, but by this point I was just ready to leave. The Manager came, apologized and took my dinner off the bill, the right thing to do. We used to live in Kuna, but now it's at least an hour drive round trip, so I doubt we'll be back. Maybe if we are meeting friends/family in Kuna, but just us, I don't think so. Time to find good Mexican closer to downtown Boise!

My wife ordered a chile rellano and an enchilda. I ordered camarones diabla, one of my favorite dishes. My wife had a coke and I had water. My wife really enjoyed her food, and there was plenty of it, as she brought some home. In my dish, the shrimp were nice and plump, which was great, and the sauce was flavorful, though not as good as at another place I frequent. There were small pieces of mushroom, but there were also a lot of strips of onion, which I'm not a fan of. Just my personal taste. They charge $3.50 for a soda, and for that price, my wife asked for a refill to go. She thought our server was perhaps a bit displeased that she made this request, but we feel that it is reasonable, given the price tag for soda that comes from a machine. All in all, we enjoyed our experience at La Cabanita, and will return, we happen to be in the area (we live in Star).

    I hadn't heard of this restaurant until a friend suggested it as a place to meet up for dinner, and…read moreI'm so glad they did. We went on a Friday night and it was incredibly busy--which I always take as a good sign. Even with the crowd, they had us seated within ten minutes and quickly got menus in our hands. The menu had so many great options that it was almost overwhelming (in the best way). I ended up ordering a chicken chimichanga and an enchilada, and both were absolutely delicious--so good that I've already asked my friend if she wants to go back again tonight. We also ordered drinks, and those were just as enjoyable. The staff took great care of us, checking in and making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Overall, such a great experience and definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. Tons of places to sit whether you're a small party or a big one. They also have a lot of beautiful decorations all throughout the building.

I have tried fajitas all over the US, Mexico and Costa Rica, not good. When the fajitas came out all you could see was onions and onions and more onions, a small amount of green bell pepper cut up really small, that was it besides the scant amount of small pieces of chicken. No taste to the meal, it was very bland. The extra hot salsa she brought me was very good, arbol pepper sauce. Kind of a smokey flavor with lots of bite, it was very good. I am sad to have to write a review like this, but I must be honest.

They have the perfect amount of beef to cheese ratio and come with raw chopped onion, cilantro, and grilled onions on the side. The consome is a hefty portion and the hot sauce is something magical.

Now let's talk horchata. This 32 oz of perfection comes with a strawberry puree rim and just the right amount of sweet. Honestly, if you're wrestling with trying to figure out where to get food, just go. The staff is amazing and food is out fast. The inside is comfortable and fun. And you could go up to the menu, close your eyes, and point to anything. It's all amazing.
