    Yummy salsa bar.
    Sharon D.

    We have now eaten at Coa Cantina 4 times since they opened. What a great addition to our neighborhood. Food is great. Guacamole is always fresh. Chips are always crispy and just the right amount of salt and the salsa bar is fantastic esp the tomatillo salsa. We love the Al Pastor quesadilla esp when the pineapple really shines through. Drinks are yummy esp the spicy margarita with the Tajin rim. Have tried ALL the tacos and my favorite is the shrimp taco. Best yet is service has always been exceptional and our food comes out very fast. Absolutely love that we can walk or bike here. Consider us big fans!

    Service was great, food came out fast, and atmosphere was fun! Super casual, à la carte tacos, burritos, quesadillas and of course chips and dips. The tacos were a little bland but the mango habanero salsa helped, and the chips were cold (gotta have warm tortilla chips). I feel like there are better casual taco spots in Boise, not my favorite from Coa.

    12 bucks for chips and salsa is bananas! Al la carte option is nice but the starter prices are outrageous.

He was very informative about where to go and places to check out in Boise. I ordered one of the local beers and their flagship meal, the Santa Maria Tri Tip Sandwich. As you can see by looking at the photos, the tri-tip was cooked to perfection. It had tomatoes, poblano, and chimichurri sauce on it to add to the flavors of the tri-tip. The bread consistency was great, not too soggy, and with a great crispy texture. I wish they had spread the tri-tip out more to make sure every bite was being celebrated. I also ordered the mac and cheese as the side per the instructions of the bartender, James. Let me say that was one of the best mac and cheeses that I have ever had. Truly amazing creamy texture and full of rich flavor. Everything melted in your mouth. Definitely worth it. I eventually ended up talking to a fellow bar sitter, and he ended up being the co-owner of the place, TJ. He also filled me in on the places to go and, most definitely, the places to travel to, to experience great beer. He was refreshing to talk to since most people don't have the passion for beer that we both represent. I would highly recommend this place for the staff that is there the solid pub style restaurant that they have created. Super easy and relaxed kinda of place.

I placed a to go order and had a nice chat with the bartender while I waited. I got the pickled eggs which were just OK. We were hoping that it would have a more intense pickled flavor than it did. I also ordered the frito pie. The chili was dry and there weren't many Fritos with it. No cheese either. We got the Philly style chopped tri tip sandwich. The bread and meat were dry. The redeeming dish was the Mac and cheese. It was amazing!

If your coming here for the first time do not miss the schnitzel meals! It's a good hearty meal to fill a hungry belly! The pork is flattened thin, cooked perfectly and the breading flavorful and crispy. The fries thicker cut, skin on and nicely salted, yum! I had the Donor Kebab this time because I hadn't tried it yet and I have been missing out. It was really good! The mixed meat was on point and cooked just right. The veggie combinations were different then what I'm used to with kebabs but it worked really well. They had red cabbage, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, and pepperoncinis. The pita was wrapped in a thin, yet thick enough wrap to hold it all together and it was a perfect compliment to this Kebab! You can also never go wrong with any sausages, bratwurst or bologna. I like that they don't have a huge menu because everything you get is quality ingredients made with care. Did I mention beer? They have a multitude of glasses and form factors to pour into. The owners and employees have been consistently very kind and helpful with any questions I have about the market or restaurant since the beginning. Speaking of the market, they have always had great and fair prices with their imported items and its one of the only places in town that has quality European dark chocolates. Definitely do not miss this stop if you like good beer and excellent food!

I checked reviews and the menu on here and was torn between a Reuben and a schnitzel sandwich. I went with the schnitzel and it is a five star sandwich for sure. Pounded incredibly thin with a crispy seasoned breading and on a fresh crusty bun. Honestly I miss that sandwich. Next time, we will see how the Reuben compares! I'm never coming to Boise again without hitting das Alpenhaus.

It was the first time I had been there and was not aware (until asking later after sitting around for a while) that we needed to order our food at the bar. After ordering the food started coming out pretty quickly for my friends and they were able to eat. However mine was taking a long time so we asked the waitress about it and she said she would find out. Well she did find out but never came and let us know, instead she attended to other tables and we had to go ask her again. Apparently the cook burned my food and had to start over (that would have been nice to know ahead of time because I would have asked for it in a to go box). By the time I did get my food my friends were all starting to leave so I asked the waitress for a to go box and instead of getting me one she attended to the other tables so we had to ask again for one. My friend who asked her for one the second time said the waitress didn't seem very friendly about it and more acted like it was an inconvenience. The food was good (when I finally got to eat it back at home). Some courtesy would have been nice and would have made the experience better but sadly I did not get that during my time there.

Yet I wanted to experience their take on Detroit pizza one last time before they lock the doors for good. Yesterday, I called to order a Detroiter pizza, my go-to pie since they opened, for takeout. The woman who answered the phone asked to put me on hold for a "short wait." Ten minutes later I was still on hold and hung up. Today, I decided to try again. I called at around the same time, 4:30 p.m., which normally has not been a busy time there before the dinner rush starts. This time, I was told to call back. What? So I went online and ordered there for pickup. I got an email back immediately, saying my order had been submitted but that it wasn't confirmed until I got a second email with my pickup time. More than an hour later, I'm still waiting for that second email. What a horrible operation they've become. Their pizza was excellent in the beginning and I didn't mind driving across town to a convenient location near the airport to pick up one of their pizzas. But as their quality slipped, I found myself going there less and less. Today's failure will be the last time I try before they close forever. All I have is the memories from better days.
