    What an Idaho Gem! Authentic Mexican food, in a quiet and quaint atmosphere. Highly recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp.

    If you are in Pocatello, eat here…read more We dined on a Friday night. 90% capacity. No line. A little slow to get us seated but as kind as other reviewers have noted. Everyone was kind. Thank you! Dinner took 30 minutes to reach our table. A little long and it's not like they were full with a line of people waiting. Their chips looked and seemed generic, but they were good. Salsa was about a 10/10 for me. Flavor, heat, consistency. Perfect. Bean dip was good. Nacho queso was fun, but a little plain. I appreciated having it. I had 3 shredded beef tacos, and beans and rice. One of my major complaints of an otherwise very good experience. Is that two out of my three tacos were soggy by the time I got to them and I tried to get to them immediately before I started in on the beans and rice to prevent eating soggy tacos. Anyway, that was a big disappointment. Beyond that, the freshness and flavor and quality was great. I enjoyed everything. I would definitely eat here again. I'm not sure if my tacos were soggy from the tomatoes or the shredded beef or because they were sitting under the heat light for too long. I would need to figure that out next time, if I'm ever in Pocatello again... There was live music, and that was fun. At the end of our meal thy brought out chips with cinnamon, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle. Free of charge. This is not my type of thing at all. But I have to admit it was a nice little treat after dinner and was very, very good. The only reason I'm not giving this a five star review is because of the soggy tacos. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. Everything was great.

    The service was worth the road trip stop on the road. We were served bb a family team, and they…read morewere so kind the entire time we were there, extending their lunch hours so we could order off that menu and refilling our chips and drinks. The food was pretty good too! Their street tacos were really authentic and tasty especially. I would say to stick to what you know, the shrimp are not fresh but we're still really good for being frozen. The restaurant was nice, a classic tavern style that feels like home for a restaurant like this. Definitely the place to stop when driving through Pocatello.
