Chicken Green Burrito
Charles F.

My wife yearns for an El Pollo Loco so instead of driving to SLC, we went to Fiesta Chicken. She ordered the three piece with two sides. I have a veggie burrito no cheese no sour cream. The chicken she got didn't have enough marinade and flavor to her liking. My veggie burrito was immense. I was not expecting to see chopped Romaine lettuce but there is was. It was ok. There was a number of customers inside as well as customers picking up orders. I'm not sure if we're going back but at least the wife kinda scratched that itch sort of.

Fiesta Chicken was my dinner choice tonight. I appreciate that they have a drive thru. I normally grab the chipotle chicken tacos from Fiesta Chicken but I wanted to two something different tonight. The gentleman at the intercom took my order. I snagged the 3 piece chicken with mac and cheese and potatoe salad add my sides. I also got a couple flour tortillas and mild salsa with my order. I'm not gonna lie, I opened my to go box and was quite stunned. One of my drumsticks was almost the size of a Hershey's fun size chocolate bar. It was so tiny. My second drumstick not was much better. Quite disappointing really. The seasoning on the chicken was good. The texture of the chicken wasn't tender but it wasn't dry. It was ok. The mac and cheese was decent. It was not hot or warm. The potatoe salad was good. The potatoes were cooked nicely and did have a good amount of dressing on it. I think I'll stick to the chipotle chicken tacos. This meal was disappointing. Paid 14 bucks for 3 tiny pieces of chicken. You really don't get your money's worth stuff this meal.

2 chicken street tacos, 1 carne asada. Super great! Chicken was

I never would have thought the best tacos in Idaho would be this place? Never gave it the time of day? Finally tried it and Im addicted! Best chicken hands down! Best char! The street tacos are great! Highly recommend this place:)

This is my fourth time at Fiesta Chicken. I swear, the food just gets better and better. The portions are huge and the price is cheap! I indulged myself with their popular Chicken Chipotle Tacos ($10.99) or as I call them, crack tacos because they're so freaking addicting I could eat them every day. Three beautifully fluffy flour tortillas piled with their wonderfully seasoned namesake chicken, fresh pico, lettuce and cheese, drizzled with their insanely good chipotle dressing that is to die for. God, these are straight from heaven. Every bite is an explosion of flavor. I want to try their other dishes, but each time I step into this establishment my mouth starts to water at the thought of these. You've gotta try them to know what I mean! My husband has his go-to as well, and it's equally as delish - the Three Piece Leg & Thigh which comes with two sides. This round he chose Mac & Cheese and Mexican Rice. Okay yeah, the chicken is extremely tasteful as always and the rice was cooked to perfection, but holy cannoli that Mac & Cheese was outta this dang world. The noods were so soft they melted in your mouth. I'm guessing they add cream cheese or something of the sort because it was comfort food to a whole other level! Not to mention, the scoop was insanely big. entire platter posted with this review was only $9.99. It's hard to find such great food for reasonable prices in Boise. This almost seems too good to be true. The woman who took our order is the same who has done so previous times, maybe the owner? She's really sweet and patient. She always thanks patrons as they walk out. I'm already fantasizing about my next visit to Fiesta Chicken. Will I branch out or succumb to my needless desire for those tacos? I better head back soon to find out.

1/2 chicken plate with 2 sides
Jason S.

Came here this past week and really enjoyed it. Since they don't have El Pollo Loco here (In California this is a staple Mexican grilled chicken spot) this was for sure the next best thing. I had the 1/2 chicken with 2 sides (rice and beans) with flour tortillas. Simple dish that was well executed. The chicken had lots of great flavor grilled to perfection as well as juicy on the inside. They also have a fresh salsa bar to compliment your meal and all the freshly made salsas were delicious. They in addition have lots of other choices to choose from but remember their specialty is chicken so that's what a lot of the menu is catered to. So please don't leave any reviews about they didn't have X YZ because again it's specialty is chicken. Staff here was really nice and everything was met with a smile. For sure a new go to spot for grilled bbq chicken in the Boise area.

Chipotle chicken taco.

The chicken is the star here. Marinated and then charbroiled, it comes out crisp and tasty. It's as good as anything I've tasted. On my second visit, I tried one of their chipotle chicken tacos, which came highly recommended in a recent Idaho Statesman story. It was really good, but I like the chicken so much I may stick with it during future visits. Some other reviewers have complained the tortillas were on the dry side and unappetizingly crunchy, but that wasn't the case with the taco I had. That story also increased the popularity of the restaurant. On a recent Saturday, there were 23 customers 12 minutes after they opened. On a Saturday! Better get there early. The Robles family is planning to open a second location, at the old Wendy's on South Orchard Street in April. It will have about three times the size of the Ustick and Five Mile location. Service was friendly and the meals come out pretty quickly. Great restaurant for Boise.

Think El Polo Loco but authentic!!! Outside was Boise, inside was like being in Latin San Diego. Being one of the few gringo customers attest how authentic the food is. So. 1/2 chicken & 2 sides was two meals for me. The chicken was grilled over an open flame & seasoned (lime + ??) to perfection. The "street" tacos were very good as well. All prices under $10, so great taste along with reasonable prices.

Chipotle Chicken Taco

After my son recommending this place over and over we finally ordered tacos one night. Hubby brought chipotle chicken tacos home for dinner and we were never happier. They are big flour tacos. One isn't enough but two is too much for me (I'm a small eater) but the guys easier put three-five down. They are spicy! But not too spicy! Def you need to try them!

So. Much. Food. For such a little price tag

This is a very unique little joint. It has most of the traditional Mexican foods that you would expect to see in Idaho. But it also has fried chicken, homemade macaroni and cheese and the best broccoli salad. It's kind of a mix with Southern cuisine, I guess? Either way, it works! And it means that more people can enjoy the cuisine together. I've never actually been inside, because drive throughs. With little human beasts, drive throughs just get me. I have been extremely impressed with the service in the drive through! Fast, courteous and always with a smile. They also maintain their picture worthy presentation in the drive through. My burrito to go still had the same giant beauty of one served in house. We've had the chipotle chicken tacos, carne asada street tacos, green chicken burrito, beef burrito, all the sides, and the fried chicken. I have nothing negative to say about any of them. I love the chicken that they use inside the burrito. It must be pulled from the fried chicken, because it is on the drier side, which I love! It is packed with flavor. I will say, everything we have ordered has a kick of spice, so if your tongue is on the wimpier side of the Scoville scale, you might want to check with staff first.

And I'm also a bit of a salsa snob. We stopped in for happy hour for the first time and started with the FREE salsa -- which, apparently, isn't always a given in Boise. It was legitimately some of the best salsa I've ever had. Then we ordered the Grande Nachos with chicken. "Grande" is not false advertising. The portion was enormous, we got completely full, and never even made it to trying anything else. I can count on three fingers the places, out of MANY attempts, where I've found truly great nachos -- and these get the #1 finger. And no, that's not the middle finger. Highly recommend everything we've had so far. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu. So far: winner for sure.

THEIR HIBISCUS MARGARITA THO…read more.. 4.5 stars!! Seriously the best margarita I have had so far in Boise is this restaurant's hibiscus margarita. The flavor is amazing!! We came on a Saturday night and it was busy but not overly busy, which was nice. I started the evening with their regular house margarita, which was a bit too sour for my liking so our waitress suggested ordering a flavored margarita to add sweetness. I went out of the box and ordered their hibiscus margarita and WOW I'm coming back for more!! We were disappointed in their house salsa, but we did order a ceviche appetizer which was very fresh tasting. I really appreciated all the very fresh vegetables in the ceviche. My husband ordered the steak fajitas- amazing! I ordered the veggie enchiladas on flour tortillas- amazing! I appreciated how they have a side of carne asada that you can order. It was perfect for our young son who wanted steak. Our son also appreciated the Jarritos flavored sodas. Lastly, we were disappointed in the fried ice cream as it didn't have much flavor and the melted caramel it came with tasted like goat cheese. Prices were reasonable, service was good, and restaurant was nice and clean. Yes, I'll be coming back :)

A decent Selection of lunch menu offerings, I went with Chili Verde, pork in green sauce, eithucorn tortillas. We ordered chips and salsa, interesting because it's not complimentary as in so many Mexican places, is one hotter yellow sauce with pineapple, a typical medium sauce, and a mild, plus beans were ordered. The chips were gold, house made, the yellow sauce was definitely good, would probably be great on fish tacos, but the medium red was what I preferred with chips. Lunch arrived with the obligatory "hot plate" warning meaning it had bern in the oven. As always, I started by trying the rice and beans, v both were good enough I nearly finished them before even trying the Chili Verde. What was interesting here was I wanted to use the larger than average sized corn tortillas to get every bit of the verde sauce off the plate! Something, we were too busy talking to tell, was different. I don't ever remember wanting to sop all the sauce up with the tortillas before! Would I come back, yes, there is enough that looked interesting to return.

The menu has a few things you can order from burritos, tacos, tortas and other fun items. We ordered a Carne Asada Burrito and it has rice, beans, meat of choice & lettuce and avocado it was pretty good. We got some tacos as well and not sure if she mixed up another ordered but we were short 3 tacos on our order and that was a bummer.. I was really looking forward to them. Their asada, carnitas, el pastor were all really good and authentic flavor and loved that the pastor had the pineapple chunks as well. One thing I did dislike was I asked about chips order and it said $5 when I asked her if I can just have a couple, she was a bit confused and asked the lead there. Apparently they didn't have chips in their truck and had to go find them. That should have been my no thank you but I figured ohh let's give them a try. Once we got to our house and saw the $5 chips I was honestly a bit upset they were store bought nacho chips. Tacos are $2.50 I don't understand why chips are $5 and they aren't even like your traditional Mexican chips or something along those lines. That was my only downfall to this place but those are just chips. Their food was honestly good no doubt about it when we were ordering they had a few people eating there and a few to go orders. Maybe take them off the menu or make little baggies and purchase chips from a Mexican store or make your own tostadas..
