This may be a solid option for Boise, but in my personal opinion on being a foodie, this is possible for tacos. I ordered the chicken, steak (asada), and pork (carnitas). They all came out individually in little paper boats, which was cool. The flavor were decent, but I wouldn't say authentic. They did not serve rice there. I did order chips and salsa. I was disappointed that the salsa looks like Pace Picante. Service was excellent and the place was clean. Overall, a good place to eat, but if you're looking for authentic Mexican tacos, that has to be other places around here.

I recently visited Tin Roof Tacos in Boise for a 6-taco to-go order and found it to be a spot with…read morehigh highs and a few notable lows. Atmosphere & Community Impact The vibe at this Broadway Ave location is undeniably cool. The industrial, "sticker-covered warehouse" aesthetic feels authentic to the local scene, and the outdoor covered patio is a major highlight. On a nice evening, the rustic charcoal fire pit adds a great communal warmth that makes you want to linger with friends. A particularly unique touch is the collection of military patches displayed along the bar area, which adds a personal, respectful character to the space. However, I found it quite surprising that while the decor clearly honors the military, they do not currently offer a standard military or veteran discount. For a place that wears its support on its sleeve, it felt like a bit of a disconnect for us vets. The Tacos: A Deep Dive We sampled a wide variety from the menu, and here is how they stacked up: #5 Picadillo ($3.00): Our absolute favorite. The spicy ground beef was perfectly balanced with soft potatoes and green chilis. It had a "home-cooked" depth of flavor that really stood out--I'd come back just for a tray of these. #7 Beef Fajita ($3.50): A very close second. The grilled steak had a nice spicy kick and was topped with well-charred onions and fresh cilantro. The meat quality was excellent. #1 Pulled Pork ($3.00): This taco was "not bad," but the ratio felt a bit off. The pickled red onions, while bright and fresh, were a little overpowering and tended to mask the flavor of the shredded pork and cotija cheese. #14 Baja Shrimp ($3.50): Unfortunately, this was the low point of the meal. While the chile lime batter sounded promising, the shrimp itself was significantly overcooked and tough. It was difficult to chew, and I ultimately couldn't finish it. Overall Verdict Tin Roof Tacos offers great value and a fantastic casual environment. If you stick to the beef options--especially that Picadillo--you're in for a treat. I'll likely skip the seafood next time, but the atmosphere and beef tacos are enough to earn a return visit.

The Funky Taco has one of the best atmospheres in Boise. The ambiance, food presentation, and…read moredrinks all feel like something you'd find in Portland. The live music was a huge bonus, and it's easy to see why this place is popular. The prices are reasonable, and it's great that they offer catering and Taco Tuesday specials. The flavors were excellent, and it's a vegetarian's dream with plenty of creative options. My only complaint was the nachos. They look incredible when they arrive, but they're a little more about presentation than function. I was hoping for a bit more meat and a better balance of toppings to make them easier to eat. That's the only reason for the four stars. Everything else was fantastic, and with just a little more substance behind the presentation, this would easily be a five-star restaurant.

Meal of a beef tomal and azada enchalada with beans and rice. The beef tomal was pretty flavorless. The azada in the enchilada was the same used in the street taco, so it was really good. But then generic enchalada sauce, basic refried beans, and rice that was so dry there were crunchies - but not like the good, flavorful, caramelized paella crunchy. Asked the manager if they made the tomals because it was a way different beef flavor, and she insisted "yes." She was very disengaged, but at least I saw someone in the dining room cleaning the tables. Second meal was a pork tomal and lingua enchilada with beans and rice. Pork was better than the beef. There were a couple bites of the lingua that seemed... a little off, like it was old. Same beans, but at least the rice this time wasn't as dehydrated. The person attending the counter seemed to have an attitude and didn't feel like he wanted to be there. Never saw any of the tables wiped off in my 45 minutes there for lunch. So, street tacos - fantastic. Everything else so far, basic Mexican fare.
