    What a step down. We loved their aquachile when we went a year or so ago. We had to come back. Back…read morethen they substituted octopus for shrimp in the aqualchile as my spouse is sensitive to shrimp. We saw they had greatly expanded their coastal Mexican concept with an entire picture menu of offerings, but no prices nor descriptions. So we just decided for a repeat - oh, the aquachile is ONLY available with shrimp? Well, a year ago... "it's only shrimp." - My spouse is allergic to shrimp. "We have other offerings." - So you won't repeat a year ago? --- Finally, "ok, but you won't like it. [Given the attitude, probably a correct statement.] And it's about a 60% higher price if you want octopus". [maybe cheap farmed shrimp versus frozen octopus?] We were traveling across Idaho and had not eaten that day. Still, I decide not to have anything. My spouse decides on a taco salad with shredded beef. She has it, I munch on the chips and salsa. Later [TMI - read if you wish], we had to make an emergency stop - she was feeling quite sick and had diarrhea. And we had already avoided shrimp. We won't be going back.

    My partner and I loved this place when we dined in 2023…read more We tried them again in early November 2024. Actually made a special trip to visit since our first visit in 2023 was so amazing. I'm not sure more could have gone wrong. I have a shrimp allergy. None of their Aqua Chili's have seafood other than shrimp. in 2023 they were able to substitute octopus in place of the shrimp with only a $5 up charge. When we asked this visit they said they could not do a substitution. When we said they did this last year our server went back to ask the chef and the chef said to double the price of the entree. So we looked over the menu. My partner filled up on their free refills of chips and salsa and I ordered the taco salad. It was good in taste, reasonable in quantity of food. BUT...it caused me an upset stomach within 15 minutes of finishing my meal and then some diarrhea about three hours later. Not a good recommendation. I'm not sure it was food poisoning, it might just be a sensitive stomach to their ingredients. However I did not experience this discomfort last year. As to the service, it was not very good. We had to ask for water refills and salsa refills. The server was not friendly when we asked for no shrimp and please substitute with octopus instead. Overall not a good experience and they definitely have gone down hill in the last year. And their prices have increased. I will not return!

    El Caporal - We call them cucarachas, but they are fresh prawns on a red sauce.

    I sincerely wanted this place to have good Mexican food. No... not just good food, I wanted it to…read morehave amazing food. I wanted to give it a five star review and support local restaurants and the families who run them. Sadly, that did not happen. My first clue should have been the empty parking lot. Let's be honest, an empty parking lot at a restaurant at 6:30 pm is never a good sign. Granted, it was a Thursday evening but... no cars? The second clue should have been the fact that the restaurant didn't even smell like food when I entered. I mean, don't restaurants normally smell like the food they are cooking? You would think that, unless of course they are opening a can of this and a can of that and throwing it in the microwave. The food was unpalatable. I'm not exaggerating. Oh sure, it was hot, but then again, so is poo when it comes out of the wagging end of a dog. Everything - EVERYTHING, from the rice and refried beans, to the Carne Asada burrito was completely flavorless. I have no idea how that happens. How does that happen? I mean, Taco Bell is disgusting, but at least it has flavor. Well, I tried to remedy the situation by using Tabasco sauce, in the end, I took three bites, gave up, and asked for my check. I gave them one star because the service was great. They were attentive and kind and the food was awful. I am hoping the owners will read this review and take drastic steps to improve the quality of their food. You should never leave a Mexican restaurant and think to yourself, "Gee, I wonder if there's a Taco Bell near by, I am still really hungry."

    Food was just okay. Not a lot of flavor. Service was great. Not sure I would make the trek again.read more
