We had a party of four, upon arrival we were greeted and welcomed by the friendly staff members. They have both booth or table options. Our greeter promptly served us chips and salsa along with our drink choice. They have a variety of menu options typical of most Mexican restaurants. We had tacos and a super burrito that were simply delicious. I highly enjoyed our meal and desert. The ingredients are fresh to the look and taste. We will be back soon. Atmosphere was relaxed and casual. Well done to the cooks and staff, we are grateful. read more

La Cabana Mexican - Deep fried vanilla ice cream - Mexican Near Me - Rathdrum, Idaho

Would have loved to have a good Mexican food place in Rathdrum but this isn't it. Food was very bland and most could probably fix something better at home. On the plus side there is plenty of parking and the service was good. Unfortunately, we won't be going back. read more

This is a new place for me but it's been there a a bit. As soon as we walked in we were smothered in friendliness. We had a group of people who had a variety of items and everyone was very happy. The food was very good and everyone agreed. The store was clean and appropriate for its food style. I will be back and with another group. read more

Food was good. Service was better They serve complementary salsa chips. Personally I was not a fan of the salsa because i could tell they used canned tomatoes or canned tomato sauce. Besides the salsa everything else was good. My favorite was the shredded beef taquitos. read more

We ordered for pick up did not eat in the restaurant. But I must say the service was dead on and the food was amazing.

This is the best Mexican food I've had in a long time! The service was great we had our food in 10 minutes! Definitely recommend!

We have been here for years and never came to this place. We walked in, were seated immediately, had water in less than a minute and drinks in less than three. They were so on top of it, without being annoying. The food came without delay. The follow up was spot on. The only thing keeping away the 5th star is the ambiance was just off a bit. A little too bright maybe. Maybe because it's right next to the grocery store. Not sure but it was a small thing. Definitely give it a try. read more

I was expecting the fajitas to be served in the usual fashion: Sizzling in a cast-iron pan. Nope. They were served in some kind of sauce. That might be acceptable to some who don't know any better, but having lived in border towns most of my life, I can assure you that's not how Mexican food should look or taste. read more

My hubby and I love this place, we go a couple times a month, the sweet waitress knows our order before we sit down . Chicken chimichanga is soooo yummy and the street tacos and my high school kids love the big burrito! read more

I was skeptical because we've tried a few places in CDA and Hayden that haven't been the greatest. My husband is super picky with his Chile Colorado. During the pandemic, we did an order pickup and everything was pretty good. But there's something about picking up your food and taking it home that just can't quite satisfy you the way eating in the restaurant can. As soon as we were able to eat in restaurant we decided to go in. The decor was authentic and had some beautiful artwork. We were immediately sat and given chips and a nice spread of salsa's (hot and mild). My husband ordered the Chili Colorado (again), my daughter ordered a carne asada taco plate, and I ordered the combo plate with an enchilada, chile rellano and taco. I also decided on a peach margarita and was not disappointed. The rice had veggies in it, the sauces were very good. The service was amazing. Between this order and the pickup order we have been able to meet both the husband and wife owners. Super friendly people!! We will DEFINITELY be back. We found our place!! read more

La Cabana Mexican - a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Rathdrum, Idaho

Delicious, fresh and fast. The salsa was house-made and delicious. Chicken enchilada, chili relleno, rice and beans were all very good. Service was excellent and I can't wait to come back! read more

Great tacos, good salsa, always busy, but you don't have to wait too long. (Post falls)

I have tried many items on the menu over the last 3 years and have loved all that I have had there!! The staff is wonderful. very warm, caring and super pleasing! we have tried other Mexican Food Restaurants in the area and none of them measure up. not even close!! read more

My favorite Mexican Restaurant in Rathdrum. From the food to the margarita it cannot be beat. I am an enchilada verde freak. I lived in Mexico for 14 years. This is the closest to authenticity I can find! The green sauce is so good. The Margie's are really good as well. The service is always top notch, very quick to receive your food but absolutely not rushed to leave. Don't miss the fajitas either. So hard to find good ones. These guys hit it on the mark! read more

Good service, terrible food. I paid $15, for watery flavorless sauce and very small enchiladas that aren't even filled all the way to the end of the tiny tortillas. The whole meal was very bland and unsatisfying. read more

Great food and Great service there was 4 in our party and one who is a tender mouth person. But his food was perfect for him just liked it. And they had a very mild salsa that he loved on his chips the rest of us love it hot so we all had a great dinner!!! read more

Avoid this place as the food has zero flavor as I had much better food at Taco Bell. The menu needs to much more flavor as I can open a can of refied been and bland rice to a flour tortillas and charge $20 as this is a joke for being Mexican. DO NOT GO HERE read more

I love this place... it's had new owners since February 2019... the folks are friendly and the food is great! Get the carne asada street tacos! The meat quality is unsurpassed! read more

La Cabana Mexican - a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Rathdrum, Idaho

We absolutely love to frequent this restaurant. We had been waiting for two months to go back. My husband I think this is the best Mexican food to be had in North Idaho. He had the steak, chicken & shrimp meal while I enjoyed the combo fajita dinner. We came away with our bellies full and smiles on our faces. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming. We love to dine here. read more

We decided to give this establishment a second chance tonight. Big mistake. Literally the worst restaurant meal we've ever had. We started off by being seated uncomfortably close to the other two occupied tables. With the enormous amount of empty space it came across as inconsiderate to be positioned as we were. I did not feel comfortable with speaking up about it so we stuck it out. The chips were very good. The salsa was awful in our opinion. Way too much chili powder or possibly cumin. I ordered the chicken nachos. My spouse ordered the "cheese crispies" or something like that. She initially ordered the wrong item because the picture was placed incorrectly on the menu. After mentioning it, the waitress brought a different item, also incorrect. We did not argue this because we just wanted out of there. Both of us agreed that the chicken tasted like canned. I only took two or three bites of my nachos. She ate a very small portion of her meal. And we left a huge amount of food on the table. I went ahead and tipped five dollars because I felt badly for the people having to work at this dump. I'm not angry, I just feel sad for the people working at this place. We will never return again. The first time we went there, which was about three years ago. It was also terrible, but we wanted to give it a second chance. Fool me one time. read more

Ok I dont know why the reviews are so low. But apparently theres new management. My bf and i went and got 2 giant super wet burritos. Mine w shrimp his was chicken and guacamole and sour cream. We also got the chips and salsa. This. Place. Is. The. Best!!! So stoked its 5 mins from our house! Also we got ours to go and it was cooked in like 5-10 mins super fast. The shrimp burrito was so flavorful with the cheese, refried beans and seasoned shrimp! We both ate the whole portion which was a giant portion. Makes me happy that my bf said the last time he ate here he was full for 5 hours. I'm all about that! We also tried the flan which was scrumptious. Most def will be back! Gracias La Cabana! Until next time! read more

UM AMAZING FOOD. Soooo yummy, best Mexican I've had for the area. Will be back, a lot.

This has to be one of the worst Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. I Always try the Chille Verde wherever I go. It was soup, It was small pieces of pork in green soup, not sauce. The chicken enchiladas had no flavor and barely any chicken. The Mole was bland flavorless. One and done, never going to this place or their other locations again. They know nothing about making mexican food. read more

This place was good. I'm from Southern California and I'm trying to get used to mushrooms in my food? Don't know the obsession up here but it is what it is; the food was good, beans were delish and my enchiladas were good. I would say I feel the taco shells are pre-made and not the best but it was decent food with real salsa. I would go again. read more

I have to agree with JT and his review. I'll be a little more generous with two stars just because the waitress and staff were very friendly. Whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant I always get the Chile Verde. It's my favorite dish so I had to get it here. Like JT said, not good at all. Definitely taste like they just used the sauce from a La Victoria can be use it has a very distinct "not authentic" flavor. It's unfortunate because my wife loved her dish but I will not be back and I was very hopeful that it would be good since it is literally just 5 minutes from our house but sounds like we'll have to drive to CDA for Mexican Food. read more

Great chips and salsa, in Rathdrum Idaho. Very nice couple that owns this great little spot. Very tasty Mexican food. The fiesta platter is the deal of all deals!! read more

We love this restaurant! Every meal is consistent and delicious!!! I highly recommend it!!!

Great service and very friendly staff.. the foo was amazing! Had the super burrito with chicken. Awesome stuff!!

With new owner/managers this place is excellent definitely give them a try. I have enjoyed many delicious menu items. Most recent was tamales. Made fresh in house and so delicious. Great chips and salsa. The restaurant is very clean and cared for the owners really want the diners to feel comfortable and take their time enjoying the delicious food and atmosphere. read more

Friendly, quick service. Food was yummy! Restaurant was clean and organized. Staff was very polite

Easily the worst experience with a Mexican restaurant ever. I've eaten Mexican food in Mexico, California, Arizona, Texas and a lot of other places including most in our region and this was the bottom of the list. What wasn't dry and bland was way too salty. The ingredients all looked like they came from a can including the"meat". It looked grey and featureless and met expectations. Service was slow and made our group feel as if we were intruding by being there. The air of indifference was overwhelming. Just reviewing this place as a "restaurant" and not as a Mexican restaurant wouldn't help. I detest fast food, but if offered this or the local fast food place, I'd pick the fast food. Terrible. read more

Decent place for Mexican food a step up from Taco Bell. Dropped in for lunch, quick service and good food. Would come back soon, when in the area. read more

I just want to say the food is good here but the blonde waitress 9-25-2015 after 5 pm was so was absolutely so rude and loudly rude to us that if she is ever in there when we go to eat again, we will walk right out. This girl (age about 24) has no business in the service industry and they should keep an eye on her behavior because most people just don't like to say anything they would rather just not go back, it's a shame. . read more

This restaurant has amazing, authentic Mexican food for a very reasonable price, and really fast too! (It generally takes about 15-20 minutes.). I've gotten take out here innumerable times and it's always hot and delicious. The staff is friendly and the service is good. read more

This review is for post falls Idaho which the menu is way more expensive. I would give this 0 stars if I could. Paid 7.50 for margarita that had no alcohol. By far my worst experience for Mexican food ever. I would rather eat Taco Bell. I would love to hear from a manager. 62$ for the worst dinner I have ever eaten. I do not post a lot but please don't go here. read more

The worst restaurant we have ever been to in North Idaho. Sat down and the service started well but then went for a turn. After taking our order, we waited almost 1 hour before getting our food to us which by the time it came was ice cold. While waiting for our food, it was an inconvenience to the "wait staff" that we interrupt their talking to each-other to get a refill on our water. We planned on eating the food we had ordered but when we told them that the food was cold. They ripped it off the table and said "you dont need to pay for it" and told us we could leave. Will never eat there or recommend this shithole again. read more

I literally got seated at one hipster "Mexican" restaurant in town and immediately left to come here! This is my favorite kind of family style restaurant. The staff is so kind they are like family and the level of cleanliness and beautiful food is outstanding. Beyond compare. read more

Ever since they changed owners, the food is terrible. We went back a second time and it was still terrible so we will never go back. They changed the chips also. The other chips were delicious. We always looked forward to them. Must be new cooks or something but we'd like to go to Spirit Lake now for our Mexican food. The best we have found is now in Spirit Lake. read more

My Dad who recently passed away loved Mexican food and this was a favorite restaurant of his. For his memorial service, we had La Cabana cater the dinner reception. They were fantastic to work with our ever changing needs and wants. The food was excellent and received rave reviews from all who attended. Thank you so much for making what was a heart breaking event into one of great joy knowing it was what Dad would have enjoyed so much - The Fulbright Family. read more
