    The private room available for rentals.
    Katrina F.

    Lalo delivers a fun, immersive speakeasy experience from the moment you walk in -- the cave entrance sets the mood before you even reach the beautifully decorated bar. The tableside guac is a must, and we also tried the queso, which was good and perfect for sharing. Service was friendly and attentive. Our favorite drink was the Smoked Peaches & Cream -- the smoky mezcal paired perfectly with the sweet peach, and the presentation made it even more memorable. The mango cantarito and guava margarita were okay, but not a standout or something I would order again. It's on the pricier side, and you're paying more for the atmosphere and experience than exceptional cocktails. They also showed us a private group room available to rent out. Not somewhere I feel the need to revisit, but I'm glad we went once for the experience.

    No idea where to start. This place is incredible. The entrance is so unique and very cool. Then you enter the main room (after passing the "cartel" room. The service was world class. The food as well. Great small plate selection. We tried several plates and drinks and each was as good as the other. Amazing selection of tequila and tequila bars craft cocktails. Also an amazing Whiskey collection. Make a reservation as the place is busy and deservedly so. Best new bar in the valley. GO!!!!

    Dayna was fantastic! Thank you for making our party party amazing and when we won won't soon forget!

    We had a party of 13 in the cartel room. It was absolutely amazing. Great ambience. Service is outstanding. Dayna was fantastic, her recommendations were spot on. Everything was delicious, off the charts. They're bacon wrap dates and the ceviche were so great, as well as the guacamole! They fry in beef tallow and everything is fresh. An absolute must. We will definitely be back.

    More than a cantina... it's an experience! From the time you enter the door to the cave until you leave, it is truly an experience unlike anything I have experienced! First off, I would definitely recommend making reservations as space is limited. Food: 3.5/5. There are not many food options, so I would not recommend coming if you are hungry and plan on eating before or after. On that note, the food was just ok. The guacamole was pretty good, but smaller than I thought it would be. The ceviche was pretty spicy and didn't do it for me. I was really sad they didn't have the churros or fried ice cream for dessert. We had the truffles though that were great! There was a spicy one that reminded me of a Mexican mocha that was my favorite. Service: 5/5. The service was amazing. We were seated fairly quickly with our reservations and our server was super nice and helpful. Atmosphere: 5/5. What a cool spot! It is unlike any other place I've been. I feel like it would be a place in Disneyland - magical and takes you to another world.

    Funny how the troll accounts come out when a new place opens up. Evident here. But despite this, had to try. Same owners as the speakeasy Gatsby and Sid's Garage downtown. And because of this, a lot of similarities with Gatsby's. Windowless, unique glassware, and finishing touches on the cocktails. Makes for a fun and unique experience. A+ for the decor and transformation into Mexico. The cave entrance into the bar is one of a kind. Felt like I was a kid again back at Knott's Berry Farm. YKYK. The bar is so well decorated. Great job with the murals, candles, and the vibe. Our server, Dayna, was a doll (sound like an old man). She was sweet, fun, and very nice. Great service. Dining options are limited but we were prepared from some of the other reviews. You don't come here for the food, yet. Tried the table side guac and pico de gallo with the "famous" chips. The chips are good and obviously fresh, yet a bit too salty for me. Doesn't make them bad, just made our mouths pucker at the end. The cocktails helped with that :-). Portions aren't huge but again, not here to eat a meal. Flavors are there so it was good. I had a guava margarita that was yummy. Drinking from a glass straw is fun. The Diablo margarita was also good. Unique add with the wine to offset the pepper. I also tried their brown butter old fashioned. Wow, what a sweet and flavorful twist. This was almost like a dessert rather than a cocktail. A+ for presentation. I took a video but it didn't come out very well with the dim lighting. I saw the previous review about the merchant fee on the check (3%). Normally not a big deal, passing the fee on to the users. I get it. But I researched it. I Wonder why they're adding it even when they don't know if I'm paying with cash or a debit card? Double-edged sword I guess. Either raise your prices to cover or add it to the check. Ignorance is bliss in my opinion. Looks odd on a check.

    We were super excited to make and confirm reservations at Lalo on Halloween night. My wife never has the day after Halloween off so it was definitely special. I had made reservations about a week in advance for a table and were offered either to sit at the bar or a table. I made the mistake of not being steadfast with my reservation-more about shortly The service is phenomenal and we were led through a cave and we stopped a special booth reserved for club members. That's cool. The bar room with booths, tables and high chaired stools at the bar. After walking past several empty booths and tables and seeing our two chairs at the bar, I had immediate regret. We asked if we could change, but it was too late and that's a shame since we originally booked a table. My reservation number was 7WS9Y8MJBJ6 We sat at the right side end of the bar and while we had an amazing view of the bar back and bartenders in their on point Halloween costumes that intimate date night we were looking for was out the window faster than Uncle Rico touchdown pass to Napoleon. Our bartender who was dressed as Sally from a Nightmare before Christmas was so nice and entertained all my questions even while she was busy making and pour drinks. She was an all-star. I ordered table-side guacamole since their menu offerings were not quite yet finalized. The guacamole cart and gentleman came. He put the chips next to wife and I. He said something that I couldn't understand and I really appreciated his patience as after the third time he was able to let me know in my ear that the chips were fried in beef tallow. Glad he told me because had I not waited for him to say something, I would have had some severe cramps as I haven't had meat or meat by products in six years. The team at Lalo completely understood and was so nice about everything. My drinks were fabulous. Can't rave enough about them all. I think my favorite was the Oaxaca Old Fashioned and least favorite was a beer - chaser in a can wrapped in paper bag. I get thats the theme but I looked like a complete idiot with a brown paper bag with a beer can inside. As an overall visit, Lalo is a lot of fun and we will be back.

    If you're anywhere near Eagle or Boise and not eating at Lalo Cantina, you're doing it wrong. The tableside guacamole is 12/10 and the ceviche is to die for--fresh, flavorful, and made with serious intention. You can taste the quality and care in every bite. Our waitress Dayna was an absolute gem--attentive, warm, and genuinely made the experience special. The manager Ethan is amazing and clearly runs a tight ship while keeping the vibe welcoming and fun. And the owners? Incredible humans. The hospitality here is truly outta this world--you feel it the moment you walk in. We ate in the Cartel Room, which is hands-down the coolest private room in Boise. Perfect atmosphere, great energy, and an unforgettable setting. Food, service, hospitality, and ambiance--Lalo Cantina nails all of it. We'll be back... a lot.

    Pickle-Rita
    Jordan C.

    3.5 stars Atmosphere was great - Regional Mexican music, dim lighting, fantastic mural, Talavera Mexican tiles throughout. We sat at the bar, chairs are spaced well to allow for privacy and not feel overcrowded. No napkins provided at the bar, aside from drink napkins; would have liked to receive cloth napkins. The drink presentation was excellent, but the strength of the drinks did not match the ambiance. The Pickle-Rita had more lime flavor than pickle and the other drinks didn't have much of a punch. The homemade beef tallow chips were the star of the show, truly delicious. Guac and pico de gallo had great flavor, but portions were small. Lastly, the merchant fee on the final check was a surprise and is a unique choice for an upscale establishment. This is something expected to be built into the pricing of menu items.

    Dana is amazing! I can't wait to go back and have her as our server again because she was so amazing. Drinks were on point. We love this place!

    We had an amazing experience at Lalo Cantina! The drinks were well priced for top tier cocktails with top shelf, Additive free Tequilas. We devoured the table side quacamole and queso with Chicharrones (best chicharrones I've had outside of Tlaquepaque, Jalisco)! Love the decore and lighting, its like being in an upscale tequila bar in Guadalajara. Amazing service from Dayna and Travis! We'll be back again and again.

    What a great little Gem in Eagle. I already made reservations for December and January. Awesome to not have to drive all the way into Boise for a cute little place to relax with friends.

    Ryan T.

    If you're in the mood for a new bar, this is the place! Just a heads-up, though, it's not a restaurant, so don't expect a full meal. You'll find chips, guacamole, and prawns for $4ea. The drinks are pretty good and not too expensive. The vibe is great, but the music is a bit loud, so conversations can be challenging. Just don't come hungry! I'd rather go to Mesa Tacos or even Chapala's, where we can get a good drink and food.

I don't smoke, & sensitive to all types of smoke...so I'd thought I'd have issues here... but their state of the art air purification system really works! I came as I appreciate quality & creativity when a full bar is present, being the Foodie that I am! Every staff member (as well as patrons) I met were all genuinely friendly, & full of ideas of drinks to try.

As I'm a very light drinker, I qonly got to enjoy one delish drink this time , but I got to try another drink the 1st time I came, & I had a sip of my friend's drink ... all 3 drinks were fantastic... in quality spirits, in presentation, in atmosphere the drinks were enjoyed in... I highly recommend this as another downtown Eagle destination, even if u don't smoke, or u smoke but don't want to drink...as the cozy yet ample enviro lends itself to both intimate as well as group gatherings. I appreciate that I can bring my own food in, & that there is both indoor as well as outdoor seating. I rate it as very accessible, as multi seat types, multi entrances, spacious interior & exterior. Honestly it was nice to not feel rushed... & it was fairly quiet yet lively while I was there both times... so u can actually hear who u are talking to, unlike many restaurants (& coffee shops). Shout out to the great new GM & both bartenders who were very patient with this self proclaimed high interest low liquor knowledge gal

    I get the salmon every time I go and it is amazing!

This is our go to spot for birthdays! When I used to be able to eat their cheesecake I would get it every time as well, it's all so delicious!

    Headed to Bardenay in Eagle to celebrate my birthday with some family tonight. They arrived first…read moreand got us a table out on the patio. It was the most perfect day for outdoor seating. And with the view by the patio, how can it not be the most perfect setting to enjoy my birthday dinner. We just stuck with water since it was on the warmer side today. We just went straight in for dinner. As much as the appetizers sounded lovely, I was ready for the main event. So for dinner tonight I ordered the charboiled salmon with seasonal veggies in place of the salad. My salmon was plated beautifully with nice char marks on it. The veggies were a variety of squash and were sautéed nicely. And you can tell visually that they were seasoned nicely with spices and herbs. I dug right into my salmon. My first couple bites were delicious. I did spread some of the sun dried tomato butter on my salmon. The butter was fantastic! It added a nice flavor element to the salmon. After I ate about a a fourth of my salmon, I noticed that it was not cooked all the way through in the middle. With my new kidney, I can't have rare or undercooked fish. My immune system can't handle a parasite if the fish were to potentially contain any. I shouldn't have assumed that it was going to be cooked all the way since our server didn't ask how well I wanted it cooked. I did have to send it back and have another one remade. While my new fish was being prepared, my server gave me a small salad plate to transfer my veggies to. I got to work on them so I wasn't staring at my family eat. The veggies were cooked perfectly. They weren't overly soft or still raw. It had a nice bite to them while still being tender. Unfortunately, they were overly seasoned and was on the saltier side. I was hungry so I polished them off. But I did have to drink a good amount of water to help with the saltiness. Thank goodness the portion was on the daintier side. As hungry as I was, it would have been bad if it was a bigger portion. All that salt would not be good on my new kidney. My second round of salmon came out. Was it as pretty as my first plate, no but it will do. I'm sure they set the flame on high, let it sit on the grill for a while and then flipped it to cook the other side. I have cooked salmon well done plenty of times and have it come out tender. When you cook for a living, having cooking times for your dishes should be down to a science in your kitchen. Unfortunately, the salmon was super dry and flavorless. As hungry as I was, I ate it. The butter did help with the dryness of the salmon. But I shouldn't have to rely on butter to make the dish edible. For my birthday, I got a free dessert. I chose the gluten free carrot cake. My cousin eats a gluten free diet so I thought this cake would be perfect for all of us. I enjoyed the cake very much! The cake was moist. The spices in the cake were fragrant and very noticeable in each bite. I loved the frosting on the cake. Since the cake wasn't overly sweet, the frosting added a nice sweetness to it. I enjoyed the cake very much! Our server did a mid job. There were times when she would be gone for long periods of time and we had to wait for her. The patio was perfect with its stunning view. Dinner was ok but dessert was fabulous. Overall it was a decent experience. I do look forward to coming back and enjoying the outdoor patio with my husband for a date night. I just know now to make sure I vocalize everything to my server so I don't end up with dry salmon again. I do want to come back and have a better experience.

Ambiance is kind of like a dive bar. Food was not the best and a bit overpriced. I tried the beef barbacoa tacos and pulled pork sandwich. The taco was okay, but the pulled pork was pretty dry even with the bbq sauce. Ordered an Old Fashioned drink with my meal. I always judge a bar by how they make the traditional drinks like Old Fashioned, mojitos, and Long Island ice tea to name a few. It was bad. Not sure how they got it bad. Too much bitters? Cheap alcohol? I don't know. The "highlight" of my night was an interaction with the bartender lady. After all the eating, my friends and I stuck around outside to chat. I decided to go back in to grab a beer.The Yakima Blend IPA caught my attention so I asked for that. I pay $13 for it. Bartender gives me my cash change. I leave a $5 bill as tip (on a $13 beer!). She takes it and asks, "That's it?" Too good for a 40% tip? My company keeps an unofficial list of must-try and stay-away-from hotels and restaurants near our offices in various states. Old State Saloon has been added to the stay-away-from list as of a week ago.
