    For my Galentines with my friends, we decided to hit up Las Calaveras. We have been to quite a few spots in Boise for our monthly outings so we wanted to check out something in Meridian. I have heard nothing but great things about this joint so I was hyped to come here. I arrived at 4:30 and it was pretty chill. There were a few tables already enjoying happy hour and some patrons at the bar. I knew I was going to have a great experience at this joint cause it was already semi busy this early in the evening. Kayla greeted me while I was looking over the menu. I ordered a Coke zero and chilled till my friends showed up. What I appreciate about the menu here is that it's reasonably priced. For a joint in downtown Meridian, they totally could have set a high price point. Tacos at 4 bucks. Tapas ranging around 5 or so. Happy hour prices were legit too. We wanted start off with some flautas and crispy jalapenos as an appetizer. I ordered a cup of their chicken tortilla soup with sour cream and avocado. I also got 2 orders of shrimp and chorizo Tapas to share with my friends. The flautas are so good! The tortilla was crispy and airy. The chicken in the inside was flavorful and tender. It was topped with all sorts of goodies and creama. The jalapeno appetizer was creamy and spicy. You can taste the salty bits of bacon. The cream cheese did help tame the heat of the jalapenos. They didn't hold back of the jalapenos, they were prominent. Those 2 appetizers are a must have! Our second round of food came and everyone's food looked fabulous! My soup had a generous amount of sour cream and avocado in top. There were hearty pieces of chicken, tomatoes and tortilla strips in every bite. The broth was savory and rich with a slight kick. The skewers I got had good sized shrimp and chorizo. It was topped with creama and cojita. I shared a couple with my friend and had a couple myself. They weren't shy with the portion of the shrimp and chorizo. I was so full from the soup, a couple skewers and our appetizers. I took the rest home to my daughter and she really enjoyed them as well. Las Calaveras has one of the dopest vibes to it. The music, the decor, the atmosphere, it's perfection. The venue is stunning, the food is hella good and the staff is super nice. I took my daughter to a similar themed restaurant for her birthday in Eagle and left so disappointed. I should have brought her here! We would have had a better experience at half the cost. By the time we left, the restaurant was packed. Packed on a Tuesday night. I can see why it was so busy! Las Calaveras hits the mark. They are fantastic and the crowd proves it. I look forward to coming back again with my friends or my daughter for another round of happy hour. I was dope I got to try this spot out. Looking forward to coming back very soon!

    Came here after church for lunch and will say it's such a fun place, in a great spot, and we really enjoyed our experience. The service was good, recommendations were good, and the food was fast, fresh and delicious. They had a great brunch menu, and everything we ordered was great. We would definitely go back and try other menu offerings.

    My husband and I were anxious to try this New Mexican Restaurant called "Las Calaveras" in downtown Meridian. We arrived around 1pm and got a nice booth near the front. I had the Huckleberry Margarita and it was really good. We ordered the chips & guacamole and the guacamole definitely had a little heat to it. Again, delicious and the chips were the crispy thick ones. We shared the Combo Fajitas and I wish the corn/flour tortillas were the next size up. They were the really small ones therefore it was hard to put all the toppings on the shell. Hopefully they read this and take the steps to buy the next size. The inside of the restaurant is decorated really nice and the wait staff was also nice. Our waitress was Sophia and she was very pleasant. We will definitely be coming back again to try different things in the men

    Omg best place for Mexican food from the three dip and chips appetizers to the chicken enchiladas and of course the mango margaritas. The place is so cool inside as well. Marlee was amazing with her service and personality. Will be back soon. HT from Meridian

    Unique vibe offering a nice selection of Mexican "cuisine." Service by Alejandro was attentive. Ordered chips and guacamole which was spot on. Had the Steak Elote Quesadilla - and wow! Too much for one person but really loved this dish. Will be back.

    Wonderful. Simply wonderful. Everything on the menu is so good and they have the best specials and happy hour. Can't recommend enough. Prices are really reasonable.

    Cute little restaurant with a small eclectic menu. We arrived during happy hour so each of us had a half price margarita (which were very tart, a bit too much lime dominant), chips & salsa and chips & guacamole for starters. The homemade chips were very good. My wife had the tortilla soup which was good but too spicy for her. I had the pollo lindo taco which was one of the best tacos I've ever eaten. Wonderful flavors with a pineapple pico that blended perfectly. Such a depth of flavor, delicious. Overall they need to work on their margarita mix and offer different heat levels for the more delicate palates.

    The food was great! Marlee was so amazing and kind. She was very attentive. Definitely planning another trip there.

    Chips and salsa verde, queso, cilantro dipping sauce.

    This place wasn't bad at all. We did come for lunch so it was a quick seat and we got our food pretty quickly. We got there at about 1 or so and it was still brunch. I do have to say, the brunch menu looks great, but there needs to be some sides with them. Potatoes or something. For lunch we both got three tacos for $3 each and added on a side. The corn ribs. Super yummy. The poblano taco has a nice kick to it. Steak needs some more seasoning. The chips and salsa flight were really great. The chips are a tad too thick. We ordered salsa verde, queso, and the cilantro sauce. I ordered a Mexican hot chocolate. I do not recommend getting that. You can tell it was made with straight water. I could buy my own mix and make it better, which I'll probably do.

    Good food but watching the waitstaff over socialize with each other while comparing their hair and nails was a turnoff. Touching and flinging their long hair before and after serving food yuck. Also very unorganized and the manager lady doesn't seem to have a grasp on things.

    Amazing waitress Kayla

    Food was superb, customer service even better. We had a large group right at dinner, Marlee got all the orders right, things came out quick and yummy! She was so sweet and attentive, a great waitress!!

    Shrimp and Chorizo skewers.  Very cool idea. Cotija cheese sauce

    A bit slow, understaffed, and overpriced. Fajitas had only 3 small tortillas. Not planning to return.

    Great food, excellent and friendly service, reasonable prices, and large portions…read more I had the Carnitas plate. Barely finished my plate (and I'm a big eater). My wife had the 2 Chiles Rellenos combo. She said that her meal was excellent. We're from California and have been lamenting not having a go to spot for Mexican food. Not anymore. We both agreed that we've found a new favorite.

    Friends recommended La Cabanita to us, so we came here on a Saturday at lunch time. Happily, it was…read morenot crowded. We sat at a corner table and were served by a pleasant male waiter. My wife ordered a chile rellano and an enchilda. I ordered camarones diabla, one of my favorite dishes. My wife had a coke and I had water. My wife really enjoyed her food, and there was plenty of it, as she brought some home. In my dish, the shrimp were nice and plump, which was great, and the sauce was flavorful, though not as good as at another place I frequent. There were small pieces of mushroom, but there were also a lot of strips of onion, which I'm not a fan of. Just my personal taste. They charge $3.50 for a soda, and for that price, my wife asked for a refill to go. She thought our server was perhaps a bit displeased that she made this request, but we feel that it is reasonable, given the price tag for soda that comes from a machine. All in all, we enjoyed our experience at La Cabanita, and will return, we happen to be in the area (we live in Star).
