If you are in Pocatello, eat here…read more We dined on a Friday night. 90% capacity. No line. A little slow to get us seated but as kind as other reviewers have noted. Everyone was kind. Thank you! Dinner took 30 minutes to reach our table. A little long and it's not like they were full with a line of people waiting. Their chips looked and seemed generic, but they were good. Salsa was about a 10/10 for me. Flavor, heat, consistency. Perfect. Bean dip was good. Nacho queso was fun, but a little plain. I appreciated having it. I had 3 shredded beef tacos, and beans and rice. One of my major complaints of an otherwise very good experience. Is that two out of my three tacos were soggy by the time I got to them and I tried to get to them immediately before I started in on the beans and rice to prevent eating soggy tacos. Anyway, that was a big disappointment. Beyond that, the freshness and flavor and quality was great. I enjoyed everything. I would definitely eat here again. I'm not sure if my tacos were soggy from the tomatoes or the shredded beef or because they were sitting under the heat light for too long. I would need to figure that out next time, if I'm ever in Pocatello again... There was live music, and that was fun. At the end of our meal thy brought out chips with cinnamon, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle. Free of charge. This is not my type of thing at all. But I have to admit it was a nice little treat after dinner and was very, very good. The only reason I'm not giving this a five star review is because of the soggy tacos. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. Everything was great.

I can't wait to return!! The staff was incredibly patient as I scoured all the choices with a magnifying glass. I chose three tacos and due to a restricted diet, a salad. The salad was huge, the carnitas and carne asado tacos were outstanding, the pickled carrots, jalapenos, onions and peppers were so fresh and homemade!! The salsa verde I couldn't stop asking for more!! The staff, management and servers were so on it and truly kind to us and all their, obvious, returning diners!! Nothing was remotely empty as they consistently checked back with us, and everyone else, and boy did we devour everything!! I can't wait to return to this restaurant again. 7 stars!! Thank you Dave for recommending this gem!!! Prices were incredibly reasonable as well. Authenticity and kindness at it's best!! They certainly could expand as the business was consistent and the service fast but not rushed!!! Maybe a franchise in Los Angeles!!!

I ordered the smothered tamales, and I had never had anything quite like that before. The food came out hot and tasted fresh.

We ate wonderful chips and salsa before our entrees arrived and it was a lively atmosphere with people pouring in and filling the place up! Hubby was happy as well. I ordered the tres chilies and was extremely happy that I did!! The pork green chili was tender and spicy and the relleño was fabulous which leaves the red chili Colorado.

My daughter ordered street tacos, and my son ordered the Chili Colorado steak burrito. The ground beef taco was good with just the right amount of seasoning, the cheese enchiladas had a great sauce and was served with Spanish rice. My son's burrito had good flavor and the meat was extremely tender served with a really good enchilada sauce. My daughter's street taco was just ok. To me, there was nothing special about his they cooked the meat and could've used more seasoning. Now for my fish tacos. First off, I made the mistake of ordering mango salad and pico degallo on the fish tacos. Their secret sauce tasted like ranch dressing. Nothing secret about that. The fish was not the least bit crunchy or flaky. It was mushy. The flavors did not mesh at all. And where is my lime? Don't order this one. Overall, I thought the sides were good, the rice, and the beans. My only criticism with these sides, they needed more salt to make the flavors pop. I'm down to trying this place again. Just not going to order fish tacos again.

We have been quasi-regulars for the past 2 years and have watched both the customer service level go down and the food quality shrink. We understand being short-staffed. We're from one of the nearby tourist meccas and you can never have enough employees. However, when your staff is overworked and tired they need to let your customers know they're doing their best. Last night the gentleman at the cash register couldn't be bothered to say, "Hello," let alone make eye contact. Is he worn out from too many shifts? Does he not know that he should be greeting customers? If he had said something along the lines of, "So sorry I had my back to you for so long, these to-go orders are crazy tonight!" we might have understood. ! As it was, when we left, I wondered why we had bothered spending our hard earned money there. Now, the food. Not bad. We appreciate that you're open on Sundays. But, there seems to be less of it and it seems to be less....fresh. Still better than a lot of the Mexican food in Pocatello, but it's slipping. The restaurant looks great from the outside-nice reno, guys!! (I do miss the tables on the inside, though...they lent a touch of whacky character that seems to be missing now. But, I understand change.) So, all in all....we'll probably be back. That craving for Mexican food hits us occasionally and this is where we'll end up. By then I'm hoping someone will understand that it's the food AND THE PEOPLE that bring your customers back.
