Carne asada burrito with fries aka California Burrito
Billi B.

Was driving home and I was craving a burrito so I decided to try this place out. From the outside it looks like a typical taco shop. Went through the drive thru. No cars, no wait. I wanted a legitimate California burrito so I asked them if they can replace the potatoes for fries which they did. Burrito was massive! About the same size as my forearm. It was loaded and well balanced with protein, fats and carbohydrates. Overall, I enjoyed this massive burrito. The only downside to it was I had maybe 2-3 bites that had one of those super chewy fatty carne asada pieces. Other than that I thought it was great!

2 taco combo meal

Highly disappointed in tonight's dinner. Stopped at Los Betos for some Mexican food. When we got there we found out that it's drive thru only. It wasn't a big deal so we ordered to go. I ordered the two taco combo meal and my husband grabbed the two enchilada combo meal. Everything was going smoothly. Paid at the window. After hanging out for a bit while the food was being made the gentleman working the window told us they were out of rice. With rice being a main side for all your meals, how does one run out of rice? We were asked if we wanted any salsa. We said yes. Got our food and headed on our way. Arriving home I was getting our dinners situated. Opening my to go container, everything looked great but it was hard not to notice how much smaller the tacos they are serving now. They have shrunk dramatically. They were good but would have been better if the salsa that they were supposed to give me were in the bag. The tacos are very one noted since there was no salsa to pair with it. My husband's enchilada was ok. They were not really warm in the middle. The way everything was packaged, it looked like it was all slapped together really fast. I have really fond memories of Los Betos. Late night snacks. Food after going out. But tonight's dinner just didn't make the cut. With Mexican restaurants popping up all over town, you'd think you'd be on top of your A game. Unfortunately tonight really missed that mark from food, service and presentation.

Listen, if I'm paying $11 for a burrito I might want more than two little salsas. I think it's reasonable. Especially since I can always go inside and get it.

If you are used to Taco Shops in CA. This is it. Drive thru only. Open 24 hours. Consistently good.

Where you gonna go when it's 3:00 in the morning and you're bored and hungry and craving Mexican food? Or when you drank way too much the night before and need a greasy, fat meal to get over that hangover? Or really, any time you want cheap food?! Thank God for Betos, Boise's original 'round-the-clock drive thru. It's 10:30am on Tuesday and my dumbass didn't eat breakfast and my belly is screaming at me. Mexican food sounded so good but I didn't want anything fancy. So Los Betos it was! I ordered Combination Plate #14 - Chicken Chimichanga ($11.49). I didn't have to wait long at all before I was able to lose myself in the most delicious meal I thought I'd ever had (at the time). First thing I noticed was how damn hefty that box was. The freaking thing must have weighed about 5 pounds and I probably gained 10 after eating it. There was an extremely generous amount of rice, beans, lettuce and guac. All surrounding my beautiful bundle of heavenly deep fried deliciousness which was also stuffed to the max of yummy chicken and cheese sprinkled on top. I am so hungry just thinking about how delicious and amazing this meal was. Not to mention the value is unbeatable. This guy lasted me two fantastic meals and was the reason I survived that Tuesday. Perfect seasoning, excellent flavor, none of that day-old greasy aftertaste. It was all so f r e s h. I could go on but I think I've made my point. This is my new favorite Betos item. I've had it in the past but someone was done right with this particular chimichanga. Idk what it was but it's got me tempted to swing by tonight for more. 10/10 all the way!

Chorizo burrito, I pulled apart to add sour cream and guacamole.

I can only review for the breakfast burritos as I haven't tried anything else here. We got 3 breakfast burritos yesterday. Two chorizo and one sausage. They were HUGE and packed with great flavor. The drive thru was busy for a Sunday morning but the wait wasn't too ridiculous. If your craving a yummy breakfast burrito that isn't overly expensive, I recommend trying Los Betos.

Shredded beef tacos? I think not.
Kat D.

After several bad experiences at Los Betos recently, tonight was the last time we will be going back. We placed an order for 2 burritos ( 1 Idaho & 1 California) & 3 beef tacos. When my husband arrived home with our food I opened the box to find 3 ground beef tacos. They don't even have ground beef tacos on the menu. Also, they no longer fry the shells fresh to order, they appear to be premade. My husband went back to Los Betos to get the shredded beef tacos that we ordered and the guy at the window refused to replace them. My husband had the food and the receipt with him. The guy did not care. The employee made my husband pay a second time for the correct order! WTF?!?! Seriously? Los Betos really needs to undergo some changes. I'm over it.

Guys, we have a problem. Seriously. Betos, what the actual f***? This lazy, unbelievable performance masquerading as late-night cuisine made me so mad that I didn't even eat it - and I had just exercised for three hours, so I was ravenous and ready to nom. No. After three bites, I had to open up the burrito and witness the truth. From its entrails, I picked out every piece of dry meat and formed a pile: it was less than a spoonful. Sour cream in there, supposedly... do you see the evaporated white foam in the photo? Yeah. I don't even know HOW they did that... Guacamole was a thought but not reality. Somewhere in there was a wisp of green. That's it. This place will never have my business again. Even in a fugue state I could make a better burrito. My advice: do not waste your money.

And I'm also a bit of a salsa snob. We stopped in for happy hour for the first time and started with the FREE salsa -- which, apparently, isn't always a given in Boise. It was legitimately some of the best salsa I've ever had. Then we ordered the Grande Nachos with chicken. "Grande" is not false advertising. The portion was enormous, we got completely full, and never even made it to trying anything else. I can count on three fingers the places, out of MANY attempts, where I've found truly great nachos -- and these get the #1 finger. And no, that's not the middle finger. Highly recommend everything we've had so far. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu. So far: winner for sure.

THEIR HIBISCUS MARGARITA THO…read more.. 4.5 stars!! Seriously the best margarita I have had so far in Boise is this restaurant's hibiscus margarita. The flavor is amazing!! We came on a Saturday night and it was busy but not overly busy, which was nice. I started the evening with their regular house margarita, which was a bit too sour for my liking so our waitress suggested ordering a flavored margarita to add sweetness. I went out of the box and ordered their hibiscus margarita and WOW I'm coming back for more!! We were disappointed in their house salsa, but we did order a ceviche appetizer which was very fresh tasting. I really appreciated all the very fresh vegetables in the ceviche. My husband ordered the steak fajitas- amazing! I ordered the veggie enchiladas on flour tortillas- amazing! I appreciated how they have a side of carne asada that you can order. It was perfect for our young son who wanted steak. Our son also appreciated the Jarritos flavored sodas. Lastly, we were disappointed in the fried ice cream as it didn't have much flavor and the melted caramel it came with tasted like goat cheese. Prices were reasonable, service was good, and restaurant was nice and clean. Yes, I'll be coming back :)

A decent Selection of lunch menu offerings, I went with Chili Verde, pork in green sauce, eithucorn tortillas. We ordered chips and salsa, interesting because it's not complimentary as in so many Mexican places, is one hotter yellow sauce with pineapple, a typical medium sauce, and a mild, plus beans were ordered. The chips were gold, house made, the yellow sauce was definitely good, would probably be great on fish tacos, but the medium red was what I preferred with chips. Lunch arrived with the obligatory "hot plate" warning meaning it had bern in the oven. As always, I started by trying the rice and beans, v both were good enough I nearly finished them before even trying the Chili Verde. What was interesting here was I wanted to use the larger than average sized corn tortillas to get every bit of the verde sauce off the plate! Something, we were too busy talking to tell, was different. I don't ever remember wanting to sop all the sauce up with the tortillas before! Would I come back, yes, there is enough that looked interesting to return.

The menu has a few things you can order from burritos, tacos, tortas and other fun items. We ordered a Carne Asada Burrito and it has rice, beans, meat of choice & lettuce and avocado it was pretty good. We got some tacos as well and not sure if she mixed up another ordered but we were short 3 tacos on our order and that was a bummer.. I was really looking forward to them. Their asada, carnitas, el pastor were all really good and authentic flavor and loved that the pastor had the pineapple chunks as well. One thing I did dislike was I asked about chips order and it said $5 when I asked her if I can just have a couple, she was a bit confused and asked the lead there. Apparently they didn't have chips in their truck and had to go find them. That should have been my no thank you but I figured ohh let's give them a try. Once we got to our house and saw the $5 chips I was honestly a bit upset they were store bought nacho chips. Tacos are $2.50 I don't understand why chips are $5 and they aren't even like your traditional Mexican chips or something along those lines. That was my only downfall to this place but those are just chips. Their food was honestly good no doubt about it when we were ordering they had a few people eating there and a few to go orders. Maybe take them off the menu or make little baggies and purchase chips from a Mexican store or make your own tostadas..
