Oh this place is wonderful! I got the chorizo breakfast burrito and hubby got the carne asada quesadilla with beans and rice. First off, the chips and salsa were really good. The green salsa was fabulous with so much flavor and the red salsa had a fabulous bite to it. Then our entrees arrived and my mouth has been sooooo Happy ever since. Excellent place that I highly recommend. read more

Absolutely terrible service and the food wasn't much better! Ordered a bunch of food for my family for dinner and paid for delivery because our car was in the shop. They shorted us on several items that were meals for my family. When we called about the missing food they couldn't have cared less since they already had our money. They refused to bring the missing food we paid for and hung up on us. Total assholes!!!! read more

We just finished our take out meal from Los Pinos. It was terrible. Everything was cold and greasy like it was made the day before perhaps. My order was not ready even though I ordered it two hours early. I had to show them on my phone the order. While I waited for my order, I noticed it was not as clean as the last time I was there. When the waitress brought it out she said, "Here." No apology at all and no goodbye. read more

We travel in an RV and after a long day decided to eat out. Looked on line at most all of the restaurants in Mountain Home. We chose Los Pino Mexican restaurant. When we entered there was only one customer. There was also only one young man cooking, serving an busing tables. It took some time for him to take our order and even longer to be served. However, it didnt matter. The food was as good as or better than any we have had in the past 3 years. Smothered Pork Burrito was excellent. It was all well worth waiting for. We will go out of our way to eat there again. The young man was doing the best he could. Thank you Las Pino for one of the best meals we have ever had on the road. read more

I love this place. The building is cute and the food is pretty good. I don't expect iron chef made food in Mountain Home but this place hits the Mexican food spot. Been here plenty of times and will continue to go. read more

Los Pinos Restaurant - Chicken enchiladas. Some bean spillage but who cares! - Mexican Near Me - Mountain Home, Idaho

Went at lunch for first time with my wife - there was only two other people in the place - ordered their supreme nachos (heard they were good ) after our order it took 15 minutes to get our drink - waited 50 minutes and still no nachos so went to the counter and asked for it to go (we were both on lunch break ) - another 15 minutes and we finnaly got them - my wife opened it up while we were driving back to work and they were soggy like they were tan used water or were hot and sat in closed container for length of time...my best advice would be to just drive on by ...wasn't like they were short staffed either ‍ read more

Food was good, only thing about it was service was ehh, food took about an hour to get out for 4 people not big orders, tortillas were cold. Would go back if I got my good faster and it wasn't cold read more

We were super happy with our burritos and tacos (and we're Mexican food snobs from Southern CA) Breakfast burrito was great, chicken burrito was moist and crispy, street tacos were yummy. The hot sauces had good heat with flavor. We will definitely be coming back. Service was good, prices were affordable; so wish the burritos were bigger read more

There have been many times we've gone here and our food was great but the kids menu food items have always been unacceptable to say the least. Two times we've gotten chicken nuggets undercooked and mini corn dogs burnt to a crisp. Well tonight we got our daughter chicken nuggets and fries. She is now very sick and throwing up all night. We will probably never eat here again. You would think a little more care would go into children's food. read more

Very nice people but food not so nice. Meat in food over cooked. Salsa not what you expect real runny and salty There guacamole was fresh and was the best part of the dinner. read more

My 3rd time here, first was great, good service and good meal. 2nd time was just ok, different staff and meal was ok. 3rd time was horrible. Waitress seemed like we were interrupting her cleaning. Handed me an unwrapped straw with her bare hands after she was mopping. Asked what kind of meat my husband wanted in his burrito literally 4 times. Asked me what kind of meat I wanted in my chili relleno !!!??? She clearly did not know Mexican food. I ordered Al la cart relleno with a side of beans. She asked if I wanted the 1.50 side or a quart of beans??!! Really!!? I'm dining in, what would I do with a quart of beans??? She gave me the dinner plate with 2 rellenos, beans and rice AND was charged for a side of beans I never received. Rice was so hard old and crunchy. Hubby got charged for sour cream he never received. Was the most expensive quick small meal I've ordered. Probably won't be going back anytime soon. Ugh read more

Stopped at Los Pinos Restaurant for lunch. The Location is right off a main road and the service is awesome. The tacos I had were delicious however I tasted a slight burn of the beans. Tasty green sauce and chips! Enjoy! read more

I dream about this place. I lived in mountain home about three years ago and I swear I would eat here weekly. Who would've thought that the best Mexican food I've ever had would be in a small town in Idaho. Their hot salsa is so good I could just drink it. I would always order their smothered beef burrito and it got better every single time. Chips were PERFECT. Rice was PERFECT. Their beans were to die for. I miss this place more than anything and I wish they would deliver all the way to Kansas. I would drive 22 hours just for this food. read more

My favorite Mexican spot in town! I've had the enchiladas and fajitas and loved all of them!

Took about 10 minutes after sitting down for our server to finally come take our order and give our group of 12 only 3 small baskets of chips (which were kind of stale) with 6 little bowls of salsa and 3 little bowls of cheesy beans. The green salsa was the best, the red was spicy and lacking flavor and the cheesey beans were great. I ordered the smothered burrito and it was about a 4 star on taste and 3 star on size. I also order the horchata but it was brown colored instead of the creamy white which threw me off a bit. Then I tasted it and it was a 2 star on taste at best. I've had authentic horchata in Mexico and this was not it on flavor, texture or look. We waited around another 15 minutes after finishing our food having never received our check so I went up and rang the bell to get our server to check us out and settle payment. Would not recommend this place in it's current status but they can learn and improve as I hope they do. read more

We ordered 2 chancla burritos, 1 with sour cream one with sour cream on the side, we got the side but the other burrito didnt get any! I also asked for onions which they said would be extra I said ok! No onions anywhere! When I went to pick up my order I asked for a couple little containers of green sauce they said its .75 cents, keep in mind my order came to $35.00 ! I asked since my order was so much could I have them for free? They said sorry but no! Are you kidding me? You will loose business over .75 cents! Hmmm ok there's plenty of other taco stands around with much much better food! Food was ok but not the quality you would expect for the cost! Beware before ya eat here they will nickle and dime you! read more

I personally Love eating food from here. I've Never had a problem with service or food and order from them 2-3 times a week usually, especially with the "Virus Scare". They've kept me fed. My favorites are the Steak Fajitas and Stuffed Burrito, but even astheir American dishes are good. Only thing I don't like is their hamburgers use to be 100% beef and now it's obvious they're pre-made store bought that aren't pure beef. The family that runs it is very friendly and hard working. read more

It was fast, fresh, and tasty. Server was pleasant as well. I had the 3 amigos with shredded beef. read more

Los Pinos Restaurant - 3 Amigos with shredded beef. - Mexican Near Me - Mountain Home, Idaho

Menudo is gross tastes like mountain home water , Carne asada is hard that the knife can't even cut

Los Pinos is a family owned business, they're very friendly, and the food is good. I usually get the Three Amigos taco plate with shredded beef, or the tamales with horchata. read more

Visiting Mountain and craving Good Mexican food. Nice little place with good homemade food. The red sauce was a little spicy and full of flavor, the chili relleno was one of the best I've had read more

I recommend going to this restaurant and also recommend asking for Emelia for a waitress, she has almost perfect memory and patience even when we could not figure out our orders! The food is excellent and flavorfu! Make sure to leave a tip for the beautiful waitress!! read more

The food deserves 4 stars, three stars for service. It was a little lacking. The first impression of the restaurant is a little iffy, but after going in we felt really welcome and comfortable. Red salsa is very spicy! Green salsa has amazing flavor. We ordered a half order of supreme nachos.l, it was huge, and it was made with canned cheese sauce, not so great. I ordered the smothered burrito with green sauce. Very delicious shredded beef moist and flavorful. My husband had the shredded beef chimichanga he loved it! Their beans are AMAZING. overall good experience. I would go back. read more

As traveling down to Mountain Home from Boise, there was traffic both directions. It was over 1 1/2 hours of stop and go. This is not a norm for Idaho. There was not any plans stopping for dinner, but the best way to kill time is to eat. I did not want to be stuck in the traffic on the way back to Boise. The family went with the majority choice, and that was Mexican. So I "yelped" Mexican Food. I ignored any chain restaurants. Los Pinos caught my eye. When we parked the car, the place looked questionable. I promise you, take the risk. This place is awesome. The handmade chips are crispy and not salty. The red salsa has a nice heat and smokiness to it. The refried beans are creamy and not watered down. The green salsa (salsa verde) has a fresh and cooling taste and the perfect amount of seasoning. Their chorizo has a great texture and a perfect spiciness to it. I had the shredded beef smothered burrito. The flour tortilla was soft and the shredded beef was juicy and tender. The iceberg lettuce was cold and gave a nice crunch to the burrito. The spice in the red sauce was a perfect balance of flavor and spice. The shredded beef is slow roasted to perfection in its juices. The reason that I did not give Los Pinos five stars is because their fish tacos come with a red sauce. I prefer white sauces. read more

I have never dined in at this restaurant, so I can't comment on the wait service. However, in my opinion, they have the best Mexican food in Mountain Home. Coming from California with wonderful Mexican food, this place has the most "California-like" food out of the few Mexican restaurants in town. The super burritos are great, and definitely worth it for a to-go order! read more

Delicious food, great service! We stopped here on our way to Boise and were pleasantly surprised. If we're ever in Mountain Home again, we will definitely go back read more

Good Mexican food in Mountain Home. I ordered the Adobada Torta with a Michelada. Chips were never very and warm when served. Service was a little slow but staff was friendly. Would recommend this small place if in the area. read more

This place is one of our favorites, we live in the area and eat here often. The food is good authentic Mexican, the three amigos with choice of meats is a great plate! The wait staff is always friendly and will help guide you if you want to try different dishes! Quick service with a smile! read more

I always go here when I need my Mexican food fix. Always fresh and they make your food as you order. Not the best ever but not bad. To me I think it beats all the other Mexican restaurants in town. read more

Go ahead and ask them what kind of meat is in the taco salad. It's not beef that is for sure and when we asked they refused to tell us. It's gross. All they would say to us is they make their own meat. Not okay. read more

So it was absolutely a terrible night there tonight. A table that arrived after us received their drink order and drinks before us. After we finally had our order taken my girlfriend ordered double rice no beans. Her order came with beans and rice. Her dinner was also so salty it was not edible. When we complained to our server she responded with "Oh Sorry and walked away". I also ordered a dinner to go with double beans no rice. When we opened it up at home it had beans and rice. When we were checking out we mentioned the salty dinner and the beans and rice to the cashier. He also responded with "Oh Sorry". After eating here for years we will not go back. read more

A decent, small restaurant that serves typical Mexican American food. Like most places their menu was missing lighter fare. They only provide one refill on drinks which are so packed with ice as to make them a slushy. Save yourself the money and just get water instead of a soda. read more

We have tried all the Mexican places in Mt Home, and this is by far the best. I had the smothered burrito and husband had carne asada tacos. So good! read more

This has got to be the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten in my life. 21.95 on the nastiest tasting so called Mexican food? Give me a break!!!!! read more

Stopped here on our way to Sun Valley. We had an amazing meal and will now be an annual stop. The guacamole was fresh, salsas were so good. The smothered burrito was a favorite. Family run and a must stop. read more

This place is always recommended .... I tell people to go somewhere else in town. The salsa is basically not edible it's so hot you can't taste anything ... the food made me sick here . If you like your Mexican food from a can this is the place . read more

Fantastic people , great food, very friendly environment, cooked fresh. Very happy with everything. They were very helpful and understanding of our allergies and needs. read more

Let me start by saying that I would give this zero stars if I could! Worst dining experience!!! The food was actually very good, but the service and outcome of our experience ruined the entire thing for me. My family and I ate here because I had purchased a certificate on restaurant.com. I purchased this because it was the only restaurant in Mountain Home that was a valid participating one in this town. This was a bonus for us because we don't always want to drive to Boise to eat out. After eating, my husband gave the waitress, Danielle our certificate. Before she even glanced at it for a few seconds she so rudely stated, "We don't accept those." What do you mean you don't accept them? The certificate clear as day states that it is valid at Los Pinos Restaurant, 815 S 3rd W, Mountain Home, ID 83647. We were told by this rude waitress and Ines, an owner who doesn't know how to run a business, that they have no idea how the restaurant got on that site and they've been "trying" to get it taken down. I asked them if either of them have called the phone number for restaurant.com and spoken with someone. Here's the kicker: NO THEY HAD NOT! They also stated that I wasn't the first to come in with one of these certificates. So they supposedly have been trying to get this restaurant taken down for over a year, but have not actually talked to anyone to do so. This whole thing was outrageous. The staff's behavior was ridiculous. If a customer comes into your place of business with a certificate that has your business name on it then you should honor it. Their attitude was extremely poor and I hope they do something to clear this up in the future. I suggested for them to put a sign on their door stating that restaurant.com certificates would not be accepted even if they're valid and the response I got back was, "Well we used to have one on the counter." Okay, but clearly that hasn't helped. First, the sign isn't there anymore and second, you're still having this problem so DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT! The owner went on to tell me that she works 14 hours a day and the meat is so expensive. Great, but that doesn't do anything to help your business. If you're going to run a business, you need to learn to serve your customers. If someone went into a store with a gift certificate and then was told they couldn't use it, I guarantee that would cause problems. Well this is the same concept. If this problem has been ongoing for over a year, the owner is clearly not trying hard enough to get it taken care of. And then telling me that I just wasted my money on the certificate because she refused to authorize it was icing on the cake, really. Horrible, horrible service. The owner and staff are a complete joke. I would not be surprised if this eventually went out of business. The only reason I could see it staying afloat is because Mountain Home is a hole that doesn't really have a lot else to offer. I would give this place zero stars if I could. read more

Excellent, fresh, home cooked food. Don't judge by cover. Looks questionable driving by. Worth driving to. Family run. Excellent guacamole, chile rellenos, tacos. read more

The food was OK. I mean it tasted fine but I know myself and my friends and family could have made it. Not very authentic. And we went when there was nobody there accept a young server and a cook. What was off putting was the service. The server seemed like if she put her cell phone down for a second, she might suffer a mental crisis. She never put her phone down. Several times we had to ask her for refills, condiments, ect because she never once came and asked us if we were fine or needed anything....her phone was more important than her job. read more
