    Grad party attendees at the food truck

    We just celebrated our group of 6 Boise High graduates with a large party and hired Lucky Root Tacos. I speak for all of the parents when I say the service, food, selection, setup, and pricing were excellent! Everyone raved about the food, the line moved quickly, and the owners were friendly and welcoming from the moment the truck arrived until they were leaving several hours and 300 people later! I highly recommend them and I plan to hire them again.

    Lucky Root Lucky Root is a Meridian-based food truck owned by Sergio Larios and Cindy Channel. Chef Larios, who used to work at Copper Canyon restaurant in Nampa, uses French cooking techniques to master the perfect taco. Those techniques likely include sautéing, braising, sous vide and confit. I visited this hard to find food truck on October 12, 2020. The small menu had four items. I ordered one of each of the three taco and two jalapeño poppers: Sonora Asada taco ($3.50) - steak sautéed with onions, whole pinto beans, avocado salsa, red salsa and avocado Michoacán Pork Pork ($3.25) - smoked pulled pork taco, avocado salsa, red salsa and fresh chopped salsa Colima Chicken taco ($2.75) - smoked chicken, fresh chopped salsa and green salsa Jalapeño Poppers ($1.25 each) I liked each of the tacos, which were different than any I've had before. What stood out was the tenderness of the meat and the flavor combinations. I didn't care for the jalapeño poppers. Although they were handmade and wrapped with a nice piece of bacon, they were soft when biting into them. Most likely, this is because the food truck doesn't have a fryer on it. My recommendation is to do away with the jalapeño poppers or run them through an air fryer. The best way to locate this food truck is to check Payette Brewing Company's website's food truck schedule. Lucky Root was there on 12/21. They are on the schedule three more times in December 2020.

    The pulled pork is amazing! Chicken tacos weren't bad either. Can't wait to get more.

    This is absolutely outstanding food! The chicken and shredded beef are the best I have ever eaten.

    Best street tacos and great chips too. Generous portions and reasonably priced. We will definitely follow them.

    My husband and I have been coming here for a year. We came from San Diego which has the best…read moreMexican restaurants. We still have not found a Mexican restaurant in Boise that is even a 5/10. This is always the place we come back to for food, price, and service. This is our place. The Guacamole is fresh with chunks of avocado tasting freshly made as if we were in Cabo Mexico. They have the best prices for happy hour with a huge selection of affordable food. The employees are always helpful. As for the low score from Bill S. You should try it one more time. We had one night 5 months ago or so with an employee that we had never seen before. She messed up a lot not remembering things. I have never seen her again.

    I really liked the decor of this place. We got the 6 dip flight, and I got the surf and turf tacos…read more The dips were all really good. But we all were pleasantly surprised by the creamy jalapeno. Bean dip was okay. Queso was good. Salsa was solid. As for the tacos, thankfully this was post work at donner, as I don't know how to eat a taco without being messy. They were delicious but be careful if you wear white like I did. Service was okay. It wasn't that busy, so they didn't have that many servers, but getting the desserts to go was slow, and then the check after. Again, this was a post work dinner so no rush, but still. The tres leches was amazing though.

The service was amazing and all of the staff were so friendly and the atmosphere is lively without being "loud." The food was the best mexican food we have had here in Idaho yet (and we have tried a ton of place). The food is fresh and the flavors were incredible. I had the Taco, Enchilad and Chil Relleno and this is the one combo I have never seen elsewhere and it's my favorite. My husband had the Chimichangas which he said were the best he's ever had. Their salsas are amazing, we even bought the 16oz size to take home (I will never buy store-bought salsa again). We have found our new "favorite" mexican restaurant. The blended Margatita was a true Margarita and not just dispensed out of a slushy machine, sooo good. I could only give it a 4 Star because of one thing, no menudo, other than that, my hat's off to the chef. We will definitely be back.
