STILL AMAZING!! EVERY SINGLE TIME! This time we got a drink before being seated and Robi made a DELICIOUS Paper Plane cocktail! She is great! We ALWAYS get the pork belly (SOOO GOOD) and this time I tried the Chicken Fried Steak. That was really good! My go-to is the Brisket Burrito, but that Chicken Fried steak was good. The seasoning and sauce is not your typical "breakfast" style. It's got a Mexican twist to it which is great! Dessert never disappoints! Neither does the atmosphere and the people! (thanks Robi!) Yes it's a smaller place, but SOOO worth it! TIP: Use the "wait list" option for Nadine's in Yelp! read more

Yeah we tried this place out, based off reviews and looking for property in the area. Since we are from LA, we are bringing with us lots of family and will need lots of land and more. Food was very good. Service was great. We will be back again for sure. If we get land in the area of course this will be a staple each week. Prices in Idaho are so cheap! We love it. read more

Worth the over an hour wait on Mother's Day!! The food is so satiating!! I was a bit cold sitting below the a/c!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

We frequent this place about 3 times per month. All the food is fabulous and consistently tasty! The food isn't traditional Mexican, but all dishes are deeply flavorful and well prepared EVERY SINGLE TIME we go! Can't recommend this place enough! It's our favorite restaurant in the greater area! read more

Food is consistently excellent with a southwestern take on some traditional Mexican dishes. One of our favorites.

Food was INCREDIBLE, staff was even better, and it was cozy and quaint. We will be back. De-lisssshhhh!

This little neighborhood restaurant is the definition of a mom-and-pop establishment. It is located directly in the middle of a neighborhood on the corner, depending on which way the directions take you it doesn't even look like a restaurant from the side. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the storefront before I left. ( My bad!) First things first, the dining room is not very big and parking is limited so get here early or there might be a wait. You won't go hungry while they are making your delicious food because each table gets complimentary chips and salsa! Our server was super sweet and made great recommendations as we looked over their BIG menu, thus the photos attached to this review. We started with the Pork belly skewers which were next-level delicious! I don't think I have ever had pork belly melt in my mouth like an M&M. The bed of slaw with the vinegar dressing was a perfect pairing. Shortly after our food arrived and it didn't disappoint! The ribeye was tender, exploding with flavor, and super juicy but not sloppy, the tortilla was homemade and held every bit of meat, and the chimichurri until it was able to be eaten. The refried beans were creamy, full of flavor, and perfectly seasoned. My date had the fish tacos which were also "Amazing!" ( her words) they came on a bed of mango coleslaw and a chipotle aioli that was not needed because the dish was perfect without it. All that to say, go and eat there! The staff are nice, the servers are attentive, the food is great and you will be supporting a small business. read more

The taquitos and guacamole never disappoint and my husband said the Shepard pie is the best he has ever had.

NADINE'S IS THE BEST!!! My husband, Randy and I moved to Rathdrum from Post Falls 2 months ago and we've been to Nadine's at last 8x The wait is definitely worth it! The staff is SO Amazing and family friendly!! Love You, Nadine's!!! Tori Nelson read more

The food is amazing! Always consistently good. Lots of different options. It gets busy really quickly but worth the wait!

AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!!! They are always packed but it's worth the wait!! Especially love sitting outside when it's warm!

The relleno! Are you kidding me?! That skillet was legit. It turned into leftovers for a whole day and a half. So worth the price. Finally a legit Mexican place nearby. Place is small so you got to expect to be in and out cause it's a wait. People need their Nadine's, yum! read more

I've decided to update reviews if it has been awhile I've been to the restaurant and/or if my original rating has gone up or down Today was excellent as always. Great food, great service and a must come back whenever I can. One of my top 5 Mexican restaurants in the NW! read more

Nadine's Mexican Kitchen - Brisket Chimichanga. Wow! - Mexican Near Me - Rathdrum, Idaho

First, I want to say we love Nadine's. We wanted to get something we could share as neither of us were overly hungry. We landed on the nachos and added brisket. The brisket is AMAZING! The nachos, they're a little meh to be honest. Only the top layer of chips had toppings, most of the bottom chips were plain. If it wasn't for the brisket they would've been a huge disappointment. Based on all the amazing dishes they make, I'd expect a little more. My daughter got the kids taquitos, she loved them. Still would totally recommend Nadine's, maybe just know going into it that the nachos are pretty average. read more

The service was prompt, attentive and super friendly. The smoked brisket burrito was such a wonderful dish. I was surprised but the smoky taste of the brisket with the slight heat of the jalapeño played well together. Will order this again!! read more

Great food. A little wait but worth it. Good service. Super nice people working there. Obviously love their jobs. Clean but not fancy. That's ok. This is Idaho. We're not fancy. But we love good food. read more

What an amazing referral for whomever told us about Nadine's! Sorry that we can't remember. We just had some wonderful food. Smoked brisket chimichanga, smoked brisket burrito and the trio salsa. They were all delicious! We even asked for a spicier salsa and our server brought us a mango habanero salsa that was not hot but had such good flavor. Nadine's also has a full bar.... Very good fresh margarita and something called a jalapeño bourbon splash/smash that is fantastic. My family and I will certainly be coming back to this great little place. Thanks for the amazing service and food. read more

Excellent food, excellent service! We have been eating here for years and have yet to be disappointed.

The chicken bowl was very good, it has a mild spice if you add the salsas to it. I recommend them if you are not sensitive to spice. The salad was also good but we recommend adding a protein to it. The bean and cheese dip was really good and is a must if you like beans and chips. The service was great our server was very helpful with food selection and was good at having refills ready when our glasses were empty. We recommend sitting outside and enjoying the weather if it is nice out! read more

I came to Rathdrum hoping to find witches. Unfortunately, no one knew what the hell I was talking about and I didn't meet any. Fortunately, I did go to Nadine's per the suggestion of Sam at Lola's Wine Bar in CDA. What a gem. Damn are those pork belly pineapple skewers good! Worth a trip. The chicken tortilla soup is great too. Service was warm and professional. Nice interior. Go Rathdrum and go Nadine's! read more

Excellent food and lots of it. I had the brisket chimichanga and it was delicious. My friends had the brisket burrito and the stacked enchiladas. Both commented that their food was very delicious. All three of us had leftovers to take home. Our server, Gena, was friendly and gave us 5 star service! The place was nice inside and is very popular with the locals as well as non locals. Highly recommend stopping in as this place will not disappoint you. read more

I told my husband on our way back home through Rathdrum that I heated great things about Nadine's, so let's try it. We have no idea how the food was because we never got in. We were told 30 minute wait at 3:30pm. An hour later, we are still waiting and they took several groups in ahead of us with no explanation. After another 15 minutes, we left. They took our phone number to notify us, but that never happened either. I have heard wonderful things about their food. Guess we will never know as my husband said he will not go back for a second try. read more

I'm m not sure myself what people are enjoying so much about these over-priced, under-seasoned, over-filled burritos. Service isn't particularly good either, felt a bit un-welcome and a burden, hard to describe exactly as it was a feeling. Looks good, but tastes poor. read more

So good! Welcoming environment (small setting with a quick turn) and food is so so good. Flavorful, a combination of tastes that wake up the tastebuds (pork and roasted pineapple!) and a good, clean margarita to top it off! We'll be back (tomorrow if we could)! That good! read more

Wouldn't say North Idaho is known for its cuisine but Nadine's is one place we will miss. Great food, service, and drinks. They are accommodating to dairy allergies too. Usually crowded w limited seating, so be prepared to wait. Check the wait times before heading there. read more

We have been here a few times and it is always been enjoyable. Good food and fair prices.

Service sucks, seating and space in general sucks and food is severely overrated. People who love it apparently never had good Mexican food.

Small place, get ready to wait, but well worth the wait. They need a bigger establishment, but unfortunately, that usually sky rockets the price . I only have it four instead of 5 due to wait time usually and that you feel on top of people , or in their bubble while eating at times. read more

Wow! What can I say except EAT HERE! Small, cozy atmosphere, interesting menu with a great cocktail menu. Everything we ordered was spot on- we especially loved the calamari & jalapeños, spicy margaritas, and pork belly tacos! Service was excellent- treated like family. Can't wait to return! read more

Great tasting food and customer service. One suggestion, you guys should find/ there are other more effective way to clean tables. Going to the same bucket of water is not really cleaning the tables. Great job guys! read more

The wait is typically long but we do love their brisket. Hopefully they will eventually be seed oil free.

The food was delicious. Unfortunately , I have to say the service was slow and the server forgot about our table multiple times. However, because it was a busy night, I plan to try again. The food really was that good! Also, it had a very relaxed atmosphere and would be a great date night location. read more

I have eaten at Nadine's at least 50 times and every time it is consistently good fresh and perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend the pork belly appetizer, the calamari and the burritos. The chopped salad is also high on my list. Nadine's is not your typical Mexican food restaurant and their recipes are unique and delicious. Don't miss out. read more
