September 2026 This place has a few tables along the wall with plenty of space in between the 3 high tops in the middle of the restaurant right by the bar. It's Saturday night at 6:30 on the place is pretty empty. Our waitress is extremely nice and helpful. The menu seems to be a standard Mexican restaurant menu. The chips are served slightly warm, but very crispy. The salsa is delicious. Like more of a chipotle salsa with a bit of spice. I ordered one side chicken enchilada. It was a very large portion. It was covered in a red chili sauce. The chicken was extremely tender and flavorful. The tortilla was just wet dough. My husband ordered the chicken chimichanga. He said it was very good. Chicken is moist and flavorful and the tortilla was delicious and fresh to perfection. His chimichanga came with a generous helping of guacamole and sour cream. Also refried beans and rice. The pricing on the menu is below reasonable. It is extremely inexpensive. You get a large portion of food for a very low price. Food comes out right away. Not sure I'm a fan of that as I like the experience of dining. But for some, it may be a positive. My husband loved the food and the price. I thought the food was average. I would go back but not by first choice. I give this place a flat 4 stars. read more

Great service from server, music was pretty good and it was quiet not overly packed. Food was great and delicious. Price was ok and not sure what it is for everyone else. They charged an extra fer to make it a flavored margarita which was surprising, wish she would of said there would be by other than that everything was awesome. Good night and music. read more

Came here for their jazz night and ended up ordering dinner. It was a busy night, but service was pretty good. I ordered a glass of wine, and the wine was good, but the glass was dirty. My second glass of wine was much better. Staff would do well to check the wine glasses before they put anything in them. Their chips and salsa were generous, good, but nothing to write home about. I also ordered their shrimp Enchiladas with green sauce and that was the best thing of the evening. The green sauce was tasty without being overpoweringly spicy and the shrimp was cooked well and not overdone. Portion was generous in the rice and beans were tasty. The rest of my party all enjoyed their meals and so I would guess that any issues I may have had were a result of being busy and possibly slightly understaffed. Overall, this was a good experience, and I would definitely return! They have a great crowd for the jazz night, and I think it's fantastic that they are having this kind of entertainment in a small town. read more

Awesome food, service and ambience. Will go back again and again. Try the Flautas! They were great

The food was definitely great, lots of flavor. And they prepared them very well... most of the staff seemed really great as they were very friendly to everyone. Our waiter on the other hand was very hard to work with, ignored us most of the time. When we would order it felt like he wasn't listening and got our orders wrong. Even towards the end of the night we asked if they serve fried ice cream and he said yes walked away and brought two out. We were only wanting to share one. We will come again but look for someone else to wait us. read more

This was a fun new-try! We happened to be there on a first Tuesday when they have live Blues music. We didn't stay for the show, but watching the band set up and perform sound checks was fun. The food was great and our server was very friendly. Oh, and our drinking glasses were clean ;) read more

The shrimp enchiladas are bomb! Our first time here and I went out on a whim, never ordered shrimp enchiladas before, but I like shrimp tacos so I went for it. So good! My husband got the enchiladas suizas and loved them. We also got the queso dip. It was different than I was expecting, but tasty! Walking away very satisfied! Our server was amazing too! All around great experience. We were there near closing and it didn't feel like they were kicking us out. read more

I often dance with Mexican food and Pachangas has the rhythm down pat! We walzed right in and were seated immediately at a table we requested. Often when we specify a particular table... for comfort, street view, or request to be further from the restroom door, the hostess will struggle to accommodate but not here because the hostess was the owner. This place has that "hole in the wall" feeling and none of the corporate cookie cutter blandness. Their vibe is nice and the staff are great. The waiter was extremely competent and pleasant. It's located downtown in walking distance of the hotel, the river front and the famous Idaho Falls. Their salsa is made from roasted peppers and it's just ideal. Not too hot and the perfect consistency. I got the Burrito and the wife got Fundido. The portions are great, the sides of beans and rice were delicious, but the star of the show was their Honey Mustard Salsa! It's the most unique tasting side dish I can ever remember. It went with their chips perfectly and I even dipped my burrito in it. I recommend you Tango with Pachangas when you're in Idaho Falls. read more

Hands down, best Mexican food I've had in years. Atmosphere is cool and service was great!

We ordered to go, food was very salty. Don't know about the service or ambiance. Having lived in Mexico, the food we ordered was not near as good. Would not recommend. read more

Always great food and great service. If you want authentic Mexican food this is the best place in Idaho Falls!

Really enjoyed what I ordered here :) the salad had really good flavor and I definitely recommend it. Also the agua the Horchata was great! Hope you guys check this place out. read more

Decided to try this place during our road trip. It was an excellent choice. The atmosphere is energetic and upbeat. The service is good and the staff were friendly. We went there for dinner two nights in a row during our visit to Idaho Falls. The food is really delicious. You can tell that there is a lot of thought and flavor that goes into their homemade style dishes. I highly recommend this place! read more

Big fan-the food is generally consistant and service is reasonably pleasant. Cocktails are hit and miss-the last time I was there I had two skinny margaritas. The first was what I was expecting, the second was lukewarm salty tequila. The server never came back to check after delivering it, so I just drank it. What can I say? I'm a lush. Best to stick with shots and beer here. read more

Nice atmosphere, open, colorful, but that's the end of things. Food is not interesting nor tasty, there are no condiments offered, no salt, pepper nothing on the table. Ask and you shall receive, Tapatío. Menus look like they have been through a shredder. The waitress is nice but don't go if you want good food. read more

Their pollo fundido is so good! It's my favorite thing on the menu. I usually won't eat fish tacos, but they make delicious fish tacos here.

My mother-in-law raves about this place. I have visited twice now and both times the outcome has been the same. Service is lackluster, it's a noisy environment, and the food is subpar when compared to the multitude of other Mexican eateries in IF. From their tortilla chips to their rice and beans to their meat there is one common theme: blandness. The food is not inedible but while you're eating it there is no fiesta en la boca which is common when using traditional Mexican flavors. Those flavors must have not been invited to the fiesta at this establishment. Lastly, their taco game is weak. They don't serve carnitas, al pastor, chorizo, pibil, tinga, nor any other traditional meat preparation except carne asada. Won't be returning. read more

Wow, great food. Top shelf margarita was killer!!! Wife loved Chile verde burro was great, real taste of Mexico , she would know. 5 star stop. You will NOT be sorry on this one!!! read more

Not your average Mexican restaurant. So much better. If you have a hankering for Mexican, I recommend Pachanags. I've had many fish tacos. These were the best I've had. Had a tangy guacamole on top. Husband had lobster enchiladas. Sweet and delicious. The burrito was as big as the plate. Very cheesy, beefy and saucy. The tamales were fantastic. Came with shredded beef on the inside with chunks of beef on top. We wanted to eat everything because it was so delicious but had to take some home because of the large portions. I will come here again next time I'm in town. read more

The first time that I went there for lunch, I was not impressed with it. I didn't like the taste of the salsa or the chimi. The waitress that was serving us, seemed like we were a bother. The second time that I went, it was because it's my boss' fav place to eat. I wasn't looking forward to it. But I was really impressed with the meal. It was a nice improvement from my first experience. read more

I was actually impressed. For the price it was great quality and they prepared their food with care. I appreciate the heart. It's not crazy high quality food but it was pretty good! I would go back. They have really good chips and salsa and also their Dr.Pepper on tap was killer haha. We got alot of different plates and tried alot. The main takeaway here is that the food has flavor and it was all distinct. Go with confidence. We got the Pollo about LA crema, Chipotle kitchen, carne asada, burro, tamales (these werent that good) and some other chicken dishes. read more

I love Pachangas. My favorite thing to eat is the Lobster Enchilada. I just met a client for lunch and they wouldn't let me pay. I'm not sure what happened but I asked the waitress for a Lobster Enchilada and blue cheese on my salad. What I received was a shrimp enchilada and ranch dressing on the salad. I didn't want to make a fuss having lunch with a client so I just ate it. I like shrimp but I wasn't a fan of the shrimp enchilada. Too much Cilantro for me. read more

This is literally the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life. Me and my husband ordered the guacamole, a tamale, the Carne Asada and chili Verde. I can't remember our waiters name * he had a blonde Mohawk* but he went above and beyond for us. The ambiance is just a chill regular vibe nothing fancy :) the portion sizes may not be that big, but the quality more than makes up for it. Also the salsa is soooo good! This is the first time I've ever written a review on yelp and I'm 23. read more

Amazing food & excellent service. Anything you get on the menu is so good. One of my favorites is the lobster enchiladas. Large portions so my husband and I share unless we want leftovers for another night. It is my favorite restaurant in Idaho falls. read more

This is some of the best Mexican food in Idaho Falls. Justin's special is fantastic because they serve up three of the best things that they make all on one plate: Pollo Fundido, a Lobster Enchilada, and a fish taco... its fantastic! The food and servers have been great on every visit - every. single. time. read more

Passing through Idaho Falls and a hankering for Mexican food led us to Pachangas. The reviews here were really high so we stopped in. We were quickly seated and delivered chips and salsa. It is not your everyday red tomato salsa. The menu is large and we ended up ordering a taquito plate and a combo platter. I asked to swap out the red sauce on the enchilada combo platter and was told it would be 99 cents PER ENCHILADA so on we went with the red sauce. The taquitos were ordered in place of hardshell tacos, which they do not serve. The food came out quickly. The shredded beef taquitos were very good. The enchiladas were good, but the red sauce is fairly bitter and not pleasant to my palette. The beans and rice were run-of-the-mill and nothing spectacular. There were many items on the menu aside from the standard tacos, burritos, and enchiladas which makes the place stand out. We will probably give it another shot when back in the area. read more

Overpriced 6 tacos and some jarritos has you over 30 buck a taco is like a hot dog it should be the cheapest thing in the menu didn't even give me hit sauce for the tacos they were dry and greasy read more

I wish i had taken pictures, because the food, from the appetizer to the meal were picture worthy. We split the munchie platter, then i ordered the Chipotle Chicken, amd my buddy ordered the Tamales Rancheros. The food was awesome, it's hard to find nad mexican food, but this is a local place, that is hands down right up there with some of the best I have had in a long time. Get out and enjoy local places, the service here was fast, the food, again is fantastic, and the atmosphere can't be beat. read more

Portion sizes were great, food was hot. We went early in the day and so there wasn't a lot of people and there were only two servers that I could see. They were very helpful when I told them of my food allergies and helped me choose something that would be safe for me to eat. We took our two kids and while the kids menu isn't very large they have foods that most kids will eat. They also brought the kids food out when it was ready so the kids would have something to eat instead of having to wait until our order was completely ready which we appreciated! read more

Great food and great service. As good as the food was, I was most blown away by the michellada. It's surprising how hard it can be to find a place that makes a good michellada! The table salsa was also excellent. read more

Sadly it was a horrible experience. I have heard great things. We ordered a to go order. We ordered a tostada and a burrito. I asked On the phone the tostado comes with beans correct? She said yes of course. Nope no beans or forks to eat with. And we were eating in the car. The tostado was horrible. And the burrito mediocre at best. read more

It wasn't bad, just not a lot of spice or flavor. Definitely get the grilled jalapeños to cut up to go on everything! The tacos were decent....probably won't go back but the bartender makes some great drinks! read more

Ordered delivery via Grub Hub on Friday around 7 PM. Ordered on line. Tried to call the restaurant 16 times over a one hour plus time period. Nothing but a busy signal. Phone taken off the hook? It would've been nice to get sent on to another restaurant if that's what they had preferred. Food delivery was accurate. Driver arrived and said we were lucky because they were ready to close. The food looked like it was hastily thrown (literally) into its containers. The chile rellenos used to be quite good. These were below mediocre to put it nicely. The taquitos would have required dental records to identify them in an official investigation. Ridiculous. The carne asada was okay and the tacos were passable. Frankly, for about $70 for the whole deal including delivery, this experience was extremely underwhelming. Used to be our favorite Mexican restaurant but sad to say, that is no longer the case. One star would have defined the food but the extra star was for the Grub Hub efficiency. read more

Great food and friendly staff. It ended up being cheaper than I expected too based on all the drinks and appetizers we bought.

I had lunch here when snakebite was closed and I did not want Mexican. At all. Yet I enjoyed every part of my meal. Service was excellent, atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was by far the best Mexican food I've had in idaho. I would say, for some reason, they wrap their tacos in wax paper and it's ruining their presentation and experience. I had chimichanga which was not in wax paper probably due to the frites tortilla but my partner had taco and basically had to scrape it off wax paper with a fork to eat it. That's not how you eat a taco. Even a soft one. So that's my constructive criticism. And maybe that's saying something that that's all I can say but it's one method I believe they should rethink. Everything else was great. read more

I have to admit that this wasn't the experience we were expecting after reading the reviews. Yes, the food was good, but the menu seemed to be lacking to me. My wife actually ended up ordering something that was not even ON the menu, and only becuase the waitress had mentioned it after my wife asked for a spicier dish. They didn't have a liquor license when we visited, so the margaritas were a premixed design. I'm kinda a snob for 'ritas', so I opted for a beer. There is plenty of seating here, though when we first walked in it seemed to have more a fast food appeal than a regular restaurant. Our waitress was very friendly and the service was very speedy. read more
