Not much standing or waiting room and the dining area is very small, so there were no seats. It took 15 minutes to order and another 15 to get me food. So not a quick lunch. Of course, have to start off with the street tacos. For $3.75 a pop, I was hoping for a little better to be honest. Al pastor and Carne Asada meats were both tough and chewy. The best one was the marinated chicken. Good, but not great. There are some other items I might try to round out a fuller opinion, but street tacos are my baseline for assessing how they manage the fundamentals.

We like to come here for lunch and then get some meat from the grocery side to grill at home. It's amazing.

Definitely worth a stop! Everything was very good. It looked like anyone in Boise who was from…read moreanywhere south of the border was eating there. Always a great sign. The Pozole was outstanding! It's counter service and they deliver the food once's it's ready. Lots of long family style tables. The salsa bar was above average with five different salsas to choose from. YUM!

Been going to Tacos El Rey chains since I was a little kid and nothing has changed. Quality is…read morealways delicious. I've recommended so many people to try them out. I always get an Horchata and Tacos de Res (beef). Everything on them includes cilantro and onion. Wait is around 10-15 minutes on average and seating for this specific location is small (2-3 outdoor tables) and is in-front of a Smoking/Tobacco shop. Theres shade available but not a problem for me as I do takeout. Prices are always reasonable, I'm fluent in Spanish and have only ever ordered in Spanish, I know for sure the staff does have at-least someone with good English working. I've been to so many different locations and this one happens to be both close to my work/home. I've treated myself to here very often and will continue to in the future.

My philosophy with food trucks is to start with the street tacos and see how do without hiding…read morebehind a bunch of rice and beans. My first time here, I tried the barbacoa, asada, and al pastor. They were... just okay. The barbacoa was incredibly dry, and the other tacos had a very unremarkable flavor on first bite. Salsa was definitely required to give it some kind of oomph. Should have checked because they only gave me one tiny lime wedge for 3 tacos. meh I might give it another try for fish, adobada, and cabeza or lengua. Not everyone makes everything great. I'll let you know what I find out. It covered outside seating is pretty decent, but it is in a parking lot abutted against a busy intersection. So the ambiance can be kind of meh, which is probably why so many people took theirs to go. They have buzzers you keep with you, so you know when your food is ready.

First time at Lorena's and it certainly will not be the last!…read more Food: 5/5. Delicious! We tried a few tacos, grilled hot dog, esquites, horchata, and churros. Each of the tacos was absolutely amazing! The green sauce is really good and not too spicy. The esquites was a little different than I'm used to and was a little more soupy, but also delicious! Horchata is horchata (one of my favorite drinks). Something I really need to talk about are the churros. I consider myself a churro connoisseur at this point, having had hundreds at sporting events, Disneyland, and other festivities. These churros were some of THE BEST CHURROS I have ever had! Service: 5/5. Lorena was very nice and had our order out relatively quickly for all the food we ordered! Great service! Atmosphere: 4/5. The location is interesting and tucked back away from the road. Can be hard to find. The tented area is a great place to sit and you kind of forget you are in a parking lot along a busy road. A good amount of seating. Kid-friendly: 5/5. Great to go or to eat there with kiddos. My 2 year old loves beans and rice and there are plenty of food options for kids.

Lorenas as was a mixed bag for me for a very specific reason…read more First, I have lived less than a half mile away, saw it was here on the map, but for the life of me, couldn't picture where it was. Address in the GPS, pulling up, it was a "Oh crap, how have I never noticed this?" Easy, its sort of behind Jacks, on the back end of the car dealers overflow lot! You, like I, will wonder if they take cards or if it's cash only, they definitely take cards. The means variety is on par with my favorite little taco shops. I chose the #1 Special with one each chicken, carnita and chorizo street taco with rice and beans. For drinks they have everything I ask for to qualify as authentic Mexican and believe it of not, I passed on the Horchata for once and ordered a Mandrian Jarritilos Mexican orange soda. My first bite of the chicken taco, yep, that's good! Next up was chorizo and a bit of a surprise, maybe a mix of chorizo and potato, or maybe a vegetable I am unfamiliar with. Not wrong, if anything possibly more authentic than I'd encountered. Finally the carnits, good if a little dry, nothing the included salsa didn't help with. Both the red and green sauces were as expected. Now we get into the part I didn't love, the beans, a very small serving with the distinct flavor of powdered milk. I despise powdered milk and when you do, the flavor just sorta leaps out at you. Again, I can see how in huge swaths of Mexico if you didn't own a cow, you might use powdered milk for everything. There was rice but after the beans, I don't really remember it. The eternal question, would I return? My initial reaction was sure, I just wouldn't order a combo that included beans, but then I started thinking about how many thing might have those beans, so probably not. I suspect I'd do nothing but search for the of putting flavor of powdered milk, so why bother? There are too many places nearby to go to a place for tacos and horchata... and I really enjoy good beans! Of course if the taste of powdered or nonfat mike isn't an issue for you, you might love the place.

Mi pueblito is a restaurant that is definitely loved and frequented by locals. You could tell that…read moreeveryone knew we weren't local by some of the glares from patrons we received, but were warmly welcomed by the staff. We were quickly greeted and offered drinks, though my unhealthy obsession with Diet Pepsi could not be fulfilled here...they don't carry it (only Pepsi zero). It seems that most soft drinks are bottled only, which is fine but unexpected. We ordered waters, which were quite delicious and nicely iced. I ordered the huevos con chorizo, that comes with "Mexican " potatoes and refried beans. I received my meal pretty quickly. The downside? It took another 4 minutes before my husband's meal arrived. My eggs were perfectly cooked and the beans seemed very homemade. They had an enticing texture and taste. The potatoes were a great addition, with a nice pan roasted flavor. The meal comes with 3 corn or flour tortillas. Everything was piping hot. I loved every bite of my meal. Once my husband received his meal, he loved the flavor of his burrito as well, especially the rice, beans and nicely toasted tortilla. The menu has all prices blacked out so it's hard to gauge cost for a meal. For the quality of food, I found our meals priced accordingly...though I would have loved better soda choices. Regardless, the food was made well, though table meal service could have been timed better.

First let me start by saying that we have been looking for authentic Mexican food in the area and…read morewe have always been disappointed- at least until today. My son found Tacos El Rey right here in Caldwell, and while the menu is small, it is legit. The asada tacos were delicious; the meat was tender and not fatty at all- my son got the chicken flautas plate and he enjoyed them, and my daughter got a chicken quesadilla which she also really liked. The salsas were delicious too. The price point is decent- we paid around 50 with tip and sodas, which isn't bad in our opinion. They were friendly and the food came out fresh and fast. The place itself isn't huge, and I imagine it can get crowded but we went for lunch on a Tuesday and it wasn't bad at all; nothing fancy, but it has a decent amount of seating. Overall we really enjoyed it and would definitely go back.
