Nikki was super friendly! I also love Kelly and Crosby both are super solid and provide fantastic customer service. The street corn is the best and the tacos rock as well!!! read more

We have been here a few times and really enjoy it. We especially enjoy Happy Hour. I had the chicken quesadilla and it was outstanding. My wife had the tostada and she loved it. The service is great, the food is incredible, and the drinks are great. read more

So I was very hesitant to come into the spot! I was in the neighborhood and I said oh what the heck let me go grab a couple of Ritas. I walked in and at first encountered the hostess. She was nice, I went ahead and told her "yeah just going to sit at the bar ". I proceeded to go to the bar area where she put down the menu... she didn't say someone, but will be right with you, didn't say anything after that. I waited a minute or two, was trying to exercise some patience. This is on a Friday afternoon around 4 PM. I'm checking out the menu. I'm checking out the bar. There were two bartenders. No one has greeted me no one has said hello, and no one has said a word to me. I saw plenty employees walking by chatting it up with each other. No one even cared to say hello or hey have you been helped yet? Nada, nothing! The guy next to me was looking at me like dude where's your drink? He had noticed that I had been sitting there for about five minutes, and no one had said a word to me. Five minutes had passed, and I finally had to ask the male bartender because apparently the female bartender did not want to be bothered, as she told the guy next to me, I'm ready to go home! So I grabbed the young man's attention and I said can I get a drink, please. He brought me the margarita and asked if I wanted something to eat. I replied " not just yet. I'm gonna enjoy this rita and then maybe I'll order an appetizer. A few minutes went by, I had to flag another young lady that was behind the bar and order the wings... they were supposed to be the twice fried crispy wings, they were simply gross. I took a bite and it seemed they had not been cooked. So I ordered the chorizo tostada, and it was OK. No one checked on me after that. There was no hey how's the Rita? Are you doing OK? I of course, had to ask the bartender for another drink.. never a good sign. I guess the guy next to me felt bad for me that he was compelled to buy me a shot. At this time, I just wanted to finish my margarita and get out of there. had to flag the bartender down again so I could grab my check. 99% of the time I leave a tip, and a good tip at that. As I am signing the credit card machine, enjoying the last couple of sips, the manager or bar manager goes " you're doing OK over here, buddy ? And I replied. " I think it's a little late for all that " This time I was not compelled to leave a tip since I didn't receive adequate service. I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS RESTAURANT!!!!!!! read more

I have wanted to try Spitfire since it opened, but the fervor and lack of availability for me to go delayed my visit. I had a day off for my birthday and decided to celebrate at Spitfire to coincide with my first visit (finally!). We had to initially decide on indoor or outdoor dining. Since it was a 96 degree day, we opted for indoors...though the only downside is they have the outdoors only separated by a magnetic screen "door", which still lets in heat and flies. The happy hour menu was presented as soon as we were seated with a cheerful ask if we wanted to start off with bogo margaritas. Yes, please. Keep in mind, this is bogo per person, not to share around the table. I started off with the Huckleberry Acapulco, which was slightly sweet with a hit of tequila. Next, I tried the Tijuana Tamarind which was more savory and evenly balanced. Next came the "Street Corn Named Desire" street corn appetizer with chips. The corn was heavily seasoned and spicy. I can handle spice and it made me sweat a little...but it was crave-worthy spicy, not "burn your tongue off" spicy. Next came the plethora of burritos and tacos that the family and I ordered. I opted for a single smash burger taco, filled with a crispy-edged thin burger patty nestled with fresh iceberg lettuce, cheese, dill pickles and the "spitfire special sauce" (which closely resembles thousand island dressing) in a beautifully griddled flour tortilla. Every bite was like eating a balanced burger, but just as a taco. I genuinely each bite. Everyone eagerly gobbled up their meals with "yummmmmm" occasionally floating around the table. Next, they brought out the churro lava cake to celebrate my birthday. That cake was so uniquely fun and decadent. They made everything so special for me! With the exception of the flies joining us for dinner, I cannot wait for my next visit. read more

We ordered al pastor tacos, Baja California tacos, a burrito, and nachos with salsa, along with a margarita and a glass of wine. Everything was tasty and well-prepared, with good portions and a reasonable price. The atmosphere was lively and pleasant, and the service was friendly and efficient. Overall, a solid spot for casual Mexican-inspired food and drinks in Eagle. read more

As someone exploring the local culinary scene, I was excited to try Spitfire Tacos + Tequila. The aesthetic is spot-on--modern decor with a lush, green feel and ample seating between the two patios and the interior. Drink & Appetizer: I started with the Cabo San Fresca. It's a sophisticated cocktail where the elderflower and mint really shine. For an app, I tried the Street Corn Name Desire. Note: it is served off the cob. Despite a few salty chips, it was a delicious starter. The Tacos: 1. Pollo Asado (GF): 5/5. This is a must-order. The chicken chicharrones add a great crunch, and the guacamole balances the heat beautifully. 2. Korean BBQ Pork Belly: 3/5. A very sweet/vinegar-forward profile. If you enjoy a sweeter taco, you'll like this, though it felt a bit heavy for me. 3. Baja Mahi Mahi: 1/5. Unfortunately, this was inedible. The breading was so greasy it masked the toppings, and the fish was quite chewy. Service Reflections: I arrived just after 3:00 PM (Happy Hour is 3-5 PM), but I wasn't given the HH menu or informed of the specials. I didn't realize the oversight until I saw the signage by the host stand at 4:01 PM. While my server Emily R. was pleasant, I was surprised the kitchen or service staff didn't address the untouched Mahi Mahi taco or offer the promotional pricing earlier. I'll likely return for the Pollo Asado and the atmosphere, but I hope to see more proactive service regarding Happy Hour and food quality checks next time. read more

Awesome tacos, service & setting. Everything we ordered was fantastic. Highly recommend!

I had come here once before we moved to Idaho. We came here today (Tuesday) for lunch, almost two years after we moved to Star. It was about 12:45, and the place was pretty crowded. All of the booths were taken, and we were left with the enclosed patio area, which was pretty empty. The young blond woman (who would turn out to be our server, and who's name I have forgotten) told us we could sit anywhere. We chose a table close to the street. They had their overhead heaters on, a little too warm for me, but my wife enjoyed them. The table was plain, with uncomfortable metal chairs. Our server brought out a carafe of water, which is all we wanted. We both had burritos; my wife chose the carne asada, and I the pollo asada. Mine came with nicely seasoned, tender chicken, crema, and tater tots. I think there might have been more ingredients. They also have a verde and a roja salsa, both of which were very tasty and packed some heat. The large flour tortilla was nicely browned, and both of our burritos were very flavorful. My only complaint is that one end of my burrito did not have any chicken. So, more chicken, otherwise delicious. Our server did a very good job, checking back with us a few times. She was friendly and attentive. I did not care for the noise level. It was very loud, though I could still hear my wife speaking. However, we had a larger party of women near us that were extremely loud, until they received their food, and then they quieted down. But, not a great place if you want to have some quiet conversation. However, we will most certainly be back. read more

Love the tacos, the one on Eagle has always been great. Decided to go to the new one in garden city for lunch, 18.50 for a burrito that's barely wider then 2 fingers, things tiny for a 20$ burrito. Do better. Things like a Taco Bell burrito but costs 15$ more read more

Tacos are on the menu tonight and the websites for Google and Yelp suggest Spitfire Tacos and Tequila have been recieving positive reviews. On a Saurday afternoon, the place was humming with people inside, outside and on the roof. A positive vibe was in the air. We got a seat at the bar and looked over a large menu. We started with the chips sprinkled with tajin seasoning and a delicious and savory salsa. The tacos looked intriguing, so we selected the alta California shrimp with tajin crema slaw, guacamole, cotija, pica da gallo and chipolte crema on a corn tortilla. I could not taste the shrimp as the slaw and all other ingredients overwhelmed the flavor. The smash burger taco contained ground beef, government cheese (does not sound appealing), dill pickles, lettuce and their special sauce. Again, you could only taste the cheese. I didn't love the tacos and found them both grossly over-powered by the condiments. Another bone to pick was the swarm of flies inside the restaurant. It was difficult in defending the food from the swarms of flies. Eating here again will not happen. Spitfire Tacos and Tequila has a good vibe, nice building, friendly staff but they first need to refine the taco profiles, so one can highlight the protein. Bug control is a close second! read more

Over a year later and it is time for an update. We have been here dozens of times and I am happy to say the early growing pains are long gone. The front of house runs smoothly, food comes out fast, and quality has been consistent. The tequila and mezcal selection is solid and something we look forward to every visit. The house chips dusted with Tajín and the trio of dips are always a must. Do not skip the queso. When the weather is nice, the outdoor seating shines. The new top level deck with its bar and lounge-style seating has become our favorite spot to hang out. If you are hungry for tacos and maybe a little tequila, Spitfire Tacos is the place to go. Oh, and the smashburger taco, I know it sounds weird, but if you like burgers must try! read more

Fun atmosphere in downtown Eagle! Tacos for all kinds from vegetarian to classic carnitas to smashburgers in tortillas. We couldn't choose so we ordered the wheel (one of each) which comes with a goblet of margarita (which was fantastic). They fence in the patio so they have high capacity year round. Small parking lot and street parking. The rooftop patio would be fun in the summer! read more

I have driven by this place a few times and thought it was time to stop in...a nice afternoon with lots of sun and they have a rooftop patio! Yeah, I am in! Now the rooftop was closing, they were having repairs done to the misters...no problem, a little hot to be sitting up in the sun anyways...took a spot at the bar, had a margarita and ordered some food! Now, I have been in Boise a little over 3 months now and I will say this is one area with a lot of good taco places, this is yet another! I ordered the mushroom taco and a quesadilla...felt like a good mash-up for dinner! I have to say both items were very much above average! The taco had great flavors in it. I do not do meat so at a lot of the taco places it can be a challenge to find something creative...this one hit pretty hard! great depth to the mushroom, nice flavors for all the fixings and a good tortilla. The quesadilla was even better...nothing fancy but fancy all the same. Great cheese in it, nice shell and lots of flavor. Had some guacamole with it and that was spot on as well! I will be back, to sit up on the patio and enjoy the misters...and have some tacos and a few margaritas along the way! KT read more

My husband and I tried this restaurant out for the first time last night. We started with the tajin dusted chips and salsa. The chips were absolutely delicious, but we thought the salsa was a little bland. I had the Carne Asada taco along with a Tijuana Tamarind margarita. The taco was delicious, and I did appreciate the amount of tequila in the margarita! My husband had the Smashburger Burrito. He said it was "okay," typical hubby answer. We will definitely go back. Can't wait to try other tacos, and margaritas! The staff here were all young and full of energy and personality. Primo dining experience. read more

Wow. What a let down after a year. Service was nice but the food was not good. My simple taco was literally inedible. It was extremely slathered in Tajin and I think adobo. I can handle spice but it was horrible and soooo tart. My poor grandson ordered a chicken soft taco and little squares of chicken with weirdly grated cold white cheese and that's it - in a soft tortilla. He said he didn't want it. I was really embarrassed to take the fam there. It used to be good. Won't go back. read more

The staff deliver a level of service of someone who has decided they are quitting right after this shift. It seems like the servers are constantly "in training", and The greetings are delivered with an enthusiasm usually reserved for telemarketers. The teeny tiny dining room floor is constantly sticky, and the upstairs bar area looks like they hope that the rain will wash it down once in a while. Be sure to notice the "orange juice machine" that looks like it would stick to the wall if you threw it right near the "to go" counter. I don't recommend this place. read more

This was my second time going there and I am so obsessed with their tajin dusted chips, truly life changing!!!! I was happy I got to try their Korean BBQ Pork Belly Tacos, you have to get them! I rarely eat pork belly outside of Asian dishes and i'm so glad I did - the taco was incredible. The pork belly was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the cucumbers were so fresh and added a lightness to the taco where it didn't feel heavy at all. First time Asian - Mexican fusion has actually tasted like a good fusion and not a bunch of random spices. I went on a Saturday so the ambience was louder but to be expected, I prefer less loud music however as mentioned, I know that's a consideration to have when going out to eat on a football Saturday. The service was very friendly as well. read more

Third time trying this place and never been satisfied! We recently ordered Spitfire from the local brewery! My wife ordered a shrimp taco and a beef taco! Shrimp was cold and soggy! Beef was tasteless and soggy tortilla! I ordered the reef and beef burrito, but more of a tater tot burrito! No mention of tater tots in the description!? Had one piece of shrimp and maybe a few ounces of beef!? Majority of soggy tater tots and cold! When we ordered we could mot add any special requests,such as extra hot sauce! So I called spitfire directly and the gentleman who answered the phone whom i gave my order number and requested just some extra hot sauce! He for whatever reason could not help me with the simple request and said he would get his manager to help. After on hold for what seemed like 5 minutes no one came back on the phone..... This place is horrible and would not suggest anyone eating here! I gave them 3 tries and every time I was very disappointed! read more

While i read some of the one star reviews, I had a great experience. I am visiting from AZ and my mom and her friends took me to this cute restaurant.. we went during happy hour so drinks were $2 off. I ordered the birria taco and i can't remember the name of the other one but it was the first one on the taco menu with pineapple..Good and Goood!!! i also got the mixed drink with huckleberry... It was perfect and pretty to the eyes as well. we cot the chips with the three dips, Queso, salsa and guacamole.. the chips had tajin. Also fantastic. Our waitress deserved a raise!! she was fantastic. She was helpful, attentive and very fun. I want to come again before I leave. I hope that whoever visits this establishment has the experience I did. read more

Went there on a Friday around noon after shopping nearby. Place wasn't too busy. Staff was friendly and patrons seemed to be enjoying their food. We had chips, salsa and quac. Chips were warm, guac was good but I didn't care for the salsa. Sons and wife liked the salsa. Son and wife had Birria Ramen. They both said it didn't have any broth and was spicy. They would get something different next time. Son-in-law had a taco and shrimp ceviche which he liked. Mom had an al pastor taco which she loved. I sampled the Ramen. It was so-so. Wife had a Smoked Puebla Pina which she could barely drink since it was so strong. Others had Huckleberry Acapulco and Cancun Carajillo. They said their drinks were good. I had water and it was cold and refreshing. Overall my group liked it. We may come again if in the area. read more

It took about 15 minutes for our waitress to take our order. We had to call her over twice to put in drinks and the chips. Since it already took so long for us to get her attention we drank all our water because and stacked 5 cups up to inform her we wanted more water and we were the only ones without a pitcher and had to ask for it. The food was great, but the service not so much, definitely a new server. read more

I'm sad to say, I was unimpressed. On 2 different evenings I stopped in to eat here but the wait was too long. We eventually came for lunch instead. I thought for sure with how busy it always is, it was going to be worth the hype. For starters, the menu threw me off a little. I was expecting full meals with sides. Your options are more like tacos, burritos, and appetizer type items. It felt incomplete, but then again it is true to its name "tacos + tequila" so you can say that's my fault for expecting more. For drinks we ordered the smoked Puebla pena which I wish was just a tad sweeter and the Paloma which was yummy. There were no complementary chips and salsa so we ordered the street corn with chips. The corn was okay. The chips had a good flavor. We then ordered the al pastor tacos and shrimp tacos. The al pastor was super fatty in all of ours, none of us finished them. I would not order that again. However, the shrimp tacos were soooo good! Would I return? Idk the small menu was okay for lunch or maybe a snack during a night out for drinks, but I couldn't imagine eating dinner when I'm really hungry here. If I did return, I'd absolutely be getting the shrimp tacos that's for sure! read more

Typical Eagle hype up ... this place is a glorified Chevys (which is only food for beers and free chips). If overpriced white people taco night is your jam ... you've found your spot!

Great location, plenty of parking we liked that. It was our first time there the menu has quite a few choices. We ordered four different tacos, and we thought they were fairly good. The tortilla on one of mine was not really cooked so I did not enjoy that. Our server was very friendly and knew the menu, but I don't know that we would go back, found it to be somewhat marginal read more

I've been here multiple times- just me (to go) with a girlfriend & with a large group- all experiences were nice. Even delivery is good (via DoorDash.) As I'm sure you have noted from other reviews already, food tends to be very flavorful, spicy, not hot but spicy- which is not for for everyone. I'm personally thrilled to have a very flavor-full meal without it being hot. It's been awhile since I've been back, & I've never just chilled at the bar, but I'd suspect the bar would be a nice place for a solo meal. I like that the dairy/cheese is more a condiment vs the star of the show here. I personally haven't been impressed with the salads, but the tacos, though the standard street taco size- are more filling than one might initially assume. Of note too is that you can bring their food into the bar next door, though I've not tried that option yet. read more

Blatant Dishonesty and Zero Management Accountability I will not be returning to Spitfire, and if you have a family, I suggest you don't either. We decided to bring our family of five (including small children) for an early dinner around 4:30 PM. The experience was a disaster from the moment we pulled into the full parking lot. My wife jumped out of the car to check availability while I found a spot. She specifically asked the host if we could take one of the internal booths, noting that we had small kids and could easily "cram in" to make it work. The host told her that no booths were available, but a table was being cleared. We got the kids out of the car and squeezed into the tiny, waiting area by the stand. While we stood there, we watched a group vacate one of the booths. We immediately asked if we could wait for that specific spot since it was now open. Again, we were told "there is another group ahead of you waiting for a booth"...no biggie, thought we would ask Then the "WTF" moment happened. While we were still standing there waiting, a party of four walked in off the street. The host told them there was no room inside but to grab any four-seater they saw. As the group from the booth finally cleared out, that party of four--who had just walked in 5 minutes after us--asked the host if they could have the booth. Right in front of our faces, the host let them sit down. When I called the other host out on this, he was completely dumbfounded--he knew they'd screwed up. I asked to speak to a manager. I explained the entire sequence: how we were told we couldn't have the booth because of a "waitlist," only to watch a later arrival walk right past us and take it. The manager's response? A cold, dismissive, "I'll talk to them." No "I'm sorry." No "Let me make this right." No apology whatsoever. It's one thing to have a host who is clueless and watches a mistake happen right in front of them without saying a word. It is another thing entirely to have a manager who clearly doesn't give a damn about his customers. We walked out and took our money to an establishment that actually understands basic hospitality. read more

I highly recommend this place in the heart of old downtown Eagle and open for only a few weeks. I ordered the pollo asado burrito instead of trying their namesake tacos and have to say that it was the best burrito I've had in years! You need a big appetite because the delicious fillings are plentiful with lots of flavorful juicy chicken, avocado, chicken skin chicharrones, which add an amazing crunch to the burrito and more. I also ordered chips and a tamarind margarita. The tajin chips were excellent but I personally didn't like the spicy jalapeño flavor in the margarita. Service was fast & friendly read more

Where have I been in life!?! Came to Spitfire Tacos today for lunch and had the best time!! This place used to be an old burger joint. It got a nice glow up! Quite the venue now! It's bright, colorful and exciting. We got sat at one of the booths right next to the bar. They have bottles of spirits beautifully placed. The bar would be fun to sit at for a fun drink or a casual date night. We were here for lunch and this place was buzzin! It's nice to see do many people out eating and having a good time! Our server came and greeted us. She got our drinks ordered and shortly came back to take our food orders. I got a Huckleberry mocktail for my drink. For starters we ordered the chips with queso, guac and salsa. For our tacos we grabbed the quesabirria taco and shrimp taco. My Huckleberry mocktail was delicious! It was sweet and tart. It was garnished with a juicy huckleberry and a dried lime piece. The chips and dip were fabulous! I enjoyed the fresh quac and queso. It was hard to stop eating the tajin dusted chips. And then you add queso to that chip...... so good! The tacos came out a little after and boy did they look fantastic! The quesabirria taco was devine! It's prepared a little differently compared to other birria tacos. They melt the cheese into the meat and not grill the taco itself. It worked! That baby was filled with the meaty cheesy goodness. Topped with a delicious salsa and onion mix. The consume that came with it was savory. It added a good element to the quesabirria. The shrimp taco was awesome! The shrimp was savory and crunchy. The cabbage slaw on top gave it a nice crunchy element. The sauce gave it a creaminess to the bite. Both of these tacos were chef's kiss! I'm happy I got to try this joint out! The staff was fantastic! From the bartender to the server, they were on top of their A game! The food was phenomenal. The venue is fun and relaxing. I look forward to going back to having more tacos! read more
