Owen! is the best!! he made a great Tequila old fashioned and was so friendly. I recommend

Well I usually don't need to down grade a positive review but I have to. We've been back a few times now and unfortunately every time we go the food has become less than the stellar review I posted. The last time was Memorial Day. I was given the incorrect order, finally received mine cold, waaaaaay too spicy and the amount of Onions on my asada taco was overbearing. So saddened by the turn over of cooks is what I can only imagine. There are no more flavor layers as before it's now just Okay. The ceviche was not the original real ceviche this looked and tasted like some orangey Salad dressing was added instead of the plain lime. Needless to say my taco had More jalapeños in it that My jalapeño margarita I'd ordered which had none. Sad day read more

Love this place! Great food, delicious drinks and the service is amazing! We love the staff and always have fun!

In Eagle for work and picked these guys for dinner take out. My order was ready in 10 minutes, super friendly staff when I picked up the order. Food was delicious.,.al pastor and pork belly tacos, and for sure order the street corn. Pleasantly surprised at some cool tacos in Boise! read more

Overall, four out of five stars on a very busy day, one of its first days open, from my understanding. We had to wait a little, but we were seated at the bar fairly quickly (two of us). It was cold when we went, so we sat inside, but it looks like when it warms up there will be more extensive seating outside and on top of the restaurant. There are also a couple TVs, but they aren't main features. The music wasn't super loud, which was nice, because otherwise it would have been way too loud with all the people and an active bar. There's plenty of booth seating for larger groups, too. The staff was very nice and helpful. We had to wait a little for the check at the end, but that's ok. The bartenders were also clearly very good at their jobs. We ordered a burriaquesa taco and an Al Pastor taco. The former, the burriaquesa, was the lesser of the two but still very good. It had too many onions and the corn tortilla struggled to hold up- if there were fewer onions and a double corn tortilla, it would've been perfect. Still very good, just keep that in mind. The Al Pastor taco was excellent. The meat was perfectly tender and the flavors came together extremely well- definitely the best taco I've had in Boise/Eagle. Obviously, we didn't get a ton of stuff, but what we did get was very good. The tacos were very good, the prices weren't that bad at all (two very large tacos for six bucks each), and the service was good as well. Only dinging one star for a long wait on the check and the quesabirria taco having a couple poorer qualities. But, definitely will be back! read more

Spitfire Tacos + Tequila - The birriaquesa taco on the left and the Al Pastor taco on the right. - Mexican Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

First: dogs welcome on the patio! I visited Spitfire for the first time and was absolutely blown away by the food! My dad & I shared chips and salsa, which we both agreed was the perfect salsa: lots of peppers, thick and lots of flavor. My two tacos were so layered with flavor! Dad tried a burrito and was amazed by how tasty it was. We were both also blown away by the great service Owen K gave us. Attentive and cheery, and even brought more water after the bill was paid, which is almost unheard of! Drinks: I had a basic margarita that wasn't on the menu, dad had an IPA. Both were more expensive than typical at a fairly casual place, the only drawback and reason for not giving 5 stars. Food was a good price for the flavor and amount. Thank you, Owen, for a great experience! read more

First of all, let me start by saying that Michelle R probably needs to get a job. I frequent spitfire tacos and I come from California and now am in Idaho. And I State that because of the fact that living in California Mexican food is easily accessible. Not so much here in Idaho. However, fire tacos has always had excellent food, excellent service, and excellent drinks. I'm not going to say read more

Their Tacos and Burritos are soooo good. Today I tried their Green Chile queso and it was amazing! Service today was great too!

We have been wanting to try this new restaurant in our area. We want to support local restaurants since we live near by in Banbury. What a disappointment from service...food and price. We sat there for about 10 minutes before any one acknowledged we were there. Gave us water and another 10 minutes before even ordering a drink which took about 30 minutes. At least we ordered everything at once. food was dreadful. Cheese quesadilla was all cheese and very little chicken. All was al a carte. Bill added up so quickly!!!! Unbeknownst to us. BEWARE of hidden costs. Food is better and cheaper at Taco Bell.... read more

Spitfire Tacos + Tequila - $13 for guacamole sauce??? they charge you for more salsa???? WOW... - Mexican Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

Was very excited to take my Mom there for Christmas.....the waitress was amazing! The whole IGLOO.....not at all impressed, under construction, outside, bar put away, looked like a storage room to get to the Igloo........definitely a disappointment, I would not pay 160.00 again. Food......was amazing! read more

We paid 50 dollars at the food truck. Service was poor and dismissive. We only received 2 tacos and a small portion of meat (requested a burrito without tortilla). Our main concern was the cost and dismissive staff. read more

Bought a burrito, cost was 20$ and it comes with no sauce and it's about 90% tater tots. No grill marks on the burrito and the way they wrapped it the second I tried eating it, it fell apart. Not even close to worth the money you have to pay for mediocre "California style Mexican" read more

Came in for happy hour this week and had the best experience. We both got the street tacos (my wife tried beef and pork and I had pork and chicken). Loved all three - pork being my fave. Then we had the tostadas and they really hit the spot. We sat in the patio and had a great space in the shade. Perfect. But the best part of our experience was the service. Our server Siouxsie was the absolute best. She recommended a turmeric and carrot juice specialty drink that was off the charts. She was super personable and just overall great. Will definitely be back. read more

So I decided to try this place again and eat in this time instead of taking the food out. It seems maybe there was a different cook or something because the food was much better tasting this time. Changing my review to 4 stars. read more

I came in for a late lunch. My pork belly taco was amazing and I loved the pickled veggies in it. My shrimp taco was less impressive but I'm looking forward to trying more tacos in the future. The chips and salsa and guacamole were so tasty! read more

Nice place to stop and get lunch! Was dead at 11, so service was great! Tacos were bomb!!! Avoid the nachos, soggy and had extra wet sauce vs cheese. My mom loved her Bloody Mary. Very hip atmosphere. I imagine at night this place is hopping! read more

Not sure why there are 1-2 star reviews. You are allowed your opinion of course, but are we dining at the same place? Seems like a lot of the complaints are from it being loud or the prices. This is a higher end place that is popular. Of course it is going to be loud with all the people. And I feel the prices are fair for the type of food you are getting. This isn't a chain fast food joint. We loved our experience here. The food was fantastic! Yes it's messy! You're eating tacos stuffed with delicious things! My kids loved the quesadillas because they have chips stuffed in them. Adds a crunchy texture you didn't know you needed in a quesadilla! We also tried the burritos which are huge and the added tater tots inside are nice. The chorizo tostada was great too. I added the salsa from the chips and salsa appetizer and it was even better. We also tried the al pastor, the pollo asado, carne asada, and mushroom tacos. All of them were amazing! My niece, who is a vegetarian, ordered the mushroom tacos and raved about them. So the rest of us ordered them too and were not disappointed! They were absolutely fantastic! My favorite thing I have had so far! If you want good drinks, good food, and a fun atmosphere...this place should be on your list. read more

Great attentive service, even offered an off the menu drink for me. The tacos are delicious (we had the carne asada, smashburger and quesabarilla tacos). The menu states they are "inauthentic" tacos, and they are. The guacamole is mild but tasty; the Tajín on the chips makes up for this for sure. We'll be back! read more

Great drinks good food horrible service That's really all I had to say but the yelp review wanted 85 characters so I had to continue. read more

While recently visiting friends, they touted this place as true California tacos. Nothing is further from the truth. This place is ripping off local Idahoans with their food and drink prices. What I experienced is the worst of the "Cali" thing. Who can actually afford this WOKE food? If it was reproducing the actual street scene for tacos in CA, they wouldn't get away with charging 4 times the price of a specialty taco. The drink prices are totally inflated. The meats lack flavor and are full of gristle. Their salsas are weak, salty and totally suck. I get that this company is escaping CA like so many others ahead of the $20/hour pay requirement, but why inflict financial misery in Idaho? As a long time Yelper, I quickly saw so many fake 5 star reviews from people who didn't even hide the fact that they are fake. It is clear that the company is doing a desperate reach back to associates who live in CA to falsely boost their rating. Also, there are many 5 star reviews that come from people from ID,ID (fake address) and who have no friends, and have suddenly made Spitfire their first and only review. People of Eagle wake up, smell the imposter reviews and fake Mexican food. Note: To Scott S, manager of the business...You think you are pretty smart to have friends and employees writing fraudulent reviews which are all five star reviews. I have over 1100 reviews and know a little more than you do. You may get away with it for a while, but it will catch up to you. Notice that 25 reviews have been placed in the category for violating Yelp standards. Your business could get banned from Yelp if you keep it up. A word of advice - don't have your employees like Cn'a and Summer writing 5 star reviews on the same day, Jan 23, using fake accounts. Both of those ladies are mentioned in other reviews as being great servers at Spitfire. Looks like the unethical practices impact have deep roots in your staff. Yelp has been told. Meanwhile, don't write aggressive responses as you did toward me, if you hope to help your business. BTW are you Scott K. who wrote a glowing review on Dec 20? He doesn't have friends and gave the business his first and only review - 5 star to Spitfire. Yelpers need to keep up the good work and keep reporting these fraudulent writings. Yelp only works when people are real and truthful. read more

The food is ridiculously over seasoned. The food is oily and greasy. Avoid at all cost if you have acid reflux or sensitive stomach issues. read more

Spitfire Tacos + Tequila - Shrimp taco that just disintegrated. - Mexican Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

I have eaten at the Eagle location 5 times. The first visit everything went well and the food (burrito) was good...not great but good as far as Mexican food goes for Idaho. Unfortunately, after the initial visit, there have been repeated problems(e.g., missing hot sauce, cold food, very long service delays or outright failure to deliver "to go" order). In addition, this place is pricey! They (I believe) came from San Diego and they are charging SoCal prices...with that one might expect food and service to reflect the pricing structure. They are recently opened so fingers crossed they get things ironed out...I will follow-up. read more

My wife and I are hoping to move to Eagle one of these days, so when a new place to eat opens there, we pay special attention to it. I am not sure just how long SpitFire has been open, but my wife has been telling me for a while that she wanted to try it out, so today was the day. When we pulled up in front of Spitfire to park, my 1st thought was really? From the outside, this place is not much to look at. I thought they were under construction still. From the street, it looked like the front was covered by plastic wrap. Why I thought this, I am not sure, but it just didn't look complete and inviting. Still, I kept and open mind and, along with my wife, went inside. Once inside, we asked for a booth. The only booths were in the bar area. The front was tables only. Even though the bar was not my 1st choice, we went anyway, because to be honest, my butt just likes the comfort of booths. I had told my wife earlier that I was in the mood for tacos, so this place fit the bill. We sat in our booth and waited to be amazed. The reason I didn't want to sit in the bar was soon apparent as we were accosted by the noise from the booth behind us that was filled with 20 somethings. My wife had the "Quesabirria' tacos. The menu said, "braised beef", which I guess is there word for Roast. My wife thought they were great. The flavor was way to flavorless for me, but this blandness fit her very well. I told the waiter about the lack of flavor. He told us that the tacos are designed to be eaten with a dipping cause like a French Dip. The dipping sauce that came with these had no real flavor. It tasted like a salty brown water. I loved the concept though of a taco that you dip in a sauce. This place would do well to expand on this concept. They could easily provide lots of various causes for this. I had the "Al Pastor", "Carne Asada", and "Pollo Asado". The Al Pastor I would not have again. After taking a bite of this, my pallet screamed at me that it was very confused. The combo of Pineapple and Mayo made this way too "UnTaco" for me. The Carne Asada was my fav of the 4 tacos I tasted. It had a good smokey steak flavor accompanied by cheese, guac, a few chilies and some other ingredients. My only real complain on this one was that it, like many of their other tacos had way too much onion. The Pollo Asado was the chicken taco. The chicken has a pretty good smokey flavor, and the balance of flavors was good. We also had the chips, salsa, and guac. The chips were seriously over salted. This brings me to a concern. Bars have a tendency to over salt things on purpose. One of the big underlying themes here seems to be salt. There is a trade secret that unscrupulous bars use to drive up their bar receipts. Salty food = Thirsty customers. This equals people ordering more drinks, which means more revenue for the bar. Id like to think this place is not using this strategy, but its something to keep in mind if you go here. The salsa was good but for me, lacked balance. It needed Cilantro, and tomatoes. The guac was for me, pretty non-descript. I will be going back to give SpitFire another chance, but for me, this trip rated only rated a fair to good rating of 4 on my 1 to 10 scale but this was largely due to their overuse of salt. read more

I will start with ambience. As others on year have written, it's loud and echoey. Here at about 1pm. I'm here in the front right now and the outside is filthy. They've got banners hanging off the building laying on the ground near the trash. There are mountains of keggers and Boxes flowing out of the back door area. There is a drive-through, but it's not a drive-through. It's only for pick up after you have pre-ordered. Nothing is labeled very well on the outside. There is a plastic protected outdoor seating enclosure, but nothing is marked as to where the front door might be or how to order or proceed. The moment I walk in, I was hit with a wave of noise, loud conversations, clanking, chairs being scraped across a concrete floor, very echoey and cold. There is a bar area, but there's no seating podium or signs as to whether it's open seating or hosted . Having been in the restaurant business before I entered by the bar only to find a little back room area off of the bar with a menu board above a counter, probably about 5' wide total, where I figured out I'm supposed to order. Not a big menu and limited to softshell tacos only. Only shrimp, no seafood tacos. No Carnitas, only beef and some Korean pork. Odd. I tried to order a Birria taco, and after a moment of his time away from the register, he returned with bad news that they are out. No indications on the menu board though. After I struck out with the menu, I declined any food and decided to leave. As for Service, there was no service to mention. Nobody approached me when I came in the door, the person receiving my order was so soft-spoken I could not hear him over the crowd. I took a photo of the kitchen area, which was sort of sloppy and not as sanitary as I would prefer. The lighting was very poor so you know that they can't clean very well if you can't see very well. A total bust, a total strike out on this. My advice to the owners. You have other businesses in California so you should know better. You should've been better prepared. The honeymoon period is now over. I do not recommend. read more

Spitfire Tacos + Tequila - The kitchen. Dine at your own risk. - Mexican Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

Delicious food,great atmosphere. Waitress was super helpful! We loved everything we got and can't wait to go back

Such a cool casual place for a quick bite or drink with friends. Love the atmosphere, food and drinks are great., bThe rooftop patio is a great place to chill and the people that work at Spitfire were super nice and helpful. We need more places like this in the greater boise area. read more

So yummy!!! I had not been despite living in eagle and they have been open over a year. What was I thinking!!! I've been back 4 times in the last 3 weeks. Such great drinks, atmosphere and food. The smoked Pueblo Pina margarita drink is delicious. But my favorite new addiction is the smashburger taco. Yummmmmmm I also had the Al pastor taco and carne asada taco both good. read more

Unfortunately the food, drinks and service didn't match up to the upscale vibe and prices. $7 tacos with very little protein on them, lots of filler. Good taste, but not worth $7, or at all authentic. Cocktails are sweet, and over priced. My Paloma tasted more like juice than tequila, definitely not an authentic drink, way to sweet and unbalanced. I was also charged for someone else's drink and when I asked, the bartender grabbed my receipt, and came back with a new one, obviously irritated with me. No sorry, nothing. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Spitfire Tacos + Tequila - Paloma - Mexican Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

First our server Mike was great. Very friendly and accommodating. It's still a busy place 5-6 weeks after the opening. It's a loud atmosphere with a very busy bar. Drinks well not sure about going rate is but you could easily rack up $30 for 2 drinks. The food, everything starts off with a medium spice so if you don't like spice this might not be the place for you. The meats/shrimp are either marinaded in something with spice or shrimp was coated in cayenne. This is your PSA The carne asada was over cooked on tacos, I had pollo on salad which was alright but too much dressing like my salad was swimming and very strong in lime department. Thought the guac was a bit bland and salsa just ok. Friends had chicken tacos and a shrimp burrito, that's big enough for 2 people but was too spicy for them. read more

Tacos and cocktails are fantastic! We had 5 different types of tacos and 3 different types of cocktails and all were top notch. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Some spots can bring the heat, some spots can bring the flavor, few can do both. This is the spot for those looking for full bold flavors in food and beverages. The house salsa alone is worth braving the Eagle gridlock. read more

Spitfire Tacos + Tequila - Table and glass - Mexican Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

This place is simply amazing, I had this sever named Noah I believe and his customer service was incredible! He was super helpful about knowing what would go good with the queso you must get the chorizo with it! As well as the carne asada and smash burger taco! I have had a lot of burgers in my life the the smash burger is a must try! the two bartenders that I saw Kodi and Havi I think were their names came up and asked how the drinks were and the Tijuana tamarind was so so so good a little spicy and you could really taste the tamarind in it! Also what great decorated place with all the plants that compliment the orange interior! I will be coming back with my family soon!!! read more

Excellent mushroom tacos. Great friendly place. Love the firey. Salsa. Will go again when in Eagle.

This is a great addition to "downtown" Eagle. I've been there twice now, and had a good experience both times. The first time I had the Mex-Tex salad, and it was large and light but filling. Great flavor, fresh ingredients. Today (my second visit), I had the Korean pork belly taco and the carne asada taco. Both were so good that I know I'll order them the next time, even though I want to try the others. The Tuba Taxco cocktail is SO GOOD. I'm a bourbon person--my go-to cocktail is a Manhattan, or if I don't trust the vermouth somewhere, an old fashioned. This drink is fantastic. Bourbon forward with a little coffee, a little sweet, a little Smokey. I would come here just for this cocktail and the tajin tortilla chips and salsa. Oh yeah, do yourself a favor and order the chips and salsa and throw in the queso and guac. It's good. read more

It's interesting reading the previous reviews. A little harsh for a new place I think. Went last week with friends to try it out, and here is my honest review. Since I have had great Mexican food from all over, and I understand that this is Idaho, and Spitfire will be rated on a different scale. My scale will be from all the Mexican places I have tried here IN Idaho! The 4 of us came in on a snowy Friday night thinking people would have stayed home. I was so wrong. People were there, and a lot of them. Mostly 20 & 30 somethings. I was told an hour wait. Typically I hit the road, but we were set to try this place, and we were determined. On the wait, I don't like it when they say 1hr and then it takes 2. This was NOT the case here, the hostess did a good job on the estimated time. Extra points. 3 spots opened at the packed bar, and we took them with one standing while we waited. We ordered chips and salsa. They were good. I think the chips were spiced with paprika?, not my favorite, but OK, hat tip to being a bit different. The salsa was good, and a tad on the hot side for typical ID place. I liked it. They had Guac too, but we didn't get it. It looked good on our neighbors plate. We all ordered Margaritas. I had the typical standard, and my wife and friends had the huckleberry. Mine was ok tasting, nothing special, with a lot of ice. For the price I think it could have been more of the drink and a bit less on the ice. Kind of a nit pick there. The manager checked on our table, and said we would be up soon. And we were. We sat in a booth which was nice. Our waiter was friendly, and outgoing. All the staff, including the bar folks were all cool. So, don't fear the staff by all means. They were fine. The table ordered various taco's, and I had the burrito. With the tots and chicken. I have eaten a ton of burritos from all over, and these guys make a very good one. I really liked it. We all liked the tacos. The Hot taco, is well, HOT! So, be aware that here HOT does mean hot. I ordered another margarita, but I got the huckleberry one this time. It was really good. So, I would recommend that one for sure. So, some last thoughts... Give them some time. They are new here. But the basics are there for a very vibrant business going forward. Spitfire will be great in Summer when the roller doors go up, and we can all sit up on top or in the open area below. This will be a hot spot in downtown Eagle. Eagle downtown is on it's way, and Spitfire will be leading it. Anyway, Recommended! read more

Spitfire Tacos + Tequila - Sorry, poor picture. But it was tasty! Huckleberry marg. peeking over the wrap. A winner. - Mexican Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

Spitfire is a great addition to the Eagle food scene. They did a complete remodel on Doug's burger den and turned it into a taco and tequila spot with a cool vibe. I ordered a house margarita and the house made guacamole (delicious) , salsa (very good). and queso (Yum). Our server said the chips are made daily in house and they were equally as good. Next up was the Taco Al Pastor - plenty of thinly sliced meat from their vertical spit, avocado and some spicy toppings in a warm flour tortilla. I plan to stop by the drive thru later this week to try the breakfast burrito. It looks like the upstairs patio will be a blast when the weather gets warmer. read more

Food is amazing and drinks are just as amazing as well. We love coming here as the staff is so nice. The owner was there today and was so nice too. I ordered a drink for my husband before he got there and the owner saw my husband strange face he made so asked if he wanted a different drink. The drink was good I ended up drinking it just something my husband didn't care for. The lady with dreads and I wish I got her name to all the staff and food Absolutely Great! read more
