Tacos Y Maricos El Compa

Came here for lunch with friends. Place was empty. Great atmosphere, cool artwork, comfy seats,…read moreall the good sort of things. Right away we noticed service was gonna be an issue. While we were waiting on friends, the apps we ordered early took forever. This was a theme that would continue through out the afternoon. The food took forever. The tables sat around us ordered after us and were done eating by the time any of ours arrived. They forgot one of the burritos ordered and tried to claim it's because they ran out of that specific meat. It was way too slow to run out of anything. Server was nice, but the kitchen and food was just so insanely slow. Despite having to wait forever, once it showed up, it was okay. Not great, not terrible, just ok. I'm not saying I won't come back, I'm just saying I know what to expect. There are better Mexican restaurants in Caldwell, and a much better one in Kuna that I'd rather go to.

We truly wanted Mexican foods and went because of good reviews but it it really a bar . I'm sure the drinks were great , just wasn't a good experience , sorry !

My great grandmother was a cook in a Mexican restaurant. She brought her expertise from Mexico and it was incredible. Janitzio's is owned by a family. It's not a chain. The owner cooks. It's so close to what my great grandmother made. If you do not like it, it's probably because you're not used to authentic. The Americanized Mexican food isnt that great. And what is Tex-mex anyway? Give me the real thing any day!

They also lacked seasoning. The tortillas were fresh and delicious (highlight of the meal), but there was barely any meat in the tacos and the chicken was wet and shredded like I make in the crockpot at home. We won't be back.

Gave this place another try based on the positive experience from our first visit…read more We ordered to go and wanted three tacos, but were advised tacos came in twos, so we decided to order four. ($7 for 2tacos) When we picked up our food and got home we ONLY received two tacos.. so that's annoying.. but our fault for not checking the tied bag we were given. Also Incase anyone didn't notice this there's a To-Go-Fee.. This was Interesting, because I've never seen this. Food was only okay this time around. Tacos were very crunchy and a little melted into the to go container, and burritos were soggy.. bummed on that. ($9 for 1Burrito)

It was my birthday, and family tradition says the birthday-ee gets to choose dinner. I was going to…read morehit my favorite Mexican restaurant, but in my mind, molcajete came up. A quick Yelp review showed that Eliza's had recently opened. It wasn't in the core of old downtown, so it's a little tough to find. It's next to a Hispanic grocery. You walk in and go to the counter to order. The menu is perfect. There aren't a million things to go through. We got some guacamole and chips, tacos, a torta and the molcajete. I got a medium horchata to drink. We found a place to sit and a cute little fella came to deliver our chips and salsa. The salsa was fresh, and very clean tasting. I enjoyed it a lot. After a while the guacamole came out with chips... it was a hit. I little on the spicy side, but it was fresh, no doubt. While we waited, a mariachi singer came in and sang... and boy did he sing. He was fantastic. We absolutely loved the intimate concert. It took a while, but our food came. My wife had the tacos and loved them. The torta, for the 13 yr old, was great his only complaint was it was a little too toasted. The meat was fantastic. The food was legit. If you've never had a molcajete, it's an experience. The thing is a flaming hot stone bowl,(no touchy, it's hot,) filled to the brim with shrimp, strips of grilled chicken, Carne Asada, cactus leaf, cheese, onions, and some jalapeno strips. They bring it to you hot as can be in a boiling stew of a tangy green sauce. It's not cheap, but it could easily feed 2-3... The horchata was great. I enjoyed it, it was totally refreshing. The food came and so did the songs, BTW, if the guy we heard tonight is singing, you need to show up. He's seriously awesome. They were so polite and I really enjoyed it. Here are the things I took a star off for. 1. As sweet as the waitress was, she got distracted a few times, and could have paid a little more attention. I am gonna chalk this up to inexperience. We needed a chops refill a few times, and there were only two tables filled tonight. 2. It was pricey... but worth it. 3. This is NOT fast food. Plan on a long wait. Understand though, that you are getting some made to order food, not just a scoop of something out of a bucket. There were a lot of people making food, so it was weird to have it take that long... the singer made it ok.. because he was fun to listen to. 4. They could serve and refill water, instead of selling water . The kids wiped out their water bottle in minutes. All in all, the things they can improve on didn't impact the quality of the food. It was REALLY good. We will be back... I think that they will continually get better and faster. With the quality of the food, I'm shocked this place wasn't packed.
