One of them suggested this hot dog stand, and I'm so glad they did. I ordered their famous chicken, fries, and cheese wrap along with an all-beef hot dog, and everything hit the spot. They were incredibly busy, but still managed to get our food out quickly, which was impressive. Condiments on the side of the food cart to make your hotdog exactly how you like it. The guys working were efficient, friendly, and helpful when it came to the menu. Overall, such a great late-night find--I'll definitely be back.

The People: The workers are very cool. The Drinks: - They sell water and sodas. I got a coke for $1. The Food: - Bratwurst: It was a solid Bratwurst, I needed some food to refuel me after a night of shenanigans in Boise. This is the spot to go get such physical replenishment. The Venue: - It is a food truck, that basically is there about 360-ish days of the year. Upshot: Grab some late night food here. They accept cards so no need to freak out if one only has cash.

I'm very happy the Genki food truck exists! I have fun finding them staged around Boise and…read moregrabbing some delicious takoyaki. It's rather difficult, if not almost impossible, to find delicious, authentic Japanese cuisine in the Treasure Valley. This small food cart is an Idaho gem. I've tried several of their food items, however this review will focus on their namesake dish, takoyaki (octopus ball). For those who don't know, takoyaki is a popular Japanese street food with bits of chopped octopus and dough inside a slightly crispy shell garnished with takoyaki sauce. I was very happy with how similar the snack tastes to the ones I've had in Japan. Genki serves these in 6 pieces ($6) and there are several sauces available. I like to top mine with sriracha to add a kick. It's a wonderful mid evening snack! My only complaint is on a couple visits I found my takoyaki to be rather old tasting, like either the oil hadn't been changed in a while or the octopus was overdue. It's happened less times than more so I'll still continue to eat this unless it becomes more frequent. Genki use to be very active on the Street Food Finder app but this summer they seem to limit their postings to Facebook and Instagram, so if you want to find them you'll have to go either of those routes.

Of course I had to try both. 6 dumplings made for a big snack or a small meal. I would have preferred them slightly more crispy, but that's an easy fix if you ask. Topped with bonito flakes, Japanese mayo, and teriyaki sauce for a nice mix of savory and sweet flavors. The pricing doesn't make a whole lot of sense: $4 for 4, 5$ for 6, $7 for 8. Sort of de-incentivizing ppl from going for 8. Just a thought.

After several friends raved about Tamales Nelly, we decided to give them a try…read more We placed an order online, with pickup on a Friday afternoon. I arrived about 15 minutes early, so they weren't quite ready with my order, but they were preparing it. I liked that you could specify a time for pickup. That was handy in coming there from work. We ordered sopes, pozole (only available on Thursdays and Fridays), along with a dozen tamales, split between pork, chicken and cheese and jalapeños. We at the sopes tonight and they were excellent. They were topped with a generous amount of meat and vegetables. I also had a couple of spoonfuls of posole and it was also very good. While many restaurants use white hominy, they had yellow, which I think has a more pronounced flavor. The women who operate the shop are friendly and take lots of pride in their work. It's wonderful to see the small business succeed.

After stopping into the Swim and Run store to pick up a quick item, I met the owner of this place…read moreand figured I'd give it a try. As I only had 5 bucks on me, I was able to get the pulled pork sandwich. The sandwich was great; a good amount of tender and slow-smoked pork, dressed in a sweet sauce on a sufficient bun...no frills. This place had a typical spread of BBQ stands including ribs and chicken, and maintained the standard sides of beans, slaw, and homemade "mac and cheez". Prices were fair, not super cheap like a taco-truck-taco, but affordable and typical for a BBQ joint. In summary, the food is great and worth stopping by, and the friendly service made for a nice lunchtime experience.

This is a great stop for the typical tiny tacos that are oh-so-good for a quick, easy, and inexpensive lunch. I got 3 lengua tacos: nice amount of meat that was very fresh, onions, and a splendid splash of spicy sauce. Next time, I hope that they have some cabeza tacos; however, I still left happy and satisfied. Prices are the somewhat standard $1/taco, and of course, they have burritos, tortas, and a variety of other traveling taco truck fare.

This is an enigmatic little airstream trailer permanently grounded in an empty lot near a liquidation outlet in the middle of State St. They serve coffee and a few food items. I had a latte and the pup hot dog. The treatment is a bit noveau, linguica sausage in a grilled kaiser roll garnished with deli mustard, asparagus, and sauerkraut. It's served with chips and a fortune cookie, how cool is that? The espresso drink was just average. Overal, however, good and cheap. The place itself is a little weird, its not sure if its a drive through or a walk up, and besides standing under the torn up shade structure astride the trailer, there's no place to actually sit down and eat, but there's plenty of parking if you want to eat in your car.
