The restaurant is small and authentic to what I expect when visiting cities in Mexico. The food is fantastic with flavors that are as good to smell as the food is brought to the table as it is to eat. The smiles on the faces of both patrons and staff tell me this is a local favorite and great place to visit. On this visit, they had a local mariachi band play for the crowd with local patrons getting up and dancing with music. It made it fun and entertaining as we enjoyed a great meal.

If you are in Pocatello, eat here…read more We dined on a Friday night. 90% capacity. No line. A little slow to get us seated but as kind as other reviewers have noted. Everyone was kind. Thank you! Dinner took 30 minutes to reach our table. A little long and it's not like they were full with a line of people waiting. Their chips looked and seemed generic, but they were good. Salsa was about a 10/10 for me. Flavor, heat, consistency. Perfect. Bean dip was good. Nacho queso was fun, but a little plain. I appreciated having it. I had 3 shredded beef tacos, and beans and rice. One of my major complaints of an otherwise very good experience. Is that two out of my three tacos were soggy by the time I got to them and I tried to get to them immediately before I started in on the beans and rice to prevent eating soggy tacos. Anyway, that was a big disappointment. Beyond that, the freshness and flavor and quality was great. I enjoyed everything. I would definitely eat here again. I'm not sure if my tacos were soggy from the tomatoes or the shredded beef or because they were sitting under the heat light for too long. I would need to figure that out next time, if I'm ever in Pocatello again... There was live music, and that was fun. At the end of our meal thy brought out chips with cinnamon, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle. Free of charge. This is not my type of thing at all. But I have to admit it was a nice little treat after dinner and was very, very good. The only reason I'm not giving this a five star review is because of the soggy tacos. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. Everything was great.

The grilled chicken and veggies were as you'd expect but they were served with fresh, hand made tortillas, guac, beans and rice. The owner also served them with a unique salsa that was "a little bit spicy but very delicious ". Even though it was lunch the portion was more than enough for two. I liked the setting inside a train car. Cozy and quaint, but a little stuffy on a warm day. If they could've opened a window it would've been perfect. They had plenty of outside seating however so if eating al fresco is your thing they have it in abundance. I'd definitely eat here again.

I went with a couple of basic tacos (chicken and steak) , but the real stars of the table were the pupusas and the chicken con crema that my husband ordered.

Since we had the biggest group, we were sat to the right side of the restaurant, so we can be as loud as we can lol. Hope nobody was annoyed! Our waitress was amazing and being attentive and patient with our 20+ people group. I did go inside for a bit for the restrooms and it seemed a bit small but hey, you're there for the food!!! They had "outdoor" seating, which is where we were at but it's covered all the way around. Way more spacious. Oh I think they RSVP'd in advance since we had so many people, so make sure you give them a call! Not sure about smaller tables. Loved the chip's and salsa, salsa was perfect and it went well with my wet carne asada burrito!! I haven't had such a delicious burrito in a long time and that hit the spot! I finished literally everything on my plate! Usually I'll peel off a bit of tortilla here and there, but nope! Not this time! Yum! Whenever I am back, I am going to request a trip out to Despo's!!
