Delicious lunch! We asked for a sampling of their salads and a sandwich. They threw in a pork tostada as a bonus that did not disappoint 😍 Great service and delicious food, we will be back!

Café Carambola is a hidden gem in Idaho, celebrated for its exceptional food and friendly service. The Cuban sandwich and tamales remain popular favorites, with many customers raving about their flavors. Recently, the El Mexicano sandwich has garnered praise, with diners calling it incredibly tasty and craving more. This unique restaurant offers a small, family-run vibe, making it feel special to visitors. Customers have enjoyed fresh tacos, quinoa salads, and the to-die-for tomato and avocado salad, all made with the freshest ingredients. The owner is passionate and kind, often taking time to share details about the dishes, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. Many diners have highlighted the watermelon & shrimp ceviche and frijoles charros as delicious options. The café de olla (Mexican coffee) is particularly good and worth a try. Despite its small size, Café Carambola is bustling during lunch and is well worth the wait, as many items, including soups and tamales, can sell out quickly. It is highly regarded as one of the top spots for Latin American cuisine in the US, and customers look forward to returning for more delicious options and variety.
