Absolutely delicious. My fiancé and came in because of the reviews and word of mouth and boy, I'm so glad we did! The chicken sandwich? One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It was messy and saucy and the chicken alone had the best flavor. We already know what were trying on our next visit! Definitely go. It's delicious!

Not what I expected since my first love is an enchilada, but the burritos were good (huge - too much for a single meal) and the queso waffle chips were nice. Plenty of hot sauces at your table to sample. If you have mobility issues or a disability, the high stools might prove troublesome. Staff very friendly and efficient. Lovely Piper, at the front counter, was so friendly and attentive. Thank you.

We shared the steak tacos, Elote side. Also tried the chicken sandwich. All the food was quite delicious, flavorful, and authentic. We appreciated the small simple menu. They also have Cali Squeeze Blood Orange on tap- our fave! The only negative in a we wish they had outside seating as we like to dine outside in the summer and also bring our dog. But the food was so good, we will be back!

Best food in Coeur d 'alene! The flavors are amazing and the owner Sam and staff are top notch! ELOTE is unreal and the steak burrito out of this world!

We got the Sonoran hotdog, cheese fries with carne and their Mexican chicken sandwich. It was all really yummy. My husband, daughter and I all shared these plates and we enjoyed everything we got. There is no kid friendly seating at the moment but the owner did say that they’re going to have that ready by the end of the week. 10/10 recommend.

Amazing food, great staff and good value for money. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here everyday.
Also, the owner made a point to come around and ask everyone how their food was. Great guy, look forward to supporting his establishment everytime we are in town or anywhere near town.
Sam is AMAZING!!! We showed up on their first day of soft opening. They weren't even open yet. We talked for a few minutes, and then he invited our family to sit down and offered to feed us early. Amazing customer service. The staff didn't skip a beat. They just jumped in and cooked. Food was outstanding. I will absolutely be back! Stop in and say hi to Sam and enjoy the food!
