This might be the only real Mexican food in the area. Everything I've had here is delicious and full of flavor. The only complaint I have is that that they are only open till 6pm (only till 4pm on Saturdays). I wish they would open a second location in a full-sized restaurant and stay open later. This restaurant definitely deserves to be bigger and in a nicer spot.
This is everything I want: flavorful Mexican food, beautiful and vivacious cantina, and large portions!I had the the pastor burrito with green sauce; it was rich and tangy, with enough spice to loosen the sinuses, but not enough to cause actual fire in your mouth ( or other places). The pork itself was crispy yet juicy. This sucker was big enough for two meals for me... It was huge!Can't wait to go back.

As someone who has eaten a lot of Mexican food in southern CA and in Baja CA, this is the closest match I've found in northern ID. The generous portions of al pastor and carne asada are on point and their carne asada fries/steak fries are just like the California fries I used to get! Some folks don't like fattier meats but I love it and think it adds great flavor. Their beans and rice are yummy too and their salsa is fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!
