Definitely try the fresh guacamole dip . It's the best! All of their appetizers were really good. Nice atmosphere! I will definitely go there again!

Alexis North

Great Mexican food and fantastic margaritas ! Go for happy hour to save some money!

Robert Brown

So glad this opened in Boise.. Been to Ballard Wa location many times.. I always order the steak nachos ... Enough for two .. But sometimes I eat the whole damn thing itself because it's so good

Svend

Talk to Brad (BJ) at the bar , he knows a ton about tequila and can guide you towards something you'll enjoy. Reposado and Añejo are great to savor neat.

Amazing! Guacamole , delicious. Chili Rellenos , incredible!

Megan Paulsen

I had a delicious pomegranate margarita ! The food was tasty, service was good. No complaints here!

Yousef Alsarraf

Their Enchiladas are delicious !! Must try

Mitchell + Palmer

Try the michelada , or as we like to call it, the Mitchellada. It's not on the menu but the bartender will know what to do.

PaPaya

I miss the fried bananas , they were awesome!

Heather Harrington

You need to get the Texas size nachos . Your concept of nachos will never be the same.

Glen D

Guacamole . Chili Rellenos . Margaritas .

Wade Dorrell

They need to use a different oil/cooking-spray: some dishes I've had here (the Texas-sized nachos & the habanero enchiladas ) tasted like melting plastic smells.

Mike Carter

Margaritas and Happy Hour dishes

Blake Sims Davis

Try the Tamarind Margarita ! So good!

Jennifer Mester

Habanero prawn sauce all over the TEXAS Nachos is super yummy

Kiley Zanecki

Happy hour 4-6 and after 10 but only food is on happy hour .

Kevin Churchman

Try Chamucos Tequila . Drinks like a fine wine !

Alex Baxter

Costly and no Bueno. If you want a Margarita this place is OK. If you just want a shot of of tequila skip this joint.

Shea Sutton

Try the chili ! It's spicy hot and yet delicious!

Timm Koetje

Texas sized nachos FTW

Moogi

Happy hour nachos?I do think so!

Bob Hayes

4 pages of tequila . Mmmmmm

Jess Flynn

Hmmmmmm - bacon-wrapped, goat cheese-wrapped jalapenos

Mike N

Best carnitas down town !

Bob Young

It's just OK. I miss the Mexican spices.

Andrew Agalsoff
