“ I normally don't meeting people for the first time at a seafood focused restaurant, but luckily, this place has a lot of nonseafood options that are very good. And of course, if you like seafood, that's very good as well. They don't list individual street tacos on the menu, they have no problem making them individually. Seafood first- the spicy shrimp Taco Ayuyu was delicious. I also ordered two Asada, two Al Pastor, and two carnitas. All of their tacos were very good. The Al pastor was just a touch drier than I would prefer. And the tortillas could use a little more love, just some more time on the grill. But other than that it was a great plate of street tacos. And the salsas and sauces are great. Chips and salsa has some good flavor, the salsa verde is thick and has some taste to it, the red salsa is just a touch sweet and no burnt chipotle flavor. Very good on the asada and seafood. I was very happy with all their food, and the service was fast and friendly. ”
“ We ate here on Cinco de Mayo. There was a full house, festive and friendly. Hubby and I ate half of each of our dinners, saving the rest for later. We shared a flan dessert. Hubby also had horchata. Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in Caldwell, and we'll keep coming back. ”
“ If you like the out of the way places for great authentic Mexican food, this is the one! We have become almost weekly regulars here. These folks know what they are doing. We have not been disappointed yet. They are always courteous and welcoming. The food is amazing! We have tried several different dishes and all have been muy Bueno! Would highly recommend stopping in. ”
“ Artistic in a Mexican fashion. Good food. ”
“ Super good food! The alpastor is delicious! The tostadas are the best here! Will keep coming back. ”
“ I have loved every dish from here! The ceviche tacos are authentic and delicious. I do not like that the menu prices do not reflect the prices charged. I did notice a sign on the door stating so when I was leaving. If someone is eating on a budget, this may cause problems for them. This place is still worthy of 5 stars! ”
“ This place was amazing! The food was delicious . First time trying ostiones razuradas, and they were bomb . The Fish was so juicy, and the coconut shrimp were mouthwatering. We had sooo much fun there! Really nice place to go to in Idaho. The cantaritos and Micheladas were great! Would definitely go back! Live music kicked everything off! ”
“ Outstanding food, great service, drinks were on point. The seafood was fresh, perfectly cooked, came in huge portions, and was super reasonably priced. We got the ceviche tostadas (SO fresh), Camarones con crema (garlicky cheesy creamy heaven), and the camarones Vallarta (perfectly cooked slightly spicy, also heavenly). My boyfriend said the food was just like his moms cooking growing up A live band started around 6pm which was super rad too. It was a really great experience all around, can’t wait to go back. Took the pics after we started digging in, it smelled too good to wait ”
