Reviews for California Mexican Food in Boise, ID
This is my Fast go to for Mexican eats. Service is great even though sometimes they can't understand you at least they try. The... food is getting dry though, could be the time I went or I don't know but I know when I bite into a Carne asada it shouldn't bedry, or beans and rice on the crispier side. The Salsa bar, I recommend having covers for them. Like any public place there areflies everywhere. Read more
The best Mexican food in Boise. HUGE SELECTION AND PORTIONS. Reasonable price for everything.
The good: the carne asada meat was some of best I have had. It was actual cut up steak not the ground up super chewy... rat-intestine-resembling stuff you get at some taco trucks. It was flavorful and really tender. Only one to two pieces of fat inthe carne asada fries and burrito combined. The burrito was amazing. Really greasy but hot and cheesy and had amazing flavorthat you could taste the spices in. The price was really cheap. We got carne asada fries, enchiladas, a side of sour cream, andthe California burrito with 2 drinks and it came to right under $25. The salsa bar had lots of options rangong feom mild to sospicy I had misty eyes. The carne asada fries were in the middle. Plenty of guacomole and sour cream, good fries, but thecheese was just shredded unmelted cheese and kinda blah. Not super flavorful but not bad per say. The bad: this is my biggestpet peeve with fast mexican food like here and los betos but the cheese enchiladas were cold inside. The cheese was completelyunmelted inside which I cant stand. I would even prefer it microwaved a few seconds just to melt it than barely warm shreddedcheese. The enchilada sauce tastes like tomato sauce with garlic powder and chili powder. None of the beautiful roasted peppertaste to normal enchilada sauce. Just very bland all together. I ended up cutting it up mixing it with salsa and tossing it ontop of the carne asada fries You get what you pay for. The burrito was outstanding but I probably would just go to a regularmexican restraunt if I was craving enchiladas. Not terrible but I wont drive over 45 minutes to go try there again. Read more
Typical fast Mexican food, but the fresh salsa bar and the habanero salsa are amazing. They have a wide amount of meat choices... including cabesa. As an odd bonus they have free coffee. Their fresh crispy beef and chicken tacos are incredible. (They aren?ton DoorDash etc because they need to be eaten fresh). One of the few 24hr places around and a great go to for some quickMexican food. Read more
Amazing! Great food great prices! The burritos and tacos are larger than anywhere else and their prices are 2-3 dollars cheaper... on everything! Their fresh salsa bar is always stocked with 6 different salsas and your classic pickled jalapenos and carrots.It's always clean and the staff are diligent and hard working. Did I mention their tortillas are thin and crispy and fullyloaded! They even offer complimentary hot coffee in the mornings. Try this place if you haven't already you won't regret it!I'll update this post with photos when I eat there again tomorrow! That's three times in 2 days for me! Yummm! Read more
If there?s a West Coast Mexican joint in the area, it?s pretty much guaranteed I?ll find it. I really enjoy having a breakfast... burrito for supper, and this place stepped up. My only gripe was I ordered a bacon burrito, but when I got back to my hotel Irealized they gave me a steak burrito. Even though it was wrong it was still pretty good. Looking forward to visiting againsoon. Read more
Every time I order something here the order is always wrong and they will also not give you the receipt unless ypu wait 5... minutes and ask. Today I ordered a number 13, the cashier also asked if I wanted flour tortillas which I said yes. After I gothome I opened my food to this, all the ingredients with no tortilla. My roomate also ordered the same thing which he receivedthe correct tacos but also no beans. I literally cannot comprehend how this always happens. More than likely won't be goinghere again, Los Betos is always better in food quality and has yet to get my order wrong. Also don't bother calling their phonenumber, I called multiple times to the point where Verizon has to tell me to call again. This company is very poorly run. Read more
Last time I ordered the ice cream, the shell was burnt and bitter tasting. I thought maybe it was just a bad batch. Well, we... ordered it tonight and again the shell was overcooked and bitter. It's inedible. You will need to preface your order that you donot want a burnt shell and to bag the ice cream separately because they placed the ice cream at the bottom of the bag and placedthe hot meals right on top of the ice cream, so when we got home, the ice cream was a melted mess. So if you don't want meltedice cream with a bitter and burnt shell, then you'll need to go somewhere else. Read more
