The buffet food was decent but the options are limited. For $12.99 you get about 3 fresh made tortillas (a person) delivered to your table, a fountain drink and access to the buffet. Buffet included rice, beans, Soap de Fiedo, Pozole Verde Soup (or something similar), a pork and green pepper dish, meatballs with rice inside, and two other things I didn’t have. There was no fresh veggies or any staples like Enchiladas, Tamales, etc. Lots of sauces from 1-5 heat level. Overall it wasn’t much to choose from, and it seems they only make one batch of everything and that’s all there is until it runs out (they ran out of rice when we went around 1230). Dessert is just packaged cookies. Nice Hispanic atmosphere, great staff, just didn’t feel like we got our money’s worth from this buffet.

Really enjoyed the food. I would recommend ordering individual tacos rather than the buffet. There was not a huge selection on the buffet. Only a few taco options where offered on the buffet, but what was offered tasted amazing. Be prepared. The atmosphere feels like you just walked in off the street into a small establishment in Mexico. If you are looking for the chain restaurant decor, you will be disappointed. The service was great. Obviously a family run business.

The NICEST people (I think family) run this place. It is AUTHENTIC Mexican food. There is a buffet, but you just order homemade tamales and street tacos separate so you can have them fresh. And OMG they are DELICIOUS. I love supporting businesses like this, because it’s local, authentic, and amazing food. We were spoiled the entire time we were there. It’s not fancy at all, but you are treated like family the second you walk in the door. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE. If you don’t want the buffet, you can get $1 or $2 street tacos (or other things too I’m sure). I can’t wait to go again. Mexican food is my FAVORITE.

We went for the tacos, which were amazing. The chicken tacos were our favorite, very moist and full of flavor. All of the food was made fresh to order. The service was great, we will be back again!

This is one of my top go to places. Their tacos are great priced and very tasty. I have yet to try the buffet, but one day I will! The buffet always looks and smells so good. Quality food and quality people.

Good street tacos, great price (only $1 each), and even better service. They are always so friendly, and often throw in an extra taco here and there. (We’ve not tried the buffet yet.)

This is a HIDDEN GEM!! They have $1 tacos all day every day! We came In and we’re immediately greeted by a very friendly employee. We ordered our tacos and she made them so quickly and made sure everything was to our liking. There is a buffet for $12 as well but I’m not sure we could eat that much today. This is a great restaurant!

Nope, never going back. Worst mexican food I have ever had in ID. Reviews were misleading. I had the buffet. The ground meat tasted good but was floating in its own grease. The “homemade” tortillas were good, but I doubt trhey were homemade. I wanted it to be decent, the prices set my expecations low. I gave it 2 stars because service was good and prices were good. The lady that took my order said the food was “authentic”, yeah I would disagree.
