This place is at the top of my favorites in Boise. I had the Idaho Yukon Potatoes with the creamy Cilantro Garlic sauce. These were so good but just know that they carry a kick of spice. I will get these again. Next I had the Special Nachos. These are addictive. Every bite made me want another bite. The Special Nachos have beef in a Mole sauce, white cream sauce, Feta cheese, fresh shredded carrots, cabbage and radish, pickled Jalapenos and homemade tortilla chips. Even though these were spicy, I added Mango Habanero hot sauce and it was outstanding! These Nachos gave me one of the best bites I’ve experienced. This is going to be a frequent stop for me. They are very busy so make a reservation.

A funky take on traditional take on Mexican food. The cuisine tastes so fresh and has a lot of flavor. The portion and quality are both great too. Finally, the customer service was very welcoming and took good care of us.

The tacos were delicious. We were visiting from Oregon and were excited to try some tacos with a twist. These were unique an full of flavor. The “Papas” appetizer was a nice surprise as a highlight to our visit and I’d definitely recommend ordering these.

AMAZING vegan options!! I was feeling like the vegan food in Boise is just ok, but this Omni spot crushed the vegan food. We got the nachos and the cauliflower tacos and they did not disappoint. Also – great service. Very kind & friendly staff. We might be back before we leave town!

Awesome place for lunch! The food is unique and flavorful. We got the Papas as an appetizer, probably the best fried potatoes I’ve ever eaten, super crispy and perfectly seasoned. My husband got the Korean Pastor tacos, which he loved, and I got the Special Nachos, again, best nachos I’ve had. The roja chicken was was so tender and flavorful and the beer cheese sauce was was on point. I also loved all the crispy fresh and pickled veggies piled high on top of the nachos.

Came here for dinner. I got the Shrimp tacos and they were really good. I was warned they were spicy and I appreciated that. They were indeed spicy but not too bad, so the warning was appreciated.

Absolutely obsessed with this place. Went for lunch right when they opened and had quick, attentive, friendly service. The fried chicken app was AMAZING!!! We got the Korean tacos and coffee braised brisket and I wish I lived in boise so I could eat this food frequently. Every single thing on the menu looked delicious. Also the potato side was the best iteration of a potato I’ve had.

So grateful for Funky Taco’s AMAZing vegan options! I’ve been here twice now, and each time I ate every bite. Too few restaurants have clearly marked, easy-to-order vegan choices, and so it’s always awesome when it’s easy to order. Then the have my meal be INCREDIBLE adds to the joy and ease of the experience. My friend couldn’t believe I ate my entire burrito – it’s a substantial size… it was that good 🙂
