The best Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at! Incredible Salsa, the best carne asada tacos (in a Mexican restaurant) I've had. This restaurant is incredibly clean, food is FRESH, prices are right, service was amazing. What else do you say after that? If you're in Mountain Home, Idaho and want GREAT. Mexican food. This is your place.

Exceptional food, service, and atmosphere. Menu has a very diverse range of options. I ordered horchata as my beverage, and it’s the best that I’ve ever had. Proportions are more than generous and to be honest, I felt a little spoiled during my time here. Cannot recommend this particular location enough.

I went there for the first time with some friends and we loved it. We will make this our regular place to eat. My husband had the seafood chimichanga and I had pork enchiladas, we both loved it.

First time ordering from them. I ordered through Door Dash. Hands down some of the best Mexican food in the area!!! I'm extremely picky when it comes to Mexican food as I learned how to cook Mexican food the traditional way from Oaxaca Mexico. That being said, I will definitely order again. Also, it was enough to feed myself and my fur baby and have leftovers tomorrow I added the Jalapeno and white cheese. Will definitely order again! Thank you!!!

Best Mexican food in town. Let me preface by saying I am from Arizona and grew up with good authentic Mexican food. I have lived in the dreaded north for the past 10 years and I rarely find a decent Mexican place to eat at. This place is the closest I have found to the authentic stuff down in Arizona that I miss so much. I am so glad there is a place luke this in town. Also the service and the staff are amazing and the prices are decent.

Great food, great service. Atmosphere is awesome. Get the Cadillac margarita. They bring you a traditional margarita glass and three servings worth including a shaker of more!
