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.

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!

Food was ok, but not the best Mexican I’ve had in the area, just different flavoring than I’m Used to. Great service. Prices about average

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.

The sea food here is the best that I have found since living in Idaho. Consistent plates that you can enjoy every time. So much flavor
