“ My pictures are terrible because I was so excited to dig into the tamales. The sauces were great and you can get multiple types when you build your own tamales. I also highly recommend the house sauce. Excellent flavor and a clean and friendly atmosphere! ”
“ Sooo dang good! We walked in and the atmosphere is awesome and the restaurant is very clean. The guy dishing up our food was awesome and explained to us how it worked and what everything was. The lady was very kind to our little boy and was patient while I was taking care of him and trying to pay at the same time. This place is my new favorite! ”
“ The beef tamales were amazing. The combination of sauces and toppings work well together without any item overpowering the other flavors. Seriously will stop here whenever I am passing through Idaho falls. Well worth the slight detour off I-15 ”
“ I will definitely speak highly of the Tamales! I got the pork and beef Tamales and they have great flavor and all the toppings and extras compliment! I got mine to go but I would definitely want to sit down and have a meal at the restaurant! ”
“ We recently heard about this place and immediately had to come give it a try and are glad we did! The food is so good! I love the concept of choosing all your own sauces and toppings... and the flavors of literally everything are so delicious! Love the ambiance inside too (an important aspect to any dining experience). It’s a new favorite place to eat for us. ”
“ We weren’t able to find anything at the farmers market to eat. Everyone was sold out. So we decided to walk down and check this place out. Boy am I glad that we did! The owners were the sweetest and amazing helping us to decide what to eat. Never once rushed us. Their signature rice is absolutely amazing!!! We did the two Tamale build your own. We did chicken and jalapeno cheese with all the salsas. Every bite was so good!!! Highly recommend! They should be super busy! Also try their frost horchata! ”
