  It honestly makes me sad to leave this review. I had the Seafood Enchiladas here before and they were amazing—great flavor and very generous portions. Because of that experience, I came back with my daughter after receiving a $15 off $30 Facebook coupon. We ordered the Seafood Chimichanga, and I was shocked by the size. It was no bigger than a tiny frozen burrito and was almost all tortilla with very little filling. For $24, it was basically a child-sized portion and had far less seafood than just one of my previous enchiladas. We were told to mention the coupon before ordering (which we did). We also ordered queso for $11, which came in a very small dish and was watery and disappointing. If you offer a coupon, don’t shrink the portions to make up for it. The food is already expensive for what you get, and using a coupon felt like being penalized. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning. I do want to mention the service was good, but the waitress was extremely loud. Her voice level was on high. You felt like she was yelling at you. I didn't think that it was that loud in there for her to use that high of a pitch.

  Had a DoorDash order pickup here and was waiting for my food and confirmed with a waitress and she said they were making my order. 20 minutes passed with no help and then they told me they didn’t have my order despite confirming with DoorDash. If you don’t have someone’s order maybe tell them before making them wait.

  To properly rate this restaurant I can strongly use one perfect word "GREED"!!!!!!!!!!! And I will get back to this vulgar word after I address the other key points of this restaurant. Myself and my husband and 5 of our children decided to go eat here on Sunday 01/18/26 while we were visiting Boise, the restaurant seemed clean and had a festive decor, upon being seated by our waitress we noticed a concided bit snooby " who cares" type of attitude but oh well we were hungry! So we ordered a seafood ceviche, a Mocajete, and a sampler platter, when our food arrived it was beautifully plated, as we dug into the Mocajete it was mostly a cheese sauce with bland shrimp and the steak was noticably spoiled even after being cooked, the chicken had a good flavor for $40 as far as the platter goes it had a lot of food for $28 it was astetically beautiful but the flavor was mediocre at best. For the seafood ceviche it was a stagnant mushy fishy plate that was beautifully presented but wasn't the best quality for around $23. So here goes the declaration of GREED! As we left we gave a $8 tip on the table which was less than we would have normally left but our waitress seemed to be odley content not giving service with a smile, as my husband paid the bill it seemed like it was very expensive beyond what we calculated and as I reviewed the receipt right there on the bottom was a added gratuity of $20 😲😲😲 " FOR WHAT" mediocre snobby service with cheap tasting food! So after discovering this I proceeded to ask the waitress karen where this surprise charge was posted and her response was it's in the system and otomatically added she lied , the awful thing is that this restaurant can charge you this fee without even giving notice, and that's why the waitress didn't work hard for her tip because she knew she was going to get a sweendled tip either way and that is steeling ! She didn't even offer to give the cash tip back , even though I wouldn't have accepted it but she was so greedy and so is the restaurant for allowing the servers to set their gratuity she claimed we were a table of " 19 " ma'am you are a greedy thief and your stolen money will come back and bite you! $28 tip , we are never ever ever going back. Waitress KAREN!!!!
