Taqueria sol de jalisco

It was pretty good, I would eat the birria taco again, but the jus with it did taste kind of maybe, old? or fortified with powder or something? I can't put my finger on it but I would give it another go because the meat was delicious and I love the oxaca cheese oozing out...just the right amount of burndy bits ecerywhere too. I had asked if they peel the lingua and was told they do but low and behold I had spiky tastebuds in my tacos, which, I get it if you like it or believe it is authentic or whatever, but for me it isn't appetizing so I picked those pieces out and while it was nice and tender, it just didnt have that rich flavor I love. I did liove the escobeche with all the food, nice and tangy and the oregano comes through, lends a bit of spice. Salsas were nicely flavored but not much heat at all, maybe you have to ask for hot sauce, we did go through the drive-thru so perhaps there are other choices when you dine-in. I ordered taquitos and got flautas, or at least what I have grown up knowing flautas to be, chicken in flour tortilla, rolled and deep fried. Theyvwere tasty though, and like super-stuffed fatties. One thing I noticed on the to-go order is the care taken to separate the cold lettuce/guacamole/crema from the hot flautas.. usually you get home and the lettuce is a wilted mess so that was a nice thoughtful touch. There weren't many refried beans, maybe about 3 or 4oz with the meal so it was a bummer because the beans had a really good flavor. The rice was really salty though, maybe an off day, but it was fluffy and visually and texturally appealing. All in all, for as high as a lot of the ratings are, it wasnt as to die for as I was expecting, but it was good and the person taking my order was pleasant but extremely brief which is fine but a warm welcome always sets a good vibe. I did notice looking inside the window while I was waiting, that the staff was dressed neat and tidy and the area I could see was exceptionally clean, which is friggin awesome so I gave them 4 out of 5, all things considered. I bet they have good days, and exceptional ones sprinkled in. I hope tto catch them on an exceptional day next time. :)

Not to sure if it was an off day for them or what. I did not feel very welcomed there. It was an order from the counter and I was alright with that. I prefer service at the table but as I stated I was alright with that. What is not acceptable and this goes to the service aspect of grading a restaurant when the gentleman waiting on me seemed a bit rude and just wanted to make my order, pay for it and go sit down. His body language was I was wasting his time. I just about walked out but I decided to follow his instructions. #2 is about the food which the carnitas burrito was very dry with some white rice and a strip of cheese in it and I could only eat half of it and tossed the rest. The best thing was the rice and beans that was palatable. #3 is atmosphere was alright with typical Mexican decor. The man was walking around cleaning the floors and never looked my way or asked how was the food. Not a place I will go back to.

Love this place. Love the decor, the seating, the chip bar, and the friendly staff. This was my first time in, and I'm so glad we gave it a try! The menu is extensive and the gentleman working the counter was very kind and patient as we looked it over, and he gave us a few suggestions. Of course, I had to try their pollo a la crema. We wandered over to the chip/salsa bar and indulged the options. Great salsas, and loved that the chips were warm. Our food came out in fine time & the portions were LARGE. I really loved their rice! It had great flavor. I took my leftover chicken home and enjoyed it for lunch the next day. We will def. be back. I can't wait to try their tacos and other items on the menu. My favorite part about dining in here is the beautiful carvings on the booths. Amazing details.

This was a great place to eat. The food was super delicous and plentiful. We each had the Birria plate. It was super tasty and well seasoned, but not juicy like being freshly dipped in the consomme. I would have liked a more Chile forward and added vinegar consomme. The tamale was great and the chips and salsa bar was a bonus. Service was excellent and food comes out fast. A great go to restaurant.

My family and I always come here to eat when they come to town. My hispanic parents are incredibly picky when it comes to their Mexican food...This is the only place they want to eat now. So, it's pretty good.

breakfast burrito was good. Adovada and asada were good but way too salty. Lengua was chunky and cooked well but not much flavor. Love the grilled onion and pepper and the chips and salsa bar. Very nice people working there and the restaurant is very clean and bright.

The customer service here is excellent! The restaurant is decorated authentic and is very clean and they have the best street tacos ever! They also have a self serve chips and salsa bar that’s delicious! Would definitely recommend.

I've been in Idaho for a year and a half, from Southern Arizona. I've been searching for delicious quality Hispanic food the whole time. I was thrilled to find Taqueria Sol de Jalisco this weekend. The atmosphere is great, the proprietors are awesome and you can really tell esta amor en la comida. Verdad. And hands down the best chili relleno that I've ever had. I'm going again tonight.

Holy smokes these were the best tacos I've had in Idaho! The restaurant has a chill ambiance and so far all the staff have been super polite. The tacos were next level! We ordered the carne asada, tripa, lengua, carnitas and adobada tacos. The tacos resemble Mexican street tacos so they're on the smaller side. They also add cooked peppers and pickled carrots on the side, as well as red and green salsa. Overall, these tacos were bomb and I highly recommend you check them out!

This is the first taqueria in Boise that feels like being in Texas! We had the breakfast burritos and they were generous and delicious! I was able to add onions and peppers to my potato egg and cheese burrito which was so nice! The sulsa bar was varied and delicious. Their mild salsa is to die for. Prices are fairly reasonable too! Highly recommend!!!

I haven't been in a bit. Same dish as last time: #19 Burrito con chile Verde. Observation a little pricy at $14, but the food quantity was enough for two adults. Could useca wee bit mote chile Verde. Well prepared for tomatillo chile. Hot! 6 minutes home and hot! Polite fast and delicious. Thumbs up. I'd love to see a New Mexican chile verde... hint.

Good burrito for the first half, second half was almost entirely rice. I get that the economy is tough and all, but this much rice is insane

We love going were once a week for our barria ramen fix. They add onions and cheese and give you salsa to put in it, so tasty! They have salsa bar inside and service is always great! It is order at the counter or drive through, or you can call ahead to pick up for faster service. Everything is made to order so there is a small wait but it's worth it. The ambiance inside is Mexican restaurant fast food vibes. I highly recommend it!

Excellent Authentic Mexican food at a good price. Easy counter service. Comfortable tables and seating. Clean and pleasant. Looking forward to our next visit. Thanks john

Food was good. however, I walked in and found one gal working the drive through and the front counter while there were two employees sitting, obvious on a break paid no attention to me standing around the counter. I pretty much wanted to leave but I was hungry. After a few minutes the gal running the drive through signaled , it will be a few. Meanwhile , frick and frack are sitting around on their break. I am not used to seeing this which is the manager's responsibility to make them available by staggering their lunches. They sat there because they are not taught to serve regardless of time off. I probably won't be back. Music was loud.

The quesabirrias here never disappoint!! The meat is so tender. The cheese is melty. The meat to tortilla ratio is great! The cheese pull is so good. The roasted jalapeno is tasty. The service here is always great! The restaurant is colorful and clean. My go to place for a good Mexican style meal.

Moved from So Cal to Boise and was determined to find good Mexican food - HERE IT IS! This place is delicious and the service and ambiance are also on point. They make all their food fresh and have house made Agua de Jamaica and Horchata. And the Quesabirrias (like a quesadilla taco with birria meat) oh my. Most delicious I've probably ever tried. Alsoooo tested out the pozole so I can get it in winter and it's 10/10.

Food was very good! Service nice, and ambiance good too. Great salsa choices which I loved. I had the two carne tacos. Both loaded with meat too so I left very full! For that price with rice and beans, I'll definitely be back!!

Best spot in Boise for fast Mexican food. Love the tamales!!!! Staff is helpful and restaurant is clean.

Pretty darn good for Mexican food in Idaho! Love the salsa bar that includes chips. Carnitas burrito was excellent, carne asada tacos were good but I don't think they are using skirt steak which is preferred. Reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again!

Wow. Great food at a solid price. Very friendly staff, and a fun interior. Takes me back to some childhood home cooking. Very good. Will definitely be back regularly.

Great food and great music! The menudo is fantastic. Salsa bar is fire. Thanks for keeping it traditional!

Food is good, staff very nice, salsa bar lots of variety. I will definitely be back. Chicken burrito filled the hole left by Pollo Rey.

this is the perfect mixture of authentic and also not. Their beans and rice are step above and their verde enchiladas are amazing., their pricing is spot on and This last time we just got Carne Asada tacos and they're super simple and super good. I can't wait to go visit them in person

Stopped off here for a quick taco or two but ended up getting the two taco plate with rice and beans. I ordered chicken tacos without onions. I first got myself some chips and tried all three salsa from the salsa bar. Chips were good. Salsas were ok. Most restaurants have better salsa but they weren't terrible. My food came out quickly. I dove into the rice and beans. Again, these were ok, even maybe good, but not great or memorable. Then I sunk my teeth into the chicken taco. This was very good. I had put the salsa verde on it which worked out really well, but even without salsa the chicken was super juicy and tender. The double tortillas were soft and soaked up the juices without falling apart. I really enjoyed the tacos. My only complaint is that they were a tad salty. If the salt were dialed down some, I'd give 5 stars for the chicken tacos. Next time, and I'm sure I'll go back, I'll just get a couple tacos. They give you quite a bit of chicken and unless you're starving or a bigger person or you burn lots of calories, two tacos definitely would hit the spot I think. With tax it's less than $5, and quite a bit tastier than the Taco Bell next door.

I really really really wanted Taqueria Sol De Jalisco to be our go-to but it was too good to be true. After wine tasting, we were hungry and decided to stop by. My wife is from Mexico and really should open her own restaurant. My brother used to live in San Diego and now lives in Phoenix. I on the other hand have been to Mexico countless times and have eaten Mexican in full carnivore mode as well as in my current vegan mode. The service was okay and the team was willing to make me a veggie burrito without cheese and sour cream. The chip and salsa area were okay. Nothing spectacular as I was hoping that there would be some spice in the salsas but only the dark red one had just a hint of cumin and garlic it did need a little more salt. My wife ordered Tacos Al Pastor but received Carne Asada. There were no cilantro or onions on the tacos, they arrived plain. The menu is pretty big and I would recommend parring it down and focusing on key menu items and perfecting them. Perhaps I am asking for too much but really what I am asking is for authenticity, and in my opinion, Taqueria Sol De Jalisco doesn't have it.

This restaurant was not just bad. It was worse than that. The carne asada was like shoe leather and even less flavorful...the horchata was awful. Tasted like cleaning fluid. The fish tacos were terrible too. Nothing was good and to make matters worse it was very expensive. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemies

Great service. Food is pretty good for this area, it's hard to find good good Mexican. All in all fairly good food. 4 star review.

Pleasantly surprised with this recently opened business. It replaced a Mexican restaurant that had been closed for over a year. It is located between Taco Bell and Shari's at the intersection of Chinden and Glenwood. There is a drive-thru but we opted to eat inside. The perfect place for Idahoans. For more accomplished patrons who have experienced the better cuisine of Mexico in either California or South of the Border, there are two meals of special note. SUNDAY MENUDO with handmade tortillas. EVERYDAY - 3 quesobirria tacos with consome. Additonally, there are two classic choices for a shrimp dinner - hot like the devil or garlic. For those stuck in the Gringo lane on the menu, there are Carne Asada Fries. The process is to order at a counter, pay for your meal, then seat yourself and wait for your number to be called. You pick it up from the counter. There is a nice salsa bar complete with marinated carrots and self-serve tortilla chips. Nice selection and very tasty stuff. We had the flautas and the roasted chicken. The flautas were filled with chicken. The roasted chicken was very tasty with a good marinade, but it was dry. Thick flour tortillas came with the roasted chicken - a plus. Both meals came with very tasty beans and rice. The interior of the dining room has beautiful new furniture and everything appeared to be very clean, even with patrons busing their own tables. Big upside for this place is that the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. We have tried many similar "Mexican" restaurants in the Treasure Valley only to be terribly disappointed with the "Gringoization" and lack of flavor at those places. We have given up on going to places recommended by locals, as so many of these establishments totally butcher beans, rice, salsas and tortillas or swamp the meal with disgusting loads of melted yellow cheese, we were expecting the same kind of slop from this place. (NOTE TO GRINGOS - there is no yellow cheese in Mexico). What we found at Taqueria Sol de Jalisco was an excellent source of "near-Mexican" food that emphasizes FLAVOR. They have a very good selection of bottled Mexican beer. One point to make which did not please us...the utensils are plastic and the paper napkins are too thin. Ownership should think about supplying better than these things in the dining room. For takeout they make sense, but not in the dining room.

We shared the Chili Verde 3 enchiladas plate. It was real good. I loved the self serve chips and salsa! You could tell the Chips were homemade. Salsa was a bit runny but good.

The BEST Mexican food around! This is my families favorite restaurant. The establishment is always spotless, the staff are always super friendly and always right there ready to help you. The food gets to you quick even if they're jammed pack with the drive through and eat in. Their food has never disappointed! The decor is super awesome as well!

I've been through the drive-thru here several times. Their prices are not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for! On taco Tuesday they have discounted tacos, so this is the best time to come for a deal. The service is friendly, the food is great quality. I especially like their chicken tacos. Their salsas can be very spicy! But so flavorful. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area. It's not too far from the fairgrounds.

Always very good. The service is great. Food is great. 10/10 every time. Wish they would open up a sister restaurant that was an actual sit down with more options because they can cook!

If you want really bad chili Reno's go here. They use canned chilies and eggs.. that's it! They don't even rinse the chilies giving that true canned flavor. Lazy, bad, and cold!

I've only ordered from Door dash so not aware of the insides of this establishment but the barria Taco is to die for. Very full of meat and worth the high cost.

I'm so glad I found this place. It has become my go to for Mexican food. They have a little chips & salsa bar next to the soda fountain that you can self-serve when you dine in, but more often than not I just swing through the drive thru to pick something up on my way home. (I love that they have a drive thru!) Their menu is quite large so it can be overwhelming if you're looking at it for the first time, but the prices are pretty good so it's hard to go wrong. My usuals are the carnitas tacos and the tamale plate. They also have pozole on the weekends now! I have been looking for a place that serves good pozole, and am so happy to have found one. It's a fairly large size, so I usually end up eating it for two meals. I am also a big fan of quesabirria, but have found it better elsewhere so I just stick to my other favorites here instead. The staff is always so kind and accommodating if you need to make any adjustments or substitutions. They are usually open pretty late relative to other places in the area, which I appreciate very much. I try to come here any chance I get!

"Taqueria Sol de Jalisco" "Taqueria" refers to a type of restaurant that specializes in tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and tortas; the word originates from "tacos." "Sol de" in Spanish means "Sun of," and "Jalisco" is the name of a state in western Mexico known for its deep cultural influence on Mexican identity and traditions. Put together, the name means "Taqueria Sun of Jalisco." At this restaurant, you immediately catch the delicious smell of warm beans the second you walk in. The smell of gooey cheese, savory beans, and sweet desserts fills the air, with the smell of cinnamon and sugar from the churros and vanilla from the fried ice cream. The authentic Mexican decorations and friendly staff make you feel like you're truly dining in Mexico. To start the night, I had horchata. It was sweet, cold, creamy, and silky. I also ordered a quesadilla, which had warm, gooey cheese, and the tortilla was perfectly crunchy. The homemade tortilla made a difference, adding a warm, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth quality. I finished the night with churros and fried ice cream. The churros were perfectly crisp on the outside, yet soft and warm on the inside, coated in just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar. Each bite was a delicious crunch. The fried ice cream was a delightful treat--it was cold and creamy, with a crispy, golden-brown shell that added a satisfying crunch. The contrast between the warm, crunchy exterior and the cold, smooth ice cream interior was simply delicious there is no other way to explain it except delicious. The vanilla flavor of the ice cream blended perfectly with the rich, caramelized crust, making each bite taste like a little piece of heaven. This dessert was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to finish the night. I would rate this five stars. It was a wonderful experience, very family-friendly, and I'll definitely be going back. I highly recommend it take a look and try it for yourself. The food was delicious, or as you would say in Mexico, la comida estuvo deliciosa.To sum it all up, this restaurant redefines family-owned dining. The food is made with love, and you feel like part of the family when you enter.

Best counter service Mexican food in Boise. Slowly working my way through their menu, but here are the items I've tried and loved so far: * Birria Tacos (braised beef) * Lengua in tacos or burritos * Salsa bar - good chips and many good salsas. The place is always clean, and the service is excellent!

We love this little place! The food is always good abs fresh and the prices are reasonable. A fav lunch spot

Very tasty and friendly! Had the tacos and enchiladas. We both enjoyed our meal and the salsa bar.

Been here a couple times. Every time we come it Is busy. Having the chips and Condiments out is a plus while you're waiting On your food. Everything we haven't tried here has been delicious and taste like authentic food.

This is some really goood mexican food. Like really good, so good it is now my new spot as it reminds me of many spots I went to in Mazatlan. Price, food, service and cleanliness of the restaurant are all done very well. You get free chips and salsa, really tasty pickled peppers and veggies. The salsa was probably my only complaint too, but the pico made up for it. I had their Birria Tacos, carnitas tacos, and my gf had the Sopes. All were excellent! Their carnitas comes shredded and then seared, which I like more then the chunked carnitas. The sopes were tasty and fried to perfection. This place has had a few other restaurants in it before and they all failed. This one will be here a long time if they keep it up!

We just tried this brand new spot. Honestly, it's about 4.5 stars. I ordered several things for us to try and got it to go. The good: The restaurant is clean and inviting. Definitely no frills, but I'm not eating the ambiance. You order at the counter, and pick up the food to go or take to your table. Hungry while you wait? Stop at the salsa free warm chip bar. Help yourself! A nicer selection of meats. To many americanized Mexican joints in this town stick to the standard, beef, chicken, pork. (And let's not talk about cheddar cheese!). This spot has spicy pork and carnitas and is also offering tripas (tripe) and lengua (tongue). They balance their menu between expected items like tacos burritos, quesadillas, with things like Camerones a la de diabla (spicy shrimp), steak bistek tortas along with militas and sopas and others. My to go order had tacos, militas, sopas, and pollo a la crema. Everything was packaged superbly and made it home without mess if any kind! They do offer a drive through, but I wanted to see inside and I'm so glad I did. As for the meat, I enjoyed them all as did my husband. I didn't not enjoy the tongue militas, no fault to the food. I didn't like the cheese with the meat (truly a personal preference). But the meat when tasted alone was outstanding. I usually find chicken through our favorite Mexican food spots to be a bit dry, usually being a type of pulled chicken. Thiers was a bit like this, but was excellent in the taco. They offer a decent selection of bottled beers and Mexican bottled sodas along with a soda machine. The ok: As with almost all our local tries, the rice was ok. The beans were ok as well. Not the best in town, but ok. I found their standard green and red salsa underwhelming not particularly tasty and without heat. Standard for this state, sadly. There is a smooth, kind of creamy looking green salsa on the bar. This has a back kick and is outstanding. Like spice? Stick to this deliciousness. The bad: Really nothing. OVERALL: Polite service (she even remembered me by sight and there were 8 orders come through the counter after mine.). Free salsa and chip bar? Yes! Even while waiting for my to go order. Provided to go salsa cups and if you're u ask a bag to take them home. Win! The bottom line, this new spot is pretty tasty. They do not dethrone the best Mexican in town though. Carniceria Coalcoman off Fairview between Curtis and Orchard holds that title. More meats, almost entirely traditional Mexican offerings. Great salsa bar (sadly no chips). No frills seating. Counter order and they bring it out. But their offerings are the most diverse and not catering to America palates. (Buy three pounds of their homemade carnitas and your half way through making your own enchiladas another day!). The best refried beans can be had here. My daughter gets a side of them every time we go. Plus they offer a nice store and meat counter. BUT, sometimes their hours are restrictive or closed on days we want to eat good Mexican. And now we can come here and confidently know we will have good food, in a decent spot. If you cannot go there, come here. No real downsides!

This building has been the location for numerous fast-ish Mexican food joints over the years. Taqueria Sol De Jalisco has been the best thus far. I am hopeful our community embraces the authentic flavors and reasonable prices. What works? 1) Fresh and authentic 2) Good selection of options but not so many to overwhelm 3) Reasonable prices 4) Free chips @ salsa bar 5) Fresh salsa bar What I would request of Taqueria Sol De Jalisco? 1) Maintain the focus on fresh and authentic 2) Maintain reasonable prices Thanks for the great food!

Great food and very affordable. Had the 2 sope combo and could not finish it. Free chips and great little salsa bar. Please give them your business so they stay around!!

Food is amazing! Salsas are dynamite! You order a bean burrito and it is huge! I love the ground beef tacos and Asada.

Fresh food, great authentic and tasteful. The service is really, and the restaurant is kept clean. The chip bar always fresh, clean and organized. Highly recommend this place. I've had food from the breakfast menu and dinner menu.

Great food service and the portion sizes are great! Definitely go there hungry. I got the speciality burrito and it was good although could use more steak in it.

Best Mexican in the Treasure Valley! The menudo is an absolute treat and the carnitas tacos keep me coming back for more

Food has been amazing every time I've been here. Not to mention the service is great. Nice friendly atmosphere definitely recommend. Thank you! definitely 5 star experience! Menudo with handmade tortillas Tacos de tripa

I've been here 3 times now. The food is good and affordable. It's safe American style Mexican food. The counter service is polite and friendly. The restaurant is clean. Tried several dishes and liked them all. I'm not a picky eater. We will continue to eat here.

Wonderful food and great service. If you've had trouble finding solid Mexican food in the Boise area then definitely give this place a try. Ate there yesterday for the first time, ate there today for the second time, and very much plan on eating there again tomorrow ... it's been too long since have had good Mexican !!!

THIS IS IT! Finally made it to Taqueria Sol De Jalisco. In the span of a week, we have already been there 3 times! Boise was starved for a really good taqueria and this is it! It is the closest thing to California Mexican food, yes I said it, we have found in the Treasure Valley. It's super fresh and everything is super clean. The chip and salsa bar is really good too. My picky 9-year-old who doesn't like anything even loves it!

This place is legit! Beans,Torts n chili renios are Great.. tired of crap Mexican restaurants in the valley! Try this place out.. you won't be disappointed!

Ok, the Tamales are awesome! Yes, this is our 3rd 2 dozen order in like 2 weeks and they have been perfect every time

Food is excellent. The place is clean and well kept. The only possible downside is that you need to go up to the counter to order and pick up your order.

This is our go to spot when we are in the mood for Mexican food and need something a little quicker than usual. It's consistently good and we love going back.
