We have gone to happy hour s couple times now because the food is mouth watering and the happy hour deals are fabulous. They have $7 margaritas with 14 different flavors to try. The Flautas and nachos are lip smacking delicious. It has always been really busy when we’ve gone, so the service is a little slow, but I think it’s because so many people have found this little hidden gem, that they have a lot of people to wait on.

It was raining and my plans were to go to another restaurant in downtown Meridian, but a spot opened up on Main Street and I saw the sign for lunch specials at Las Calveras.
$2 Tacos and side, $10.
1 Taco, 1 Tapa, 1 side $10
Soup & Salad, $10.
Upon entering, interesting décor, lots of black (ceilings, tables, chairs, dark lighting) and medium brown walls with oversize lighted photos, day of the dead theme. It’s probably better suited to Happy Hour or dinner and late night. Since I was a single diner, opted to sit at the bar rather than take up space a four top.
The menu is also a black background with neon and white lettering and with mostly blue and green lighting; a little hard to read and even harder to take good photos as they are also laminated. The bartender brought me a glass of ice water and a rolled up black cloth napkin with hefty silverware inside. Nice points on spending the extra money instead of paper, even if thick, like many other Mexican sit down restaurant do now. I had plans to get a mixed drink, but from what I could tell the margarita at $14 (a little high) would be $7 if I came back later for HH. Then I took a sip of the water. tasted like stale ice cubes and a little off, so passed on having someone make me a blended or on the rocks beverage.
The $10 combo of a taco, tapa, and 1 side ended up being $16 as the side I thought I was getting (Queso Blanco) was larger than a no cost side like rice or beans. There is an extra charge for chips (home made, delicious) but an order is pretty small looking in the serving bowl provided. The taco was street taco size with an abundant amount of steak, but pretty bland. No salsa or bottled sauces to jazz it up were offered. The highlight, which I would order again was the Tapa as a side. It was Shrimp Chorizo Skewer with sliced chorizo, Patagonia Shrimp (by the way, Fred Meyer sells these in the meat market and they are wonderful grilled or added to pasta) topped with a tomatillo chile creama and Tajin. My photos turned out dark, however the topping much thicker, like a paste and darker than the photos I found afterwards on Yelp.
Might try again for Happy Hour, but headed back to my usual Mexican restaurants for lunch.

Best happy hour in Meridian! Kayla always greets us with a smile right away. We don’t even need to tell her our order, she’s always takes care of us!

Overall we had a good experience at Las Calaveras. The service was great, our waitress Sophia was very helpful and prompt! We only had appetizers and drinks but they were really flavorful and unique. We had one taco which was underwhelming compared to the apps. They have a large covered outdoor patio which would be great in the summer! We made a reservation for our visit but still had to wait 15 minutes for a table to be available. We will be back to try more of their menu.

We ordered the Barría flautas and fajitas (steak and chicken.) The flautas were larger than expected (served with 3) and the jalapeño cilantro dip had just the right kick. The steak in the fajitas especially was super flavorful. I enjoyed the use of nopales in the vegetable mix, it was perfectly firm. Note: pictures are halfway though our food!

For my Galentines with my friends, we decided to hit up Las Calaveras. We have been to quite a few spots in Boise for our monthly outings so we wanted to check out something in Meridian. I have heard nothing but great things about this joint so I was hyped to come here.

I arrived at 4:30 and it was pretty chill. There were a few tables already enjoying happy hour and some patrons at the bar. I knew I was going to have a great experience at this joint cause it was already semi busy this early in the evening. Kayla greeted me while I was looking over the menu. I ordered a Coke zero and chilled till my friends showed up.

What I appreciate about the menu here is that it’s reasonably priced. For a joint in downtown Meridian, they totally could have set a high price point. Tacos at 4 bucks. Tapas ranging around 5 or so. Happy hour prices were legit too.

We wanted start off with some flautas and crispy jalapenos as an appetizer. I ordered a cup of their chicken tortilla soup with sour cream and avocado. I also got 2 orders of shrimp and chorizo Tapas to share with my friends.

The flautas are so good! The tortilla was crispy and airy. The chicken in the inside was flavorful and tender. It was topped with all sorts of goodies and creama. The jalapeno appetizer was creamy and spicy. You can taste the salty bits of bacon. The cream cheese did help tame the heat of the jalapenos. They didn’t hold back of the jalapenos, they were prominent. Those 2 appetizers are a must have!

Our second round of food came and everyone’s food looked fabulous! My soup had a generous amount of sour cream and avocado in top. There were hearty pieces of chicken, tomatoes and tortilla strips in every bite. The broth was savory and rich with a slight kick. The skewers I got had good sized shrimp and chorizo. It was topped with creama and cojita. I shared a couple with my friend and had a couple myself. They weren’t shy with the portion of the shrimp and chorizo. I was so full from the soup, a couple skewers and our appetizers. I took the rest home to my daughter and she really enjoyed them as well.

Las Calaveras has one of the dopest vibes to it. The music, the decor, the atmosphere, it’s perfection. The venue is stunning, the food is hella good and the staff is super nice. I took my daughter to a similar themed restaurant for her birthday in Eagle and left so disappointed. I should have brought her here! We would have had a better experience at half the cost.

By the time we left, the restaurant was packed. Packed on a Tuesday night. I can see why it was so busy! Las Calaveras hits the mark. They are fantastic and the crowd proves it. I look forward to coming back again with my friends or my daughter for another round of happy hour. I was dope I got to try this spot out. Looking forward to coming back very soon!

Hands down the BEST Mexican food we’ve ever eaten ! Flavorful & fresh. The fresh chips & salsa were addictive. We had the Fajitas Trio and the SRF y Nopales. The house margarita was made just right. We’ll definitely go again & have found our favorite Mexican restaurant.

Upscale Mexican food that is a must-try! Everything we tried was really good. Our server, Kayla, was on her A game! She anticipated our needs before we even realized them! I had barely thought “oh, I need more water” when she was right there refilling our glasses. Food was served very quickly. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!
