Declining Quality!
My husband and I have been coming here for nearly 5 years and while consistency was sometimes an issue, the food was always delicious, affordable and very filling. However, we’ve noticed that ever since the owner has given off cooking and serving responsibilities to other individuals the taste and quality of our everyday favorites has steeply declined.
Last night, I got the chicken pirameos (one of my most favorite menu items) while my husband ordered a bean and veggie burrito. Right off the bat it was extremely difficult to make an order with the two newer ladies that were taking orders and cooking last night (we’d never seen them before but we don’t come here as often due to distance). I understand that this is a Mexican establishment and that they may even primarily serve their own community but it would be nice if there was someone that understood and spoke English fairly well as orders usually end up coming out wrong and making an order has become even more frustrating.
The chicken pirameos were some of the worst ones I’ve had from here yet, and that says a lot because they’re always SO GOOD. The chicken tasted quite old and was hard (like dry) in multiple areas. The onions inside needed way more cooking time as they were still on the raw end. The overall pirameo wasn’t as cheesy as it usually is and came off dry, with the chicken pieces falling off as I ate it (hardly ever happened in the past). There was also hardly any mozzarella (and chicken) inside and the pirameo bread which I always look forward to needed way more time on grill or skillet, whichever makes it come out nice and golden brown and slightly crispy. Otherwise it came out doughy and extremely mediocre. On the brighter side, my husband’s burrito wasn’t that bad but he did mention that the avocado wasn’t as good. They also didn’t placed the sautéed onions and pepper on the side like they typically do.
I hope the owner or whomever operates their Google page can review this matter and make necessary changes because this was my most favorite Mexican spot to eat at. It’s very unfortunate because I know that when the owner would make the food himself, it ALWAYS came out amazing.

This is approx my 6th taco truck to review in the Boise area as it was close to home and it opened at 10:00 am which was a plus. I ordered the carnitas and the Al Pastor street tacos and enjoyed sitting outside on the lively pick nick tables. They had then ready pretty fast and brought them on a plastic tray which was a nice idea. The carnitas taco was very tender but it needed a bit more spice and crispness and the Al Pastor street tacos were the best I have tried so far. The man and the lady were very pleasant and the price point was 2.50 per taco so they were very reasonably priced. Go support this lovely taco truck here in the Boise area.

Best Mexican street tacos for your buck right here! The food is always hot, flavorful and delicious. They are always kind and welcoming. Just remember that they only take cash so have your bills ready.

I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed this place before and I don’t know why. It’s near my house, so eating there could be a matter of convenience, but it just isn’t, because I’d drive an hour to eat it! Very fresh and consistently delicious, El Chavo delights every single time. My only complaint is that they are cash only and I NEVER have cash. Probably good or I’d give them all of my money. I highly recommend El Chavo, if you haven’t tried it, do it asap. The shrimp salad is amazing, the fish tacos are my favorite, and I’ve heard great things about the pork tacos. Worth every cent and very friendly owners. 10/10 every time.

This has become my go-to “taco truck,” and I called it that for a reason. It is a taco truck, and well, after several years in San Diego County, the roadside trucks were the best. You got that here. I’ve eaten there now about 4 times, and I’ve yet to be disappointed with the flavor and authenticity.
Today I ventured and grabbed the Gordita, YUUUMMM. The presentation wasn’t the best; the top portion was cracked and made eating it difficult and messy. But it was delicioso. Loved it and will continue to go back. AUTHENTIC south of the border taste.

Tacos stacked on tacos. Huge carne list. Al pastor was ok, carnitas was very good (my favorite), chorizo was good and the Chicharrones was spicy and fatty. Good little taco truck with a large menu. Priced well and they have two good types of salsa verde. Both with great flavor. The one called Diablo has a bit of heat to it. Great place to grab some lunch.
