I haven't been able to find an amazing place that has amazing street tacos. But this place I found just by door dashing and when I want street tacos they are my to go place not only for me but my husband and our unborn daughter! Ladies know me when I walk in and they are always the sweetest! They deserve a 5 star all around! Love these ladies!

We went for an early afternoon lunch and it was awesome! The environment is really appealing and definitely reflects the Hispanic nature of the restaurant. On the very bottom floor they have a stage for what looks like an open mike night or a band. Upstairs is the main eating area. Their menu is nice and simple to read. Once you choose your meal you order at a little window and wait to get your meal! The food was really good and very authentic. I ordered the quesadilla with Carne Asada. We also ordered a side of chips and salsa. The chips are not salted so you will have to salt them in your own but the flavors were amazing. Overall a really fun place with beautiful decorations and themes with great food. You can’t go wrong.

During our idaho trip we stopped and omg... the tastiest and cutest little taco spot. It has 3 floors... tacos on top, bar in middle and dance floor on bottom. Beautifully decorated and the friendliest staff. Plus they'll come down to slc to cater. #tacos #micheladas #birriatacos #aguafresca

Someone recommended this place to me and recommend the quesotacos. They were very good, although I kind of wish I had ordered something else because I’m confident they wouldn’t have been my favorite thing on the menu (I usually order Tortas when I go for Mexican food). I ordered a strawberry drink and they brought it out and it was delicious. Enough to give a 5 stars review. But apparently there was a mix up and it wasn’t the drink I paid for (I didn’t know the wiser) and they brought me out the correct strawberries and cream drink and it was phenomenal. So great service! I arrived a little after 11:30 on a Wednesday and the place started picking up and getting busy right after I ordered.

Pretty good place. I’m always down for an establishment with a unique layout, and this place has it. Good on the top floor, bar on ground floor, and dance floor below. I came in the afternoon for lunch with some coworkers and the food was pretty good and I got it quickly. Definitely a unique place in Idaho Falls worth checking out.

Empanadas & fish taco for lunch were SUPERB!!! What a charming little restaurant with a chef that cares about the food she serves. So fresh and delicious. I cannot wait to go back and try more things. The corn tortilla was the best I’ve ever tasted in my life.

Amazing burritos! The Calakas Burritos is one of the best burritos in town. I would recommend to everyone reading this to give it a try. This burrito packed full of carne asada, carnitas, and adobada. This is a hefty burrito with a lot of meat. I also purchase the Fresca con crema and it was very good too, very sweet. Their sauces are very good, don’t shy away from the dark one, it’s not super spicy but very flavorful and smokey. The current hours for Calakas make it so that you have to stop by for breakfast or lunch, or a very early dinner. However it’s worth it. I recommend Calakas Tacos and Miches
