Carniceria Coalcoman - Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Boise, ID

I had the menudo and a couple of tacos—the food was pretty good! The place gets pretty packed, especially on weekends. Since it's not a large space, you might end up sharing a table with other people. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Haven't been here in 5 or 10 years. Rather disappointing on those long-ago visits. Today first time back, and what a huge difference! Much cleaner, prices are fair, and quality is on par with the better "authentic" Boise restaurants. Is it LA quality? No. Is it Canyon County par? Definitely. The employee told me the torta is his preference versus the standard benchmark burrito. I'd give it a Boise 8 out of 10! Salsa bar was clean and fresh. $9.99 plus tax for the pork. Can't wait to try their $10 burrito. Don’t know if I would make a special trip across town but if in the area, it’s a no-brainer. The atmosphere and seating is better than Campos if that means anything to you. Nothing else I can add other than Carniceria is worthy of the recent reviews.

So good! You know it’s good when you’re the only white people there. Great rellenos, pazole and we tried all the tacos. Loved the salsa bar too. We have already planned our next visit and what we’re going to order

This is an excellent and authentic taqueria that's located in a modest strip mall. I thought the food was great! I had a mix of different tacos- carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas- and they were all delicious. My friend said his burrito was very good. The prices were appropriate and affordable. There are a variety of salsas and other condiments that were very tasty. The service was friendly, and they have a bunch of different drinks that you take yourself from fridges. There is a small store with fresh Mexican products and a carniceria attached to the restaurant. If you want good Mexican food in Boise, this is the correct choice.

Super nondescript little authentic Mexican store with a kitchen, hiding in a run down strip mall… and we LOVED it!! Carne Asada Burritos were awesome, rice full of flavor. Loved the spicy pico as well from the salsa bar. What a hidden gem.

Very good for their price point. The service was fast. The tamal was very well shaped and the right amount of masa. The carnitas tacos was very very good. The rice and refried beans was tasty but the beans was a bit watery. Over all I would recommend this place to eat at. PS they also have a market with a butchers area.

Listen, I've hit many Mexican joints, especially trucks over the years, from San Diego to Seattle. Bay area to Boston. This place is legit. Dead give away, Mexican groceries are part of the business. And, lots of Spanish in the room at lunchtime. Location. Typical off street lower level strip mall. Low rent type of location. Parking can be challenging Ambiance. Low key. Nothing special. Mom and pop. Sometimes less than clean looking. Food. I started with their version of a quesadilla. Yes I said quesadilla. It's not typical. In fact, when I came I asked the recommendation and they said that. I shied away until they described it. It is the bomb. It is not American style Quesadilla. In fact, it's not with cheese or just very little. Shhhuuuuu. Just order it and eat. Bottom line, everything I've tried is excellent, start with the quesadilla. And again, don't think American style. Bottom line would I come back? Indeed. I'm riding this review and this is my 4th or 5th time. There you go. Enjoy!!

Finally tried this place for the first time today. Wish we hadn't waited do long. Everything was so good. There was a bit of a wait, but that's to be expected when you're serving awesome food! They were pretty packed, but it was well worth the wait. Will definitely be back especially since we luckily only live a few minutes away.
