Excellent food in a nice location in downtown Idaho Falls not far from the river. Fish tacos are excellent! They came wrapped up, which was new to me.

This was my first time trying Pachangas and it was amazing. Salsa was incredible, our waitress Maria was the best, and so chill. The food was phenomenal and such great portion sizes. We shared a fajitas platter and it was perfect. atmosphere is fun, We will definitely be back.

Love the atmosphere of the restaurant and surrounding area. Downtown Idaho Falls is a wonderful place to get dinner and walk around. Was seated right at the window! Our sever was amazing. Super friendly, helpful, and personable. Our food was great! Some things were better than others. The salsa, top tier! The chips and rice were good too. The beans were not my favorite. The fish tacos were incredible! And so was the beef tamale. Pretty reasonable price for the quality and amount of food we received, 2 meals, 1 al la carte and a desert and we spent about 40. Will be back in the future!

I’ve been here three times, and I will return at least that many more times. There’s so many good options when it comes to downtown, that I maybe don’t make it here as much as I’d like to, but it is absolutely worth every visit I’ve made! Love the chicken burrito. I prefer not to have it topped with red sauce as I’m not a big fan of enchilada style sauces, and it’s just perfect.

First time visiting Pachanga's in Idaho Falls. We went in for lunch. Wasn't terribly busy, as we arrived before the noon hour. We were greeted immediately and a table was quickly prepared for our group of 5 adults and 2 kids. We placed our drink requests and looked over the menu while those were being poured and delivered. I ordered and received their Horchata in a cold mug. It was delicious, and I got a free refill later. We then ordered our food. It wasn't long before our selections were brought to the table. I had ordered their Chile Colorado plate, with corn tortillas. I must rave about this. Such tender chunks of beef, well flavored sauce and a generous, but not too large, portion, along with rice and beans. One of the all time best plates of Chile Colorado I have ever eaten. Atmosphere and service were excellent. Everyone else in our party enjoyed their meals, as well. The kid's chicken enchilada was a hit. This was an excellent lunch experience for us.

What a SOLID meal! All of our entrees were great! (5). the Chicken con Crema is creamy and savory, perfectly presented. The enchiladas were HOT! the salsa (with the chips) is, like, perfect. Savory with just the right 'bite'! Gio is a GREAT server. Very attentive.

I got the fajitas and they were bomb. They are so good and the service was nice. I have been here a couple times but for some reason it is never my first thought for Mexican food but when I go I never regret it. Chips and salsa were great too. The lady brought me two water cups because it was a hot day and she could tell I needed it. Great service.
