Diablo And Sons Saloon

The restaurant theme, food and atmosphere all work together toward an enjoyable experience. The service was satisfactory. FOOD: Excellent. Five stars. The fish tacos and the El Diablo Pastor were quite delectable. Servings were on the small side, so get extras or appetizers if you're coming in famished. Their Old Fashioned is pretty standard, but go without simple syrup and it's downright delectable. It has the right spice to accompany the El Diablo Pastor. ATMOSPHERE: Five stars. I mention this separate from the theme because the music was barely noticeable-- just enough to wash out the background noise. The servers and staff were great. My water stayed full, our food was prompt and they were quite cordial. THE REASON: I don't give it a perfect score is that the overall price is a bit steep for the portion sizes. While the food is totally worth it in terms of quality and flavor, the prices are a little steep if you want more than a few tacos (see pictures). Go during happy hour where it's $3/taco and it's five star easily.

The food was excellent, the service was lacking. The host was polite and friendly, but our waitress did not seem interested in providing service. Perhaps she was having a difficult day? It was our first visit. The food was wonderful. We just did not feel welcome and struggled to get a drink refill. That is an issue when the restaurant is centered around spicy foods.

I am tickled to share my experience at Diablo & Sons in downtown Boise. Great location and I tried the ribeye steak. The photo shows it looked great and I was very pleased it was cooked perfectly to my instruction of medium-rare. It had a great grilled taste with excellent seasoning, not too much! The dessert was just YUMMY! Their tacos are great, but I am pleased to say their ribeye was excellent too! The hostess & our waiter were very friendly & accommodating.

I keep reading on these reviews it's been open seating but everytime I have came here I have had to wait to be seated. Food and drinks were on point the first time I came in. Second time the host was kind of being difficult and waitress could have been better with the service. Third time I came in wait times was 20 minutes same host as last time. It was pretty packed asked to sit outside due to having our dog with us then she tells us after we waited the whole time that we could not have him outside with us so NOT PET FRIENDLY at all. Mostly was annoyed because she saw him with us what did she think was happening the dog was getting himself home....? All the restaurants around are pet friendly though and thankfully enough the people who were touring the town with us were good sports. Food is not that great I have tried their tacos very different. Burgers are terrible sounded delicious though. Drinks are alright there was one signature drink I fell in love with but the second time I ordered it the waitress didn't even know what I was talking about. The only thing worth having in this menu so far was the lemon desert cake they have that is delicious! Highly recommend if your wanting a yummy lemon tart cake! Service is not the best here it's very hit and miss. Definitely needs a nicer host since it is the first impression of the restaurant but since she has been there everytime I've went she probably is tired since she probably lives there.
