" I visited Basilios Tacos for the first time and was truly impressed! The tacos were bursting with flavor, particularly the al pastor which was some of the best I've had in Boise. The staff was friendly and efficient despite the long line. I did find the prices to be a bit steep for the portion sizes, but the quality made it worthwhile. Overall, I would say it's a hidden gem for taco lovers in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by on a whim and decided to give it a try. Honestly, I didn't find it to be worth the hype. The tacos were okay, nothing to write home about, and the portions were small for the price. My friends enjoyed their orders more than I did. The atmosphere was fine, but I expected more authenticity based on the reviews. I probably won't return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the tacos here! The meat was tender and cooked to perfection, rich in flavors that brought me back to my roots in Mexico. The staff was friendly and helped me choose the best options for my taste buds. I felt welcomed and would definitely return for more! The only downside was the wait, but it was worth it for the quality I received. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best taco truck around! The staff is super friendly, and the food is always flavorful and fresh. I love the way they prepare their carne asada—with a nice char that gives it an excellent smoky flavor. I've been coming here for years, and while prices have gone up, the quality remains fantastic. I genuinely hope they continue to be around for years to come. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Basilios, I leave satisfied. The tacos are consistently good, with the right amount of seasoning and a good variety of meats to choose from. The service is usually excellent, but I've encountered slow times in busy rush periods. Still, I think their food quality makes up for it. My favorite are the lengua tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an average experience here. The staff was alright, but not as welcoming as I would have liked. The food was decent but the portion sizes definitely vary. Hoping for better next time because I’ve heard such great things about this truck! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been on a quest for authentic Mexican tacos since moving to Boise, and I finally found my spot at Basilios! The tacos are just like what I had back in California, especially the cabeza. Each taco is packed with delicious meat and the salsa is just spicy enough. I waited a while for my order, but it was worth it to taste such authentic flavors. It's a bit pricey for a taco truck, but I'll definitely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)
