El Tenampa

I ordered 3 taco salads and a combination dinner with sour cream and guacamole. The salads had water in the bowls and were cold. Like the meat was just taken from the cooler to the salad. No sour cream or guacamole. I was so unhappy with my salad i throgh it away. I will never order from them again. Evey thing was cold and wet! Very unhappy!

Food was great but not much rice or beans with our meals like we usually get or chips and salsa. I think they must have been running low on food due to the fact it was Cinco De Mayo. The wait was insane when I went to pick up my order. Since eat in was not an option everything they were doing had to go out the door.. The people there were working so hard and people were getting mad because they had to wait.. I don't much care for standing for over an hour for my order but there is no reason to be rude like some were. Thank you for even being open, we enjoyed our dinner even having to wait!

I truly believe that Eddy is the friendliest person on the face of the earth! Price is reasonable. Portion sizes are huge and the food is authentic. This is definitely a new favorite.

I’m a huge fan of Mexican Food and normally go to restaurants in which I’m comfortable with, but today I changed that. I took my fiancé and daughter into El Tenampa here in Meridian and we won’t be returning, unfortunately. I ordered the standard 3 street tacos with rice and beans for $12.99, Nachos for my fiancé, and a quesadilla and fries for my daughter. The order came out pretty quickly, and the waitress was very prompt with the food being presented at our table. The rice and beans on my plate were very cold as if it was sitting for a while, and my fiancé’s nachos weren’t even melted thoroughly, so she had a bit of waste due to the cheese not being melted. My daughters quesadilla was beyond greasy, to the point of not being edible, or myself being comfortable with a 1 year old consuming it. The bill came to $33.98 for the entire order and I could say that it wasn’t worth it. Unfortunately I won’t be returning.

It was a beautiful day in downtown Meridian Idaho to stop at El Tenampa. I had the creamy shrimp. The shrimp had tails still on them so request them to be removed beforehand if you like. Service was ok, food was good. I’ll come back and try something else.
