Whether it’s Tuesday or another work day, finding the perfect taco is a worthy pursuit for any Idaho Falls resident. We’ve compiled a sampler of some of our favorite Mexican restaurants to some of our more out-of-the-box favorites.
Morenitas Carne Asada Tacos
This local restaurant has it all, but there is one item we find ourselves ordering repeatedly from their menu—the carne asada taco. This simple taco, tucked in a homemade tortilla is especially satisfying when paired with one of Morenitas’ many sauce options.

Smokin’ Fins Chimi-Chicken Tacos
You can’t go wrong with any of the taco options at Smokin’ Fins, but we’re in love with their chimi-chicken tacos. Don’t tell the shrimp and mango tacos that we’ve found a new favorite in their next door neighbor.

Pachangas Fish Tacos
The combination of verde tomatillo sauce and breaded mahi is both unique and satisfying, but if you’re feeling less adventurous you will be able to find chicken and beef tacos on the menu at Pachangas as well.

Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant Carnitas Tacos
Pico de gallo and guacamole topped on top of juicy pork and red cabbage make this taco a delicious Idaho Falls find. If you want to make the most of your dining experience, make sure to pair it with an order of sopapillas for dessert.

Applebee’s Grill + Bar BBQ Brisket Tacos
We know this might seem like an odd choice given there are so many options around town, but hear us out. These brisket tacos are to die for with their savory BBQ sauce and onion ring topping.
