Bronco Tacos — Restaurant in Boise

VERDICT: This place is a must-eat for its asada burrito and consomme. Hands-down the best burrito I've had in the Valley so far.

FOOD: This burrito. It's perfectly cooked asada, much like a properly crusted steak from sear, but in tiny (yet abundant) bits. The Mexican rice gently brings an acidic presence of tomato to ease the burrito away from being too savory with its onions. The tortilla has the proper stretch and chewiness, bringing it all together. All the flavors balance well, and the ingredients are all properly seared to prevent too much moisture presence within the burrito. In its own right, it is an excellent burrito, but with the consomme as a dip (a la French Dip style), it presents a whole new experience. The consumme brings out a slight salt and beef richness that blooms the flavors well. (Pictured with the quesadilla. Important note, too, it does not come with the quesadilla or burrito but is an add on.) The quesadilla was well-executed, though, the consumme was what elevated it from a standard quesadilla, not the quesadilla itself.

SERVICE: Quite excellent. The guy was quite charismatic in his own right, but also delivered excellent customer service, cracking a couple fast jokes. He also readied our food quickly and maintained a smooth operation of order-taking and fulfillment. No order seemed held up by customers placing orders and vice versa. My hat is tipped to that kind of operational prowess.

ATMOSPHERE: Truly minor here, as a food truck lends itself to take-out over dine-in, but a small but significant thought could be better shade coverage. The umbrellas are placed reasonably. I won't remove a star for this, though, as shoulder seasons like March/April or September/October, this food truck dine-in setup...

Street tacos done well, tortilla was from the grill, topped with a little bit of onion and cilantro. I tried Carnitas, Chorizo, and Adobada. Carnitas was juicy and delicious. Chorizo was ok, not particularly amazing. Adobada had great texture, but the marinade and flavoring was pretty mild. Unfortunately the salsa verde is SUPER mild heat and flavor wise. The red salsa has some heat, but jalapeños are necessary if you prefer green chilis. I'd say size wise they're 2.2 bites each, so at $3 a piece maybe a tad small. I'll need to go try the asada and...

I went to Bronco Tacos at 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant looking for something that would help kick start my labor. I found the Quesabirria Melt, which is basically their Birria tacos in a grilled cheese with a side of consome dip. I told Bronco Tacos that if this put me into labor I would leave a 5 star review and here we are! This monster of a sandwich was so delicious and hit the spot for lunch. I didn’t really eat dinner that night because it was so filling. No joke at 11pm that night labor started and I had my baby 4.5 hours...
