Pelonas Street Tacos & Carniceria — Restaurant in Idaho Falls

I’ve heard a lot of good things from this place, so I was surprised to be treated with a lot of attitude while asking a question of clarification. The menu is very crowded and can be hard to understand when it’s your first time going, so I asked about pricing for clarification and was met with a rude response about how the prices are on the menu and are clear to understand. My friends who ordered separately also were met with a lot of attitude. Idk if the worker/owner was having a bad day or something, but It was very alarming when I was unexpectedly met with such attitude when I know I came in with a very respectful one. The food was fine, but definitely overpriced. No way a single taco should cost $3.75. $2.50 at most is what they should be costing. Then to make things worse, the tacos weren’t even very filled with meat. The worker mentioned that they’re regular sized tortillas but they were filing it like they were small tacos. Not even to mention that the fountain drinks are $4.00 and the additional consume is $2.00 rather than coming standard with the birria tacos. I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants and have had amazing food and a lower price and with such a great attitude and service. I’m sure I would have enjoyed the food more had I not been left with a bad taste in my mouth from the owner at the...

We ordered the birria tacos, the consome sauce, and two huraches. I’ve heard amazing things about this place, mainly about the birria tacos. I imagined the birria tacos being tasty and gooey with cheese. I was excited to finally go. The waiting from ordering to getting our food was 45+ minutes. Unless the food is absolutely amazing, that’s just too long of a time to wait in my opinion. The tables are much to small to sit at and the chairs are the metal wire sided chairs. They are not very comfortable to sit in, which isn’t usually a problem, unless you have to sit for 45+ minutes. The meat in the birria tacos was amazing, they had great flavor and great texture. The consome sauce was very tasty and very hot. The birria taco shells were not warm, they were like when fried food has gone cold. This also made the shells were also very hard. The cheese that was inside the tacos, was melted at one point, but has since harden again. No gooey cheese. I have never had huraches before, so I didn’t know what I was getting into. The meat on the huraches was good, but the huraches seemed bland overall. There are sauces to dip your food in and they were good. If I were to go again, I would probably go at a strange time so the wait isn’t so long. I also would not get the signature birria tacos, but try a...

Not bad.

I was very excited to find a spot in Eastern Idaho that serves up birria tacos. Unfortunately, I can't say I loved them. They were good enough to satisfy the craving but not something I would go out of my way for. The birria meat was tender & fairly tasty. However, the tacos were fried in a way that made the tortillas have an almost stale-like texture. It wasn't crispy in a good way...more like hard to bite. The consome was severely lacking in flavor. I added some lime and that made it slightly better but still not great. I also ordered asada tacos, which I probably prefer.

You know what was absolutely delicious? The whipped orange drink (found by the soft drinks). Definitely recommend.

The pricing is fairly expensive for what you get. Of course, I am very used to getting my tacos in Vegas/Southern California so I may be a bit biased

The interior was very clean and well managed. The staff was nice & efficient. I walked in on a Wednesday evening & didn't have much of a wait.

Overall, it was a "average" experience. I'm hoping I can find something on the menu that knocks it out...
