Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Mmm the most authentic Mexican place I've been to in Idaho so far. (Which isn't saying much because I've been here for less than 2 months. Or is it... as I did my undergrad at San Diego...) This place has that hole in the wall atmosphere where you are a little apprehensive about the cleanliness, highly skeptical about using the restroom, but still can't wait to taste the food. Prices are very reasonable and start at around $6 for lunch for a combo platter. You get beans and rice with a tostada, burrito, tacos, enchilada, or a few more options. The amount of meat was more than I expected inside the taco / enchilada, and the rice / beans were flavorful too. I tried the combo plate with a beef enchilada and chicken taco and guacamole. I got chicken everything, and no guacamole. Service isn't fantastic, but it's 3 people running a small place. The people there were apologetic about it, and didn't try to charge me for it at the end. Many choices of Jarritos (including pineapple), and I think I saw a Hibiscus flower drink. Check out the Mexican bakery a few doors down-- it's great and you get 3 items for $1! I'd review it but don't have the address.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in the valley (I've lived in Idaho for 31 years and tried many recommended by others). This is the real deal. Try the seafood chimi, it's my favorite here. My husband loves their Carne Asada. Maria's fish tacos are wonderful too. Honestly, I haven't had anything I didn't like here.They are a small family operation, mom cooks and her daughter waits tables, well worth the wait, if there is one. Authentic Mexican food here.

Drove to Caldwell just to visit this restaurant. This webpage said they were open. Arrived at 3:30 pm Friday 1/2/15 to find a closed sign in the window. I am not sure if they are still open for business as the building looked dilapidated.

We have eaten at Janitzio's many times over the years once we discovered them by accident. One of the best Mexican restaraunts we've ever eaten at. They have the best Mole I've ever had....their Bistek Ranchero Especial is one of the best things I've ever eaten, and I eat it time and time again! The servers and cooks are all family and are always pleasant and friendly. Service is fast, the place is immaculately clean. I have only one complaint and that is the Carnitas we had recently left something to be desired. But everything else is awesome.

This is my kind of "joint".... Very interesting vibe and friendly service. It's located in Old Caldwell and has a seedy, almost sketchy feel to it. Good vibe... The chips seem to be homemade and perhaps a bit stale? Hard to tell but not super crispy. The salsa a good accompaniment to the chips, not chunky and just a slight bite. I ordered the special which happens to be Bistec Ranchero prices at $11. There is only one gal working the front so it took a bit for the food to arrive at the table. So, if you might want to try this place if you aren't in a big hurry. The food itself was very good. This may be my new favorite Mexican place in Caldwell.

Had the taco & tamale lunch combo. Only 6 bucks and very delicious. I remember when this place was a trading card store when I was growing up, something like Al's, I don't remember. Anyways, good food and cheap, recommended if your in the area.

I have eaten here at least 20 times and have always had a great meal. Try to stop by whenever I am in Caldwell. My favorite dish is the chicken mole.

I was in Caldwell on business for a few days and asked the staff of the place where I was working to recommend a good restaurant. I was intrigued when they mentioned Janitzio, since I thought I remember seeing a very picturesque island by that name when I traveled to Michoacan a number of years ago. Went to the restaurant my first evening here and had an excellent dinner (chile colorado) with great service. The family is indeed from Michoacan, and the owner (Maria) was cooking. I had an extended conversation with one of the family about their journeys to California from Mexico and then to Caldwell. Had to bring the staff of the department I was working in to the restaurant the next day, and it was once again excellent! I'd go there again in a heartbeat, if I didn't live so far from Idaho!

Wandered in this local hole in the wall restaurant based on a few yelp reviews. We were greeted with a big smile and chose a booth to look over the extensive menu...so far, so good. The decor is a bit lackluster but the bright blanket stripe under glass was nice and cheery. This isn't a place where you will find black beans ( I asked if that was an option vs refried and it is not)' but they did have several veggie options. I had a chicken tamale with a side of guacamole and pico (pretty spicy pico:)and my coworker had a beef enchilada rancheros. Although it wasn't a place I would go out of my way for, we both thought it was tasty and fresh (and better than many fast food options in town). FYI since it was questioned in a previous review, I thought it was very clean in the restaurant and the restroom...which made me feel better.

Absolutely amazing. Definitely authentic Mexican. The Arroz Con Pollo was perfection.

I would have given a 5 star IF they served a well made margarita, but they served none at all! Food was excellent, and the Salsa was very tasty. We asked for extra spicy and whoa did we ever get it! We were looking for a place to eat near the river so we could go enjoy the festivities nearby, and glad my wife found this on Yelp. Seriously, the food is amazingly great tasting. Do NOT let the small moderate place scare you away.
