Where To Find the Best Tacos

One of Nampa’s most beloved taco trucks is celebrating their new storefront location in Boise this week. But not everyone is happy with the move. We’re revisiting a chat host Emma Arnold had with taco-aficionados Evelyn Avitia and Rebecca De León, who argue Boise has a long way to go in the taco department. Plus, we learn about where to get the best authentic tacos in the Treasure Valley. 


Want to check out Birrieria Garnacha Que Apapacha’s soft opening at the Boise Spectrum Center? Tacos and other birria specialities will be served 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. at 7709 W Overland Road, Suite 120 on Wednesday, Aug. 16.
