Tango’s Subs and Empanadas

Tango’s is a local favorite in Boise and offers up some fantastic Argentinian food at affordable prices. While they have your basic subs and French fries, the empanadas are the real draw. The meat-filled saltena is great, but don’t miss out on the dessert empanadas for a real treat!

Mazzah

There is a surprisingly large array of gyro restaurants littered throughout Boise, but Mazzah stands head and toe above the rest. An impressive menu of flavorful Mediterranean options, like Greek hummus and lamb kebabs, draw in crowds and the friendly service makes it a bright place to eat.
