Cochinito Taqueria - Hayden

Excellent customer service!! Fine-dining and upscale Taco. All the meats are very juicy and tender. Well cooked! Nice section of mixed drinks. Must try!!

Excellent food and customer service! Expedient food (better than fast food and you can sit down and enjoy!). Excellent flavors and many choices. Have taken 5 of my 7 family members here and all have loved the food. Birria torta (or taco) is by far their favorite. Their appetizer wings are fall off the bone and flavorful. HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

Service and atmosphere are fantastic. I ordered the duroc pork taco, prawn and birria taco with a side of rice and beans.

From most favorite to least favorite: Duroc pork, prawn and birria.
The birria taco didn’t have much flavor, no wow factor.
The prawn was different and had flavor compared to many other prawn tacos I’ve had. Honestly would have enjoyed it more as a salad. The pomegranate was a nice touch.
The duroc pork was tender, a little fatty and the mix of flavors was delicious. I tried my boyfriends Octopus-Chorizo taco and wasn’t disappointed. If you’re looking for a blast of flavors, try this one. It is on the sweeter side.

FYI: They rotate the menu!

Parking was a little awkward but as long as the strip mall isn’t busy, you should be able to find parking.

Wow, what a find. My husband and I were running around today and happened to be in the area for some meetings. I did a quick google search and based on the reviews, style of cuisine and location decided to give it a try. It exceeded our expectations in every way. First, the ambiance is very M appealing. The bar is beautiful and the s. - including the owner and visionary were impeccable. We had delicious margaritas - Cochinito style. SO good and wildly reasonable! I had the Ceviche Style Ahi & Watermelon Tartar. It was seriously so good I could have eaten 3! And not because it was a small portion. The portion size was beyond perfect and what I thought was an egg yolk on top was actually a mango sphere. Seriously, a brilliant take on a traditional Steak Tartar but with Ahi and Watermelon, so no need for egg yolk but the mango sphere was the perfect touch. My husband had 4 tacos. He was stuffed after 3 but couldn’t say no to a 4th; given it was the chefs specialty. The Lamb Merguez. However, he also had the Beef Short Rib Birria and said it was a 12 out of 10! The Lamb a 10 out of 10. He also got the Carnitas and the Carne Asada. He would rank them the Birria 1st, Carne Asada and the Lamb 2nd and the Carnitas amazing but not quite as impressive yet still an A level for sure. We will definitely be going back and bringing our sons and other family and friends.

We enjoyed this new location in North Idaho as we had previously been to the Spokane restaurant and had a good meal. Think quality and not necessarily quantity when coming here. Let's face it, the tacos are small, street-style. If you're looking for a giant stuffed wet burrito go somewhere else. That aside, the food is delicious and served by friendly employees that are quick with a smile and laugh and provide good service. I had the lamb and shrimp tacos in their combo plate and both were tasty, fresh, and quickly made to order.
