Food Carts! This is the address for The Switchback, which is a newer food truck lot in a residential neighborhood a couple miles east of downtown. There are a variety of food trucks that constantly rotate daily. Recommended are Lime & A Coconut (Thai), Crisp, and Off The Grid Pizza. There is also a cart that serves beer & wine.

This is the epicenter of Boise's tourist area for dining out. Very pedestrian friendly. Lots of outdoor seating. All the food is solid. I wouldn't say that there is any one place where the food is a must have. Here's a couple tips: Pie-Hole pizza has a great deal for slices from 4pm-5pm on weekdays. If you're in the mood for a calorie dense snack, go to Bittercreek Alehouse for their poutine with pulled pork.

This is the place to go if you want tacos with creative, unique flavors. James Beard nominated chef. Definitely a higher price point for tacos but it will probably be unlike an other you've tried. Good outdoor seating and also very close to Lost Grove Brewery.

Beer/Brewery
There are a lot of brewery's in Boise so here's a quick list of my recommended ones:
Woodland Empire - Low-key hangout. Good beer. Can get food next door from Manfred's Kitchen.
Barbarian Brewing - Fun atmosphere. Crazy beer selection. Sour Patch Kids infused beer!?!?!?!?!
Highlands Hollow - Boise's oldest brewery. More of a restaurant and the food is pretty solid. Family atmosphere and sometimes live music.
Clairvoyant Brewing - Neighborhood hangout. Family and dog friendly. Excellent Pilsner.
Western Collective - Very cool interior/decor. Unique beer. Atmosphere can be bro-ey sometimes.
Payette Brewing - Boise's largest brewery. Spacious taproom and outdoor area. Close to the Greenbelt near 11th street.
