The Bear's Den

OUT OF BUSINESS

I dropped by here during Turkey Holiday (aka Thanksgiving) '10 (yes, I'm that slow with catching up on Yelps!).  My friends mentioned that this place was a new Mexican restaurant in town.  I also heard they had quite the tequila selection.  A rendezvous was definitely in the works.

Now, I walked into the restaurant and this place looked fairly dead.  They were vacuuming the dining area, and no one was in there.  I bee-lined it to the lounge:  this is where every one was  (lots of people were watchin' the Boise State game--a game they would eventually lose).  I grabbed a table in the back corner.  

I went with a margarita and beef "street" tacos.  

"Here ya go, darlin'.   Nice & strong," the server said as she dropped off my margarita---I do love the country-speak.  The margarita was certainly decent.

The tacos were tasty as well.  They were taco truck-ish and the meat was very good.  I also liked the sauce they had on the tacos.

This hidden gem was a bit of a surprise.  Who woulda thunk tucked away little bar hidden from the street would be so cool, cozy, and lively on a cold winter's eve.  

Oh, I should also say, that I saw a patio out back.  This would probably be a nice outdoor place to chill at during the summer, fo' sho'.
