We traveled to Caldwell to find out why everyone is raving about amano_caldwell! It didn’t take very long to figure out. Amano is a craft Mexican kitchen that delivers tradition in a vibrant and modern setting. The goal is to provide the smell and taste of Mexico.
From tortillas hechas a mano using heirloom corn, sourced from ancient grains in Mexico; to dishes that highlight the local harvest of Idaho. They offer hand-crafted cocktails made using premium tequilas and mezcales; to hand-crafted beer and wine from the Sunnyslope Wine Region. They also have a brunch Saturday and Sunday, which we are dying to try! 
Start with the made to order guac and Esquites (grilled corn dish) then move to the to the Carne Asada and Braised Beef Tacos - we were astounded at the authenticity of the food and the care of each dish.  Chile Relleno with potato 
cakes was a particular favorite. Located in historic Caldwell, Amano is a lovely addition to that growing scene. Tall ceilings with painted rafters original to the building. Hand painted murals and a brightly lit bar gives it a sexy, moody vibe.

For drinks, make sure to try the “El Amano” - Bourbon drink mixed with their house made Horchata. Also the “El Cantarito” - Brandy, local milk and chocolate. ❤️ We loved our experience at Amano! Highly recommend! Make sure to go to dinner when you’re headed down to see the Caldwell lights this Christmas! Located at 702 Main Street Caldwell. Open seven days a week.
