Restaurant

Why we point you here

James Beard-charted Mexican cooking in Caldwell, worth the detour into Idaho's Treasure Valley.

Mexican cooking serious enough to earn a James Beard award for Best Chef Mountain—rare recognition that makes AMANO worth building a night around. Caldwell isn't where you'd expect to roam for this kind of ambition, which makes it all the more compelling.
