La Casita Mexican Food owner Marcial Mejia has won three Best New Entrée titles at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. Check out three of his top-selling meals in the video above.
BLACKFOOT — The “Feeding Frenzy” is kicking off at the Eastern Idaho State Fair, and this year, we’re back with a visit to an all-time fan favorite: La Casita Mexican Food. Owner Marcial Mejia has delighted fair-goers with his delicious, authentic Mexican food for 21 years.
The three-time Best New Entrée award winner boasts an extensive menu guaranteed to satisfy your keenest Mexican food cravings. La Casita owners promise to deliver maximum flavor and incredible portions at affordable prices every time.
Mejia presented three of his top dishes to EastIdahoNews.com at the fair on Friday.
Carne Asada Tacono
For a portable Mexican meal in an American waffle cone, try the Carne Asada Tacono. This yummy twist on a classic ice cream cone comes packed with carne asada, pico de gallo, sour cream and fresh lime.
Spicy Pork Paradise
Second, Mejia shared his favorite, the Spicy Pork Paradise – corn tortillas packed with piping hot spicy pork served with rice, consommé, onions, cilantro and lime. The tortillas dipped in the consommé sauce are exquisite!
Gourmet Stuffed Nacho Bites
Finally, Mejia recommends this year’s newest entrée, the Gourmet Stuffed Nacho Bites – corn tortillas cut in half, folded and filled with carne asada, shredded Monterey cheese and jalapeños. The nachos are covered in sour cream, guacamole and sauce with a side of beans.
“It kind of explodes in your mouth,” Mejia said.
Located at the back of the food court across from Pick Me Up, La Casita’s is one stop at the fair you won’t want to miss. Check out their other delicious offerings – including cheesecake, strawberry or banana chocolate kabobs for dessert!

It was a rainy week with intense showers passing through the Treasure Valley. Sunday is expected to be clear but cooler weather and more precipitation is on the way.
I got to capture a phenomenal rainbow coming into the station today after some of the rain we saw on Saturday clear out.
The start of this wee will see some more rain on the way for Boise. Twin Fall will see their precipitation arrive between Monday and Tuesday with chances of rain snow/ mixes and possible accumulation.
A cold front will move in this week dropping temperatures. 40’s will turn into 30’s for the Magic and Treasure Valley’s. Mountains will expect a cool down as well. Thanksgiving is looking like a clear day though for most parts of Idaho.
Colder is coming this week, make sure to bundle up!
An Idaho teen is behind bars after a dead baby was found in a hospital drop-off box meant for the anonymous surrender of newborns.
Angel Newberry, 18, was arrested in Twin Falls more than a month after medical officials found the dead baby girl wrapped in a blanket with her placenta still attached in the Safe Haven Baby Box at the Grove Creek Medical Center in Blackfoot, authorities announced Friday.
“The Safe Haven Baby Box is intended to safely and anonymously allow custodial parents to surrender a newborn under 30 days old without legal repercussions, provided the child is unharmed,” the Blackfoot Police Department said in a social media post.
“Unfortunately, the placement of a harmed or deceased infant is not protected under the system of Idaho law.”
Hospital staff immediately responded to an alarm on Oct. 13 indicating a baby had been placed in the box — making the disturbing discovery that the newborn had been dead long before she was abandoned, according to Safe Haven Baby Boxes.
Idaho law only allows for the surrender of an infant who is unharmed.
“We are heartbroken,” Safe Haven Baby Box founder Monica Kelsey said last month.
“Let this be clear: this is an illegal, deadly abandonment.”
The accused teen was charged with failing to report a death to law enforcement officials and the coroner, police said.
Additional charges could be filed as the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the baby’s death is ongoing.
She is being held at Bingham County Jail.
