$12–$15 burritos and wraps are the draw at Parilla Grill
Past security in the Main terminal at BOI, Parilla Grill is the airport branch of a local Boise burrito and taco spot, sitting in the $$ range with a roughly 3.5-star rating from flyers. Think big rice-and-bean burritos, chicken or steak wraps, and tacos that feel closer to “real food” than the burger and fried-chicken chains on the concourse. Portions run large enough that multiple reviewers mention splitting one item before a flight.
Menu boards usually show burritos and wraps in the low teens, then extra charges for guac or premium proteins, so expect to pay several dollars more than at Parilla’s city locations for basically the same fillings. The trade-off: it’s one of the only made-to-order counters airside, so your food isn’t sitting under heat lamps. Most people order a burrito or wrap and skip sides; one burrito can easily cover a three-hour flight window.
Service functions like a build-your-own line, and that’s where timing matters. At peak banks of departures, lines can slow down because each order is assembled individually, and a few travelers report waiting 10–20 minutes from queue to tray. Regulars keep customizations simple—protein, salsa level, maybe one extra topping—to keep the line moving and avoid missing a boarding call in the 30-minute zone.
Quality can wobble a bit: some reviews praise overstuffed, shareable burritos, while others complain that on certain shifts the tortilla shows more than the fillings. If you care about value, ask them to cut the burrito in half and check the cross-section at the counter. Final tip: build in an extra 15 minutes compared with grabbing pre-made sandwiches elsewhere in the Main terminal if you want Parilla Grill without gate-check stress.
