DRUM ROLL! 

At Despo's Mexican Restaurant in Ketchum, you can get freshly made salsa, pico de gallo, and guacamole. However, according to this review on Yelp, you should avoid filling up on the chips and salsa because you'll want to make sure you have the fish tacos.

The next time you head to Ketchum, Idaho, make sure to add Despo's Mexican With Altitude to your list of places to eat. They've been part of that community since 1983 and now have a new covered and heated patio for those chilly evenings. Their food is so good that Lovefood.com named it the best Mexican restaurant in Idaho.
