I went here to attend a benefit dinner and the food was very good and service was very good as well. I would go back again.

Mex Kal reminds me of Texas and all the things I love about a low-key Mexican restaurant.

Ordered Fajitas, Enchiladas, and Tacos to-go for my family. The Fajitas and Enchiladas were way too salty and in our opinion was barely edible.. They denied it was salty and all they offered was to redo the plate or bring the food back, but in our case that would take too much out of our time. Based on that I can't recommend.

Wow, this place has more flavor than you would expect. I eat a lot of Mexican food across many states. This is ranked up there with the Mole restaurant everyone raves about in SLT. The chili Colorado sauce was so delicious and flavorful. The salsa you get with the chips flavors blended so well together. Neither spicy hott but amazing flavor.

We went last night and had a really good dinner. The atmosphere isn't your normal Mexican restaurant which was a very nice change. The entire staff we met were very polite and attentive. My wife had a chicken quesadilla, I had the tacos al carbon. Both were good choices, the quesadilla eas huge.

We were late customers on a snowy night and received excellent service. The staff didn't mind my very active and noisy one year old and didn't so much as frown at her mess.

From start to finish the food was delicious! The salsa was awesome, we couldn't get enough. We had tortilla soup, and chicken and steak burritos, all were very good too.

Good Mexican food for fair prices.I especially liked the salsa - it has a nice heat without the usual overwhelming tomato taste. Service is often confused; they have lots of people that seem quite active but struggle to get anything done, several times we still waited for the menu while others that came after us had already ordered. If you’re not in a hurry, a great place.

Had a great dinner there Sunday evening! Great chips and salsa-free and Queso to start. Then split an order of Marvelous beef chicken and shrimp fajitas. Awesome and perfect service with adult drink recommendations. And sopapias with strawberries and whip cream for a special celebration.
