Mexican Restaurants near Cedar Hills

“I was really impressed with two of the workers. I wish I knew their names but they went above and beyond to cater to my groups needs. Their grilled chicken was really good!
They also were willing to help with having points sent to the wrong account.“

“Excellent! First, attended quickly, and when got to the window, the person at the window was great, friendly, even smiling which would be hard for me for a whole shift unless it was purposeful, and the way they want to be. Very cool and that reflects well upon the hiring! Thanks for making lunch great! Also, the ice in my cup was not too much. You know how some places must train their people to fill the whole cup with ice and then fill the empty space with soda? They must not be told to do that here, because it was a reasonable amount. Not too little, and not too much (I hate it when restaurants cheap out on the soda and in those cases I remember!)“

“We have traveled quite a bit in Mexico over the years. Our favorite places to eat are small, home-owned, “hole in the wall” type eateries. Always good food, warm pleasant people and just a comfortable place to be. We found that at El Gallo Giro. No corporate rubber chicken sandwiches here. Drop by for a fine meal and a touch of Mexico. I don’t think you will be disappointed…“

“amazing food, great service.“

“Such amazing food. The service was amazing. The young man was so kind and helpful with us. The food truck has a hand washing station which is awesome because the food can be messy. They said they custom built it just for us customers. The seating area was shaded and well ventilated in the heat. Loved it!“

“We took a group to the Holy taco for lunch today. We were served quickly, and the food was delicious! We had the gringo and the taco. Both were as authentic as I have ever had. wonderful, friendly family atmosphere. Will definitely be coming here again! Would recommend highly to anyone who wants authentic Mexican cuisine.“

“The menu is small but amazing and beautifully presented. The food is very fresh and full of flavor. Really attentive and kind wait staff. Premium local meats and chicken and wonderful fish (offerings change). Flavor combos are excellent. Noisy. We try to eat there after the lunch crowd leaves. Closed from 3 to 5.“

“First off. I fly here from WA to eat the fries burrito. My bf came with me and there was hair and METAL in his food. They are throwing their meat out right now but I’m feeling additional compensation is required. It was not a thin piece of metal (it was roughly paper clip looking)“

“First time visiting and I will definitely be coming back! My husband came by Don Joaquin's a few days ago and couldn't stop raving about it so I decided to join him there for lunch today.... let me tell you that I am so glad that I did! The restaurant is spacious, clean and they have some freezers with Popsicles, paletas and ice cream bars and fried doraditos by the ordering station. Menu is simple but sometimes that all you need right? I got the gringa combo, which has 3 tacos (al pastor, chicken and asada) with a drink and my husband got an asada burrito with a side of rice. I also got a slice of strawberry tres leches cake which was stellar! Every single bite was lovely; everything was flavored so well and was fresh! Definitely recommend if you are in the area - you won't be disappointed!“

“Their mixed tacos are amazing! Highly recommended!“

“Loved it great service and food!!“

“Fui al de Springville ase unos días y siempre todo está bien y la cajera en la mañana bien buena y siempre con una sonrisa pero ese día fuimos en la tarde después de las 6pm y fue un error. Los que están en la tarde se ven que no les gusta el trabajo y un muchacho creo que se llama Iván en su cellular ignorando mi pregunta. Mi esposo también no le gusta ir en la tarde por que no tratan bien a la gente. Necesitan una clase en cómo comportase con la gente. Nunca más regresamos en la tarde.“

“😍😍😍😍…………………………………………………….“

“The food was so good the first time, we drove 30 minutes the next weekend for another taste! The Chili Rellenos is incredible and the tamales are the best I’ve had not sold in a parking lot. I would post photos but I can’t resist eating long enough to snap one. As another testimonial, my very picky 6 year old ate their kids quesadillas.“

“We waited to try it when it opened and I’m sad we waited so long. The staff were friendly, fast, and helpful. The food was fresh and delicious. The best chili relleno I’ve ever had. I also love the salsa and warm refried beans served with chips. We will be back! Best Mexican food in Utah County!“

“Best tacos ever! Brings me back to Mexico.“

“fast fresh authentic best Mex 😊“

“Been our favorite choice for good Mexican food for several years now. Street tacos are the best--flavorful and fresh. We love the VIP Street Tacos & order them nearly every time! Attentive friendly servers, tasty food & great value for your money.“

“I really like their smothered burrito with pork sauce.“

“Lo mejor k e comido regresaré al molcajete mexican food en orem“

“When we first came to Utah in Aug 2020 we asked around and most people said there were not many good Mexican restaurants on SLC. Being from Southern California we know good Mexican food given the large Latino population. When we got a recommendation for El Gallo Loco, in Sandy of all places, we were skeptical but decided to go check it out. The words AMAZING do not even describe it. Alberto is super nice, friendly, and really helped us to pick dishes we thoroughly enjoyed. He is super humble about the place, and really took the time to find out what types of food and flavors we liked, and made recommendations which did not disappoint on any level. Their Tortilla soup is hands down the BEST we have ever had, and we’ve had a lot. Their chicken - WOW. Marinated and tender in any dish - tacos, burritos, fajitas - even just the chicken. They have 3 authentic salsas - the green sauce on burritos is so good we thought about it all week !! Chips are perfect - not greasy at all. Good range of drinks, beer, wine , margaritas and even horchata - if that’s not authentic I don’t know what is. This is one of our GO TO places for sure.“

“buena comida recomendada si señores“

“My absolute favorite Mexican restaurant for over 10 years!“

“always affordable and filled w any type of meat you can think of!“

“We have loved Cocolitos and their family since they were over by Harmons over a decade ago! It's the best Mexican around, and I love that it's a family owned business. Chips are made in house.“

“The food is really great! Worth driving for.“

“I grew up on taco amigo! love their fries and fry sauce.“

“A student I was driving with said she previously worked here for her aunt. Since I ❤️ Mexican food, decided to give it a try. We all got Alambre, the Friday special and it was DELICIOUS. We will definitely be going back.“

“I stopped here on my way to Sun River Nursery. They made street tacos for me, and they were absolutely delicious! I loved each of them - full of flavor, tender meat, excellent tortillas!“

“It was catered for my daughters birthday and the food was so good got queso birras, rice, beans and got some agua fresca on the house 10/10 would recommend 🙏🏽“

“First time trying this place since the name change, Both as a Dasher & as a customer. I have to say the staff are awesome, very friendly and helpful (unlike some other places I have been recently) We ordered a Shredded Chicken Chimichanga, a California Burrito, a Habanero Burrito, and a side of rice. The food was served very promptly, hot and well presented, and we all agreed that it was absolutely delicious. Both of the Burritos and the Chimichanga were packed full of meat and flavor, Not like a lot of these places that pack them full of beans, and a few chewy bits of tasteless meat. They even put a bag of Cinnamon chips in with our order, which was a very nice touch. We will definitely be using this place on a regular basis, and will happily collect orders from their restaurant to deliver via DoorDash. Keep up the good work, it doesn’t go unnoticed.“

“Unfortunately they were out of most of their salsas which would have made this food amazing. We waited for over 30 min for our food in the heat which wasn't ideal. I can't wait to go back and try other things and I'm hoping the long wait is an isolated incidence.The asada tacos were so good. We got the biria tacos because everyone loves them, but they weren't my thing.“

“I like this spot. I'd go back again.“

“one of our favorite places to eat. Never had a bad meal or bad attitude from an employees. 😍“

“So friendly and great food, favorite is the chicken green chile salad, which I can't find anywhere else. I wish they'd open a store again in the Salt Lake valley. I'd go more often, but it's a bit of a drive (30 min plus).“

“Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. Food was great. Customer service was very cheerful, welcoming and helpful recommending food. You have to stop by if you’re in Utah surrounding area!“

“DELICIOUS! Excellent flavor, beautifully displayed/served and a fun atmosphere! Definitely recommend! The cabeza and carne asada tacos were super good! The Horchata de Fresas was incredible!!“

“This-place-is- AMAZING!!!! The food is so delicious and authentic. The customer service is so friendly. The atmosphere is gorgeous and very clean. You can’t go wrong with any dish everything is so good. Can’t wait to go back!

Parking: Super easy parking right by the building I never have any problems.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly! They have kid friendly food like ice cream and salchipulpos.“

“The one place to go if you're looking for authentic items from México or other Latin American places.Don't let the small door entrance fool you. The place might be small but they really have a bit of everything.Just give them a shot.“
