50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Highland

“This place is so delicious! I highly recommend! Plus they have one of my favorite drinks ! Piña just next to the fountain at no extra cost! I will be returning! The employees are so sweet and kind !“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but Ben at Costa Vida really stood out. It was busy when I came in, and he somehow managed to make every customer feel like they weren’t being rushed. He noticed a small mistake with my order before I even did, fixed it right away, and still kept a great attitude the whole time. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure people had a good experience instead of just getting everyone through the line.

Employees like Ben make a real difference. He deserves some recognition for the effort he puts in, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s earned a raise. Thanks for making the visit a great one!“

“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…“

“Great atmosphere, great service and phenomenal food! Ask for Andrea if you go and she is the best server! 10 out of 5 stars!“

“amazing food, great service.“

“I love this place. Warm salsa is amazing! Super friendly and the food is great. I have super picky Mexican food eating friends and they loved this place too. Mariachi band on Tuesdays can be fun and remember it’s ok to say no to them if you’re not in the mood. The food does take some time, but the quality is worth it!!“

“Food is made to perfection, so much flavor and the salsas are 🔥!! From breakfast to lunch and even dinner because their birria is so good! Definitely recommend this place!“

“I'm a Texan, and this is great Mexican food!“

“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)“

“I have been coming here for years. I love their chimichanga platter and their birria tacos!“

“Everything is great plus a great staff“

“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!“

“This is the best blend of Utah style Mexican with authentic flavorful dishes. The cheese crisp is a must. Atmosphere matches true Mexico vibes with epic views of the mountains out the windows. The service is quick and helpful. The best Mexican restaurant within hundreds of miles.“

“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 🙏🏽“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place slaps. The owner was cool, him and his crew know how to cook some real deal tacos and quesadillas. This isn’t your standard issue street taco either, these are full flavor blast tacos. It’s truly worth a visit. We will be back in the near future to explore more of the menu.“

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

“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.“

“Great people, great food and menu. Reasonably priced. Can't beat Taco Tuesday! New atmosphere. Like it!“

“Best Mexican food in Utah. Been going here for 20 years. My faves are the fajitas, chimichangas and carne asada. Love their salsa as well. Support local!“

“buena comida recomendada si señores“

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

“During coronavirus quarantine we try to Order from this place every week. Yesterday, was pretty crazy. The governor just asked people to stay home. People were lined up to pick up food. Your amazing employees were doing their best. Everyone was stressed and some customers took it out on the very people trying to serve them. Thank you for staying open so your employees have work and we have food. Thank your employees for dealing so patiently with the customers that don’t handle this stress so well.“

“I can count on consistent, high quality, delicious, food, here along with great service!!“

“fast fresh authentic best Mex 😊“

“Everything made to order from scratch highly recommend this“

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

“Their tacos are great, the tortillas are homemade and they have tacos for only 1.50$ on tuesdays, and the service it's great too! I threw my tacos by accident and they gave me another ones for free
Pd. You must try the aguas frescas“

“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!“

“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).“

“We like Costa Vida… but, We came today and they charged us an extra 1.99 for chicken with the kids quesadilla i was shocked as they have never charged for meat before. When we got home there was not even any chicken 😞“

“Got a burrito with steak and chicken tonight. It was a win! Always good to try something new, although the salad is still my favorite!“

“I’m not sure of all of the reasons I love Taco Time, but I do. I grew up in Utah and it was always such a great place to go. This location had amazingly friendly service and great, fresh food. We buy the bottles of hot sauce and take them back with us to AZ. It’s simple, great tasting food that we love. Great job you guys! Highly recommended.“

“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.“
