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 !“

“Cafe rio is a chain and is good Americanized Mexican food. They make tortillas fresh and melt the cheese on the tacos. I get 2 tacos ala cart. Get the salsa fresca on the side. It keeps the taco from getting too soggy. My favorite is the grilled chicken, but the sweet pork is by far the most popular. The burritos there are served on a plate and meant to eat with a fork. Not wrapped in foil para los manos. The line can get long and the order process is a bit slow. Good overall.“

“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…“

“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.

“These al pastor tacos are incredible! The pineapple is always so fresh and the corn tortillas are on a whole other level. I tried the taco with cheese today and it was life changing!! Their tacos and meat are gluten free. Their quesadillas are massive and could easily feed 2 children maybe even 3. My picky eaters love the food here. And they have apple beer on fountain which is another favorite.“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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).“

“The salsas and the tortillas are very
Yummy. I had the carne asada tacos, and they were good, but not my favorite.
in the area.Ibwill have to try something else next time. WARNING for anyone with celiac or gluten intolerant. They add wheat flour to their tortilla dough! I am so glad I asked! They made some dough without wheat flour for me.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“
