First time trying Oteo and it did not disappoint! The parking lot is very small and we actually had to park across the street and walk over. The restaurant itself is small, quiet, and minimal. However, it’s creates a nice intimate environment which I enjoyed.We started with the queso and it was absolutely delicious. It was so creamy and the jalapeños were a great addition to have some spice. The corn tortillas tasted homemade and I loved how you spin the cheese and put it into your tortilla. Would definitely get that every single time.I ordered the tacos. I got one salmon and one beef. The beef is advertised on the menu as a hangar steak and cooked medium rare. I will say, although the tortilla and the jalapeños were good for the taco, the beef itself was disappointing. It was chewy and cooked more like medium well. Didn’t seem like the best quality either. There wasn’t much pink at all in the meat. Some bites were flavorful and seasoned well and other bites had no flavor. I have to say, I was expecting a lot better - especially because our waitress said that was the best one. In my opinion, there also needed to be some type of sauce. The taco, likely due to the meat, was dry. The tortilla was delicious though.The salmon taco was the saving grace for the steak taco. It was a big piece of salmon and had amazing flavor. It was cooked perfectly. The sauces were creamy and delicious and all of the flavors complimented the fish very well. I would definitely order this again. I was very impressed.The service was really good too and they made sure to refill our drinks throughout our meal.I will definitely be back here for the queso and the salmon taco. I would like to try the shrimp taco as well. Pass on the steak taco. There’s better in the valley.

I love the small, intimate, cozy ambiance of this restaurant in residential Lindon. The service is friendly and quick. The flavors are unique and contrasting. I love the presentation of the food, so colorful. Their queso dip is the best I've had, and the tortillas are thick and taste homemade. I've been here 3 times now, and I've been happy with my experience every time. Fresh, filling, and flavorful!

We love Oteo. It was on my list for a long time and certainly did not disappoint. We love getting the tacos with two different meats. There are so many unexpected and successful flavor profiles and we will be back for more!

OKAY. This is gas. Best service I've ever seen. Best tacos in Utah. Get the salmon, shrimp, avocado tacos. The churro dippers. TOO DIE FOR. Not only is it delicious, but such a vibe with a great playlist, cute environment. The chefs and server are personable and are my new best friends. All plates were licked cleaned. I wish I took a picture of my plates but I ate them all too fast!

Service, top notch! Elizabeth knew her stuff and was very kind and helpful. Food was BOMB! We read one review while sitting here about how the shrimp tacos are bland... but they are FAR from that. Beautiful blend of flavors and gourmet. Will be returning :)

Honestly this place was hyped up and after trying it, I don't know what all the hype is about. I got the tacos, pork and hanger steak. The pork one was okay needed salt and too greasy, the steak tasted super old. Took one bite and couldn't eat any more. The service on top of that sucked, two servers standing around talking, and no one came to check on us. When they came to finally give us our check the sever seen we had each only had a bite of steak taco and when asked didn't want a box. Didn't ask if there was something wrong or nothing. Super bad experience, wouldn't go again.

Excellent food. Truly gourmet. Incredible mix of flavors. And it's all plated so well. (Just know that the portion sizes are a little on the small side.) Got the sope and tacos. Both amazing.

We honestly came for the reviews… really disappointed there wasn’t a kid menu and spent way too much because of that. My sons shrimp tacos were so bland I wouldn’t even take a picture of them. I would have also taken a picture of the menu but they had food splashes all over them. We ordered 2 set of pork tacos, amazing. The Apple and manchego cheese salad (bland), burrito was fine. Water.. no ice. I was excited about this place, probably won’t come back.

One of our favorite restaurants in Utah, we’ve come here countless times. Absolutely incredible flavors and quality. Different than any other Mexican restaurants in the area — so fresh, modern, and unique. Everything we’ve tried here is to die for. It’s a small space and fills up quickly, so make a reservation. Seriously a must try for anyone in the area!
We ordered quite a few dishes and a couple of cocktails. We were super impressed with everything we received. The grilled octopus and grape leaves were excellent.

Yum! The food was delicious. I had the empanadas and they were very flavorful. They also were kind enough that bring a quesadilla with guacamole to my two-year-old. Great customer service!

We loved the food here! Big fans of the queso fundido, definitely a different take on your typical queso and chips but it was delicious! We could taste the care and love in each bite. My wife got the tacos with hanger steak and chicken. Beef was so tender and flavorful. She loved them! I got the Torta with hanger steak and it was fantastic. We had a big group so the service was a tad slow but they were very nice and even treated our whole group to their delicious churros! I definitely recommend this place!

My husband and I tried this place yesterday. The set up inside is very elegant and clean. The staff was beyond friendly and the food was very fresh. They surprised us with some free dessert on the house which was very nice. I will say that they have healthier portion sizes, so you don’t exactly leave stuffed but you still leave quite satisfied.

My little kids loved the fruit salad dish sans any seasonings. Loved to unique combination of flavors. I'd give them 5 stars if they had Horchata. The churros were a bit small but I've got a big sweet tooth and would have loved to see 5 or 6 churros to an order. Or either a small or large size.
