29 Best Mexican Restaurants in Orem

“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…“

“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.“

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

“Very good. My husband and I wanted to try something new and randomly saw this place. The cheese steak burrito was very good. My husband put the boom boom sauce on it but regretted his decision because for him it was too spicy, so just a heads up, it is spicy. That was his only complaint. Other than that, it was very good food!“

“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.“

“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 🙏🏽“

“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!!“

“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.“

“buena comida recomendada si señores“

“😍😍😍😍…………………………………………………….“

“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.“

“If you don’t understand the vibe and style of food motel west is going for then you’ll totally miss the concept and think it’s “overpriced” or “slow”. Everything menu item is genuinely thought through and meticulously made to give you way more than the generic Mexican food restaurant where you go and spend $1 on a street taco. I eat at flemmings and Ruth’s Chris at least once a month and I can honestly say comparing price/quality/flavor/presentation to those two, motel west comes out on top. I Absolutley would and will pay the money time and time again to eat here. The pricing is Absolutley reasonable for the quality of food they are going for. 🙏🏽“

“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!“

“los tacos estan bien sabrosos y los ivito a probar de verdad“

“Absolutely amazing! The food was fantastic and the people are so wonderful and gracious!“

“I got very lucky tonight and stumbled upon a (pre) opening of a great new good place.So, it is located near the Orem Mall, inside the Oh Mai restaurant.From what I'm understanding, Oh Mai is open during the day and then Vietnamex takes over and is open at night.I had the honor of ordering a taquito, as well as an Huarache. They were both great, and I may have a new obsession with the Huaraches.This place is worth the visit, I assure you that!“

“This is my go to taco restaurant. Seriously fantastic food. I really enjoy the asada street tacos but my favorite are the fish tacos. I’ve been looking for a good place to get fish tacos and this place exceeded my expectations. Best fish tacos in Utah by far.“

“I’ll admit it, I only come here for the fresh strawberry and peach shakes. They’re incredible and they could sell just these and there would still be lines here all summer, the shakes are that good, they’ve hit a home run with the summer fresh shakes. I often get 2-3 and bring them home for the whole family as a surprise.“

“hey I am trying to get a hold of someone who works there. i left a personal item i need back and they are closed for a week!!“

“I am a Taco Time fan for over 30 years. I was sad to see both the Heber and Nephi locations decline in service and cleanliness then close permanently. This Taco Time is super clean and the staff is friendly. The best part is the food though, it's the consistent Taco Time quality I remember.“

“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.“
