“This place is EPIC!!!!!!! Best green sauce I've ever had. Best hot sauce I've ever had. Best mole I've ever had. The owner is super rad and is very passionate about the food he makes. The strawberry tamale is my new favorite dessert. I've eaten there twice in the span of a week. Every bite is like a party in your mouth that you weren't invited to but then you realize you own the dang house, so you bust on in and to your surprise- it was a dang surprise party just for you! Stop eating at costa vida and cafe rio. This mom and pop is where you need to spend your hard earned money.“

“I served my mission in Sonora and have tried “Sonora” dogs and “Hermosillo” dogs from other places, but this was the right one. The bread was perfect (that is probably the hardest part). But the whole thing was amazing. The only thing that would make it better is if they offered a doble wini option.“

Yoyo's Tacos Food Trucks • $
350 N Freedom Blvd, Provo

“My wife had me drive all the way to Orem (from Sandy) in December just before Christmas just to visit Yoyo's Taco Truck. Well, OK...so we DID do some Christmas Shopping at University Place Mall afterward - and ate our tacos there in the mall's food court - but for us, the highlight of our Christmas Holiday trip was YoYo's Tacos! My wife had heard of this taco truck on Facebook and since it had rave reviews we just HAD to make the trip to the Smith's parking lot there off of 350 N Freedom Blvd. and found the Yoyo's truck! I ordered three street tacos ($2.80 EA) with the Birria marinated beef...which was de-lish! But I should have ordered the much larger burrito with the Birria for $14.00 My wife enjoyed her street tacos and we realized that we were still hungry after finishing only a few each. But hey, live and learn, right? With that said, the cost of dinner exceeded the value, we think. YMMV. Next trip we're going when it is much warmer (they had a nice LPG warmer outside for the customers,) and get larger orders for each of us. I found out that I love Birria...but never heard of it before. The Birria was definitely the go-to meat for these tacos, burritos, and their other specials. May have to order "Danny's Special" next time...a plate of Birria with rice, beans, four corn tortillas, and Au Jus (what YoYo's refers to as "Consome") for dipping...all for $15. Four Stars for some flavorful Michoacan cuisine but it came at a high price (doesn't everything these days?) that didn't leave us feeling like we fully got our money's worth.“

“Lived in Provo a couple years and thought to finally leave a review. Food isn't quite like what it was like for me in California, but it's unfair to compare the two. So its pretty up there in terms of what you can get in Utah, and the service is straightforward and easy. Food came out in less than 10 minutes for me, which is always great to see. It has a nice atmosphere inside with nice ambient lighting. By far one of my favorites around downtown provo.“

“Whenever they are offering their Chiles en Nogada, be sure to order it! This chef is from the region this dish was created and he prepares this pork and apple dish in cream sauce better than the best restaurants I have had it in Mexico. The staff is delightful, as well. This down-stairs restaurant is a hidden gem.“

“The pupusas here are DELICIOUS! I love this place so so much! I'm a huge pupusa fan, and I hate how they are in Provo because I live in Draper, and every time I'm craving a pupusa, I make the drive! It's totally worth it. Let me tell you why these are the best pupusas In all of UT. I've been around literally EVERY pupusa place in UT, and none NONE of them compare to these delicious pupusas. Something about them is just different. The sizing is perfect, the beans are delicious, the cheese is so flavorful, and meshes well with the beans inside the pupusa. I always get the revueltas. Which are the beans, cheese, and pork ones. The pork is SOOOO delicious. Definitely is and has that homemade taste. Very authentic. They give you the red sauce on the side with the traditional Salvadorian cabbage salad. These both combined with the pupusas, are heavily. YUM! Also, not just the pupusas are delicious here. Their other foods on the menu are delicious and equally as yummy as the pupuas. The waiters are always so sweet, and the tables are super clean, great atmosphere, and great service! Would I recommend this place? Um, ABSOLUTELY drop everything and go now!!!! Lol, I will also say the price of the pupusas is pretty great for the portion size! As you can tell... this place has my heart. I've been coming here since I was a little girl and when it was owned by the previous owners. The new owners are Bolivian but kept the same recipes! I just wish they were open on Sundays still. Now they don't open Sundays. Furthermore, I still Love this place!!!!“

“We went there and I had a Chimichanga. The meals cost about 12.50 each. You order and pay up front. Then the cashier brings you your food. I was surprised to see a big plate come my way. It had a good helping of spanish rice and refried beans. Also, there was a small salad. The chimichanga was big. It was moist and tasted good. The food was good. It had a different style of taste. But it was good. The flour tortilla was deep-fried. My wife had a quesidia. It was a big portion. Again, it was cooked differently, but it was good. The atmosphere was good. But it was cold. I wished I would have worn a coat. It was casual with wooden tables and chairs. I had to get directions to the bathroom. The cashier was kind and helpful. We both said we would return.“

“Omigosh! We were so happy to find Bajio was still here. There used to be one in St. George and we were so sad when it left. The food here is just as good and the staff is very friendly. Y'all need to open one in St. George. St. George is growing and y'all would be very successful there. The other two restaurants that are similar do not hold a candle to Bajio. Please come back!“
