“The food and service are always impeccable. This is my wife and I's favorite Mexican restaurant in SLC. Its a great experience every time we have visited and Filipe, our server tonight made it a memorable night. This is a reoccurring spot for us and I dont see that changing any time soon.“

“Grand opening specials and delicious food keep us coming back twice in a week now. It is located next to a local Target, so they have a great position to succeed with the flow of traffic and a large parking lot. I hope these specials remain the same or similar, the food economy needs places like this! Food should be affordable and tasty. You guys do both, excellent job.“

“While on my visit to Salt Lake City during the holidays, My friends and I discovered this awesome Mexican restaurant! The experience was like being at a family gathering enjoying home made food! The atmosphere is very casual, the service attentive and the food top notch. The prices are very reasonable given the high quality of the food! We enjoyed the tacos. Quesadillas and Chili Rellenos! We left full and very satisfied with the experience at this mom and pop Mexican restaurant! I would highly recommend this place if you are a local or just visiting!“

“Went in right at open last Saturday for the first time. The service was great! I was impressed by how professional everyone was and loved the salsa bar. We loved what we ordered, my new favorite Mexican food in SLC. We both walked away full saying we'll be back soon!“

“I’ve been here. . . oh, maybe 100 times the past two years. I absolutely LOVE it. They don’t use lard in their beans, their tortillas are vegan, and the fajita veggies are the best. Vegan burritos, ftw. Thank you, Carl, et al, for providing my this urban respite.“

“amazing place so much space and the food is amazing! burrito came out big and smothered it was perfect 🙏 thank you guys loved the agua fresca de tamarindo too! 😇“

“This is easily the most astonishing Mexican resturant I have had in a long time, the food is some of the most fresh I have seen and all the food taste like it was homemade and veggies seemed fresh from the garden“

“I recommend their tripa. Very delicious and crispy. GAS ⛽“

“My experience at Sol and Sabor was more than just a meal it felt like a moment I’ll carry with me.

From the very first bite, I knew I was tasting something rare. The flavors weren’t just good… they were alive. Every bite felt intentional, rich with culture, crafted with care, and overflowing with love. I found myself slowing down, savoring each moment, because it honestly felt too special to rush.

I had the huevos rancheros, and I’m still in awe. The depth, the balance, the way every flavor came together so beautifully it was unforgettable. It’s been years since food in Utah has moved me like this. Not just satisfied me, but genuinely touched me.

You can feel that this isn’t just cooking it’s passion, it’s heritage, it’s heart poured onto a plate. And I’m so deeply grateful for that. Grateful for the hands that prepared it, for the culture that shaped it, and for the experience of tasting something so full of life.

This place didn’t just live up to the hype it awakened something. Hands down, my favorite spot now. I truly thank God for moments like this… because food like this is more than food it’s a gift. Sorry I dove into my food before I could get a perfect picture!!! Trust me it’s a must have 🙌🏼🩵🤍👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼🙌🏼“

“My wife’s sister recommended this to us. It’s our new favorite restaurant. Quick service. Delicious food!“

“SO much variety! Different foods, drinks, specials, seasonal items :D“

“👍👍👍👍👍Had a terrific lunch here on Monday (6/23/25). Staff were all friendly and accommodating. Food was great. Not your regular Mexican dishes, more like Mexican with a unique twist! I had the Quesabirria (kind of like a quesadilla)and Ashly had the Birria Stew. We each chose lamb for the meat. These were made well, delicious and beautifully presented. Using lamb and the Birria style gave everything a unique, delightful flavor! It was a perfect afternoon for eating outside, too.“

“incredible hard shelled tacos and my husband LOVES the Carna asada plate. we eat there weekly it's less expensive than fast food. I have a hard time with the spice and I have not had any problems. Best Mexican I have ever ate. Thank you so much and the service is great.“

“Delicious food, I can’t wait to try more“

“First time trying this place, and the food was so delicious. I ordered the Avocado Tuna Ceviche, the fish was tender and in strips, the sauce was super delicious and the vegetables were all super fresh. There was only one server so service was a little slower that I'm used to but he did amazing at juggling all the work himself. He was super friendly and recommended drinks that were great as well. Will definitely be coming back! Great atmosphere and great customer service!“

“Pleasant, professional and fast!! Amazing food!“

“This place is delicious with the most authentic Mexican food in town. Employee are super nice and great customer service! Definitely worth the drive . Very clean restaurant. Barbacoa is the best!“

“Muy buena comida, buen ambiente y excelente atención“

“The staff did an awesome job making a gluten free order. The person waiting on me asked if it was a need or a preference. Once they knew it was a need they cleaned the grill and cooked fresh corn shells to avoid contamination. The person at checkout put the order in a different bag. I appreciate the care and concern.“

“Been coming here for a few years and it was great but since returning a couple months ago I feel it has gone down hill. The Ducky drink tasted like pure juice and no alcohol. Not impressed. Food is pretty good but not consistent. Menus changed and so did the prices !! Wow, gone up a lot! Probably won’t go back for a while. Maybe in a few months I’ll go back and try it again.“

“Very good food in this restaurant“

“Es un restaurante de comida mexicana auténtica. Estilo ciudad de mexico y con un sabor bueno y diferente con sus famosa corn quesadillas al pastor y no puede faltar su tacos alpastor con pina delicioso y una gran variedad de antojitos mecicanos.“

“First time here. Ordered the Camarones al Charappo. Delicious!!! Server was not too attentive/friendly? Didn't offer coffee or desert after I finished my meal. Dropped off check. Training issue.“

“demaciado ricos los burritos super recomendado el lugar comida realmente exquisita 🌯🌮“

“Not only did I get my delicious tamales to celebrate Christmas, but in my haste and distraction I left my wallet on the counter and the employees kept it for me. An hour later, when I was about to pay at this other place I realized I did not have my wallet. I called Victor’s Restaurant and they had it. My wallet was intact, and nothing was taken from it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your honesty. God bless all of you. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Great Spot. It's a Mexican food spot, but they made a fantastic Lomo Saltado. It wasn't as traditional Peruvian as other lomo that I've had, but it had the perfect little Mexican flavor and twist to it. Fresh tortillas were bomb and the choco-flan topped it off perfectly. The sweetest lady served me and I'd go back just to feel like I've got a Mexican abuelita that cooks for me.“

“el pollo muy rico el servicio exelente“

“Iris is the best came in under the gun needing to get to the airport Fast food came in sooo fast fired it right on the spot ❤️❤️❤️and better know that she fired our food in five minutes. it taste amazing their prices gair and homade tortilla!!!!! amazing !!!! Thanks guys !!!!“

“Was pretty good, loved the verde sauce and atmospheric grit. Was at the Hollywood Heritage Museum book sale today and saw the original vintage photos of the place. Very cool!“

“The truck was at the Downtown Garner pop-up today and we decided to try it. EXCELLENT - very fresh and flavorful, nice people, and it was served quickly. I’d happily recommend this food truck!“

“Los mejores tacos 🌮 de birria los recomiendo no te quedes sin probarlos está muy ricos“

“Les recomiendo los tacos están deliciosos tienen variedad y son muy amables“

“Best Mexican food in town! I've heard this neighborhood can be dicey but it was perfectly safe and the mole is out of this world!!! The food is authentic, fresh, and amazingly flavorful. The service was very friendly and the food came very quickly and at the proper temperature. The soup is also wonderful. This hole-in-the wall is a real find! My husband and I will return often.“

“Yummy burrito bowls! I've been there before and I already tell him that I want black beans and rice and they look at Batman Go. Do you want beans and rice? It's like they didn't hear me. Maybe they're just so used to asking instead of somebody who knows what they're going to ask. But it's delicious. I love the hot sauce“

“Just a couple of truckers from Oklahoma, and I will say the burrito and tacos were the best I've had while being on the road. Pop and daughter making very high-quality food. You are now on our stopping list for anytime we're in SLC. Thank you, amigo.“

“We love the Rio Grande we go there a lot before Gymnastics and other things at the U.“

“Feels like yucatan. Food is good and portion sizes humungous for the prices.
The meat could be more marinaded to take it to next level. The salsa sauce choices are various- aka taco bell 25 years ago. Overall value for money and eat to hearts content.“

“The cauliflower Tacos blew my mind! They were huge and filled me up! I've never had anything like it! They came with rice and beans that were so delicious and their chips are seasoned nicely for their salsa bar options. The enchiladas were good too.“

“Blackened salmon tacos were really nice. House made tortilla chips were good too. This was an exceptional meal overall, all in our group agreed. It is a family owned business. Our server was excellent too. We’ll be back on our future Wasatch ski trips.“

“This is my go to. I don’t think anywhere else cures hunger pangs or depression quite like here honestly. The shrimp tacos are absolutely delicious. Bizarre to think you’d find awesome seafood tacos in salt lake at a taco cart. But everything is good. Great lengua also!“

“Mayra A did great. There were about 20 guests, and she was taking orders and making the food. She was on top of it and was friendly the whole time. If you have downtime between flights, I would definitely recommend it. The food was good and reasonably priced.“

“I don’t have a picture because these vampiros were so amazing they were gone in seconds. Highly, highly recommend!The location might not seem appealing, but give it try. You 100% will not regret it.Possibly the best street tacos in all of Utah!“

“I ordered Sopes and it was great!! I love that they had a vegetarian option (cheese/beans). My husband also loved his food. We grew up around authentic Mexican food, and this tasted authentic!! Hit the craving while away from home. Ordered through DoorDash!“
